Ultra-widescreen

Resolution can be manually set using GameConfig.txt in the configuration file.

The developers recommend against using ultra-wide resolutions due to the potential to break game elements.

At Eyefinity/Surround 3 screen resolutions, the game is entirely unplayable due to off-screen oversized UI, missing dialogue boxes, and broken cutscene sequences.

Modify GameConfig.txt

After launching the game once, navigate to the configuration file location. In the Fell Seal folder, open GameConfig.txt with Notepad or another text editor. In the [graphics] section, replace the numbers of resolutionx (width) and resolutiony (height) with your desired resolution. Save and exit the document. Notes To revert these changes, change the variables back to a basic resolution (e.g. 1920 and 1080), change the setting in-game, or delete GameConfig.txt.
