Hi,

from the screenshots on the store page it appears that the game's resolution has been adapted to a wide screen format. But judging by the screenshots they only stretched the game which makes normally round objects like coins or the compass appear oval.
Is this true in the game and if so, is there a way to revert it to the original 4:3 format? Black bars left and right of the game are less annoying than a completely distorted image.

Thanks in advance for your replies!
Hello!

On my PC the game runs in 4:3 resolution with black bars on the sides. :)

Then it is just the screenshots that are distorted. That is good to hear, thanks :)
On my system, the screen is stretched wide but fortunately, my monitor has a button to undo that.

Graphics card drivers also have scaling options. For instance, I have an nvidia graphics card, so in the nvidia Control Panel I have set under "Adjust desktop size and position" the settings Aspect Ratio and to Perform Scaling On GPU. Now, regardless of any monitor settings, the displayed image is the correct aspect ratio for the screen resolution it is using (i.e. pillarboxed for 4:3, letterboxed for 16:9 as I'm on a 16:10 monitor).

I have an AMD card and athough the option to fix the aspect ratio is there in the control centre, it doesn't work properly.
So I'm happy my monitor can fix what my GPU drivers can't.

Well, I'm not familiar with the AMD driver software, but I did find this.

I'm guessing those are the settings you tried to use? If so and it still doesn't work then it is a good thing your monitor does do the scaling.
