Overview
Out of the box the game uses vertical-minus scaling with an FOV slider (60 to 120), FMVs are stretched, and dialog, menus and rendered cutscenes are pillarboxed to 16:9. A community tool tested at 2560x1080 and 3840x1080 removes the pillarboxing and fixes vertical FOV, though stretched FMVs remain. Flawless Widescreen has no module for it. Steam now sells the Spacer's Choice Edition (id 1920490) rather than the original, which is a different release.

Read PCGamingWiki ultrawide notes and fix; confirmed community file page responds (HTTP 200) but did not download it. Checked FWS repo: no module. Steam appid is the Spacer's Choice Edition, the closest Steam listing; the 2019 original is not separately sold there.
