On the /r/ultrawidemasterrace curator, we get many games of the match 3 type. I usually disregard them because I was told not to use the platform to promote games with one- or two-digit player counts. Usually they don't have ultrawide support anyway.
Today I noticed that some of my Steam f...
Before my previous post, I realized that I barely had the hard drive space needed to download games. As you may know, I try to keep all the games I've ever fixed on my hard drives so that I can verify reports of issues and check whether the tools are still compatible after game updates. I think t...

Responding to a request, I was not sure what I would see in the game, given the "hor+" statement next to ultrawide on a certain wiki. The statement was not entirely true.
Although the person who had requested the fix felt that it was an issue with the finisher moves, those scaled properly a...

Here is another case of old research paying off! Back when I spent quite a lot of time on attempting to fix Thronebreaker before I gave up on it to avoid burning out, I had a way to force it to not pillarbox at 21:9 and wider.

Edit: The old fix worked for me all the way through mid spring 2022 or so, but now the game is back to forcefully preventing it from working. There is now an option to switch to 16:9 in the game but it does not affect the menu, so parts of the character may be out of view at 32:9 and wider. I'd s...

The game was released in 2016 and, like other Far Cry games, had its max FOV limited at 21:9 and wider. Surprisingly, even now over 5 years later, PCGW has no notes of this nature and the WSGF report still had it rated gold for 21:9. I slightly updated the report today from "No issues" to "Minor ...

Although the game may default to the user's desktop resolution when it is first launched, it definitely does not allow to select it, so selecting any other resolution will lock you out of selecting a 21:9 and wider resolution. This behavior is probably how a Steam user managed to not see the pill...

When you have a game rated gold on WSGF for widescreen, 21:9, 48:9, and 4K since 2017, and the /r/ultrawidemasterrace curator describing it as having "Native 21:9 support", how do you enhance that in 2021? Apparently, by switching the FOV scaling to 2021-11-17 13:41:35 +0000 UTC View Post
A while back as I ran the Assignments system for PCGamingWiki, we had a user assigned to cover this game, which resulted in a note on its cutscenes being vert- at 21:9.

A day or two ago, someone on the WSGF Discord requested a solution for I Am Fish. When I got to my PC, the message was gone. After installing the game, I could guess why - although the game reduced the FOV at the cutscenes, the gameplay was hor+, as expected from a Unity game.

I've never seen an Unreal Engine 4 game scale like this. The Artful Escape is pillarboxed to about 19:9 - and you'd think it is at least like Diablo 2 Resurrected in its scaling, but no - its field of view is also reduced on top of that. What is the point of both, not one or the other?
