Overwatch 2 needs to have 16:10 support!

So that it will fit screens like MacBook and steam deck screens.

It already has.

As far as I’m concerned, it leaves black bars even with the 16:10 option put on, same for 21:9

4

I have the opposite problem I play on console and no matter my settings the game picture seems to cut off near the sides of the screen as if the picture is too big it is not game breaking but it only happens on overwatch

If it leaves black bars you aren’t using a 16:10 resolution (or your monitor is doesn’t have the 16:10 ratio)

Oh ok I have a couple of options, a friend had this

1 is that in the console settings you get into somewhere for TV settings and adjust the borders

2 would be to mess around with TV settings so it forces 16:9, or maybe it doesn’t automatically adjust size

Do you use 16:10 resolution?
Because like I just talk from other’s experience, I have no clue lmao
But if 16:10 works for you then that’d leave a problem only for 21:9?

I dont think McBooks are OW compatible and its also not in the works because its not worth the effort.

Steam decks… I mean, OW is not on steam currently and just because you can play OW on it does not mean that they have to optimize the game for a product they don’t really have a association with.

It depends on the ratio of your screen. if it is designed for 16:9, all others will show black bars (or the image will be stretched in some cases)

I have done that but it only works for some games not all of them and the cut off at the top and bottom only happens in overwatch. Like I said it’s nothing game breaking it’s just at the top right where your name is on the home screen and the bottom of the character portrait while in a match

Oh yeah I know, I’ve just heard that people with 21:9 monitors using 21:9 resolution with the 21:9 setting get black bars either way

Pretty weird then, would love to trouble shoot your tv lmao

That would be weird.

The most common reason why people are complaining about 21:9 in OW is that unlike other ratios it crops the top and bottom of the screen instead of expanding the view horizontally. Which is just a 16:9 with the top and bottom removed (i. e. you see less than if you use a standard 16:9)

It appears I was mistaken 16:10 is already supported
