Overview
Worth correcting a common assumption here: out of the box, RE4 uses Vert- scaling at 32:9 (cropping the view rather than widening it) and cutscenes pillarbox to 16:9, per PCGamingWiki. REFramework — praydog's general RE Engine mod loader — has a built-in ultrawide fix that corrects both, plus a separate patch for HUD marker shifting and inventory zoom.

Working with fix
Vanilla feels cropped at 32:9. REFramework's ultrawide fix makes a real difference.

Playable stock, but cutscenes are pillarboxed the whole way through.
