General Discussion - POE2 - 32:9 monitors (5120x1440) without bars?? - Forum

Hi, will Path of Exile 2 finally support 32:9 monitors (5120x1440) without bars again?? At worst, if they have to be, will they at least be a lot smaller, not like the monstrosity in PoE1? Thanks in advance for the info. Light Last bumped on Jan 15, 2025, 1:59:55 AM	Posted by Lightofstorm#4671 on Nov 21, 2024, 5:34:40 PM Quote this Post
no For the same reasons they dropped support first time round. Ancestral Bond. It's a thing that does stuff. -Vipermagi He who controls the pants controls the galaxy. - Rick & Morty S3E1	Posted by lagwin1980#2224 on Nov 21, 2024, 7:37:55 PM Quote this Post
So there is an official statement or is this just a supposition?	Posted by The_Nilex#7609 on Nov 22, 2024, 9:59:06 AM Quote this Post

I don't think anybody from GGG has said yet, but honestly there's no reason to believe that GGG would have a different stance regarding POE2 than they did POE1. They removed support for it long ago not due to any performance reason but because the wide FOV didn't work with POE's camera angle and how much of the map they want us to see at any one time. - here's my sig	Posted by AcrylicHercules#1220 on Nov 23, 2024, 7:04:17 PM Quote this Post

In the final analysis, I guess I have no choice but to wait for 6.12. and find out (maybe some streamer will have this monitor) the reality...

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. You're not getting more than 21:9. It is time to let go.

Thanks for info. How old is this post? Unfortunately playing and seeing only 67% of the monitor area is totally discouraging.... realistically, in Poe1 you can set it to 2560x1440, so the only way to play is in (this 21:9) windowed mode. It's a shame for such a high quality game.	Posted by Lightofstorm#4671 on Nov 26, 2024, 4:32:21 PM Quote this Post
I hope never will. 5120x1440 is like cheat code.	Posted by Elua#0230 on Nov 26, 2024, 4:33:48 PM Quote this Post
