Ultrawide monitor resolutions not fitting the screen

Hello there's a bug where the higher resolutions on ultrawide monitors does not work. The ratio is off and there are black bars on the left and right side of the screen.

I just wanted to make sure it was reported, sorry if this has already been reported.

It is likely that those black bars are by design for very wide resolutions. I don't know what the max supported resolution is for Path of Exile 2, but it used to be that the maximum supported ultrawide resolution for POE 1 was 12:5 (just over 21:9).

As far as I know, POE2 still does not support 32:9 resolutions (it reportedly did not upon launch).

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.

Also: Change to 12:5 from 21:9 to help avoid black bars for resolutions close to 21:9

Prior to implementing the bars, players complained that there were dead zones for skill usage at the edges of the screen.



There was recently a post from a user indicating they were running at 3840x1080 and that they subsequently obtained black bars in early January (posted to POE1 forum, but perhaps they were referring to POE2 from the timing). However, several users reported obtaining black bars running 32:9 resolutions upon launch.
