3.19 and 3.19 latest patch





They fixed 21:9 just tested and i finally can paly the game.
"Adjusted the maximum supported aspect ratio to 12:5 (slightly larger than before, so that players that were very close to 21:9 don't get black bars)."

Previously it was possible to manually set the aspect ratio of the Path of Exile client to be very short and wide, allowing you to see an unintended amount of the level at once. A limit needed to be set. Because of server serialisation distances, this maximum aspect ratio is currently set to 21:9. This is the widest that we can currently go before we start hitting the cutoff where entities and effects vanish. We are looking at being able to increase this in the future.

This note was accidentally missed from the patch notes. We're very sorry for that oversight.


so who is lying here? BEX or yourself?
Have you seen this post a few days ago by BEX https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/wnor2x/in_this_expansion_theres_an_option_that_centres/

Does these two images looks same?

What we seeing today




So Bex plays with no Black Bars but we all get Black Bars also its not our fault some of us bought a better Monitor for a game we enjoy yet u remove the support for it because other users didn't like that we had a advantage nd because u claim the visual bugs were a problem yet none of us ever complained about it because it was a minor issue, I'm assuming most of the development team uses ultrawide I wonder if they have black bars as well or if unlike us they don't which makes no sense but the fact Bex has a screenshot of her with a ultrawide probably a Odyssey G9 nd it literally shows the centered UI option but when it came out oh we have black bars with the centered UI option so what happened that she posted screenshot of it yet the black bars are there for everyone on Ultrawide be it on 2560x1080 or higher resolution nd saying u forgot to put it in the patch notes yet when u did the Reveal Video nd showed everything that was getting added u literally showed the center UI option nd we didn't see any black bars ur really going to say that it is working as intended or supposed to be I have very small Black Bars on 2560x1080 its annoying to look at but not as bad compared to everyone else on a higher resolution this need to be fixed if I wanted to play with Black Bars on my screen I would go play Elden Ring with its no Ultrawide Support


Gonna continue to quote this to make sure they see Bex screen with new UI change on a ultrawide with no Black Bars nd a users screen with Black Bars in 3.19
I think GGG prefers we all quit and the business fails. thanks for the latest patch it did nothing
Revert this change GGG. Who the hell thought that would be a good idea??? A year ago I bought the Neo G9 for 2000€ only for PoE and I can't use it properly anymore!!!

Give us 32:9 support back!
Are there any way of force the black borders away? I run windowed mode so i see the icons and windows behind , and i hate this new change

I was looking into making it into a borderless window and sticking it on one side of the screen, while having discord/IRC/whatever else open on the remaining 1/3rd of the screen, but it just looks clunky on Windows 11 where you can't move the taskbar.

I honestly just want my immersion back. :(
how do i shot web
Tried to play whit the black bars , but i cant do it i keep focusing on the black bars.

You can find a community fix for it that will restore 32:9 support but I don't know if GGG will allow it long-term.
The 352nd character to hit Level 100 in Standard
The 82nd character to hit Delve 1000 in Standard

Can confirm that on 5120x1440 with the community patch, none of the behaviour claimed for this "fix" happens.

I don't see entities popping in existence at the edge of my screen and even then IF ( I stress the IF ) they do occur, they would be so much less annoying and disturbing than having two gigantic black bars on each side of the screen.

This decision is so much widely regarded as bad that a community patch has been made in what 4 days and working well.

Come on, don't continue forcing black bars down our throat and just admit it was a poor decision and revert it back.
