Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Native "Vert+" support. FOV slider available in Options, Display.

Tech: Unreal Engine 4. Patch #1 (v1.04) added the FOV slider.

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

Native support. Push the FOV cursor ~4 notches to the right for basic Hor+ screen change.

Real-time rendered cutscenes are pillarboxed.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Despite the FOV slider's comfortable range the max FOV in TripleWide is still slightly too low compared to default 16:9. For improved support an .ini edit is required:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Styx2\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini

Add these lines...
[/Script/Engine.LocalPlayer] AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV

Now lower the in-game FOV to about 3 notches above the minimum.
