Previously it was possible to manually set the aspect ratio of the Path of Exile client to be very short and wide, allowing you to see an unintended amount of the level at once. A limit needed to be set. Because of server serialisation distances, this maximum aspect ratio is currently set to 21:9. This is the widest that we can currently go before we start hitting the cutoff where entities and effects vanish. We are looking at being able to increase this in the future.

This note was accidentally missed from the patch notes. We're very sorry for that oversight.

You missed it. First reply too. It seems people defending ultra wide are just extra fond of overusing fallacies to try and discredit others.

Black bars are not acceptable or defensible

Fix it

Might I suggest a pair of floral curtains custom made to fit over the black bars on your monitor to hide them. You can then pretend that you are in the cinema.

First world problems. Sheesh.

When briefly scrolling through this thread again I noticed that:

It was started by someone who isn't the person asking if to be fixed every day or so.

Most people I saw early on don't like the bars. There were a lot of people saying it was done to fix advantage in Royale mode or some very specific campaign/map skips that can still be done in windowed mode.

A lot of pointless antagonism. Like the black bars look bad imo. GGG should have continued supporting the resolution by doing more work (admittedly a lot more work, but worth it to keep customers happy) instead of just unsupporting a resolution with an unlisted patch note change until people complained. It is funny a lot of people defending this vaguely imply GGG is too inept to fix it or support uw.

Not really my fight either way. This whole thing is very funny though.

Black bars are a acceptable solution for many valid reasons across many games.

Fix your own hardware.

It was already proven in this topic, that UW is about paid advantage in content like delve.
