Overview

Guild Wars 2 supports ultrawide resolutions but uses Vert- scaling in the character select/creation screens, which crops or clips character models at 21:9 and worse at 32:9, confirmed by both PCGamingWiki and official GW2 forum bug reports. Flawless Widescreen has a dedicated GW2 module (confirmed present in the current FWS public repo) that AMD users in particular are advised to use; online safety of client-side display fixes is treated as unknown since ArenaNet has not published an official stance on this specific tool.
