Ultrawide UNSUPPORTED

[Gigabyte]

Max resolution in 3840x1080! Game has a very questionable performance as well. Average 72 fps in benchmark with 5800x3d and 4090 at max settings? LOL

I was able to play at 3440x1440p straight out of the box. I was even surprised to see that most of the cutscenes weren't pillarboxed as well.

My display is 3840x1600 and that is supported right out the box.

My resolution of 5120x1440 is not supported.

I remember when I had a Quad UWHD monitor.

What a pain.

There's a reason I didn't get another one and probably the same reason you should look at maybe getting a monitor that has normal dimensions for your next gaming monitor.

Hint: "gaming".

I am using 5120x1440 as well (via ini file), RTX 4090, 120 fps

It's good for work tho. I'm not going to leave a negative review but it does make my game's resolution fuzzy.

Ahh, work/play computer. Makes sense then.

My bad.



Carry on, soldier.

Ah, so you're using a super ultrawide. I used to have a G9, and it was one of the reasons I sold it. Great piece of hardware for production and editing, but not many games are natively supported at 32:9.

Correct. I did change the resolution via ini found here: AppData\Local\Homeworld3\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

So if anyone has this issue it can be fixed

[WarPaws]

Nice, I'm glad you found a fix! Enjoy the game

I also have a G9 I don't think I would be happy with any other monitor. Once you play @ 32:9 it ruins it for smaller resolutions. I can't believe how many new games that drop the ball on ultrawide support.

[poppindancers]

I wonder it will ever be supported if I'm being honest.

That's fair. I had mine for around almost a year, and once the novelty wore off, it became hard to use for me in most games due to the FOV. Too close, and it felt incredibly cropped, while to far and it introduced fish-eye distortion. Finding the sweet spot in games took a lot of work, and for some games, there just was no sweet spot.

RTS games were great, though. So was my production and editing work. I'd definitely get a G9 again for a work only set up.

I moved to a 21:9 G8 OLED for gaming, and I haven't looked back since.

lol, in just about every game i play i see this complaint.

unlucky!
