Overview

STALKER 2 lists ultrawide as 'hackable' on PCGamingWiki: the game runs at 21:9/32:9 resolutions but uses Vert- scaling (effectively cropping useful FOV rather than granting extra horizontal view), and cutscenes are pillarboxed. Flawless Widescreen ships an official STALKER 2 module (confirmed in the live FWS repo XML, added per its changelog) and Lyall's STALKER2Tweak is an actively referenced alternative for FOV correction. Best results on 32:9 require one of these fixes rather than relying on native settings.
