Overview

21:9 resolutions remove the 'cinematic' letterboxing that appears on the base 16:9 image, per a PCGamingWiki editor test with custom resolutions (2560x1080, 3840x2160, 5760x1080), but 32:9 is pillarboxed down to 21:9 rather than filling the full screen. A community FWS plugin exists to address FOV/pillarboxing but is only hosted via Google Drive, so its safety could not be independently confirmed.

Patch history & verification

Current Steam buildSep 23, 2026
Verified via PCGamingWiki wikitext (ultrawidescreen=true for 21:9 with a named editor test citation, 32:9 pillarboxed to 21:9). Could not find a second independent source beyond PCGamingWiki for this specific title (no dedicated Reddit/WSGF thread found in this session), so confidence is slightly lower than House of Ashes' sibling title Man of Medan; rated partial/fix-required conservatively and online_fix_safety left unknown.
