wrong aspect ratio for resolution like 2560x1080 #636

Closed boospy closed 6 years ago

boospy commented 6 years ago

Hello, i've installed gitversion on KDE-Neon 18.04. Really nice work :+1: The only one problem what i've noticed is that there is an wrong aspect ratio with 16:10, 16:9.... for example 1280x800, 1440x900.... Is there a way in settings? Or is this a bug?

Greetings boospy

It could be bug, and most likely will not be fixed for TSC2 (this repo).

Resolution will be different for TSC3 https://github.com/Secretchronicles/TSC3/issues/1

It isn't a bug. TSC2 scales any resolution that is not of the same aspect ratio as 1024x768 to fit that resolution's aspect ratio (which is 4:3). This is an unfortunate design decision that we have inherited from the original SMC. As xet7 pointed out, TSC3 will do this differently by adding black bars instead of scaling.

In any case, you can circumvent the problem by not using fullscreen mode and playing in windowed mode instead with an appropriate window size whose aspect ratio is 4:3. The resolution menu intends to faciliate this by painting "good" resolutions in green and "bad" resolutions in red when you actiate the drop-down list.
