21:9 Aspect Ratio PC Games info

Dead Rising 3 needs the following mod to support 21:9

Not my solution someone from Steam Forums

http://steamcommunity.com/app/265550/discussions/0/613935404026325793/

Open the File "viewport.txt" in your Installed Folder "Steam\SteamApps\common\Dead Rising 3\data\datafile\" and put this into Viewport.txt:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

cViewportShape MainView_16x9
{
X = "0"
Y = "0"
Width = "1"
Height = "1"
Aspect="1.777777778"
}

cViewportShape MainView_21x9
{
X = "0"
Y = "0"
Width = "1"
Height = "1"
Aspect="2.383333333"
}

cViewportShape MainView_16x10
{
X = "0"
Y = "0"
Width = "1"
Height = "1"
Aspect="1.600000000"
}

cViewportShape MainView_4x3
{
X = "0"
Y = "0"
Width = "1"
Height = "1"
Aspect="1.333333333"
}

I REALLY want a 21:9 34" monitor to replace my current dual (24" and 20") monitor setup but the variety of issues have of put me off so far. I'm hoping it becomes more popular and devs start supporting it properly though as I think it's a fantastic format for both gaming and productivity.

I wouldn't let that put you off. Iv yet to really have any trouble with that aspect ratio in any games but skyrim and dead rising and both were fixed in a couple of minutes with a few tweaks.

ive got hundreds of games the only game that ****s up is dota2 & starcraft 2 (they call it cheating)
dota
so the minimap doesnt work properly... but everything else does
starcraft2
i believe still does not allow you to choose the resolution

Any chance someone could try Men of war assault squad 2 on 21:9

I think I will take the plunge at some point as I'm fed up using dual screens and would much prefer a single larger monitor.

I held on to an eyefinity setup for years in the vain hope games would start supporting it. I don't mean as a native resolution, I mean without the gawd awful fish eye effect.

It never happened.

Just been trying this program, seems nice!

However, any risk of getting banned from MP games for using this? edit: Guy says it could be seen as a hack so won't use it for any MP games.

edit:

wow, tried it out in FC3, I thought default FC 3 looked good enough but with this program, DAMN! :cool:

Yep its possible to get banned if it uses VAC or Punkbuster as most of the mods use memory hacks so are picked up as cheating aids & Activision consider using mods on COD to correct 21:9 FOV an unfair advantage :rolleyes:

Update on Dead Rising 3.

Even when you mod to 21:9 some of the ingame FX like screen turning red when your close to death or the vehicle your in is almost destroyed only fill the 16:9 shape area in the center of the screen they do not scale to 21:9 even though the game looks fine @ 21:9.

The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter has forced 16:9 aspect ratios use flawlesswidescreen latest plugin for Ethan Carter to fix to 21:9 which makes a huge difference as atmosphere is everything in this good looking game

What about Sine Mora? Anyone tried this on a 21:9 monitor? It defaults to a 2.35:1 resolution on any screen but does this carry over to full screen?

Alien Isolation has ingame native 21:9 all cutscenes rendered in the game engine though are forced 16:9 for now until somone mods it if its possible!

Anyone know if the original Borderlands supports 2560x1080?

I'm playing it just now and have a new monitor arriving tomorrow.

I've had a look online, but can't seem to find anything?

Thanks!

nashathedog · 17 Oct 2014 at 12:13

I'm thinking about getting the 2560 x 1080 rather than the 3440 x 1440 model at some point so this is a useful thread, thank's for making it.

AWPC · 17 Oct 2014 at 15:34

The Evil Within- needs Flawless Widescreen to have 21:9 support otherwise its fixed 16:9 & large black letterboxes. With flawless widescreen plugin it looks great IMO!

I guess so, 2 and pre sequel had native support for 21:9 so i would assume so.

I can't seem to get BF4 to work in 3440x1440. It just zooms in to one corner & I can't see a thing.

What am I doing ?

This is a screenie from my supposed 3440x1440 game...

Thats actual size btw. The screenshot came out at 1280x720
