Bard's Tale 4 wide screen not working
In Bard's Tale 4 version 4.18.3 my wide screen is not working. Meaning I can set my native resolution 3440x1440 but only the static image while loading the game is actually filling the screen. The game world is only filllng about 2/3 of my screen about 1920x1080 would do, and I have black bars on left and right.
EDIT: I was able to fix this temporarily if I change the resolution to 1920x1080 and back to 3440x1440 it works, at least until the next cut scene or if I restart the game it is broken again. I do this when I'm in the game world.

I've made a case with the support.
Not playing until this is fixed.

Re: Bard's Tale 4 wide screen not working
You can try to edit the gameusersettings.ini file and make it read-only so the resolution doesnt re-triggerianfas wrote: ↑September 18th, 2018, 12:07 pmHave you seen my edit: I was able to fix it temporarily:Besensacus wrote: ↑September 18th, 2018, 11:10 am I've made a case with the support.

21:9 widescreen works with 2560x1440, but not with 3440x1440.
Please fix this

Re: Bard's Tale 4 wide screen not working
Full screen in 3440x1440 works now, cool.
Now for the fps drop fix and I will have nothing to complain about

The next patch should have some additional optimizations for performance. My understanding is that ultrawide support will also be further improved in future updates.

Re: Bard's Tale 4 wide screen not working
Are you planning to properly support 16:10 monitors as well? On release, we just had black bars on the top and bottom of the screen to accommodate the extra vertical pixels, now with the patch it's even stranger. When opening screens like the skill tree, item inspection, etc, the screens fill a 16:9 space and the extra vertical space is filled with the gameworld. It looks especially strange when inspecting items, where most of the screen is that cloudy texture, and the top and bottom bars are showing the gameworld behind it.sear wrote: ↑September 24th, 2018, 7:54 pmGreat to hear!Besensacus wrote: ↑September 24th, 2018, 11:49 am Full screen in 3440x1440 works now, cool.

Re: Bard's Tale 4 wide screen not working
To illustrate my point, here's an image. This also occurs on the skill tree screen.agris wrote: ↑September 26th, 2018, 9:01 am[...]When opening screens like the skill tree, item inspection, etc, the screens fill a 16:9 space and the extra vertical space is filled with the gameworld.
