Just e-mail Bamco your feedback. I did and got a nice response:
"Hello Kakaova,

Thank you for getting in touch with us. We are reaching out regarding the widescreen inquiry in Elden Ring.

At the moment, ultrawide resolutions are not officially supported. If you set the game to any ultrawide resolution, you will experience black bars on either side.

As many players have contacted us about the ultrawide support, we have forwarded the feedback to the developer's team. Hopefully, this feature might be added in future, but we cannot estimate a due date.

I appreciate your understanding, and if you require further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our team remains at your disposal.

Kind regards, "

Just buy a second 16:9 monitor and play the game on that.

Why would you need a second monitor to play 16:9? You can play 16:9 on a UW monitor just fine.

This is the way. Sustained, direct contact will see this change made.

Multiple threads on a forum From doesn't read will not.

Thanks for being part of the solution.

Apparently all the Ultrawide monitor fans disagree, otherwise they would be playing games on their fancy 21:9 instead of whining on forums.

Everything behind the black bars is being to 100% rendered by your GPU, black bars are a postprocessing effect. Sometimes they even bug out and show you the full screen.

To play in UW you will need "Flawless Widescreen" and some additional small tweaks. Drawback is that you can only play offline that way.
Im playing with Flawless Widescreen and you can choose from any of the Ultrawidescreen resolutions, works absolutely fine. But yes, only offline.

Best that you google "Elden Ring Flawless Widescreen Guide". It will take about 3 minutes to set everything up.
* some guides still say something about creating a text document at the end - you do not need to do that *

Indeed you should be using one, just make sure it is 16:9 as you will get horizontal black bars in 4:3.

We had a 7k+ comment thread about this, and it was shut down because trolls kept pressing the same flamebaits. I think ER forum mods are also tired of the topic and the same argument, they just close down UW threads.

My conclusion is that, Fromsoftware has no interest in doing good PC port, and they actively work against anything beyond console technology.

I think they just should explain why everything behind the black bars is being rendered by the CPU/GPU, yet not visible to the player.
And why does it take about 3 minutes to fix it with mods. And "officially" they do not support it.

Its such a sad joke. UW screen format was added by the modders in the first half day of ER release, fyi.

They still stand on the position that they do not support it. One year later. Makes you think.

Speaking as someone playing on a 75" TV, screen size is not aspect ratio.

80 inch tvs are 16:9, not 21:9

you shouldn't even be using ultrawide monitors if you have no concept of how aspect ratios work

If you're not playing on a CRT in 640x480, you're not really playing a soulslike game properly. Might as well just use cheat codes.
