Ultrawide Bug

I am on a 32:9 resolution (5120x1440). So there are black bars left and right so far so not good.

I understand and accept the TOS but why is my GPU forced to render everything behind those black bars (either windowed fullscreen or fullscreen)? Sadly i cant give a proof because than i would be a cheater right? To be thrown together in the same pot as a cheater is such a huge disgrace i cant find words for that.

Pls fix this if you can tell my gpu to output black bars it surely is not a problem to stop rendering behind those bars.

That's their design, 21:9 is fine somehow. It's basically an arrangement of people who only have small monitors upset that you can afford a larger monitor and people who know nothing about programming saying its a "cheat" for stopping boss procs because you are off screen hitting them.

It's been proven multiple times to be false, but for some reason if you download the rose dll that will extend the display properly, you will get flagged for cheating.

I was at 991 hours in game, but I decided to pause playing and go back to Diablo until such time as GGG decides to support modern players. I can guarantee you the people with those sized screens are spending more per capita than the people who are like, 'I only got a 24" monitor, so therefore you should be banned'.

It's a matter of time I assume before there is some level of economic literacy that takes over and GGG determines to support this function.

I work in the industry and I can tell you there isn't a person alive working who either isn't using dual 24" monitors or one of the larger 32-49". I don't yet know that many using that wild 55" version from Samsung yet, but the Odyssey 49" has massive adoption.

I really really enjoyed this game to date though and I think the staff at GGG from what I can tell (I didn't play POE 1 so I'm a new POE'er) they are super responsive to the communities needs. If that continues to be the trend, when they add that support I will be back as I assume everyone else who has stopped logging in since they are stuck playing like its 4:3 vs anything else on their screen resolution.

Until they come out and conclusively say they won't support it, I'm giving GGG the benefit of the doubt and will be back when it is and will bring my wallet full of inventory purchases with me lol.
Amen brother i like the "it's a competetive advantage" hypocrite crowd the most. They are totally ok with having 100+ fps more than somebody else with a weak rig or console players but as soon as 32:9 enters the match its an advantage lol.

For now i will also wait till the dev's decide which way to go. It's good to know tencent can't their pockets full enough in the long run.

I wish i really knew all the technical stuff y'all are talking about but I don't. I only know my screen resolution is not really being supported since I got black bars on the side of the screen and I can tell you every 30 to 45 mins the screen tears and the resolution changes by itself and i cant control my character and so I have to quit and start again. I wish this would not be so. And I just like beautiful screens and I don't cheat in life or games.
