Solutions & Issues
Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues
  1. Install Die by the Sword - Xtended (requires the Limb from Limb expansion). This adds widescreen support and fixes various issues.
  2. Run xLauncher.exe in the installation folder to choose your resolution and other settings; all normal resolutions are detected automatically.
  3. Launch the game through xLauncher.exe or directly with xwindie.exe (do not use the original WINDIE.EXE).

UI elements and FMV cut-scenes are stretched from 4:3 while gameplay and rendered cut-scenes are Hor+ with the correct aspect ratio.
