Planet Coaster

Planet Coaster is a construction and management simulation video game developed and published by Frontier Developments for Microsoft Windows. It was a sequel to the RollerCoaster Tycoon series, released worldwide on 17 November 2016. Frontier had previously worked in the amusement park construction and management genre with RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 (to which Planet Coaster is a spiritual successor), Thrillville, Thrillville: Off the Rails, and Zoo Tycoon. A version for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, known as Planet Coaster: Console Edition, is scheduled for release in Summer 2020.

There are three different modes in the game, namely Sandbox, Challenge, and Career. In the career mode, players assume the role of a theme park manager and must complete tasks such as constructing unfinished roller coasters or hiring janitors. In Sandbox mode, players are tasked to construct their own theme park on an empty plot of land. The challenge mode is similar to the sandbox mode, but with added difficulty, as players need to take funds into account.

Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

No issues noted.

Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues

In 21:9 aspect ratio, FOV stretch around the edges is detectible but largely ignorable.

In 32:9 aspect ratio, FOV stretch around the edges is strong and difficult to ignore. Some users may become nauseous when rotating the camera and especially when viewing coaster rider's view.

FOV is not adjustable, neither in-game or by any known hack, except by enabling free camera mode using the "tegidcam" cheat.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

In 3x1-L layout, the FOV stretch around the edges is extremely strong and distracting. Some users may become nauseous when rotating the camera and especially when viewing coaster rider's view.

FOV is not adjustable, neither in-game or by any known hack, except by enabling free camera mode using the "tegidcam" cheat.

4k UHD Specific Solution & Issues
