Looks like this weird resolution of 1920x2000 - WUXIA - is a "new thing". At least there are a couple of such monitors available at the local PC world, and a couple of those are in the 120-159 quid bracket.

And it also look like it is one that breaks the game's screen size requirements like the old one for 13 inch laptop screens (1024x700 or whatever it was - it was over 5 years back, a few lines off the screen saved the manufacturers a few pence per item). The game expects the X and Y pixels to be divisible into 4-pixel chunks like all other monitor resolutions were - except for that cheapo laptop screen, which needed special code. I just happened to have such a laptop at the time, so testing was a breeze!

But I won't be doing any special code for that size since
- I can buy a WUXIA monitor for a reasonable price
- But the new Dell i7 Inspiron "S" model I bought for just under a grand in November wont drive a monitor size greater than standard HD 1980x1068.

(To anyone thinking of the "S" model dell Inspiron - yes, its nice and small and takes up less desktop space. But, the graphics output is limited, the sound card has to be rammed up to 100 to hear anything, and the fans make an electric whine/moan noise, some sort of induction mode to make it quieter - no whirring so you get annoyed by the moaning of the cooling thingy. The one in the full-sized case may have been a better choice for me...)

As I would need a brand new computer and monitor to properly test the fix, it wont be happening since I have just done that recently.

Try setting your windows screen size to regular FHD 1980x1080 mode and then launch the game in desktop resolution in windowed mode - see if that works properly. If so, you have yourself a workaround.
