Overview
The Forest (the original 2018 game, not Sons of the Forest) has strong ultrawide credentials: PCGamingWiki lists native widescreen and ultrawidescreen support and cites a WSGF gold widescreen / silver ultrawidescreen award. FOV is vertical-based, giving Vert- style scaling that extends the horizontal view cleanly at 21:9. True 32:9 evidence rests mainly on WSGF's separate multimonitor (silver) rating rather than a single-panel super-ultrawide test, so it's kept at partial for 32:9.

Fixes
No known fix yet.
No fix needed for 21:9; true 32:9 super-ultrawide is only documented via a WSGF multimonitor (silver) award, which is not the same test as a single super-ultrawide panel, so no dedicated 32:9 fix was found or needed.

Confirmed native ultrawide support and WSGF gold/silver awards directly from PCGamingWiki and WSGF's own game page. Distinguished this title from the unrelated sequel Sons of the Forest, which is a separate database entry.
