Cutscenes on Ultrawide monitor
Hi all,

is someone also experiencing playing on a 32:9 screen in fullsize but cinematic cutscenes have black bars on all 4 sides? it seems that cinematics are played in 16:9 - 50% of my screen are black bars, but only in those cinematics.

I am currently using the widescreen fix from Lyall

Lyalls fix doesn't seem to work; I'm using the Xbox version of the game with his Xbox file. It simply does not do anything, nor is the console enabled. It still stay on 3840. 5120 X 1440P can be selected but it reverts right back to 3840.
the fix in general works for me. the normal game is 32:9
However, ingame cutscenes are 21:9 (which is okayish)
What bothers me are cinematic cutscenes - they are very small (see screenshot) and fill only 30% of my screen

This is also happening to me as well and I don't know why.

I have the same problem. It’s annoying. I hope either the devs or the community come with a fix soon. Lyall’s fix doesn’t fix this particular issue unfortunately.’

Yeah it's a shame. Hopefully they'll patch it so that those pre-rendered cutscenes will scale up to 21:9 and match the vertical limits of the monitors that can fit them.
The cuscenes are so good and strong, its so bad that we will see them in 1/4 of the creen :(

the few pre-rendered cutscenes do show up in 1080p box cantered on my 1440p as well. breaks immersion but thankfully less in number, game is too gorgeous for that.
i'm guessing there aren't 4k files of them here in game files (considering file/install size)

I’m playing at 3440x1440 and have the same issue, such an immersion breaking disappointment.

Yes, the game isn't optimized for ultrawide screen at all, very disappointing...

Kinda wish I'd seen this before buying. Never should have gone ultrawide lol. Back to normal monitors after this I think. Or hopefully a VR headset replacing it...

It's not about just this game. I routinely have to find some modder's solution to make ultrawide work in various games.
