Hi everyone,
As I'm sure many of you will be sinking your fangs into Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon today or in the very near future, I have stumbled upon an issue and a workaround concerning playing the game on PC (Steam) in Fullscreen mode.
Symptom: when setting the game to Fullscreen mode in the options menu, the image does not properly fill the entire screen.
(Note: I myself experience this and am seeing other users mention this in the community section on Steam)
Workaround fix: leave the game in Windowed mode and use Borderless Gaming (or any similar app if you prefer) to remove the games window borders and force a 'virtual fullscreen'. This will force the game to fill the whole display area (you shouldn't have to make any adjustments to your desktop resolution or display scaling).
(Note: the game does not appear to be rendering in a native 16:9 aspect ratio so thin vertical black bars will remain on both sides of the screen. Also, I set my game to Resolution x4, haven;t tested any of the lower settings so I'm going to assume it shouldn't matter what you set it to but may as well go all in at x4. A toaster should have no problem running the game.)
For anyone needing a download link for Borderless Gaming: right here. Towards the top of the page, underneath assets, click to download the file named BorderlessGaming9.5.4_admin_setup.exe. Run the installer, launch the app, launch BS:CotM (ensure the game is set to run in Windowed mode) and user Borderless Gaming to remove the games window borders and maximize the now borderless window to fill the whole screen.
Here's hoping for a quick patch, but for now this should hopefully get anyone facing this issue up and running in no time. Enjoy!
