Baldur's Gate Original Saga won't stretch to fullscreen, even with emuated desktop

Post by Yostel »

Hi !
I am running into some issues trying to run my old copy of Baldur's Gate using Wine.
After having installed the game from the CD, running it shows the game in a tiny window in the top left of the screen (see screenshots below).
I would like to have the game stretched to the full size of my screen, if possible keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio.

My wine version is 7.5 (running Windows 7), and I'm using Manjaro(Gnome).
GPU is integrated Intel graphics.
Terminal output : https://pastebin.com/RzEzJhnB

I have tried :
- Changing the resolution of the game : to the best of my knowledge, the resolution is fixed to what looks like 640x400, and I haven't found any way to change it.
- Installing the widescreen mod : doesn't work with this version of the game.
- Using the in-game windowed option : the resulting window is not resizable.
- Using the "emulate a virtual desktop" with my screen resolution in winecfg : results in the below screenshots.

I am running out of ideas, and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance !

Fullscreen with desktop mode : Image (resizable, but only adds black around the image)
Windowed with desktop : Image

Update : I still haven't managed to get it to work with Gnome.
However, using i3wm, the game works as intended.
