Hi guys, please someone could fix the broken 21:9 on this game? Because when i tried to change resolution to 25060x1080 (tried the EDF 4.1 trick on wsgf and directly in the game) nothing work correctly, it's look streched...
I hope you'll could do something guys, thanks! :TrueWS: :rockout:

Hex editing works for me and the game gets rendered in 3440x1440 but the problem is the UI, menu and loading screen. They all gets cut off the screen from top and bottom.

Same here :( maybe we need to change FOV? but i don't know how to do this... if someone could contact jackfuste each time he's doing an amazing job, the others too but i remenber he worked on the EDF 4.1 fix.

Edit: if you let it in 2560x1080 and disable letterbox the scale is good but its stretched and blurry...

I want to share with @everyone an issue that has beset the WSGF over the last week or so. Google has decided that the files we host (exe files, patchers, etc.) are malware. Thus, they have flagged the entire WSGF as hosting and/or linking malware, which inhibits site access and search rankings.

Both the WSGF and our older media server (WSGF Media dot com) have been flagged. We have found a solution for our hosted files, via our friends at PC Gaming Wiki. However, we still have an issue with the forums linking to the old WSGF Media server.

There is no feasible way to go through the forums and edit the possible thousands of posts that reference the WSGF Media server. And there is absolutely no guarantee that Google won't ping some future post attachment and flag the entire site again.

The forums are much quieter today then they used to be, with just 1 or 2 active posts per day on average, on top of this we continue to have issues with bots or humans creating accounts to post spam. Additionally, the forums have hampered our ability to enable HTTPS and update the site to be more modern and mobile friendly.

The internet itself has also shifted, with sites like Reddit and services like Discord, YouTube and Twitch being where most discussion happens. Given all of the above we are exploring the idea of "archiving" the forums into their own domain so that everything could be read, but no new posts or accounts could be created. We would then direct all new discussion to a Reddit community and/or our Discord server, which we hope will make discussing and working on fixes more practical.

We are really at a crossroads where the forums have gone from being a minor or moderate inhibitor to growth of the WSGF, to now a major roadblock (thanks to Google). We need a road forward, and wanted to reach out to the community to socialize the issue and our ideas, and to get your feedback.

I'd love to hear your feedback in our Discord Server - https://discord.gg/FcVYWgh

MAYBE i found a solution but i need someone to confirm it please, in the EDF 5 folder you have a file named " Chunk01 " open it with hex editing software and replace 398EE33F by 26B41740 (for 2560x1080) or 8EE31840 (for 3440x1440) or 9A991940 (for 3840x1600) (EDF 4.1 fix) and let fullscreen ON and letterbox OFF in ingame displays settings, for me it looks great but i don't remember exactly how it was without this :( that's why i ask to someone to confirm it please let me know thanks.
BTW!!! make a backup of this original file (Chunk01) because its a BIG file (9.8go)! ;)
Sorry for my english :P
BTW (2) fullscreen works great for me.

Yes, sorry to report it does not work for me either. No different than hex-editing the .exe. UI extends well beyond viewable area, therefore unplayable. (triple wide setup)

Thanks for trying.

Will donate for a fix.

did you hex editing EDF5.exe AND Chunk01 ? me i just change the occurence in Chunk file i don't touch the EDF5.exe. Don't edit both just the chunk file because when i tried with the EDF.exe this broke the UI.

i play on a single screen on 2560x1080.
