It's the best version by far, I almost completed it (second DLC, main game was beaten) on PS4 with shit framepacing and 30fps lock. After some hex edit tweaking (or souls unsqeezed app) UW PC version is the way to go:
New automata ver is UW outside of the box

Damn those games look clean. I returned Automata from Steam because the MOD's messed up my game, and it lagged on my system. Now that I have an RTX card I'm thinking of dipping again. I can't. believe how good dark souls looks, do you use a controller or k/m?

It hurts when you select 3440×1440 from the Video menu in games and everything is still 16:9.

Dark souls is running in 5120x2160 and downsampled to 2560x1080 on this sreenshot, game is completely playable on 3070 with these settings (~55FPS on VRR screen). In Automata MSAA is running correctly in this updated version.
That's why you need to check pcgamingwiki for solutions. Almost every game can be properly displayed on UW screen, usually it's just hex edit (you ctrl-c, ctrl-v some values), ini edit or trainer running in the background.

My dream is an ultrawide TV like this:
Personally I found Doom 2016 to be incredible in 21:9, I had to give up real-estate and accept black bars for it but was totally worth it. It works so well with the atmosphere of the game, even more so than Eternal. And it goes without saying but open world games in 21:9 are also just [chef's kiss].

This is pretty cool. I might give the game another chance sometime.Holy shit! I just learned that FFXIII has UW fix! One of the few games that I was never able to force to work in this aspect ratio

Detroit is UW with an executable still right?
The game keeps crashing for me and it’s pissing me off. Devs did a shit job porting. Pisses me of even more when we can see how a game can easily be supporting ultrawide with a simple patch, but devs ignore it.

Very nice pictures in here.
I just bought myself a 1440p 144Hz ultrawide monitor to replace my 4k one for gaming. I'll focus more on framerate over resolution and see how it goes.

I really wish we’d start seeing 82”+ ultra wides. I LOVE my new 34” lg 5k ultra wide, but playing games on it still feels like a downgrade compared to my living room 82” 4K qled
Couldn't you just force a 21:9 resolution on it and have black bars on the top and bottom.

I'd rather have an ultra wide screen on the wall, would look so amazing., and I want that full 82"+ of screen filled.

I used this
Yeah they fucked up, even more so considering B2S is native 21:9 even on PS3/4 (with black bars on top and bottom) and supports fullscreen UW perfectly.
It's worth playing but sadly one of the weakest mainline FF games, XIII-2 doesn't have any fix for UW and I'm really interested in playing it...

how much less ?Treated myself to a 21:9 late last year. Got a really good Amazon Warehouse deal in the sales. It's the Alienware AW3418DW
Very happy with it.

Definitely most of games released in last few years, if something doesn't you just go to pcgamingwiki and fix is waiting there (hex edit or trainers for fucking gamepass games with no exe files

AC games are unplayable to me without UW since Origins
I would disagree on Dark Souls. I absolutly hate it when the ui is not in the corners, this way it looks like it's floating in the screen and distracts me a lot...

What's regarded as the ultimate UWS monitor these days? I used to have an LG 34" (one of the very first UWS) but sold it and now I have the Asus PG27UQ. But I'm getting the UWS itch again.

21:9 is nice i wish it was standard. support for it is hit or miss. when i was looking to buy a new monitor last year i did think about getting a 21:9 but it'd piss me off playing games with black bars or having to mod games. that said, at the same time, i hope we stick with 16:9 for a long time yet. if 21:9 did become standard it'd mean playing old games with black bars or modding games! just keep it as it is. if developers want to support 21:9 fine but 16:9 should be priority all the time. if there is support for both in all games then at least people can make the choice
maybe my next monitor will be a 21:9 because i don't plan on playing games on PC for much longer. a wide screen monitor would be awesome for just basic desktop use.

I got an acer x35, which is at similar standings as the pg27uq. These are going cheap on clearance now.
I think the new 32:9 49" 2000 mini-leds are incoming replacements, but they will not have gsync hardware. so probably worse hdr on windows desktop and no 1fps vrr.
otherwise alienware aw38, a bit bigger, higher res but no fald backlight.

I love 144hz, but it’s not the most supported framerate in the world. Even then, there’s plenty that lock to 120hz. How many games support 240hz? I imagine 21:9 is either better supported or easier to force than 240hz and easier to run.
I've just broke my 32:9 Samsung monitor in a stupidest way possible and I want to share with you my loss.
I take my glasses off and for a statistically impossible reason, putting the glasses on the table, the end of the glasses got stuck between the LCD and the frame, <3 millimeter gap. Really, it can't be possibile. I would have preferred if the monitor crashed from a fall or died for no reason instead of this. The monitor is still working but the image is partially broken with lines.
At this point, since the LCD cost is more than 600€, it's good only for the dumpster.

I think this is what I'm going to do. Gonna wait to get a 3080ti first (like a year lol) then once I have that I'll dip into the UW world (144hz most likely).

I'll post screens tonight when I'm home but I've been playing Immortals Fenyx Rising on my ultrawide monitor and it looks amazing. But it's no surprise since every game on an ultrawide instantly becomes a much better experience.

Shadow warrior 2 looks decent in 21:9.

My initial fear was the amount of support they had but I have yet to encounter a modern game where I had any issues. The only thing I've had to mess with is cutscenes in games having black bars in some games. But there are simple and quick edits you can do to resolve these issues.
This is the monitor I'm currently using:

FFXIV in Ultrawide is the only way to play. You can see attack markers that would normally be off-screen in other resolutions.
I have not tried FFXIV since buying my UW monitor, but that’s tempting me to resub.
Is there an FFXIV GAF community? I used to hang with them on FFXI, no idea if they kept playing it. What server if yes?
