Hi,

My screen resolution is 2560 x 1080. When I play this game the image stretches across to fill up the whole width of the
screen.

How can I stop the image from stretching to fill up the whole screen? I don't care about any black borders around the image, I just want to see everything in proportion.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Thank you for any help!

If your using an NVIDIA card, then enter the NVIDIA Control Panel. Under "Display\Adjust Desktop Size and Position", change "Scaling Mode" to "Aspect Ratio". Then under "perform scaling on", select "GPU", now apply the settings. Now when you play a game with a different aspect ratio than your monitor it won't stretch the image to fill the screen.

You can try to get the game to run at your desktop resolution:

Hey DrowWarrior, Thanks so much for your reply and help! It worked great! A square screen but in proportion, I forgot this game was before widescreen! lol!

Also this has solved another problem I had with Resident Evil Remastered (I bought it a few weeks ago) which also stretched the screen! Now I can play that in proportion too! Great!

Thanks again!
