Overview
The Quarry has black bars on all four sides (windowboxed, not just pillarboxed) at any aspect ratio wider than 16:9 out of the box - this is worse than simple pillarboxing. Fixing it requires either a Google-Drive-hosted FWS plugin (not in the main Flawless Widescreen repo, so safety is unverified), a third-party GitHub ultrawide patch, or a border-remover tool where PCGamingWiki explicitly warns the newer version (v1.4) crashes the game.

Patch history & verification
Current Steam buildSep 23, 2026
Verified via PCGamingWiki wikitext: ultrawidescreen=hackable, windowboxed black bars on all sides, three separate community fix options each with tradeoffs (unofficial FWS plugin location, third-party GitHub patch, or border remover with a known-crashing version). Rated conservatively as fix-required/poor because none of the fixes are first-party or in the main FWS repo; online_fix_safety set to unknown since the Google Drive-hosted plugin file could not be independently verified for safety.
