21/9 3440*1440 Support?

[Arown ☭]

So everything is in the title, will we be able to play it in 21/9? (2560*1080 and 3440*1440)
I will buy the game but I want to play it on local coop and I have a 21/9 screen, so it would be perfect to be able to trully play it fullscreen.

Hello Arown,

Helldivers does work in those aspects but we have to limit the viewable area between 5/4 and 16/9, since otherwise it interferes with the levels. :)

What do you mean by "since otherwise it interferes with the levels" ? Are you trying to say that in 21/9 we will see area without textures?

It would definitely interfere with the gameplay if one player could see further than the rest. For all I know enemy patrols might spawn just outside the viewable area of the 16:9 players, as that would be the format the gameplay is designed around.

What I meant was players would be able to see outside maps etc.

[Arown ☭]

Yeah but it would still be better to see some time outside of the maps and the rest of the time to have a fullscreen than to have a 21/9 screen always limited in 16/9 by black bars. Please let us decide in an option the ratio we want to play.

Please and if you add it, I will send you a cosmic poney to destroy every bugs of the universe :)

It just wouldnt make sense to draw out on that aspect ratio. Im all for having options and supporting as many things as possible to make the most of what a PC can do, but in this case, the game is very much built with a set camera range and viewing beyond what others can see would be game breaking.

Perhaps they could use the space for UI?

[Arown ☭]

"viewing beyond what others can see would be game breaking." Yeah so because some are still playing in 4/3 we should all play in 4/3 because it would be game breaking... In a PVP game I would totally understand, even if in LoL and Dota 2 you can easily play in 21/9, but in an COOP game it doesn't really make sense.

No buy until you support 21:9 resolution. And if you design a game around aspect ratio then you failed at your Job. Makeing ♥♥♥♥ for Consoles, porting it to PC and giving no f*ck about support for higher resolutions and so on. All about the Money, eh?

Buy it Zargkhon. No 21:9 is about balance, not about consoles. The 4 players share the camera, what I see, you see. Now if you were always at the edge of the screen shooting at things before I saw them, I would kick you out. Sorry, majority rules. 16:9 for all. Diablo had the same issue. I No 21:9 support to keep game fair for all players.

Balance when we are talking a PVE game is non sense.

If its a PVP Game then yes, but on the other Hand it is your own fault for using old Hardware. 21:9 is a bettter gaming experiance and it is just plain SAD if Games from the 90s support the resolution and aspect ration BUT games from 2015 do not.
If you design games that way you failed at your Job. Plain simple.

They already said it would support 21:9, but the field of view wouldn't be larger than 16:9. So what's the problem?

Diablo 3 work in 21:9.
95% of games have 21:9 support, even games released 10 years ago.
The other formats are very common and 21: 9 is becoming increasingly common.
There is no excuse that a game does not support it today, apart from that developers do not want to do effort.

For me now it's simple. My resolution is not supported? I do not buy. That's all.

They did an effort, they added damn black bars to constraint us on 16/9 ... Like in magicka 2 whereas the first one supported 21/9 perfectly ...

21:9 works perfectly with 95% of my games. Instant refund if it's not supported.
