The Game supports only 4:3 Aspect Ratio - you need HEX edit the Aspect Ratio to get it HOR+

Downloadthe replacement executable since the Steam and D2D executables are protected !!!

HEX edit Aspect Ratio: Go to --> ...\steamapps\common\Call of Cthulhu\Engine\CoCMainWin32.exe
Look for A5 AC A9 3F and change it to CD CC CC 3F (16:10) or 39 8E E3 3F (16:9). You need to do it for all 3 Instances.
