Although ultrawide works the UI is often buggy and misplaced because of the alternate aspect ratio.[citation needed]
FOV is Ver+ so playing at higher aspect ratios makes it very hard to see the bottom of the character, and can hide it almost completely in some menu screens.[citation needed]

While fullscreen the user can pick any resolution supported by their display driver, all modes default to the monitors native resolution.
