Overview
Gameplay works on ultrawide but cutscenes are pillarboxed to 16:9. Lyall's DeadIsland2Fix (ASI loader) removes the cutscene pillarboxing/letterboxing and lifts the limit on HUD resizing, which helps at wider than 21:9. Latest fix release is 1.0.3 from April 2024; I could not confirm exact 32:9 behavior or FOV details beyond PCGamingWiki's note that FOV is 70-100 in-game. Menus assumed 16:9-contained (not confirmed).
