This patch is awesome. Do you think it would be possible to apply a similar patch to Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns ?

Hi. Followed directions as exactly. Do I need to install any other programs along with the ultrawide fix? The black pillarboxed bars are still present. Thanks! [I use a 2560 x 1080p ultrawide monitor maybe that's why it will not work?]

*Update* Tried it on my roommate's pc and they use a 3440 x 1440p ultrawide monitor and it worked perfectly.

Hello! I'm unable to get this patch to work. I have placed the contents from the zip file in both of the mentioned game folders. I also have edited the settings.ini with my desired resolution (5120x1440), and I was unable to get any result. The first time I had opened the game with this patch, it crashed on the title screen before showing the game's logo. The second time opening, the patch had no effect. Please let me know if there is anything I am doing wrong. Thanks!

2560x1080 resolution is definitely not the reason why it doesn't work. It works fine for me.

Maybe there is some problem with the loader.

Try this version with a different loader - ffXIIIASI.zip

  • Unpack the archive
  • Copy all files into two game folders
  1. "\FINAL FANTASY XIII\"
  2. "\FINAL FANTASY XIII\white_data\prog\win\bin\"
  • Set the resolution in both files
  1. "\FINAL FANTASY XIII\Settings.ini"
  2. "\FINAL FANTASY XIII\white_data\prog\win\bin\Settings.ini"

Hi thanks for the feedback!

Unfortunately it didn't work for me. Here's what I attempted at.

- Copied and pasted both in:

  1. "\FINAL FANTASY XIII\"
  2. "\FINAL FANTASY XIII\white_data\prog\win\bin\"

Result: No success

 

- Left files but changed resolution to width = 2560 and height = 1080

Result: No success

 

- Changed Fullscreen = 1 -> Fullscreen = 0 *w/ width and height untouched*

Result: No success

 

- Unplugged multi monitor and attempted just the ultrawide monitor

Result No Success

 

Possibility:

- I do have my game on my "D" drive while Steam is on my "C" drive. I might have to try changing it to all on "D" drive later to see if it works. 

If there's anything else that might be helpful I definitely appreciate it so much! Thanks for taking the time out of your day to troubleshoot with me @killer-m

Hey all,

just created an account to tell @justin_shoe that I had the exact same problem with the fix not working.

For me the only way I could make it work was to deinstall the reshade mod. It was this mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy13/mods/22?tab=files Both are overwriting the game.exe and the reshade stuff seems to be dominant and deactiving the ultrawide fix. Maybe that's the issue for you as well.

@killer-m Do you see a way to fix this issue? Anyway thanks for this fix. It really is awesome!

One point I tried the patch by itself but it still didn't work for me. *This was before the alternative file btw* only thing I can think of which I haven't got around to yet was installing the game on the same drive as my operating system. This could solve it but yeah. when I get to it I'll post my update here as to whether that method works or not.

Try hardcoded 2560x1080 - ffxiiiHC.rar password - pcgw

Copy ffxiiiimg.exe to "\FINAL FANTASY XIII\white_data\prog\win\bin\"

Hotkeys and Settings.ini are not available in this case.

To get a custom resolution, you need to change the bytes at these offsets

22E3568 — 00 0A 00 00
22E356C — 38 04 00 00

@killer-m Thank you so much! I'm happy to update you and anyone else who comes across this that your fix worked! Not promoting, but just wanted to share my test gameplay with it on for the first couple minutes of the game. Thank you so much for taking your time and you've made another FFXiii player happy in the community 🙂 !

The only thing that works for me is the Hardcoded. Only thing is it mandatory fullscreen. So if you playing within a 16:9 monitor you have to actually set  windows to 2560x1080.

Thanks so much for this, looks amazing. Would kill/pay to see the same for the other two games if possible.
Any idea what to set the FOV value to for 21:9? I'm no good with this stuff. Thanks again.

      Kena: Bridge of Spirits ultrawide fixes
      By Rose
      The small patcher removes the side black bars from the in-engine cutscenes and corrects the issue of reduced field of view when starting a new game.
      Simply unpack the archive and follow the instructions of the tool to patch the game. Tested the latest Epic Games Store version at 2560x1080, briefly at at 3840x1080 and 5760x1080.

      I Am Fish ultrawide and wider fix
      By Rose
      The tool corrects the reduced field of view at the cutscenes at 21:9 and wider resolutions, and allows to bypass the game's max resolution checks, making it support resolutions like 5120x1440.
      Download the archive and unpack it with software like PeaZip using the password pcgw Launch the game, followed by the tool. Press the FOV key to correct it in real time (undoing will require a cutscene restart) Press the force resolution key, then select and apply any resolution if the game does not support yours. All trainers containing CE components may trigger some anti-virus software.
      Tested the latest Game Pass version at 2560x1080, briefly at 5120x1440, 3840x1080 and 5760x1080.
      Kudos to PhantomGamers for a hint that helped analyze the game variables.

      The Artful Escape ultrawide fix
      By Rose
      The tool corrects the reduced field of view and removes the black bars affecting 21:9 and wider resolutions, particularly prominent at 32:9 and wider.

      For Microsoft Store:
      Download the archive and unpack it with software like PeaZip using the password pcgw Launch the game, followed by the tool. Press the key as instructed to toggle the fix on and off in real time. All trainers containing CE components may trigger some anti-virus software.

      For Steam and any other stores the game may appear on, simply download the related patcher and target the game executable.
      Tested the latest Game Pass version at 2560x1080 and 5760x1080. Steam version tested by a WSGF user at 3440x1440.

      Modern Warfare Remastered - Singleplayer FOV Fix
      By Methanhydrat
      TL;DR
      The Modern Warfare Remastered - Singleplayer FOV Fix (MWRSPFovFix) is a mod for Modern Warfare Remastered. It allows changing the FOV of the singleplayer campaign, including the size of the weapon model.
      Download Sources:
      PC Gaming Wiki Quick Start Guide:
      Extract all files to the game’s installation folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered\"). Start the MWRSPFovFixGUI.exe to configure the mod (might require .NET runtime 3.1.0). Start the game as usual (e.g. through Steam). Configuration
      Note that the game uses two FOV values: A vertical base FOV and a scaling factor; which also affects the “size” of the weapon. The effective FOV is calculated by using both of these two values.
      By default, the game uses a base FOV of 65.0 and a weapon scaling of 1.0.
      Features
      The features of this mod include:
      Option to set the vertical FOV to almost arbitrary values Option to set the FOV scale of the weapon model Simple to install and use Easy to configure via a GUI and ingame bindings Supported Versions
