Patch history & verification

Current Steam build (number not confirmed)Sep 28, 2026
PCGW: ultrawidescreen=true, multimonitor=true (handled in Graphics settings), FOV adjustable horizontally and vertically. No FWS module (not needed). Sourcing is thin (one detailed source) but all documented behavior is native, so rated excellent.
