Sekrio FPS Unlocker / Ultrawide mod "Under Review" since November 17, is the mod somewhere else?

Just got Sekiro on the Steam sale and am having a hard time locating the mod that allows for FPS unlock and ultrawide monitor support, the link I see on all the videos takes me to a page that says this:

https://preview.redd.it/54msgmepds3e1.png?width=555&format=png&auto=webp&s=6c2894db21d578f5213925cad28ea67ff8f944b1

For now I'm just going to play at 16:9 on my 32:9, but I would love to get this mod running for the full immersive experience, the videos I see look amazing. TIA.

WSGF Plugins Error

https://preview.redd.it/9q0ls45zh83e1.png?width=1043&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a65d96d429fd183850deaf75aae575e2391802f

Hello, i want to play Sonic Lost World in 32:9
and I have downloaded the plugins for FWS at: https://www.wsgf.org/dr/sonic-lost-world/en

I have copied the file to the FWS installation folder, and it has also appeared in the "installed Plugins" section.

But why can't it be used? It always displays the notice "Missing Depencies"

Is there something wrong?
Thanks

Samsung Odyssey bar issue - is it kaput?

Hi all, I have a 34" Odyssey OLED G85SB.

I'm seeing some vertical bars, only on the right side of my screen. I accidently ripped the cable out of the computer and had to buy a new one, these have been present since.

I'm wondering if the sudden removal of the cable has hurt it somehow. I'm not up to speed on monitors so any help appreciated!

Widescreen Monitor

i am looking to replace my 60hz LG 32 UN500 monitor for a widescreen monitor.

ideally between £250-£400 in pricing

Can anyone recomend something? i have seen lots of cheap brands on amazon with decent reviews but slightly sceptical.

I tried to view some in currys as ive not really seen any but they dont seem to have them on display.

I want to have atleast 120hz refresh rate as i have heard this is a game changer.

My PC has a 4080 Super graphics card.

Help with Alan Wake 2, Flawless Widescreen FoV Stopped Working For Me

On my first playthrough I remember using it to increase the very narrow fov of the game, it worked... flawlessly.
But the game have received some updates since and now we have a FOV slider in the game settings, however, it's still sub 90 when maxed, Witch makes it hard to play for more than a short session.
It's been a while since the game updates have arrived so I was wondering if someone here has any solution.

Thanks in advance.

Help with Tomb Raider GOTY 2013 on UltraWide 31:9

When I try to play Tomb Raider 2013 on my Ultra Wide monitor at 5120 x 1440, part of the game play area is cut off, and the cut scenes are zoomed in? Does anyone know if a fix for this? I've found plenty of articles that talk about this, but haven't had much luck actually finding a fix that works.

Samsung Odyssey G9 - Black screen

Hi

I have a Samsung Odyssey G9 (LC49G95TSSUXEN) and I moved and had it standing around for a week or so. After reconnecting it would only show a black screen (backlight on) and sometimes I've seen the OSD colors for a second on the side of the screen. It looks like if the LCD is not working anymore. I opend the back and checked the cable connections and reconnected them. I also checked the fuses and didnt found any burned smell/parts. The LCD driver module under the LED ring module seems to hum a little but I didnt found anything else. Flatband connectors seem also ok from what I saw.

Any idea what could be wrong or what I could check?

Flawess Widescreen Won't Work?

I just got an ASUS TUF 34" monitoring (3440 x 1440) @ 165gz.

My understanding is that when you start up Flawless Widescreen, it should just work once you install the plugin for a game?

I'm running the OG 2011 version of Skyrim, and it simply won't work. My Steam games are saved to the D drive, so I tried changing to file path to there, and no dice.

Today I tried running it in compatibility mode and a bunch of other stuff since I'm on Windows 10, and this dang software just doesn't work at all.

Can't find much documentation on using it, and the YT videos I watched were just like "it should just work!"

So I'm sorta lost here. I did change the .ini file on Skyrim to 3440 x 1440 manually, but it had issues and was kinda jittery.

Feeling kind of dumb because everyone keeps saying it's simple to set up and use, yet it doesn't seem to work

Life is Strange Double Exposure

The game doesn't natively support 21:9 (sigh). According to the PC Gaming Wiki this fix for another game also works on this one, and when using it the game zooms out to ultrawide for just a second before snapping back to 16:9, so I'm guessing its close but doesn't actually work. Anyone have a working solution?

EDIT: Nevermind, I was just dumb and put the files in the wrong Win64 folder. Extract the zip from this fix, browse to BrambleTMK_SUWSF\Bramble_TMK\Binaries\Win64, and copy the contents to \LifeIsStrangeDoubleExposure\Chronos\Binaries\Win64 and it works great.

What would be an eyefinity like software for Mac? Or even Windows?

Hi WSGF, I recently bought a Samsung ultra wide and heard of the tool flawless widescreen but I think I misunderstood its ability. I thought it could handle if you were running two monitors side by side and it would treat it like one. Such as this is not the case, I tried to look for eyefinity in my AMD rads on settings but it’s suddenly gone. I have the AMD 5500M 8gb and I’m pretty sure it worked in the past but now I can’t even launch the exe manually. So somethings buggered up. The reason I want to try and bridge the screens is that on the 2 input source mode I can get 120hz per half of the widescreen, but if I went with one full screen it would be 60hz.

Looking to see if any applications Mac or PC can achieve this. Thank you

I have a question about Philips evnia 49”

I was thinking about getting one and I wanna know if this is the right choice

I’ve been watching reviews for what I think it is all the 49” oled high refresh rate monitors Because I really want a superwhide

And the evnia was the only one that no one really said anithing negative about it(that wasn’t a general think about superwhides) Like vertical space or you know what”to big”

My question is, for the ones that got a Philips evnia, are there any issues that I might be aware of ? Any inconveniences or stuff like that ? One complain I heard is that “it doesn’t feel premium” what does that mean ?

And do you know any other better recomandation “superwide oled high refresh rate” Considering that price isn’t an issue and the fact that I’m gonna use it for productivity mainly and gaming secondary

Cutscene fix for AC3 remastered?

I know this is an older game, and it does have widescreen cutscenes. However check the video below, you have to pause and go back because black bars appear. I originally posted it in nexusmods, but should have posted here to see if Rose had a small fix.

Are 3 screen setups for nvidia surround with oled and hdr still even viable?

Hey gang. I have used 3 screens for over 15 years and never encountered the issues I see today. Even a 4090 cannot drive 3 screens at 240 hertz each. And most monitors that are oled and have hdr are also widescreen,

I wanted to take advantage of a dell promo to upgrade from my three 5 year old venerable ROG Asus 27 inch that serve 7168 x 1440 to my games.

The choices are Alienware 34 inch curved Oled AW3423DWF and the 32 inch Alienware QD-oled AE3225QF.

The 32 inch uses dsc compression to achieve 240 hertz and limits you thus to only 2 monitors, as it requires 2 heads per monitor. I ma be able to get around it by uisng 120 hertz hdmi cables. Not sure what I am losing by going hdmi and not dp. But this monitor has no menu option to disable dsc.

The 34 inch is 175 hertz and no dsc, so I am sure I can light up all three. But nvidia surround compatibility is unknown.

I have three of each coming this week to test in the name of science.

But even if I get nvidia surround working on them, will games support the higher resolutions? Just now I finally got all my gams working with 7168 x 1440. .

Another mystery is whether either setup will allow surround to run at a lower resolution than native. Like 7168 x 1440.

It is starting to feel that 3 monitors is not going to be soon doable. Not even the 5090 can do 3 screens at 240.

What you all think?

Resident Evil 4 2005 32:9

Needing help with getting the game to run properly. Using FWS and i can either get the resolution to work correctly or the HUD, but not both for some reason. Game isnt playable either because the HUD is stretched and wonky or because I cant get the resolution to fix itself. For info im playing on 5120x1440 for the res.

Silent Hill 2 (remake) fix request

Hey, I would like to request a fix for Silent Hill 2 (remake).

  • The cutscenes are locked to 16:9, but I think they are in-game. It would be cool to see this fixed.
  • Cutscenes are locked to 30 fps. It would be great to see them unlocked.
  • 21:9 exclusive Panini Projection option is greyed out while using a 3840x1600 custom resolution on my TV, it's only available to my on my 3840x1600 monitor. Although it just basically zooms in the image, so it's not really useful.
