Ultra-widescreen

Force any resolution through a config file[2]
  1. Launch the game once and apply any resolution.
  2. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  3. Open GameUserSettings.ini in a text editor.
  4. Modify the values of ResolutionSizeX and ResolutionSizeY to match the width and height of the desired resolution (e.g. ResolutionSizeX=2560).
  5. Save the changes.
Applying a different resolution in the game will require following the steps again.
Use the related PCGamingWiki community tool to remove dialogue and cutscenes pillarboxing.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/865610/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (865610) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
