Early Access Discussion - Ultrawide support - Forum

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. The game isn't designed with these resolutions in mind and likely it will never come back. Obviously, using a third party "fix" is not allowed - if you get banned for doing so, your fault. It didn't break the game, there were minor issues with monsters on the edges of 32:9 monitors, that isn't a valid reason for them to remove the support, which is what they did in poe1, they just slapped black bars over the edges of the screen.

Maybe the devs could do something like have enemies attack you if you have attacked them, that way even if you are outside of their aggro range they would attack you.

That just leads to players getting offscreened if they don't have an ultrawidescreen monitor. PoE2 is a great tutorial for PoE1.	Posted by Lixy#2668 on Apr 5, 2025, 5:39:55 PM Quote this Post

I don't have enough time to ever be near a point where what I do in this game can be seen as competetive. The thought of cheating doesnt ever cross my mind as I'm just trying to play the game and enjoy it. Here we have a company that actually decided to make their game less ejoyable, intentionally forcing me to use only part of my monitor. It's just baffling..

I've literally quit because of their stance on UW & SUW. I had a few hundred hours on POE 2; spent lots of real money on Tabs and packs; and now Roses UW Fix is a "cheat". I'm done unless they add native support. The game isn't that great where I will be missing too much anyways. GGG; your view on UW and SUW is very strange. You have Money BOTS and Boost Hacking going on daily, but ya, take away the usages of a screen resize......Wow.	Posted by Halpinat0r#8514 on Jun 22, 2025, 4:22:24 PM Quote this Post
