I know this is not on Steam, so I apologize if this is against the rules, but can someone please tell me if this works fine with Settlers IV Gold from GOG? I tried other similar programs, but they all had one error or another. I even tried a widescreen patch that almost worked - it messed up some graphics ingame. As for running it in a window, I'd get issues with every graphics option I tried in a recommended freeware program, ranging from a black screen to (with Surface Drawing, I think) the game being displayed correctly but buttons being off, i.e. I'd click wrong all the time if I'd play.So Borderless Gaming would be my next hope there.EDIT: I should notice that the game won't start at all in fullscreen without any such program.
