| Ultra-widescreen | 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] |
