Overview
Gameplay is Hor+ at 21:9 with FOV 60-120 horizontal, but cutscenes are pillarboxed to 16:9 and FOV is locked to 60 at multi-monitor resolutions and on ladders. RoseTheFlower's fix (v1.2) raises the FOV limit, removes the 21:9+ FOV restrictions and removes cutscene black bars; the author tested it at 2560x1080 and 5760x1080. HUD placement is unconfirmed.
