Overview
Hell Let Loose runs at ultrawide resolutions but uses Vert- scaling, so it crops the top and bottom of the image and looks zoomed in. There is an FOV slider (90-120) and an X/Y axis FOV option, but players report that the Y option only adds fisheye distortion. The practical workaround is to play at 16:9 with bars at the sides.

Fixes
No known fix yet.
No ultrawide fix exists, and modding this online game protected by anti-cheat is unsafe. Play at 16:9 or raise the FOV slider.
Patch history & verification
Update 21Sep 23, 2026
Verified via PCGamingWiki (ultrawide limited, Vert-) and two Steam community threads that describe the cropping and the 16:9 workaround. It was not confirmed whether Update 21 changed the scaling. No WSGF page (404) or Flawless Widescreen module was found.
