4:3 Fullscreen (on widescreen monitor)

[Camerooni]

Anyone found a way to run full-screen on a widescreen monitor.. I have set the screen res to 1024x768 and have my driver settings to maintain aspect ratio but it is still stretching.

The only way I have been able to play without doing my head in is to play in a window but it can be hard to concentrate with the desktop behind and the objects get harder to find because it's quite small.

Any thoughts on this?

Old thread, I know, but it may help someone...

This game will always stretch widescreen resolutions, unless a 4:3 resolution is set in the game options (800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960, or 1360x1024) with the option to always keep aspect ratios in the video card control panel (AMD Catalyst/Radeon Crimson Settings, Nvidia Control Panel, Intel HD Graphics Control Panel). With both of those options configured the game should display properly. If this has been done and still the image is shown stretched, then the problem is with the display monitor itself. Probably there's an option in the display that's stretching the image because it was set that way, or has a problem with the resolution chosen.

I played the game on 1360x1024 because the image looked sharper and better that way than with lower resolutions, with no problems at all on my 24'' widescreen display.

Good game, by the way

Thanks Azrael,

I think it's time for a replay of this one and I'll give it a go =)

One of the more enjoyable hidden object games in my collection - some of the new stuff from Artifex Mundi is amazing as well.. Grim Legends 3 is shaping up REALLY well if you like that series.
