Overview
The unpatched game does not handle ultrawide properly (PCGamingWiki: hackable; WSGF ultrawide award: limited). V-Patch removes black bars at any resolution and adds UI scaling and FOV correction for ultrawide while keeping cutscenes intact. Flawless Widescreen also has a module.

Patch history & verification
Current Steam build (number not confirmed)Sep 28, 2026
Verified via PCGamingWiki, V-Patch README (latest release v2.0) and FWS repo (module 'L.A. Noire' present). Vanilla behavior (black bars/aspect lock) is inferred from V-Patch's description - lower confidence on exact vanilla field values; cutscene framing with the patch is not clearly documented.
