Ultrawide 32:9 big fail (5120x1440)

[Shaldoryn]

I choose the options of my screen, 32:9 and 5120x1440, and apparently I need to specify cinema too.
what the game really sets is only a 21:9 I guess.. not full screen.
This is the last game I expected to have issues with this format, so I'll leave a negative comment until this will be fixed... if not fast enough, I'll ask my money back.
Because there is another reason, the moment I have to grab an arrow on a tree in the starting forest, the game crashes......
I can't even reach cut scenes and see how zoomed they are (following other comments), lacking of FOV I guess.

Really unplayable on 32:9, this is so sad from a AAA in like 2025.

I can't tell if this is a troll or not, I don't even think 32:9 resolutions make up more than 1% of all gamers if you go by the steam hardware survey, so I don't think 32:9 support is particularly high on the list for most devs unfortunately.

yeah, just buy a real screen and your non-problem is solved. The hint was free of charge. You called it yourself in the title: you made a big fail here.

First of all, most if not all modern games now support 32x9 out of the box. If they don't, it's almost always sorted with a mod or tweak of some sort. Secondly, OP does not know what they are talking about. I run the game full screen native 7680x2160 32x9 without any issues apart from -vert in some cutscenes. If their game is only running at 21:9 then they have it set up incorrectly.

What is your "set up" then?
I choose their ingame options, 5120 res, 32:9 format, and then if not "cinema" option, it's in 16/9, when with it it's in 21/9. Dude, I can't invent myself other ingame options. Ain't working for me, for some reason.
I know what I'm talking about, been a few years I'm on that very same screen, I just don't accept anymore from AAA's to fail in supporting correctly 32:9 in 2025.

Screen Setup.
Display Mode: Borderless Windowed.
Monitor: 1
Aspect Ratio: 32:9 [Native]
Resolution: 5120 x 1440 [Native]
Picture Framing: Fullscreen.

but hey at least you it needs resources like a 8k title

[Fixeroh]

I'm running 5120 x 1400 as well with a 4090 on my Samsung G9. Settings the same as Zen Shot except my display mode is Fullscreen. My only issue is the aspect ratio of the cutscenes. Finding others on web with the same issue. I would be OK with letterbox 16:9 cutscenes if necessary as I've seen with other titles but that isn't happening here. See the devs patched a host of things on day 1 so hoping for cutscene res patch soon.

So, I can get this more or less fine on my G9, but I noticed while toggling settings that it's actually doing a bit of stretching. I had a character in view in the background while changing it and could notice them go distinctly wider when set like that, especially with the normal fish eye stretch that I always see on the sides of the screen. This combined with the cut-scene issues means I'm in 16:9 for now.

I was also getting Blonde Indy in cut-scenes with Path Tracing on lol, so hopefully we get some more patches soon.

And hey, it's better than that crap Flintlock game which had it so screwed up and zoomed that you were only staring at your character's back. I had to refund that one, even forcing aspect ratios in Windows itself didn't fix that one lol it just ignored it.

We are more ppl than you think.

I’m on the G9 too with the full screen settings and native 5120, but it still shows as 16-9 only z cinematic goes to 21-9 but can’t fill screen atm. Not sure what’s wrong

[Robotorizer]

Works fine for me, in video settings choose Borderless window>aspect 32:9 Native, Res 5120x1440 Native, and all good.
But they should make some mods and updates because Im on 30FPS in Ultra with Full Retrace. 52FPS in DLSS. But I have 13900/4090rtx/64GBDDR5/3GBs.SSD.
Their ads are all about retracing, If I cant run it at 60fps who can?
All the other crying folks should just go and buy a 5120, cos their mum have one.

[noldor]

same issue here. 7900xtx with samsung odyssee g9, 49".
game shows options for 32:9 + 5120x1440 [Native], but still runs in 16:9, no matter what.

Ridiculously and cluelessly wrong. As someone who's been playing in super-ultrawide before they even existed with multi-monitor setups, that is still wrong, most games now still do not support 32:9 out of the box, it is a huge and stupid problem. There is no excuse, because random people can fix it usually within a day or two, so why can't the damn developers just include it? It would take them hours at most.

It's full Raytracing, that is exactly the expected performance in the multiple games I've played that way at that res with a 4090. You want better don't use full raytracing, don't use super-ultrawide (the ads are for regular 16:9) or see if the 5090 is a big jump in Raytracing performance next year.

Oh I think they’re serious.

See about 2-3 almost every new game.

My best leading theory is it’s a factor of sunken cost fallacy but in hardware form for a change.

I’d mean, if I got swindled by clever marketing and/or a sales rep into buying a subpar, archaic(these kinda displays aren’t new thing just never really took off years ago versus 16:9/normal widescreen) display device that not only has an inferior screen space to anything else for same price in 4k realm AND lacks first party support for vast majority of games…I’d be wee bit salty too.

Doesn’t justify these typically self entitled smug threads demanding their needs be met or they’ll cry but does at least explain a little as to why anyone would ever buy one and expect anything else than what you get for owning one.
