The zoom is ridiculous in this game. Mobs appearing out of thin air ruins it too. I hope they stop hiding screen options behind this bad design choice.

When running UW monitors in this game can you see enemies off screen you wouldn’t see on a 16:9? That would be hugely advantageous given how deathly those stupid arrow turret skeleton things are.
21:9 or UW or UWQHD (3440×1440) is already a standard and supported by almost every game and application these days including D4; I think your information is out of date. Beyond just support in games if you look just now of any of the major PC parts stores (I chose New Egg but any will do) so will find a wide selection of monitors from every manufacturer selling 34" UWQHD monitors in both curved and flat varieties.
Super Ultra Wide (the 49" monitors running at 5440x1440) on the other hand are definitely not standard however and primarily consist of just the Samsung Odyssey G9 flavors and now LG has one too. Support for the 5440x1440 is patchy at best and only a couple models are available.
In summary UW is already a standard.
Super UW is not and your statement applies there.
I have a Samsung Odyssey OLED G9, upgraded from the original Odyssey G9. D4 doesn’t work in full 32:9, but it runs in 27:9 (or 3:1), which is definitely better than just 21:9, but not great. Hopefully Blizzard will improve the situation in the future.
All in all super ultra wide is a awesome and once you get used to it, you never want to come back. I hope you’re enjoying your monitor!

New and modern games should have support for any size and shape monitor wether it be S shaped for whatever reason lol. All my favorite games like Diablo 3, Last Epoch and World of warcraft etc support 32:9. I don’t play Diablo 4 for the reason of game not being finished, bugs, DCs. I would consider playing again if the game actuall fit my monitor (G-9). For a “New” game to not fit my screen is a major dissapointment! Bought it a while back knowing D3 supports it and looks great and ready for D4 but meh! Shame Blizzard!!

Its a shame, i stopped playing diablo 2 since i got my oled uw… i wish i could play it again but not without uw.
when 32:9 this game have 0 pvp
Pathetic. Came back after to a year to give it a try again. Uninstalling. Again.
Unfortunately I wouldn’t expect this to ever get changed. It’s likely some engine or technical limitation. And there just aren’t enough 32:9 users for Blizzard to bother catering to.
not true you could play on tests and everything worked, there are even movies in 5120x1440, then they turned it off:
Bizzard’s reason:
- balance in PvP
- skill range
Facts:
- laziness of the company
- there is no PvP in this game
- skills can be distance limited, 20 years ago games already had such functions

I’m not disagreeing but look at all of the whiners and complainers who cried about balance (yes even PVE balance) and that 21:9/32:9 users should all be forced to 16:9. So it’s nothing to do with Blizzard being lazy. They’re simply catering to the crying of their playerbase. You can blame the streamers too who all whined and made videos that ultrawide is too OP.
I argued this topic at length pre-release that 21:9/32:9 should be fully supported but I was definitely in the minority.

I really enjoy all my uw and 32:9 supported games.
I dont think its a gimmick personally. As am immersion factor, its great.
I actually had to make decision between the g9 and 4k / 144 hz.
Bought the g9 and was initially disappointed due to lack of support.
I ended up getting both eventually and definitely prefer the g9 when supported.
Dear Blizzard Please Integrate Super-ultrawide 32:9 !
IIRC aspect ratio was uncapped in beta… I wouldn’t hold your breath for them to undo that change.
I agree that it’s ridiculous I don’t own a Super Ultra Wide screen but have 3 Full HD monitors setup in Eyefinity, which would be the equivalent of 32:9, eventhough they have thin bezels, having the additional 2 black bars on the sides is super annoying and it makes it unplayable with this setup. because I wouldn’t mind the bezels if the image was extended through all the monitors and yeah who plays this game for pvp?
