Ultrawide Easy Fix

[agentsmith374]

For anyone struggling with getting UltraWide support in this game I stumbled across an easy fix via Reddit.

Install the program found here https://www.flawlesswidescreen.org/#Download

After initial install make sure to download the FF7R plugin.

Its real easy and now I can run FF7R natively on my 21:9 3440 x 1440p without having to mess with INI files etc..

Hope this helps someone.

This worked for me in 5120x1440, 32:9 on a Samsung Odyssey G9 49" ultrawide. Once I installed flawlesswidescreen (very easy), and installed the FF 7 remake plugin (done within the app), all I had to do was leave the default options set for the game in the flawlesswidescreen app, load the game, and go to graphics options in-game to select the now available 5120x1440 resolution setting - The game seems to be fine and the map displays normally. I'll update my reply if I run into issues with anything. Thanks!

*Update1: the map system does have some artifacts in it that get overlaid on top of the map. It doesn't make the map unusable, but they are there. Not the end of the world.

Have you been having issues with that Odyssey model? I have the Odyssey 34" and it intermittently has issues waking up.

I think this is generally a problem with how ultrawide is implemented in some games. I haven't tried this but I know there are some other games that just zoom in and cut off the top and bottom to fit the the widescreen.

Yeah, This aint the only game I have had this issue, haven't seen a fix for any of those either. debating on whether I should keep it this way or switch back to 2560x1440 cuz the cinematic here are gorgeous.

The game is called "FF VII Remake" in flawlesswidescreen

I had trouble finding it because of its name

For anyone having issues with the map still, here is the fix in 3440x1440 resolution (manually set with override in cofigurations since it won't read my AMD card as anything other than 640x480.)

Open your game with steam, open flawless widescreen which will set you to 3440x1440 (replacing the 4k resolution in game).

In-game set your resolution to 2560x1440, then uncheckmark "Fix Enabled" in flawless widescreen. Your map should look normal now. Exit off the map screen in-game, enable the fix in flawless widescreen, and then set your resolutionn back to 3440x1440. There will be minor artifacts still, but not nearly as horrible as there are without doing this.

Please add Ultrawide (21:9) support!

Square Enix, the game is incredible, but it’s such a pity that it doesn’t support ultrawide (21:9) natively. I’m using Flawless Widescreen as a workaround, but it’s not perfect. Native support would truly make the experience even better for ultrawide users.

Thank you!

I second this. Also an uncapped frame rate.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me and the artifacts are intrusive enough that it makes it hard to use the map, what a bummer that native ultrawide support isn't here - the game looks quite good too.

I'm in the same boat, but I guess I'll just deal with it. Ultrawide is pretty amazing when supported right in these types of games. Dark Souls Remastered also generally supports 32:9 in game aside from having half the menu wrecked on the right fourth of the screen. Usable enough and I'll put up with it just because of how much I enjoy the crazy FOV.
