Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hi. I'd like to request a 21:9 fix for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
The game can run in 21:9 resolutions but it only affects the hud, leaving the game with black bars on the sides (see the attached picture).
The game is running on Unreal Engine 4 if that helps.

With CheatEngine, I searched for a float value of 1.77777, added all the search results to the list, froze them and changed the first digits to 2.3. End result was Vert- fullscreen.



This is where my knowledge of widescreen patching end. Someone maybe take it from here?

I fixed it. Get the exe here.

Thank you

hi thanx for the exe, but im getting this error IMG
any solution?

my version of the game is from GoG

This doesn't working for me either.

EDIT: Oh, ok, I have to switch to Borderless Windowed Mode in order for this to work (and select 2560x1440 if I want to play at 3440x1440p).

Yarr!

It works great for me, thank you so much.

Rose, do you think your fix will give my 4:3 CRT vert+ for this game? Would be useful for vertically scrolling stages for sure.

This isn't working for me. I put the exe on the right folder, windoded mode and everything but nothing. Can anyone help?


EDIT: I resterted my pc and for some reason now its working. I tried for like an hour all kind of things and nothing, but now its working like a charm! Thank you, the community of wsgf, this site saved me so many times!

My and steam version does not work, either.
In the game there are no options above 1080p.
I would like to play in [5120x2160]!

With the fix, the UI for some quests and for most part is broken

I'll keep it at 16:9 untill someone fix the UI too

Trying to use the fixed exe with the Steam version just gives a launch error: "Failed to open descriptor file" with the location pointing to a file in the Bloodstained install folder that doesn't exist.

edit: Found the steam version of the exe, but using it does nothing. I still have 16:9 aspect ratio with the UI screwed up. The screenshot was taken while in windowed borderless. Fullscreen just stretches the image to fill the whole screen

Did you put the exe file to the correct folder? Its "..\steamapps\common\Bloodstained Ritual of the Night\BloodstainedRotN\Binaries\Win64"

Yes, it's in the right spot, but the game will not display 21:9, only the UI. Doesn't matter what resolution I set, it remains 16:9 in Borderless Window, and stretches the screen in Fullscreen.

So, there is a new update to the game that broke the fix. Can someone update this?

I just copied the file again and it works. They didn't release any patch notes so I thought why wouldn't I go back to the previous version if it worked fine before for me.

I've been unable to get the game updated for a while but it is now, so I updated the modified files as well.

It isn't working for me anymore, sadly enough. But its ok, the game is great nevertheless, but it was gorgeous in 21:9. so I hope a fix that works with me (and everyone) appears or true support

EDIT: Hey, Rose... it does work with the .exe for GOG, but if I try to load a save that I have before puting the exe it says that the save doens't have the dowloable contet nenecessary (I'm on steam), probably because of some DLC kickstarter that I don't have, but if I use the steam .exe it does let me use my save, hoewever it does not put the game on 21:9. Very odd.

Hey everyone,

Just thought I would add in my experience. GOG version, replaced the correct file in the correct Binaries/Win64 folder, but only getting a 16:9 resolution. Have tried fullscreen, windowed, and borderless; and I have also tried running each display mode in every available resolution (including 1920x1080, of course, as per the instructions). I still get the same result: 16:9 image with black bars. I got the game on day 1 and have not updated anything yet.

Thanks for all the hard work you guys do in the WSGF forums. Good luck on finding a fix! We're rooting for you!

The latest modified exe is for the latest game version.

Is exclusive fullscreen support out of the question?

Borderless is less than idea if you want to avoid the DWM forced laggy vsync, or use nvidia gsync on adaptive / freesync displays since it doesn't function properly in windowed / borderless modes.

Edit: Okay, it seems that the GameUserSettings.ini needed two different resolution variables that what I was trying to use

ResolutionSizeX=2560
ResolutionSizeY=1080
FullscreenMode=0

Changing all the other resolution ones did nothing, nor did some previous standard UE variables like ResX and ResY, but adding these to the bottom of the [/Script/Engine.GameUserSettings] section overrides everything above and works. Gsync / Fullscreen is working fine now.

The in-game options menu will say 1280x720 Fullscreen, but the resolution is actually proper and native. If you change any video settings it will default erase those additional ini settings, so you should set the file to read only after configuring it to your desired resolution. Still need to use this fixed .exe, as the standard one just pillarboxes the fullscreen image.

All of the executables I've tried have worked with the Steam version of the game, properly displaying the game at 21:9 at 2560x1080. However, the cutscenes with dialog and the menu (inventory, options, etc.) have stretched the image of the characters visible on screen vertically (from 16:9 to 21:9). Is there any way to fix this? Am I the only one having this problem?

Forgive my stupidity, but I don't think the GOG version can be updated? At least, I don't see any way to update the game. :/ Do you happen to still have the old .exe of the GOG version that I might be able to try? I'll look closer tomorrow to figure out how I can update this version in the mean time. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Rose any chance you can create a 4:3 version?




I'm using GOG Galaxy and that keeps it updated. Not sure how to update it the old fashioned way.

I'm not very tech-savy but I figured it out! Thanks for all the help guys. Didn't even know GOG Galaxy was a thing hahaha

I'm having the same issue you're having. I want to use Freesync, but I can't locate a /script folder to find the gameusersettings file. I'm fairly new to all this, so would you care to explain where I might find that file so that I can copy+paste your solution?

Thanks!

There's no "/script" folder, that's just part of the GameUserSettings.ini file that you'll be editing. To find where that file is kept just paste this into an explorer window and it should take you to the right place.



That's where you'll find the GameUserSettings.ini file. Open that and copy and paste the text with your desired resolution at the bottom of the [/Script/Engine.GameUserSettings] section of the file. It should look something like this when you're done.


Save that file and close it, then right click on the GameUserSettings.ini file and go to Properties. At the bottom of the window that pops up there will be a section labelled Attributes and next to that will be a checkbox marked "Read-only". Check this box and click Apply, then OK.

Now, provided you've copied and replaced the game's executable with the modded one, your game should be good to go! You can grab the modded exe from here.

Hope it works for you!

I've come across a few reports on my latest patchers linked from the community PCGW site not working with the Steam version as of update 1.09.

That is because the game exe is encrypted in the Steam version.
Download Steamless, then decrypt it by selecting Plugin version 3.1.x from the app menu.
https://github.com/atom0s/Steamless/releases/tag/v3.0.0.9

Then use one of my patchers to make it support the desired resolution.
