Overview
Space Engineers renders 21:9 and 32:9 natively, has an FOV slider (40-140 vertical), and the in-game HUD works fine. At 32:9 (5120x1440), some menus such as Contracts, Stores and Create Faction scale badly and can be hard to use. Players have reported this for years and it is still not fixed.

Patch history & verification
1.210.014Sep 23, 2026
Verified PCGamingWiki (ultrawide true, FOV slider) plus Keen support and Steam bug reports about broken 32:9 economy/faction menus. Hor+ is assumed from the vertical-FOV slider design (moderate confidence). Not in the Flawless Widescreen repo. A workaround some users mention is running 3840x1080 instead of 5120x1440.
