21:9 / Ultrawide support?
Hi,

This game supports my resolution 3440x1440 but aspect ratio only goes to 16:9 or auto? Anyone managed to get it working with ultrawide? Any way to force 21:9?

Thanks.

Should work
My resolution isnt as high as yours but still 21:9

Keep aspect ratio on Auto
Edit: My screenshots btw. Easy gallery on imgur :P
2nd Edit: You can see I'm not using the max resolution
That's because of DSR of Nvidia (Basically making higher resolutions compatible with lower res screens, like 4k on 1080p)

Thanks for the answer.

Weird, when I set those settings my screen gets streched.

Everything is wider but the FoV is the same as 16:9. I wonder if its some graphic card setting? I use Nvidia Gtx 1080.

Somehow when I run the game in windowed mode it maintains the aspect ratio but when I switch to fullscreen it goes back to 16:9 streched...

And windowed mode is unplayable because really bad fps as well as the border/taskbar showing. Never had this problem before.

Only workaround I found so far to get 21:9:

1. Run game in -windowed mode
2. Remove boarder using 3d party tool http://westechsolutions.net/sites/WindowedBorderlessGaming/
3. Disable g-sync and windows fastboot which cause low fps in windowed mode

Still not optimal, I get around 70-80 fps on my GTX 1080 (100+ in full screen) and no g-sync, but at least its playable.

If anyone finds a way to get 21:9 without streching in full screen working, let me know.

I just built my pc and got an ultrawide monitor mainly to play GTAs on 21:9. I got gta 4 today(10.17.2020) from steam but for the life of me I can't get it to run in ultrawide. Even when i'm in windowed mode it's stretched, anybody found a fix?

Also looking for a fix...

Correct image windowed, but stretched in fullscreen...

I have installed FusionFix mode and that solved the problem
