Fix for ultrawide screen - 5120 x 1440?

[niket67]

Hi!

New to the forum here trying to get advice/help regarding FFXIII-2.

I recently bought FFXIII-2, and followed this helpful guide to get the best possible experience out of this game.

Last challenge/irritation which i haven't been able to figure out is, how to get rid of those pillarboxes on each side of the screen.

I am gaming on a laptop with mobile RTX 3060, and a Samsung Odyssey G9. Trying to get the game to run at 5120x1440, but no matter what resolution i choose, it scales the same once the game launches, think its 720p.

After some googling i found out that this is a reoccurring theme with the FXIII series on PC. I've seen some Hex edit and modded EXE fixes, but haven't found anything specifically for FFXIII-2.

Does anybody have any knowledge of how this can be fixed?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

first i edited it with a hex editor
39 8E E3 3F to the resolution needed ( in your case it should be 39 8E 63 40)
after that i changed the size with Reshade (AspectRatio.fx),
and looks rather decent now ( this also works with Lightning returns btw)

(keep in mind that the game dousnt support ultrawide screens , so some stretching can happen)
