Why do screenshots end up cropped?

When I take the screenshot via Nvidia screenshot feature the image saved is top left corner of the screen stretched out at my 1080p resolution. I tried all three screen options (borderless, windowed, full screen), but the end result is the same. Are there any suggestions for solutions to this, besides the driver update? I use Gog version of the game.

On an HDTV (LCD, LED, plasma or some models of CRT TVs) it is possible to display a traditional (4:3) picture in four ways:

“fit to size” - the frame is displayed in its entirety, with empty (black) bars remaining on the right and left;

“stretch to size” - the frame is stretched to the width of the screen disproportionately, making the image stretched sideways. For more or less adequate perception of the picture, distortions to a greater extent subjected to the right and left parts of the frame, keeping the center almost without deformation;

“scale and crop” - the frame is proportionally increased to the width of the screen, while the top and bottom of the picture is partially cropped (out of bounds). Such display is rarely used in its pure form;

combines methods 2 and 3 simultaneously (i.e. the top and bottom of the frame is cropped to a lesser extent, plus stretched in width)

What kind of monitor are you using? Why don't you try enabling overlay in Gog? And take screenshots with the F12 key.
