Curious about this as well, is 3440x1440 supported properly?

No, the game was vertical minus on 2560x1080. Barely anything got cut though. But no official support, unless they patch it later (fingers crossed).

Come one seems a nice game, this really need UW support

What, what does that mean with vertical minus?

I think he means instead of a proper wider image on ultrawide (where you actually see more of the game) it's zoomed in and therefore cuts of some of the image at the top and the bottom.

Oh so in this game selecting wide screen resolution would zoom and crop the image? That's unacceptable!

Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for your feedback and suggestions, we'll pass them on to the team and will keep you informed.

I checked ultrawide 3440x1440 resolution. The game is pillarboxed (black borders left and right). So, no ultrawide support for me.

So, no support yet???

Hello, that would be great, I loved the demo, I'm just waiting for ultrawide native support to buy it.
I looked for a mod but couldn't find anything.

I tried editing both .exe with an editor and change the usual values but the black bars are still there sadly.

I‘m also still waiting for UW support.

you don't need it and also will never come.

Why you don't need it? Because most scenes are platform 2D with interactive elements and having ultrawide might give more elements on the side but not really possible to "use" them and probably also immersion breaking (since some items / NPC on the extra sides might not move properly or not appear properly between scenes).

Just my opinion...

I am an avid ultrawide user since 2014 but American Arcadia felt totally fine with black bars on the sides. The game is very nice don't skip it just because it doesn't support UW.

It's a different story for OLED display user like me though, I have absolute need to minimize black bars.

I have found a solution but still prefer native UW support.

I am also on OLED and OLED makes it so much bearable to have black bars because they are pure black and not a greyish annoying thing on the sides...probably American Arcadia was one of the three games I played despite black bars in the last ten years.
