Overview

Split Fiction's split-screen co-op gameplay renders correctly across the full 32:9 canvas, but cutscenes default to pillarboxed 16:9 out of the box. Players have documented specific hex-edit values for the game executable to force ultrawide framing during cinematics, since there's no official in-game option to do so. Workable but manual — not something a non-technical player will want to do without following a guide closely.
