Overview
The game handles true 21:9 poorly: WSGF notes it doesn't properly support 2560x1080 or 3440x1440, and parts of the UI such as 'Sauron's Army' get cut off. Flawless Widescreen has a dedicated plugin that fixes this and can center the HUD. WSGF says the game is 'only playable' at ultrawide with FWS.

Patch history & verification
Current Steam build (specific build number not confirmed)Sep 23, 2026
Confirmed FWS module 'Middle Earth: SOM' in the repo. PCGW marks ultrawide 'hackable' and WSGF rates it 'limited', saying it is playable only with FWS. Cutscene/menu handling without the fix isn't clearly documented, so conservative values were used (lower confidence).
