I can confirm this works with version 1.12 and the launch of Shadow of the Erdtree. You may need to go back and rename the protected file again which I explain in the video and below but after that Ultrawide, FPS unlock, FOV adjustments all appear to be working.

Go to the Steam library location where you installed Elden Ring.

Go to steamapps > ELDEN RING > game.

Rename start_protected_game.exe to something else. (I added "_original" to the end of the file name.)

Make a copy of elden_ring.exe.

Rename this newly made copy to start_protected_game.exe.

Run the game through Steam as normal.

Funny thing is that when I first started playing after the DLC update, the game ran flawlessly in ultrawide without any mods. After a few seconds, post processing loads in and adds the black bar.

So yes, Elden Ring does support Ultrawide. They just decided to add the black bars.

[RichardGming]

Genuinely baffles me that they intentionally restrict the ultrawide support, its right there, like, in the game files, and they black bar it

[_SkaffaH]

it actually does support ultrawide, it renders the frames in ultrawide, but they put blackbars over it in post processing :) cuz fuck us

The worst part about this is that Elden Ring DOES technically support ultrawide, the game is rendering in full 21:9 but the blackbars are added on top. Insane.

damn finally was able to get this game to work with ultrawide and damn it looks amazing on a qd oled

[partyofjuan]

Thank you for the tutorial my guy. I just got my ultra wide monitor and it works amazing!

[maolcogi]

Damn ... followed the steps exactly. "Inappropriate activity detected."

[mrbyam]

Finally, I can play. Imagine how horrible it looked with the black bars on a 35in ultrawide. Thank you

[oldaccount]

[Liam-ornm]

Your amazing man, I fixed it thanks to your instructions! Thank you brother

[carlosc]

Is this not working for anyone else? Ive tried the options he said

[medival]

As soon as I changed from Fullscreen to Borderless Window it finally worked for me

[TheRealJunie]

Finally! a guide that works, thank you! <3

If flawless widescreen stops working after the patch make sure to go back and rename the files again. I'm told that should get it working again.

[jethex]

this method previously worked for me, however, now when I rename the eldenring exe, to start_protected_game, it changes its icon the EAC one. which also starts as soon as I boot the game. cant seem to disable it at all.

[MTHE-jj]

Thanks for this, works perfectly fine for me, just not for online as you also mentioned in the video

[SmokeMondayy]

no matter what i do i get this error in FW Could not find AspectRatio injection point, Elden Ring may have updated to a version that is no longer supported.

Try restarting Elden Ring or selecting a different version and re-enable the fix.

[luizbarros]

Works perfectly in super ultra wide 32x9. Thank you!

[MrPooBTW]
