32:9 ultra wide support gone!



same in windowed if you stretch i get blackbars and text seems muddy
So i'm not gonna play PoE until 32:9 back. I was hype for this new season and was really happy to play but, i'm just frustrated now. Bye Path of Exile and if it's release to late in season it's a real bye until PoE 2.
Yet one more POE player with a 32:9 Ultra Wide ... Will not be playing or spending on packs until its fixed.
Worst change ever! Why do you remove this from us! I did not even notice the issue while playing league after league after league. Now the functionality is gone and also my fun is gone. I won't support you any further if this functionality is not coming back...

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.


I am more than disappointed about this. Worst league start since Delirium, cause you simply removed a proper working feature. I have played each league with this since it got released and NEVER had any problems of what you describe.

This should be a top priority, far more important than anything else you have on your plate, considering how it was working for all the builds I have played.
Nobody wants to play potato Diablo 2 Resurrected resolution.

Now I have serious buyers regret, having bought a pack prior league start.
This is something I would have never suppported.

This is one of the worst, most bafflingly bad decisions you guys have made in many years. You guys literally chose to break something that was working perfectly, for no real reason.

It ruins the game for anyone playing on a setup wider than 21:9.

I'm not playing PoE anymore and will happily give my money to Diablo 4 if you guys don't fix this.
The 352nd character to hit Level 100 in Standard
The 82nd character to hit Delve 1000 in Standard

I'd rather play sentinel league with ultra wide than what we got now.
They just don't realize how grave the impact is on the field of vision for someone who is used to a big curved screen. Earlier today everything was fine, now it literally turned into horse****.
Fix it ASAP. lol maybe you will change your game to 3:2 and 640x480 pixels? Let's go back to 2000 or maybe 1995? Black bars after so many seasons!! xaxaxaxaxax. I am 21:9 and i have black bars!!!

I didn't even start to level when I noticed the support was gone. I don't want to play a game that does not support 32:9 (for no reason). I would understand if this would be a competitive shooter or something but this is actually a Hack and Slay! Bring back the 32:9 support!
Fix it please! We wanna our 32:9 back >:|
