Any word on the support for 32:9 resolutions?

Hi there,

Back in the Lake of Kalandra league, the support for 32:9 resolutions was removed, leaving players with native 32:9 monitors with black bars on the sides. The communication was that the team would look into expanding the support back at some point in the future, but since then we haven't had any communication on the matter.

I currently own the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 monitor, which has a native 32:9 resolution (5120x1440), and PoE looks very bad on it due to the black bars. See picture:



Is it possible to get some clarity on the topic, and set the the expectations right about possible timelines? PoE is a great game, but in this aspect is falling behind the competition in this aspect.

Thank you, and have a great day!

I bought my Samsung G9 because of Path of Exile then when they removed it I was like woah (Pikachu Meme)

where did you get this.


The problem is always due to monster will not spawn or move when the resolution ratio is reaching certain extreme , so that it is a hard no for supporting 32:9, and in the past you are able do that to peer those area, was actually exploiting

"We are looking at being able to increase this in the future."

As for exploiting due to the enemies not spawning or being not responsive, I personally have never encountered such situation. 32:9 was never glitchy in PoE. I'm not sure about wider resolutions (such as 48:9), but I can say that 32:9 has been always fine with all content in the game.

You do however see more. That's the entire point of ultrawide: immersion.

D4 supports 27:9 (or 3:1) which is better than 21:9 but not quite 32:9. That's already better than the current situation of PoE, which adds black bars already after 21:9.

Last Epoch on the other hand fully embraces 32:9 resolutions, and it's beautiful.

No way the devs will invest on POE 1 to add back to display all monster in 32:9.........I always said it was bug exploit to peek the "out of bound" area


For POE 2, we will know soon.....

OK, I'm a bit late to the party, having just upgraded from 21:9 to the G9 OLED 32:9 and super disappointed that the only game I want to play does not support this.

Whatever the reason, be it rendering, unfair advantage, etc, can we at least make a feature request to be able to use the current black bar space for something else, eg. left and right inventory/stash/character screen/map or anything else?

Thanks
