Overview
On a 32:9 panel, New Vegas needs manual FalloutPrefs.ini edits just to stop the image being squeezed, since the launcher won't let you pick anything beyond 16:9. Once configured it plays hor+ correctly, but menus, the pause screen, and loading transitions were all built for 16:9 and need separate community mods to stop looking stretched or broken.

Ini edit plus Ultrawide Black Box Fix (NVSE) needed to stop the loading-screen black rectangle.
