Preliminary Ultrawide Fix via Hex Edit

[nikos]

The usual hexedit seems to be working almost perfectly, with some very minor issues. There is very slight vignetting that is mostly visible over bright areas and the transitional cutscenes look a bit odd. Regular cutscenes are pre-rendered so they shouldn't be an issue.

Open the game's exe in HxD.
Replace all hex-value occurrences (should be 12) of 39 8E E3 3F with your desired value.
You can find common values here: https://www.wsgf.org/article/common-hex-values.

Not working for me sadly with 16:10, still get black vertical bars even with the values replaced.

its better than nothing. like you said, the transitional cutscenes look terrible. and the targeting reticle is off center when locked on. i doubt this can be fixed tbh.

No one does. Not Capcom, not Sega. Seems like only racing games properly support it.

SEGA does support Ultrawide in all Yakuza games and it's a fairly good one, i don't know why they don't care about it in their other games

Yeah I was just playing a bunch of Judgement & Lost Judgement (same developer as Yakuza for those who don't know, also published by SEGA). It supports ultrawide & unlimited FPS from the start. Its clear that SEGA doesn't prevent ultrawide or high FPS by policy as a publisher, its on Sonic Team to resolve this in the future.

I would almost be tempted to give them a pass if it weren't so clear this could have easily been done. Maybe it can run at high FPS & ultrawide, but crashes due to engine instability. Still on them. Maybe it needed more time in the oven.

Thanks for this guide king

Does it actually work, OP?

Yup, it even has a FOV slider which is kinda rare in 3rd person games and even rarer in japanese console ports, i applaud whoever ported the games to PC because they did a fine job in options.

Yes, I followed the guide and now playing with my ultrawide monitor. In cutscenes you still get black bars, but in all gameplay it looks amazing.
