Overview

Gameplay and menus scale Hor+ at 21:9 and 32:9, but conversations and cutscenes are pillarboxed to 16:9, and FOV is capped at 75 degrees. The Flawless Widescreen module for Mass Effect 1/2/3 (Legendary) removes the pillarboxing and can change FOV, according to PCGamingWiki. The module dates from May 2021 (6 releases), so it is stable rather than actively updated; the game has no multiplayer that anti-cheat would affect.
