PSA - Use Flawless Widescreen For Ultrawide Issues

[Tornadium]

Just tried it myself (Don't believe the plugin was publicly available until a few hours ago), This fixes VERT- FOV Aspect Ratio Scaling, Fixes Mouse Sensitivity between the X/Y Axis, Fixes the weapon view model scaling and removes the black bars from cutscenes.

I don't have any of the issues that the other fixes cause (Needing to reload post cutscene etc) so this appears to be the smoothest way to play at 32:9 right now.

I use Flawless Widescreen for Fallout 4, but never thought about checking if it had updates for Stalker 2. Got the FWS update, enabled the plug-in, and ran the game but it initially looked _worse_ for me than native game settings because I was using FOV 110. Dropped that down to 70 in-game and looks about the same as it did without the FWS plug-in. ::shrug:: Might just be my particular setup. I'll try it for the other tweaks though and see how it goes.

•Triple 24" screens @ 5760 x 1080 w/ Nvidia Surround enabled.

Thanks for the heads up on this!

Download the App then install the Stalker 2 plugin, Just have it selected when you launch the game and it'll automatically load the module.

It's super simple.

Could not find FOVFix injection point, STALKER 2: HoC may have updated to a version that is no longer supported.

Try restarting STALKER 2: HoC or selecting a different version and re-enable the fix.

Anyone any tips?

Cool thanks for the heads up. Wasn't really expecting FWS to have a fix, so wouldn't have known otherwise.

This works too. https://github.com/Lyall/STALKER2Tweak

Does anyone else have trouble using it after the update? I can't enable mine now.

Thanks for this.

/Agreed, it's much nicer with Flawless handling ultrawide.

It doesn't work for me either, cutscene is still boxed on 21:9.

Hard to believe such a janky ultrawide support in almost 2025.

I have Flawless too, The widescreen fix showed up very soon after game's launch, Not sure when but works good. Feels janky in menus for another game Dead Rising 2 Off the record.
