Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Native "Vert+" support (up to 5:4). Select your resolution from the launcher app.

Erratic aspect ratio issues: some users report stretched/squished/off-centered picture at certain resolutions. Cause and solution unknown.
FMVs are 16:9 anamorphic.
Real-time rendered cut-scenes are Vert+ in 16:10, letterboxed in standard resolutions.

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

Native Hor+ support.

HUD is constrained to 16:9.
FMVs are pillarboxed.
Real-time rendered cut-scenes are both pillarboxed and slightly Hor+ !

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Native Hor+ support with a sneaky flaw: in fullscreen mode, bezel compensation stretches the picture.

Fullscreen screen change is perfect from 1x1 to 3x1 e.g 5760x1200 is strictly Hor+ compared to 1920x1200.
Fullscreen bezel compensation only adds stretching e.g 6060x1200 looks like 5760x1200 stretched.
Windowed mode wokrs differently: screen change of the resizable window is always Hor+ (up to 8.9:1). Use Borderless Gaming to fix the aspect ratio of bezel-compensated resolutions.
15:4 behaves similarly to UWS and windowed mode: strictly Hor+ compared to 16:9 (not 5:4).

4k UHD Specific Solution & Issues

Native support.
