Overview
PCGamingWiki lists ultrawide as 'hackable': at ultrawide resolutions the game has oversized lens flares, exaggerated depth of field, mis-scaled overlays and misplaced sonar markers. Lyall's MGSVFix (v0.0.3) unlocks resolutions and fixes those HUD and effect problems, though some lens-dirt effects stay 16:9.
