Note: A standalone solution for the Director's Cut edition is now available.
The tools allow for support of any display aspect ratio and real-time FOV adjustment in Death Stranding. The gameplay and engine-rendered cutscenes will properly fill the screen, while the state of the pre-rendered cutscenes will depend on the used solution.
Option 1:
A trainer automatically detecting any resolution and allowing to make the zoomed pre-rendered cutscenes 16:9. Left alignment of the pre-rendered cutscenes is a known issue. The tool also allows to adjust FOV at any aspect ratio.
Unpack the archive - the password is pcgw
Launch the game, followed by the trainer
Press the desired keys - ideally from the main menu and before any cutscenes
Go to Graphics Settings and select your resolution under 21:9
Correcting the aspect ratio may require switching to 16:9 in Graphics Settings, then back to 21:9.
Option 2:
The known ultrawide solution made into patchers limited to common wide resolutions and keeping the pre-rendered cutscenes zoomed.
Tested on the latest Steam version at 1920x1080, 2560x1080, 3440x1440, 3840x1080 and 5760x1080 (HUD is spanned).
I may have been the first to discover the common sense aspect ratio change solution (as seen on the WSGF Discord), but I am certainly not the one who published the bytes first (looks like it was FasterThanFTL). As such, I am not taking any credit for the patchers but you can buy me a coffee or support me on Patreon for the trainer built over many hours of 100% unique research, calculations and code.
A total overhaul of the old Flawless Widescreen script for GTA V that has been dysfunctional for many months if not longer.
As before, it allows for fine-tuning of FOV per each view - first person, in-vehicle, ADS, and third person. It also allows to remove the pillarboxing at cutscenes at 21:9 and wider, although having the latter enabled may cause some confirmation prompts to disappear at 32:9 and wider until disabled.
Download and install Flawless Widescreen.
Download this script and unpack the archive.
Put its contents in the main Flawless Widescreen folder (usually \Program Files (x86)\Flawless Widescreen\).
Launch Flawless Widescreen, select Grand Theft Auto V (updated) and set everything to preference.
Tested the latest game version at 2560x1080, 3440x1440, 3840x1080, and 5760x1080.
The tool removes black bars from cutscenes and allows to manually control the game FOV in real time.
Unpack the archive with software like 7zip or PeaZip - the password is pcgw
Launch the game first, followed by the tool.
All trainers based on CE components may trigger some anti-virus software.
Tested the latest Origin version at 2560x1080 and 5760x1080.
