Has it solved itself now? Maybe could have been a loading error.

Most likely has to do with resolutions...possibly the newly added full screen feature. It does similar things on my computer...I am running an a high res, wide screen resolution and it stretches the graphics out a lot and sometimes does funky stuff with the window like this. That is why i choose not to use it. Not saying that is the cause of your problem...but a likely possibility.

The only thing I could see causing that (in any normal situation) would be if you had another program, or you yourself, altering your computers resolution. Doing so can sometimes have an impact on your other programs resolution/size settings.

Well I've pretty much found out the way stick online is currently set up...it was definitely not intended to be played on widescreen resolutions. If I may, I would like to through out a request for SO3 to be compatible (and by that I mean look nice) with both fullscreen and widescreen resolutions. Maybe an option in an options menu? However it may be implemented, I'd like it to be considered.

Actually, I didn't do anything when it happened. When i opened it up, the menu was fine... but when i logged in, the screen size shrunk instead of grown, and it stayed like that.

I do not have a conclusion, but i agree with mr. pwnage. I have a huge widescreen. Not being able to play it widescreen? That is the suck.
I vote for Mr. Pwnage idea!

You can play it fine in wide screen. The only thing is full screen loses some quality in it...you can always change your resolution if you want it to look nice...but there isn't much point...just don't do full screen if you don't want stretched sprites.
