POE2 - 32:9 monitors (5120x1440) without bars??

Dear Grinding Gear Games Team,
First, thank you for your incredible work on Path of Exile 2. The game’s depth, visuals, and gameplay have already made it a fantastic experience, and I appreciate your dedication to the community.
I’m reaching out to kindly request native support for 32:9 aspect ratio monitors in Path of Exile 2. As a super ultrawide user (e.g., 5120x1440), I’ve noticed black bars when playing, which slightly detract from the immersive experience your game so brilliantly offers. I understand from previous discussions that ultrawide support, particularly beyond 21:9, can pose technical challenges due to server serialization and rendering issues. However, with the growing popularity of ultrawide monitors (over 3% of Steam users, per hardware surveys), adding 32:9 support would enhance the experience for many players.
Other ARPGs, like Torchlight 2 and Last Epoch, have successfully implemented 32:9 support, and modders have shown it’s possible for Path of Exile 2 with patches like RoseTheFlower’s, though these carry risks due to anti-cheat systems. I’d love to see native support, perhaps with an optional toggle and a warning about potential visual artifacts, as seen in games like Stellar Blade.
I know you’re busy balancing many priorities, but I hope you’ll consider this feature for players invested in ultrawide setups. Thank you for listening, and I’m excited to continue exploring Wraeclast!
The simple fact is that beyond 21:9 happens the projectile cutout. Unless they plan to change the engine for PoE1, the real reason for removing UW will never change.
Ruthless should be [Removed by Support].
