Manually modify the configuration file[7]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open config.ini with a text editor.
  3. Search for Resolution= and Aspect= under [DISPLAY].
  4. Replace the numerical value in Resolution= and Aspect= to desired values (e.g. 2560x1080, 21:9).
  5. Save the changes.

Notes

UI will be stretched, causing many elements to appear off-center.
On the latest patch this doesn't seem to work in fullscreen or borderless modes. To still get ultrawide put the game into windowed mode and use Borderless Gaming if you don't want the borders. UI issues are still present.

Notes

  1. ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 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>/1277400/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1277400) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
