A 32:9 issue with the map. EDIT: RESOLVED/PATCHED.

[Miz]

EDIT: This has now been patched out. Map works perfectly fine now in 32:9, thank you devs. Leaving the thread for historical purposes as it were.

It's not gamebreaking or anything, and I absolutely adore that this game supports 32:9 aspect ratios straight out of the box. It makes for a fantastic gaming experience and this is barely a complaint, but should be mentioned.

In some tabs like the map, the aspect ratio seems to break the mouse cursor tracking so if I try to mouse over a location to mark it, I have to sort of wiggle it around away from the location until it kind of randomly highlights it.

It's a fairly common issue with this aspect ratio in a lot of games, I've found, where different UI elements shows up in 16:9 aspect ratios but treat interactable elements of it as if the map was stretched to 32:9, so I end up having to guess where the element is.

It's not gamebreaking, as I said, as I can work around it, but it'd be nice to see a patch down the line fixing it.

Yeah, this is the only issue I'm having with the game. Not a huge issue, but pretty annoying, and I would love to have it fixed.

This is a general Ultrawide problem, same as HUD.

is it something you can screenshot? I have a potato PC so I can't see what anybody else is experiencing,

[Miz]

I'm afraid my screenshot options removes the cursor by default so wouldn't work, but basically it just means that whenever you try to hover over or interact with a map element (quest marker, bonfire, whatever) what is displayed doesn't match where the element actually is on-screen.

It's a common enough problem with games on 32:9 aspect ratio monitors. Often the game itself is fine, but certain HUD and UI elements will not quite work as intended. In this particular context, the map screen is shown in 16:9 aspect ratio in the middle of the monitor (which is fine, I don't need an ultrawide map) but the actual interactable elements get stretched to 32:9.

So if I want to fast travel to a bonfire to the left of where I have the map centered, I'll have to move the mouse further -past- that bonfire icon to find the actual interactable element that lets me mark, pathfind or fast travel etc.

So far though, it's the only 32:9 issue I've found which is frankly excellent. Usually there's a lot more in terms of field of view, zoom, warping and fishlensing etc etc, so I'm very happy about how Forbidden West is supporting 32:9 gaming. Even the HUD and such is nicely placed around the center so I don't have to damn near turn my head to see my health or whatever.

This thread was mostly just reporting a final little issue that would be nice to see fixed, but is hardly a dealbreaker. Big kudos to the porters in this regard.

Did you try fullscreen vs exclusive fullscreen vs window mode?

[Crysto]

The same issue is present on 21:9 resolutions, probably just less pronounced. I seem to remember this also being a bug in Zero Dawn. Hope a bug fix can come soon as it's simple but impactful.

[Mickey]

Yep same here on 21:9

Just wanted to post this myself and found your post, +1!

[ED ~]

Same issue on 21:9. Also, is anyone having a problem when they just browsing skill tree and it automatically upgrade when you click one to see the info? like the button you need to hold was getting pinned by itself?

[Joe Pro]

Same on 21:9. Menus / map all have black bars and the HUD in-game isn't in the correct position.

[Jarmer]

Same here on 21:9 - I find it really difficult to use the map. Often I am simply unable to highlight/select what I want, even with the wiggling.

Same here on 21/9
