Ultrawide support?

[Mofalon]

Hey guys,

The game looks amazing and I'm eager to play it, however, do we know if the game will support ultrawide aspect ratios (21:9 and 32:9) natively?

For me, this is super important, and will influence my decision on whether or not to purchase the game at launch.

Almost certain that 21:9 has been confirmed at least, just like it was shown there : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9avKD9rC318

I have a 32:9 screen and it works on SoC so I assumed it will. I have a feeling I have seen a post here from the Developer Prophet that confirmed it, I could be wrong though...

Thanks for sharing that video, dude.

Although the video is displayed in 21:9, the video is from 2020, so it might not mean anything or things could have changed :/

I know devs check the forums every once in a while, so if one of you guys could confirm this, that'd be great.

Same here, dude. I'm looking online to see if I can find any kind of confirmation on this, but nothing yet.

Yes, I mean I'm pretty sure I saw a GSC dev confirming that ratio, probably on Discord, but I can't find exactly where :)

Well, found back the message, now confirming, 21:9 and 32:9 will be in the game as well.

Great!
Was that from another source than Steam forum?

Stalker 2 Official Discord indeed, channel #gsc-answer, you can see with a "21:9" search :)

This is a question on my part, not intended to hijack the thread, but wouldn't this kind of support be native to Unreal Engine 5?

Edit: From my limited google searches it turns out it isn't. Devs are required to implement it themselves. Go figure.

[Iamlegend]

Fair question but no idea at all !

Just got an 21:9 oled, so that's great news for me! Thanks for the info

Ooof, to be honest, I'm not sure. I played the new Robocop game and it has 32:9 support, but the image is squashed vertically to create an UW image, so even with the FOV maxed out, it looks "zoomed in" and your guns are barely visible.

[JefferyNothing]

I'd imagine so but it will most likely be vert- cropped in some way like most Unreal engine games. Annoyingly.

I hope that's not the case but it probably will be.

UE5 by default has ultra wide support.

About 2 years ago it was pretty bad and would cause graphical glitches. However it's been patched since the 5.2 patch released with its "Temporal Super Resolution"

But the UI might be funky depending if they locked it to a specific scale or not (causing most cropping issues)

I'd say it would support ultra wide resolutions just fine, specially with what others have found here \m/
