No ultrawide support?

[Chef_423]

Gotta be kidding me....

It has ultrawide. It's just oddly limited in some ways.

I read the hex hack was removed with the last update. Really want this game, but no UW support is just a killer. Not playing with bars lol. What PC gamer doesnt have an UW screen at this point anyway???

The community fix seems to be up to date.

It's linked on the page I linked.

Most of them. Seriously.

Most of them.

Hell, I'm in the minority even having something as high as 2560x1440.

Wow, if that's true. Depressing. $800 or so for a good gaming screen isnt alot of money. People have no problem dishing out money for junk food, weed etc. Stop that for a month and boom, new screen. Problem solved.

Thanks for the responses. Ill give it a looksy.

Not having ultrawide isn't a problem when 16:9 is still the standard and most likely will be for quite a while yet.

Television standard tends to dictate that sort of thing, and there's very little chance of that going wider.

For consoles, yea...not for PC. Not attempting to argue here, just hoping more people get it. Truly worth every penny. Not to mention, its just gonna look better. My screen has HDR 400, not the 1000, but it still is stunning none the less. Every game I have supports 21:9. So its hardly a 'nich'

Thanks again for the updates. Gonna buy the game now and give it a try. :)

Here is what I have: https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Frameless-Monitor-3440x1440/dp/B084ZLWJTY

Super happy with it and half the cost of a high end GC.

So, with that monitor, because of how this game does ultrawide, you'd have 40px bars on either side without using the fix.

It's very strict about what 21:9 means, while monitor manufacturers aren't. 3440x1440 is 21.5:9, and without the fix, the game would render at 3360x1440.

Yea I read that. Ill make it work or refund it. Blame all Devs and hardware makers for that gaff. But. no one has a 4096 screen either for 4k lol.

In 3440x1440 you just end up with tiny black bars at the edges. It cuts off 40 pixels on each side, so only 2% of your width. I completely forget about it unless its mentioned honestly.
Cinematics like usual have much heavier framing to the standard ratio. (the framing is artistic/cinematic shots would have to be totally redone to work in different ratios)

I imagine many are like me and want a GPU upgrade to RTX before investing in a new monitor and I personally am not going to jump through a bunch of hoops to get one so I make do with what I have.

Also you know people who spend $800 a month on weed? Must be some good s—.

Umm, in CA, you better believe it. Prices here are out the a$$. When I was smoking I was easily spending a hund a week. Just saying, take a look at (any persons) budget and you can find $800.

I have a 1080 Ti Duke and this monitor made me halt on buying an RTX. I will wait for the 4000 series OR RDNA 3 cards. The 3000 cards are OK, but a 20% increase isnt worth my investment and Ray Tracing is still in its infancy. The 4000 series / RNDA 3 cards will really open that up. Point with all this, the Cooler Master GM-34CW I bought made me appreciate what I have now. The display really makes the difference! G-sync / FreeSync is worth every penny...everything is always smooth as butter.
