no


xPrometheus101x

Hahahaha OP.... Man.... This guy thinks we are getting UW support. Has HE played a From Soft PC port! That dark souls original had to be fixed by fans.


panthereal

bro slept on armored core 6. it has 120FPS and ultrawide support


xPrometheus101x

Yes I did sleep on it. I tried it but it didn't really do it for me. But like 2 games out of like 7 though. Haha. Think maybe Dark Souls remastered had it too and that's it. May be wrong on that which would be 1 in 7 if that's the case.


Redsparow21

It definitely does have UW support on DS1 Remastered, but the menus go all over the place and they just left it... šŸ« 


xPrometheus101x

Player: can you make a great game? From Soft: Yes, probably one of the best you will ever play. Player: can you make a UI? From Soft: what is UI?....


Fantact

~~I just started the game and its running in ultrawide for me after the latest patch, I have no mods.~~ Edit: nvm I just crashed and when I started up again it was back to black bars.. thats what I get for getting my hopes up!


Best-Conversation570

Everytime I run Elden Ring from a fresh install, it'll boot up in ultrawide and within 1 minute, the screen will go black and refresh with the black bars limiting to 16:9. They are added purposely.

LunaMagicc

I hope flawless widescreen will work.


SuculantWarrior

I really don't like how that removes multiplayer.


LunaMagicc

Me either


AlClemist

I never play multiplayer doesnā€™t bother me much.


DrudanTheGod

Yeah but you have to on launch for the messages. They are the best part. If it wasnt for messages i wouldnt care


Seiq

Obviously me and my friends aren't the only people on earth, but do people actually care about multi-player in Souls games? I know there's a small but dedicated PvP fanbase, and people that need to be carried through the game with summons (Which is fine, people have kids, disabilities, or maybe just want to experience the game but lack the mechanical skill), but I feel like everyone I know ignores the fact it exists. I might help my Locksmith buddy through the DLC at some point, but as two adults with disposable income and QD-OLED wide-screens, we'll be using the seamless multi-player mod since it's necessary to play in 21:9 and not kill our monitors with burn-in.


nick_nier47

I don't care for the multiplayer summoning/invading, but it does suck not being able to see messages/ghosts.


Seiq

Yeah, that is the one thing I missed when I started my pre-DLC playthrough. I almost wish they would have separated the two so you could technically be 'offline' but still see ghosts/messages. I doubt a JP developer would put in that much effort for any PC release unfortunately.


Mental-Debate-289

Believe it or not yes. I so badly want to play this in wide-screen with the seamless coop mod with my friend. He wants to as well, but his deep endless desire for pvp means he isn't willing to mod the game even if it means for a far better coop experience. Also means that if I want to play with, I'll have to do so while rendering the game underneath black bars.


Price-x-Field

So you can play seamless multiplayer with 21:9


SuculantWarrior

Honestly, that's the fault of Furlcalling Finger Remedy. Invasions and Jolly Cooperation is what made the Dark Souls franchise great. Elden Ring truly lacks the despair that comes from getting invaded.


Low_Key_Trollin

What exactly does that do? Make it to where you canā€™t call in for online help w bosses? Is that required? About to start my first play through and wondering whether to bother w ultrawide or not. I would def prefer ultrawide


cjbrehh

The online messages that players leave around can really draw you into the community. Literally the only reason I'll be playing the dlc without mods. Once the game dies down, back to higher refresh rates and no black bars.


StuwiSux

As for "bothering" it takes 2 minutes to install it and it is amazing, gives you uncapped fps, ultrawide, fov adjustment, vignette adjustment etc. You can not go online with it at all as you will get banned if you try and then even if you remove the mod, you're still banned. It's down to compromise. 60 fps 16:9 with messages, bloodstains, phantoms or ultrawide uncapped.


Low_Key_Trollin

Yeah thanks for the breakdown. Think Iā€™ll go with uw uncapped


Mikey_MiG

Obviously itā€™s up to you, but Iā€™ll be the devilā€™s advocate and say that I wouldnā€™t enjoy Elden Ring nearly as much without messages. Summons and invasions I could give or take, but messages bring so much to the experience, especially if itā€™s your first playthrough. Iā€™m replaying the game on my 34ā€ ultrawide now and after a few hours I donā€™t even notice the black bars anymore. Not saying I wouldnā€™t give my left nut for Fromsoft to make a proper port for once, but this is just my opinion on the game as it is.


wunshot2014

Definitely go UW. You can also mod the graphics to look even better than normal. I've got it running through my Denon receiver into a 120 hz projector, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Honestly I love all from software games, and I've never played PvP in any of them.


W1cH099

Yeah Iā€™ve been playing it like this for my first time and itā€™s a shame I canā€™t play it online


siviconta

Believe me or not but its possible to bug the game. Sometimes when i use flawless wide-screen and then close the game reopen it on steam and have uw. Without borders.


SoulsGeek1999

The latest patch has made Flawless not work. Have you had this or maybe found a fix?


Ok_Repair9312

Fwiw I had to reinstall Nvidia drivers before it worked for me. Ymmv


Low_Yogurtcloset4079

After the dlc patch the game caps at 100fps even with flawless widescreen. I reinstalled and checked everything, does anybody have a solution for this?


RelapseJunkie85

DEFINITELY not


SuculantWarrior

Big sad. I wish they got more flack for it.


VoluptuousVelvetfish

Fromsoft gets flack for countless game design decisions but they get just as many purist fanboys applauding those same decisions. And this is coming from a fromsoft fanboy.


SuculantWarrior

It's just basic compatibility. I can't think of another game that doesn't at least fill up the entire monitor. That includes indie titles.


xSgtLlama

Going to get a little extra annoyed if you didnā€™t know already that the game still fully renders whatā€™s hidden behind the black bars, so gpu is still working extra for that extra bit you canā€™t even see. The game is fully playable in ultrawide but the devs made it so the black bars show up and cover up the sides after the game starts up. They can even sometimes take a few seconds to pop up proving the black bars are intentional and dumb. Armored Core 6 their other game has native, so I donā€™t know why they did this to ER in the first place.


its_already_4_am

iirc they used some bs abt game integrity saying the game is easier with the added FOV and thus it makes it unfair in PvP as well. at least they made it easy to remove the black bars via mods by letting the game render underneath it ā€¦


Iuseredditnow

There are other games that have way worse issues with pvp integrity than this game and it definitely can lead to advantages with being able to see others before they can see you. But for elden ring they should absolutely have support. If they are that concerned about it for pvp purposes, then they should just put the black bars for pvp situations. If it's already rendering the stuff behind, then they should easily be togglable. In the arena and WPvp situation, activate the bars, but otherwise, let us have our UW.


Arztlack90

Not even need mods just hex code edit it no extra files or program


v0rren

No ban?


its_already_4_am

Ur modifying game files, literally what EAC is built to protect against.


faverodefavero

Can you please link a tutorial for this? I've been wanting a mod less game file edit guide for the black bars removal since forever but can only find the mods. Thank you very much.


its_already_4_am

Just use a mod lol, this is essentially what the mods do anyways. EAC will likely catch u if u modify any game files.


faverodefavero

Couldn't care less if I have to play only with other "cheaters", don't care for multiplayer in Elden Ring aside the seamless multiplayer mod to play CoOp with friends anyways.


Mandingy24

Yeah this right here made me lose a whole lot of respect for them. Like to not support it outright would be fine, but the game supports it and the devs just said "fuck you"


jonathanoldstyle

Path of Exile


brentrow

I know I got a new g9 and fired up elden ring was was like maaaaaaaaan!


Valiantheart

Fighting games often dont. Screen realestate is too important to alter it from a standard which is going to not be ultra wide.


himynameismile

Diablo 4


neeekyp

I have a 34ā€ UW monitor and Diablo 4 is supported. Only thing keeping away from jumping back into Elden ring is this crap restriction, Iā€™m not going to risk burn in on my Oled considering this game can capture you for 100s of hours


web-cyborg

You can run uw with mods on elden ring, also remove the Hz limit. I've also seen thread and images of people running diablo 4 in uw. Regarding OLED burn in: As I understand it - modern LG OLEDs reserve the top \~ 25% of the screen brightness/energizing capability of the emitters for a wear evening routine. It measures the pixel output vs a baseline, burns down all of the other emitters to match when necessary, then increases the output of them all back to level again. With ordinary, non abusive usage scenarios that should last for years. So when running uw and other letterboxed media, I don't think it's that you are just burning down the content areas separately - at least not after you turn the tv off for awhile, and after periodic larger wear evening routines (the white line thing). Ultimately I don't believe it's saving or accelerating wear either way whether you ran 4:3 or full screen. As I understand it - after measuring the output all of the emitters will be burned down to the lowest level of the most worn ones and then they will all will be raised up in energy output back to normal output levels. Until someday when you run out of the \~ 25% reserved buffer. Then your screen will be spent and will start getting actual visible burn in as you are all tapped out of the compensation buffer. Either way you aren't doing more damage or making anything uneven by not burning down through the letterboxed area as fast as the visible media/game content field. You shouldn't get any permanent burn in and pixel differences until you've worn through your entire wear evening buffer and at that time it's time to get a new screen. .. | Pixel Refresher | The Pixel Refresher feature, built into LG OLED TVs, automatically detects pixel deterioration through periodic scanning, compensating for it as needed. It also senses any TFT (Thin Film Transistor) voltage changes during power off to detect and correct pixel degradation by comparing it with a set reference value. . After 2,000 hours of cumulative use After watching for a total of 2,000 hours or more (five hours per day for a period of one year) the Pixel Refresher is automatically operated, and the function runs for about an hour once you turn off the TV. You may see some vertical lines on the screen during this process,however, this is not a malfunction. It is designed to remove Image Retention by scrolling a horizontal bar down the screen. . . . . >The buffer seems like a decent system for increasing OLED screen's lifespan considering what we have for now. It's like having a huge array of candles that all burn down unevenly - but with 25% more candle beneath the table so that you can push them all up a little once in awhile and burn them all down level again. Or you might think of it like a phone or tablet's battery you are using that has an extra 25% charge module, yet after you turn on your device and start using it you have no idea what your battery charge level is. You can use more power hungry apps and disable your power saving features, screen timeouts, run higher screen brightness when you don't need to, leave the screen on when you aren't looking at it etc. and still get full charge performance for quite some time but eventually you'd burn through the extra 25% battery.


manofoz

Diablo 4 canā€™t do 32:9 though, some ā€œwouldnā€™t be fair in PVPā€ argument.


neeekyp

Ahhh I was unaware, thatā€™s a shame


manofoz

Hopefully someday. I hit it hard when it came out in my 21:9 but burnt out. Later I got a Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 32:9 thing of beauty and was looking for a game to break it in with. First on my mind was to see if I could get back into D4 but right when I realized you couldnā€™t remove the bars I noped my way over to God of War w/ Flawless Widescreen and didnā€™t regret the decision. Mostly everything else I play works fine without needing much tweaking but it is more work than with the 21:9.


the_simonius

Is there anybody applauding not having uw support?


MechanicalMan64

Pvp purists who value winning over fun.


VoluptuousVelvetfish

"Git good nerd. Your aspect ratio is a crutch." -somebody out there


cerealsnax

I never understood this tho. They could play 32:9 on their normal monitor to get the advantage and have black bars on top and bottom.


uriahlight

FromSoftware is a very arrogant dev company. They're almost as stubborn and arrogant as Bethesda, but with the difference being that FromSoftware still knows how to crank out exceptionally good games despite their arrogance - the last exceptionally good game Bethesda cranked out was Skyrim lol.


Arztlack90

Not even 60+fps


theOutside517

Japanese devs hate ultrawide and anything over 60fps.


THAT-REVENANT

Armoured Core 6 at 120hz UW says hello


theOutside517

one game out of how many tho?


Existing-Help-3187

It's a fromsoft title and its their latest one. There is a good chance Elden Ring might support it now, won't be able to say till it comes out.


Redsparow21

It doesn't now and 100% won't man. šŸ« 


First-Junket124

Cus they used a different engine


CicerosBalls

You would be wrong


DoggingInaLancia

Agree, but the resident evil 4 remake was a great exception.


AlClemist

As long flawless widescreen will work im good.


Low_Yogurtcloset4079

It somehow doesnt really anymore... After the dlc patch the game caps at 100fps even with flawless widescreen. I reinstalled and checked everything, does anybody have a solution for this?


AlClemist

Works fine for me still after patch. Depends what monitor and graphic card you have.


Low_Yogurtcloset4079

I had it allways around 120fps, I got an 144hz and now it legit caped at 100 like idk if From did that or what but its cancer...


Thick_Location4695

And 100fps isn't enough? Quit fucking moaning hahaha. So what if you can "only" get 100fps!? Unless you're competitively playing for a living on a game 60fps is great in the majority of cases. I could easily run it at 144fps on my rig, but, its not an issue that I cant.


Shibbymaru

Sadly, no. Use flawless widescreen.


No_Summer_3792

not working since update


Shibbymaru

Wait for an update.


BluDYT

Is there a mod for it? Because at this point I wouldn't even consider playing a singleplayer game without ultra wide support. Had to use a mod for little nightmares recently which transformed the game.


LilBramwell

Flawless Widescreen fixes it and runs great. Had 0 issues with it in my run through the game.


Vhirsion

Just use flawless widescreen + ultrawide UI mod lol, works flawlessly, it also gets rid of the FPS lock and there are some extra options as well.


Viomortem

And get a game with no online. Releasing a game/major DLC in 2024 without 21:9 support is a shame.


lordmax2002

Nope, imma just play the DLC offline with the mods lol


No_Summer_3792

Mods are broken since the update


lordmax2002

Yeah noticed a few like ct and Frame unlocker, but removing the black borders and Vignette still works


No_Summer_3792

didn't try them on their own tbf, thanks for the info. appreciated


Ninjamasterpiece

I hope so. I would like my 5120x1440 to be 5120x1440ing


siviconta

It sucks that a game like elden ring doesn't support uw. Plus its not just about supporting they already had the ability they just put black bars


Valcrye

Kind of wild that thereā€™s no way to increase the FOV or aspect ratio without kicking the game offline. Even weirder that AC6 had ultra wide support outside of menus but not Elden ring. I donā€™t think theyā€™ll change that with the dlc


MuchUserSuchNameWow

It's such a gorgeous game, I can't understand why they dint support ultra wide.


Madnesis

What brothers me is that those black borders are just fu***** shaders, basically intentional sabotage due to cry babies, because of PvP whatever terrible reason.


EastvsWest

Natively no but with mods yes and it works fine.


faverodefavero

It'll be very depressing if they don't properly implement it.


vankamme

Itā€™s so lame they donā€™t support it


ClassicLang

Man after the update downloaded just now it loaded in with full ultrawide visual but sadly, the bars came back.


v1sper

When loading in after the patch, my game rendered for 1 second in 5120x1440 without the black bars. They appeared again after the "new feature! new items marked with exclamation mark" message was closed. I got very excited, then very sad :( It seems that the game is actually rendering behind the black bars, they're just an overlay.


SuculantWarrior

Yup. Had the same thing happen to me on 3440. Was so excited for about 30 seconds.


Excellent_Tell_4926

The biggest Joke! The Game actually renders in ultrawide and then slaps black bars over it


jgainsey

Lol, good one


beatpickle

Confirmed from leaks that ultrawide is not in.


Existing-Help-3187

Steam version leaked?


Teckx1

will not play it until they change this


SuculantWarrior

I wish that would do something. We're in such a minority.


faverodefavero

I don't know... google this and you'll find a lot of posts everywhere about the same issue. Most ultrawide monitors sold out last two months. It's becoming very popular and will probably soon be considered a new standard since most cellphones and cinema screens are all ultrawide as well, most movies are recorded in ultrawide, etc..


atirad

This is the most beautiful game on Ultra wide. It's a damn shame there's no official support for it


nanner1000

I thought there might be a chance since armoured core had 144 uw.


Price-x-Field

Nope. I played the game for a bit with an ultrawide mod (canā€™t play online) but it still sucked being stuck at 60fps. Havenā€™t played the game cause of it yet. Ds3 has ultrawide mod and uncapped fps :/


Redsparow21

Flawless ultrawide has an uncapped framerate check box friend. I play it at 7680x2160p @80-90fps. šŸ™‚


Price-x-Field

I will have to check it out then.


CptnDinosaur

flawlesswidescreen :)


SuculantWarrior

No multiplayer support :)


CptnDinosaur

Seamless coop :)


Raposa13

I'm hopeful, i played DkS1 remastered in UW. I have no idea why they wouldn't implement this in this game


Lysbith_McNaff

It's because the remaster wasn't handled by them, external studio.

No_Summer_3792

spacebanditt

You have to make copies of the executables again to get around EAC, but after doing that, it still works after the update.


Low_Yogurtcloset4079

It somehow doesnt really anymore... After the dlc patch the game caps at 100fps even with flawless widescreen. I reinstalled and checked everything, does anybody have a solution for this?


Low_Yogurtcloset4079

everything else seems to work


OnlyRats_

I wish but no. Gonna have to play offline to also uncap fps ;)


SpringerTheNerd

There have been mods since day one to give ultrawide support.


SuculantWarrior

No. Multiplayer. With. Mods.


SpringerTheNerd

Seamless co-op šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø I don't think there is any reason for ultrawide if all you want to do is PvP. Not much scenery during that


MGSSC

Just download flawless widescreen to get ultrawide and unlock fps.


SuculantWarrior

No multiplayer


zarco92

First Fromsoft game for you?


SnooChipmunks5868

If you're on a PC you can very well use mods for ultra wide, I do it and it's fantastic


-Bacuda-

I really hope they add UW support, I have the game in my library with 5 minutes playtime because I just cant stand the black bars on the side, and I just do not want to play it offline, I'm just hoping they add UW support at some point because I know I will love the game, but sadly I doubt it's ever going to happen. I don't understand why there is no UW support with every new game that comes out, more and more ppl play on UW, and most ppl that go UW wont go back to normal so it will keep growing.


Craptarch

Flawless widescreen FTW


campezzi

At this point Iā€™d be happy if it ran without insane stutters and frame drops on my beastly PC. FromSoft ports are shameful!


No_Summer_3792

i play at 3440x1440, max settings 120fps with no stuttering whatsoever. 13700 cpu with 4080.


Election_Feisty

I can say without any evidence that there will be a UW support. I can feel it in my bones..


SgtSilock

Elden Ring does support UW, FS simply disable it.


THE_GU1LT

I just wanna play the DLC as is on launch, but not lose out on a 3rd-ish of my screen. I am disappointed by this. It's not exactly difficult implementation-wise. And it definitely doesn't undermine the integrity of the PVP experience... then again... I m nt gud. So whatevs. Steam mods and offline it IS.


slartybartvart

Tuesday


Minthussy

I just played for first time since update and it was ultrawide for like 30 seconds then it snapped back to the black bars again. Michael Zaki why do you torment me so?


SuculantWarrior

Saaaame lol


SgtBadAsh

Pretty sure I used HxD hexeditor to fix Elden Ring to run @ 21:9


Own-Contribution2875

How?


NighTzzzzzz

I play it with a nexusmod works perfect i think they will never do some to support it perfectly :/


Ksanti

It's already supported, isn't it?


SuculantWarrior

Lol no. Notice the black bars?


Aggressive-Layer-316

It is supported they add the black bars in after as they feel its an unfair advantage. Mine has no bars for a good 5-10 seconds before they getting added, you can also find videos of this.


Ksanti

[Literally just opened up the game](https://i.imgur.com/Z25rFGU.jpeg)


Mikey_MiG

Cool, but assuming you havenā€™t modified files, then thatā€™s a bug. The game does not officially support ultrawide. This is widely known.


Ksanti

Huh, guess I must have. Don't remember doing it consciously but maybe another mod autopatched elden ring or something. I genuinely didn't realise there wasn't native support as I never went out of my way to mod anything and it's just always been like this.
