I bought a new 16:9 monitor, and I use a resolution of 1360x768. Myst IV only offers me 4:3 resolutions, which my monitor is displaying as wide, stretched, distorted images. Isn't there a way to tell the game to not stretch-to-fit?

Doesn't your monitor have a 1024 x 768 resolution mode?

Yes, but that doesn't seem to affect the game. It seems that Myst IV takes over the monitor completely and gives me no options that don't squash the image.

So, even if you have set your monitor to display at 1024x768, it still stretches to 1360x768? Are you sure you actually applied that setting?

Does you monitor support 4:3 unstretched resolutions ?

Maybe the Myst IV app automatically sets "Full Screen" when it opens. Don't know a way around that. Maybe UbiSoft can help, but if they did, it would be a first...

Is it possible to play in a windowed mode on a Mac ?

No windowed mode option on the Mac, but under Myst IV's "Graphics Options," on my system I can choose resolutions of 1024 x 768, 800 x 600, or 640 x 480. (There is a note that says the number of resolutions depends on the graphics card's capability.)

Yes.

Only annoying thing is that in windowed mode, the standard Mac cursor stay enabled so you have two cursors moving at differents speeds.

Hm, that's interesting. Have not seen that option. How is that chosen?

Exactly. But instead of the bin folder it's the .app folder.
