Concerning Enigmatis 1, I was wondering if something could be done to change the ratio of the game, because it seems to be a 4:3 game stretched to fill the screen, which is a bit a shame :P
Game is still enjoyable, but... well, it would be nice to be able to switch to 4:3 :)
Or even better, to choose our own resolution (but this, I don't have much hope :P)

Thanks for any help !

Edit :
I just found here "C:\Users\Kaelmn\AppData\Roaming\Artifex Mundi\Enigmatis_TheGhostOfMapleCreek\CE\profile"
the file "GlobalProfile.prf". I opened it with a txt editor... and there is this line :
<Aspect_correction>0</Aspect_correction>
Unfortunately, even if I change 0 to 1, it doesn't change anything :/
If I change the value from 1 to 0 in <Fullscreen>1</Fullscreen>, it affects the game and it will launch in window. So it seems to be the good file, simply the "Aspect_correction" value who doesn't seems to work.

The easiest way would be to simply run this game in 640x480 compatibilty mode or use a screen resolution changer like this.

So, first solution is easy but what you gain in ratio, you lose it in resolution quality unfortunately :P

The screen resolution changer is handy and may be a sufficient fix. For people wanting to try it : warning, it may mess a lot your icons on your desktop. For saving & restoring your icons position, I strongly recommend the small software DesktopOK. [I still don't know how to use it in command lines though to implement it in the batch file]

For people wondering how to use the resolution changer, you have to create a .bat file that you edit it in a notepad. [Edit : Nope, you don't have to ! It's a lot easier in fact, read here !] Inside, you put your settings and save the file. In the end, you launch this file instead of game's .exe or GOG's shortcut.
Here's what's inside my file "Enigmatis.bat" :

"C:\Program Files (x86)\12noon Display Changer\dccmd.exe" -width=1280 -height=960
"C:\GOG Games\Enigmatis - The Ghosts of Maple Creek\Enigmatis_TheGhostsOfMapleCreek.exe"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\12noon Display Changer\dccmd.exe" -width=max -height=max

I'll wait a bit to see if some have an easier solution, if not I'll mark you as the main solution ;)

Thank you very much for your help :)
(and sorry again for slow answer, but I wanted to try it before answering !)

Why so complicated and creating a batch file? Simply make a shortcut or edit the GOG shortcut.
Here is an example for the shortcut I used to test it:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\12noon Display Changer\dc64.exe" -width=1024 -height=768 "C:\Users\Marko\Desktop\Enigmatis The Ghosts of Maple Creek\Enigmatis_TheGhostsOfMapleCreek.exe"

Also so far I never experienced it once that my desktop icons were touched by the resolution changer. Keep in mind that windows usually saves icon position per resolution. After executing the application the resolution will set back to the original resolution. No need to add an additional line for it.

Ahahah, simply because I didn't knew I could to do that XD (and I tried to follow the explanations on the software's page :P)
I just tried with this :

"C:\Program Files (x86)\12noon Display Changer\dc64.exe" -width=1024 -height=768 "C:\GOG Games\Enigmatis - The Ghosts of Maple Creek\Enigmatis_TheGhostsOfMapleCreek.exe"

And indeed it works. A lot easier ! (I switched to 64bits version of Display Changer btw)
But after, my icons are still messed up, but that's because I've way too much on my desktop I think :P

Big thanks, again :)

Have just seen this - GOG should include a fix like this, it's PITA to get this to work with Galaxy.

But you did manage to do it? I am Curious: did you use the parameter function to accomplish this?

No, but I tried several times until I gave up.

On the other hand it looks still shit in 4:3 - kind of clinched. Maybe it's made for an intermediate aspect ratio so it looks "acceptable" in several aspect ratios (or off in all of them). I could be closer to normal in 16:10, but I can't test this.
