ultrawide and super ultra Wide 21:9 anmd 32:9 - alot of zoom

[MDK_pt]

the ultrawide and super ultra wide are not correct they are super zoomed in the Y factor needs to be matched to that aspect ratio, please fix this

[YME]

yep again unreal engine 5 broke this a long time ago for many games; this will sadly never officially be fixed by them

tell you what I will screen shot soon; but you test this out set your game to 16:9 and make sure an object is on the top of the screen, then switch to 21:9 and see if that object is gone, it will appear less zoomed in for you; but in 32:9 it is extremely zoomed in

Try this: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\GameSettings\AppliedSettings.cfg

Scroll down and edit the "FieldOfView = 110" and make it 130 or higher and leave the aspect ratio in-game to AUTO.
You can set i.e. FOV to 140 and set the file to read only to play at 5120x1440 32:9.

yah i plan to but technically that isnt a true fix; we are missing acutal correct aspect ratio fov, you are just increasing vertical fov sadly

both are same fov of 90 but difference of 16:9 2560x1440 and 32:9 5120x1440, just like most new unreal engine games including squad they ruined the aspect ratio fov setting by enforcing vertical fov only and not horizontal fov, we are now left on 32:9 and 21:9 with a zoomed in version of 16:9 fov

pay attention to the sides of the image; they are the same when it comes horizontal; so what this and many new unreal engine games are doing is giving you a literally 16:9 aspect ratio and they making your ultrawide aspect ratio be viewable within 16:9 looking zoomed in but in reality its fitting 32:9 into 16:9 and calling it ultrawide

Ah that, Well I'm on 21:9 and the UI isn't much a bother its not stretched out or anything for me. Besides the bottom left and right being more centered, but not a lot.

its not a ui issue; its that unreal engine 5 recent past updates stopped supporting horizontal fov which basically broke all ultrawide. I even had a guide on my steam profile for squad users; but that was broken too now. sadly all that can be done is just wait for a mod to actually fix this; because the way people are asking for higher fov isnt the solution here because its just a higher fov for vertical it makes things look more fisheye than correct horizontal fov

It is a developer problem, not engine problem. You can setup the camera view as a developer.

Again I'm honestly not seeing it. So this is still a bit confusing lol

The two screenshots they linked - both of them the crosshair is pointing at the exact same location.

UE5 by default does not have the correct vertical FOV scaling by aspect ratio, so playing Ultrawide is essentially taking the 16:9 screen and just zooming into it (notice how the 32:9 screenshot you can't see the opening in the ceiling anymore).

This issue is fixed with UE5.3, but Stalker 2 uses UE5.1 where the developers have to manually toggle one simple setting, but alas...

Eh, I guess. For 21:9 I don't see anything off putting.

I do know when I had 32:9... HECTIC it's why I ditched it lol. I had the CRG9 for a month and loved it but hated how games were with it often..

Should be good for any future title that starts with UE5.3!
