Overview
Gameplay is Hor+ at 21:9 but cutscenes are pillarboxed to 16:9; at 32:9 the view is Vert- (zoomed in) by default. PCGamingWiki and WSGF point to REFramework's ultrawide/aspect-ratio option as the fix; it is actively updated. Older WSGF advice used an exe hex edit plus a helifax fix, which we did not re-verify.

PCGamingWiki: Hor+ with pillarboxed cutscenes at 21:9, Vert- at 32:9, use REFramework. WSGF says similar and reports 32:9 cutscenes zoom in even when pillarboxed. REFramework README lists 'Ultrawide/Aspect Ratio fixes (All games)'; repo last pushed 2026-09-16, latest tagged release v1.5.9.1 (2025-03-05) includes RE2 zips. Could not confirm that it removes cutscene black bars specifically, so cutscene_support stays pillarboxed.
