Widescreen Gaming Forum

Uh, did you read the Detailed Report (first post up there) ? :?
Every game behaves in its own way when it comes to widescreen. King's Bounty goes fullscreen in 16:10 and adds black bars in 16:9 resolutions (like 1280x720). 16:9 is still natively supported, i.e the game works by default in that aspect ratio. And as an added bonus, it's not even stretched; the downside is, slices on the sides of your 16:9 display will be unused. The developers made this choice, it is not a bug. I understand you'd prefer fullscreen gameplay and I feel for you, but that's just not how this particular game handles the intricate issue of looking good on all displays - widescreen or not.

Hi.

Can someone please let me know if 1280x768 resolution also has the black bars?

I know 1280x720 has black bars and 1280x800 doesn't...

... but what about 1280x768?

Hmmmm... really would like to know as that is my monitor's native resolution.

Much appreciated!

Here's another comparison set (feat. KB: Armored Princess) that includes 1280x768.

4:3 (1024x768)


15:9 (1280x768)


16:9 (1360x768)

Awesome! Thanks.

Just what I was looking for!

I'm not so worried about the black bars , but the green bars overlaid on top of the black bars might be distracting... I understand that even the mouse pointer is allowed to venture inside the black bars. I really hope a patch or mod gets released to at least correct that weird overlay-effect.

Oh well..
:?

I doubt it. I got it to render without the black bars but the text became undreadable. The letter spacing was all over the place.

Seeing how KB:Crossworlds was patched to support 16:9 properly, should KB:TL get a C ? I'm inclined to think so, but Grade Calc requires nothing short of "major anomalies" for a C... Guess it's just B- for Legend and B+ for Crossworlds, then.
