Fixing the Fullscreen Resolution Issue in Castlevania Dominus Collection

by

Are you frustrated by the Castlevania Dominus Collection defaulting to a less-than-ideal fullscreen resolution? You’re not alone. By default, hitting ALT+ENTER forces the game into a 1284×701 resolution. But fear not! This guide will help you run the game in fullscreen mode at your preferred resolution with just a few simple tweaks.

A Guide to Fixing Fullscreen Resolution in Castlevania Dominus Collection

1. Adjust Configuration File

First things first, we need to modify the game’s configuration file to set your desired resolution.

  • Locate the Configuration File: Navigate to this path on your computer: Steam/steamapps/common/Castlevania Dominus Collection/winbackup
  • Open savecfg.txt: Find and open the savecfg.txt file in this directory using a text editor (like Notepad).
  • Edit Resolution Settings: In the file, locate the last two lines that look something like this:
    LAST_CLIENT_SIZE_X = [Type here]
    LAST_CLIENT_SIZE_Y = *[Type here]

    Replace [Type here] with your preferred width and height. For example, if you want a resolution of 1920×1080, you should enter:

    LAST_CLIENT_SIZE_X = 1920
    LAST_CLIENT_SIZE_Y = 1080

    Note: The Y value might slightly alter after you start the game, so it’s okay if it changes slightly. For reference, my original Y value was 2160.

2. Configure High DPI Settings

Next, we need to ensure that Windows handles high DPI scaling correctly for the game.

  • Find the Game Executable: Go to: Steam/steamapps/common/Castlevania Dominus Collection Look for game.exe.
  • Adjust Compatibility Settings:
    • Right-click game.exe and select Properties.
    • Navigate to the Compatibility tab.
    • Click on Change high DPI settings.
    • Check the box that says Override high DPI scaling behavior.
    • In the drop-down menu, select Application.

3. Launch the Game

With these changes made, you’re ready to launch the game.

  • Start the Game: Boot up Castlevania Dominus Collection.
  • Enter Fullscreen Mode: Press ALT+ENTER to switch to fullscreen. The game should now run at your chosen resolution without reverting to 1284×701.

By following these steps, you’ll enjoy a more immersive experience with the game running at your preferred resolution.
