I just bought this game. Heard some great things about it as a metroidvania type platformer. However, from some sources, i've also heard that there is no support for 4:3 screens on this game. Are there any patches to that effect?

I play on an 4:3 CRT with Win7, 1152x864 and taskbar attached to the left screen side.
So my real usable desktop is lower than 1152.

In windowed game mode Valdis Story fits the window with taking care of the left taskbar, but i have to adjust the correct center postion of the window manually.

In fullscreen mode there are the typical black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.

So far to confirm the game is playable on 4:3 screens for anyone in doubt of buying because of that.

Additionally the game can scale with 1x, 1.5x and 2.0x.


Btw, as the game is designed for widescreen i can't see an advantage of a patched display.

You could cut the screen left and right and zoom to a bigger picture, but then you lose time to react to fast approaching monsters. (I know at least one i have trouble with even in widescreen, so i wouldn't do that.)

Or you could remove the black bars to see more up and down. I didn't approach a monster requiring that - yet (51% game progress).
