Thanks for the reply.
I have yet to make it to a video section yet I believe, since I've never played this before I wanted to get everything in order before moving forward. If there's one near the beginning I can click ahead to try it though.
Unfortunately switching from normal to wide or back fails to resolve the issue, the black space is just larger in the case of wide. Here's
an image in-game of normal width,
and here's
one of wide.
It appears the bg images are almost fully visible, but fail to stretch to the dimensions of the window/fullscreen, and yet UI elements (such as text border) do stretch, and are being cut off. They also don't appear when in the visible partition (such as with the exit dialog buttons).
In-game, the dialog arrows next to the text also appear to be affected some way. (hard to tell from the screenshots)
I originally used your 64-bit installer, and just now I uninstalled and reran using your 32-bit version. No change. (I'm on Windows 10)
As mentioned in my edit, this appears to only affect the High quality mode. Image is complete in Low at all resolutions, up to 1440p.
Also of troubleshooting note, in between changes to compatibility and random tinkering I have been deleting the config files in the save folder, as mentioned in your FAQ. (I actually help people troubleshoot a wonky Jenga-like hw/fw/sw system designed in Belgrade all day at work, so I know the struggle of getting people to be diligent to details lol)
Also apologies, I don't actually have an account on that forum at the moment. Was just curious in this series, and this seemed like a solid revitalization.
EDIT:
I was clicking through the story in Low, and switched to High. Now it looks like
this: Progress?
I can get UI elements now, but the bg is just stuck in the corner.
