Re: How can I stop a game from being windowboxed?
Most of Gabriel Knight's in-gameplay screens have a black margin on top and below the main gameplay screen. Top is reserved for the game menu -- which appears when you move the mouse cursor at that area, and below is for subtitle text (which is used when subtitles are enabled) or other useful in-ga...

Re: How can I stop a game from being windowboxed?
We have a page in our documentation that tries to explain how those settings work: https://docs.scummvm.org/en/v2.5.1/advanced_topics/understand_graphics.html Yeah, I studied that page prior to asking for help. What confused me is that I expected that the game to look different on screen. I didn't ...

How can I stop a game from being windowboxed?
Hello, everybody, I'm trying to play Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers using ScummVM (2.5.1) at the correct aspect ration, and even though I've done research and attempted a large variation of settings, nothing works. Windowboxing is forced. I even tried DOSBox (0.74) but the same problem occurs t...

Re: How can I get the Steam overlay to work with ScummVM?
Thank you for all your help. One last question. Do you happen to know where ScummVM defaults to store the saved game files? I looked around and I don't see anything resembling the saved files I created in-game. ScummVM should save the games wherever the savepath for the game (via Edit Game, now &qu...

Re: How can I get the Steam overlay to work with ScummVM?
Is there at least a way to save the settings made to each game done through the "edit game" portion of ScummVM? As it is, I need to go into "edit game" for my preferred settings to be loaded every time I launch. Also, if I run the newest version of ScummVM, my saves for the game...

Re: How can I get the Steam overlay to work with ScummVM?
Thank you, but this means that I would be playing the game as a non-Steam game, isn't that correct? Yes, but it's still within the Steam client and you get the overlay too. It's a workaround but it's decent enough. I don't know of any important features you miss out. Is there no way to fix this to ...

Re: How can I get the Steam overlay to work with ScummVM?
I would've thought it'd be as easy as setting the display mode to OpenGL, but I guess not? That doesn't seem to be the case for me, but it's possible that there's a simpler solution than my workaround, which I haven't thought of or tried. Anyone's welcome to describe an alternative (preferably trie...

Re: How can I get the Steam overlay to work with ScummVM?
Could you provide some examples of such Steam titles? I've tried Riven, but Steam overlay works fine for me with it -- at least for showing the mini popup at lauch and then taking screenshots with the Steam hotkey (F12 for me). Hi. Right now I'm playing Leisure Suit Larry 2: Looking For Love (In Se...

Re: How can I get the Steam overlay to work with ScummVM?
Hi, A google search found this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/369830/discussions/0/154642321537891350/ Doesn't look there is an easy fix. Thanks Tom. Hi. Yeah, I saw that one, too, as well as a few others but none helped. I was hoping there is something in the ScummVM settings that would fix this,...

How can I get the Steam overlay to work with ScummVM?
Hello. I play some games on Steam that use ScummVM, but the Steam overlay doesn't work with it. Is there any way that I can get it to work? I tried changing some ScummVM settings, but I couldn't figure out any setting that would allow the Steam overlay to work. Unrelated to this, I would also like t...
