[Bug]: HUD/UI still show up on black bars when put to false in settings (ultrawide fix)

[PsychOwnZ]

Issue Summary:

HUD is still appearing above and below my screen even when I set all ultrawide settings to false. I'm using a computer with a 16:10 resolution, and I prefer to have black bars above and below the screen while still using the other features.

Reproduction:

Just open any menu, dialogues, fade-in animations, or cinematics.

Are you using borderless mode or windowed/fullscreen? If you use borderless, the game will always display at your desktop resolution.

[PsychOwnZ]

Yes, I've already tried both fullscreen and borderless modes. Only windowed mode works (obviously). I think I took the screenshots in fullscreen mode here.

[Fune3]

I'm also having this issue playing at 3440x1440 - I only want P3RFix for the intro skip and render texture fix, so this makes it unusable for me since setting a custom resolution to 2560x1440 in the ini did not work.

[Lyall]

Hmm it should be applying the custom resolution correctly in fullscreen and windowed mode. Can you try running in windowed mode and then pressing alt+enter to switch to fullscreen? If that doesn't work I'll probably have to take a look at a different approach for applying the custom resolution.

[PsychOwnZ]

I just tried it.
With custom resolution off, it stretches the screen really badly. I can provide some screenshots if you'd like to see, or if you're unsure what I mean by "stretch."
With custom resolution on and put to 0, it doesn't change; it's the same as the fullscreen screenshots I posted.

[Lyall]

Looking at this more, it seems to be a quirk of UE4. When in fullscreen mode it stretches based on your desktops aspect ratio. Even setting scaling options in your driver control panel does not bypass this.

[PsychOwnZ]

Any idea on how we can fix it ?

[Lyall]

Sorry for the late reply. I can only suggest either changing your desktop resolution and scaling before starting the game. Or you could use something like SpecialK which has excellent features for aspect ratio correction and resolution overriding.

[PsychOwnZ]

No problem!
Well, will look at that, thanks.

[PsychOwnZ]

Alright, so I tested by tweaking some settings on Special K. It works correctly by overriding the aspect ratio to 16:9 and changing the resolution accordingly. Thanks! I didn't test by changing the desktop resolution, but I guess it would work the same.
