Simple widescreen patch for the GOG version of Settlers IV, which adds the ability to change the ingame resolution.
Widescreen fix for Settlers IV Gold Edition (GOG)
NOTE: this patch ONLY works with the GOG version of Settlers IV!
Installation
- Download ZIP archive from ModDB or GitHub
- unpack using 7zip or WinRAR
- copy all extracted files and copy them into the `Exe` folder next to the `S4_Main.exe`
- (optional) edit the `WidescreenFix.ini` to your liking, but the default values should be good
- enjoy!
Supported Versions
Known Limitations
- with resolutions higher than 720p, there are graphical glitches in the lower left corner
- Steam Deck native resolution is not supported and will cause a black screen, use 1280x720 instead
- Wine / Proton users will see a black box next to the HUD when using Hardware render mode and DXVK (no idea what is going on, it works fine on Windows)
