Can you ADD black bars on the side of the screen for Ultra Wide?

[RasberryMocha]

I have a 3440x1440 monitor but I don't want the game looking so stretched out; and there are some game play hiccups when the screen is stretched as well. Is there a way to "force" the game to display a standard 16:9 image with the black bars on the side? Either in 1440 or 1080?

you don't have to if you'd prefer a proper aspect ratio fullscreen experience, there are plenty of guides to getting 21:9 looking like it should, no distortions, check out lStewieAl's Tweaks and Engine Fixes[www.nexusmods.com]

I've seen some of the solutions to play the game at 21:9 and I can do that, but the game looks bad. Everything looks zoomed in and stretched, is there a fix in Stewies Tweaks for that issue?

In the start menu there is a choice of aspect ratio. My monitor is 21:9. and i have it set at 16:9. It looks good, not stretched out, like it was when i tried 21:9.

I only see 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 options in the launcher, and I've tried the resolutions at 16:9 but they didn't fix my issue unfortunately.

yes that's the way, you set 16:9 to a resolution that the vert is 1440, then edit the width manually editing the .ini and off you go, full screen, and cubes are square, circles are round not oval, etc. Stewie's just helps by fixing up all kinds of little things like cutscenes and scopes etc so you don't have to use lots of little ultrawide fixes, is all...

just go into the screenshots section and look at people who post ultrawide shots, if that's what you want, that's easily achievable:

edit: "zoomed"... aha! don't forget to increase your FoV! try 95 as a start.

Thank you so much, you got it figured out for me! I found that I had to set my Mod Organizer 2 specific .ini to the resolution as well, instead of the default .ini. Thank you again.
