4:3 Retro sometimes doesn't wanna work.

Post by Max_CSD »

Hello every one! The issue is I prefer to play 4:3 retro style with black bars but sometimes during the game my screen stretches out after a loading and it becomes ugly and loses these nice looking retro lines. How do I treat the issue? Cz u won't believe me how much I love retro rendering with those 199x anime looking black bars. Help me please any answer would be well appreciated!

Welcome to the forums, Max_CSD!

Check out the "gold" and "silver" retro settings:

By the way it currently only works under Windows, as it relies on Unity to implemented the fixed aspect ratio, and Unity currently does not implement that on all platforms...

Oh interesting, that explains why I could not use that properly on my old secondary Linux notebook, a ThinkPad T420. There it stretches 4:3 to wide-screen. On that device I help myself with setting a 4:3 screen resolution in the OS prior to starting DFU.
