Overview
Amnesia: The Dark Descent (2010) does not have automatic ultrawide support out of the box. PCGamingWiki documents a manual fix: editing Screen Width/Height in main_settings.cfg and then setting Windows exe compatibility flags (disable fullscreen optimizations, override high-DPI scaling) to get the game rendering correctly at ultrawide resolutions; the options menu UI also doesn't scale properly at higher resolutions. This is treated as fix-required rather than native, with the fix being a safe config/compatibility-setting edit, not a mod or injector.

game.cfg FOV editSeparate manual edit of the vertical FOV value in game.cfg; helps with the narrow default FOV but is a distinct tweak from the resolution fix.

Patch history & verification
current buildSep 23, 2026
Verified via PCGamingWiki that ultrawide requires a manual main_settings.cfg edit plus Windows exe compatibility settings (fullscreen optimization/DPI override), and that the options menu UI does not scale correctly. No evidence found of native automatic ultrawide detection, so rated fix-required rather than native/excellent.
