Widescreen support?

Post by Prisoner416 »

I have a widescreen monitor, and every time I activate full-screen mode for Grim Fandango, the graphics are sadly distorted. the width is stretched and parts of the top and bottom are cut off.

Would it be possible to create a letterbox version that adds blank space to simulate the original 4:3 ratio?

I had similar issues with my monitor, but it was solvable there: The resolution _IS_ 640x480, but atleast my monitor defaulted to "Stretch to fit"-mode. Try looking into your monitor's settings to see if you have a 1:1 mode or "Maintain Aspect"-mode available.

Any software-solution from our side would mean completing some sort of way to select a semi-arbitrary resolution (which doesn't necessarily make TOO much sense, when playing with 640x480 prerendered backgrounds.)
