Overview

Victoria 3 lets you select 3440x1440 and 5120x1440, but Paradox flags ultrawide resolutions with a red warning icon in the menu and multiple Steam threads describe the interface as cramped at these ratios — misaligned panels, oversized menu chrome relative to the map. The world map itself renders fine and extends into the extra width, so it's playable, but closer to 'tolerated' than 'supported.' No maintained ultrawide UI mod or Flawless Widescreen entry exists.

Fixes

No known fix yet.

No dedicated fix or mod exists for the cramped menu layout at ultrawide — Paradox has never added proper UI scaling for these resolutions despite years of player requests.

Playable natively but the production/market screens feel oversized and don't use the width well.

Selectable despite the red warning; map is usable but most menus are visually cramped in the center third of the screen.
