Overview
Resident Evil 7 does not support ultrawide natively; the game runs in a 16:9 anamorphic/pillarboxed mode with black bars at wider aspect ratios and no engine-level 21:9 or 32:9 support. PCGamingWiki lists ultrawide as only 'hackable' via the comprehensive Kamiccolo community fix, and REFramework (the same mod framework used across Capcom's RE Engine titles) is the maintained option for forcing the aspect ratio and FOV. The Flawless Widescreen public repo XML only lists RE7 as a 'placeholder fix' (added 2022-05-02, no listed update since), so I am NOT marking Flawless Widescreen as a working recommended option — could not confirm it is functional/maintained beyond a placeholder entry.

Patch history & verification
Initial verificationSep 22, 2026
Confirmed via PCGamingWiki that native ultrawide is unsupported (16:9 anamorphic/pillarboxed) and that REFramework and CivilWolf's aspect ratio patcher are the community fixes; confirmed via fws_repo.xml that Flawless Widescreen's RE7 entry is only a 'placeholder fix' from 2022-05-02 with no further updates, so it is marked not-supported rather than recommended for this game. Could not confirm current HUD/cutscene behavior under REFramework beyond PCGamingWiki's description; treat centered_hud as mod-dependent.
