Ultrawide 21:9 thread here please
With usual tricks nothing worked. Can somebody more experienced maybe see if we get it to work with hex edit of the exe ?

If the dev would add FOV setting we'll be able to increase it to fix the ultrawide view

FOV does not have anything to do with supported resolution. I have not find any way to run the game in 3440x1440 (black bars left and right). Adding a FOV setting would not help....those are two separate issues sadly. Honestly for 16:9 the FOV is fine. A slider always welcome but the game is playable in 16:9. But I will wait till it's possible to play in 21:9

FOV is a crucial setting related to resolution.
This game doesn't adjust the FOV based on resolution so: setting an high resolution means you'd get not enough FOV and you'll see the camera shifted more and more closer to the crossair.
Most games adjust it in relation to the resolution, but this game doesn't.

So, adding a FOV setting would also help, but yes, native 21:9 support would be absolutely great.

For example I cannot play No Man's Sky in 21:9 even setting FOV to 100, I had to edit it manually to increase it more.

Yes in that case of course. I think you are talking about vert- games (games that crop top and bottom when you choose an ultrawide resolution, but are displayed full screen and because of cropping have very little vertical FOV). But sadly this game doesn't render 21:9 at all (not as a resolution, and not even vert-, but just black bars on the side of the 16:9 resolution). If you have a 21:9 screen and you are not getting black bars, probably you have overscaling set different (I always have 1:1 by default, with locked aspect ratio).

Anyway, please 21:9 fix as soon as possible, maybe I'll try more on my own but the developer is reading these threads, could give some tip...

so is ultrawide supported ?
rogermorse Jun 16, 2020 @ 12:54pm 
no

FOV is too low, it's unplayable
Blasta Jul 11, 2020 @ 1:54am

I played the game already. No issues in 21:9. Maybe they updated....don't know. FOV was fine, no black bars, no annoying crop. Hand scaling (flashlight / pipe) is also fine, does not get cropped.

Above solution doesn't work for me. Still no support for Ultrawide 21:9 from devs.
Game just crops and zooms 16:9 so you that you have even less FOV than a standard monitor.

The mod changes your FOV, increasing it will make the game more playable on ultrawide monitors, 90 should be enough

I have a 32:9 Odyssey G9 and while the cropped text is annoying, i feel the fov is about right even though i wish it was a bit wider. SSR is what really killed my framerate, game is good without it on a 2080 with an i9.

3840x1080 can be sellected, but like others mentioned, the text is cropped. Impossible to read notes in full. Impossible to follow the story without them readable. Text needs to be scaled down to fully show all text within the notes. I can only read what appears to be the bottom half of any notes.
Is it possible to edit a config file to resize the notes?
