Greetings,
following issue bothers me for some time. I have an 34" ultrawide monitor, but thats just part of it.
I am playing with blackbars on the side, but that does not bother me, what bothers me is that i can only set it to Full-HD 1920x1080. Befor that i had an 2k 27" monitor where i had the option to play on 2560 x 1440. Is this an issue because I use the programm flawless widescreen? Because playing it on Full-HD really looks like crab.
Without the programm I can set it to my nativ 34" resolution, but that does not work obviously because of the lack of support for utrawide.
Does anybody has the same issue or does a way to fix it?
Thanks!
There is no way to fix it. A few years back Blizzard patched SC2 to block all resolution override hooks.
you can still have higher resolution than 1080p. you just have to force the higher resolution. if your monitor is locked to 1080 p and below you need to enable the force higher resulution through the graphics card options. Im not sure what nvidia’s is called but on amds is the virtual super resolution needs to be enabled. this will unlock the higher resolutions after you up your displays to higher. after thats done sc2 will show the higher res. options available. However in your case with the ultra wide im pretty sure that sc2 just doesnt have ultrawide support, so you might be a bit screwed on that.

The fact that we can play another Blizzard rts (Warcraft 3 Reforged) in ultrawide, but not Starcraft 2, is beyond ridiculous. I can literally play games older than SC2 that are no longer supported, in ultrawide. The whole unfair advantage thing for multiplayer, sure. But this multi-million dollar company can’t even offer the ability to play SC2 offline/single player in 21:9 is absolutely pathetic. I will no longer be purchasing anything coming from Blizzard until they actually care about their paying customers and fix something so trivial as this issue.

It’s almost like SC2 came out in 2010 and Reforged came out in 2020. Weird!
I’m super upset at T&E Soft for the same reason; Virtual Hydlide on the Sega Saturn doesn’t support my 4k HDR TV! It doesn’t even have an HDMI port on the console! I am never purchasing any hardware from Sega again, I can’t believe they didn’t plan ahead.
(There are no devs working on this game, and they patched it so that you can’t use driver hooks to override the resolution to set it to UW because they conscientiously do not want to balance the game around UW resolutions. You’re out of your gourd if you expect a 15 year old game to support settings that didn’t even commercially exist when the software was released let alone when it started being worked on 10 years prior. Please form some perspective, the world does not revolve around you)

Ultrawide monitors that lack a dedicated aspect ratio setting are a disgrace. In fact, all monitors should have this feature but for ultrawide it’s just laziness. How hard or costly can it be to support letterboxing?
This is like how, back in the day, I couldn’t simply watch most DVDs using Windows Media Player (I’m old) without cropping. VLC, MPC, GOM, etc. supported this, but why was Microsoft being so pathetically lazy.
