A suspected conflict between a third-party module we use and the core framework caused errors when trying to register on our website. This has been resolved.

Our old-school members Delphium and Zencyde recently shared photos of their WSGF magnets from around 2012. The WSGF was founded in Texas, while some staff members are in the UK. #WSGF #UK #Texas

New update for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire includes official widescreen support. Though it is explicitly announced as imperfect, our community would take that over no ultrawide (and wider) support. Other developers should take note. store.steampowered.com/news/app/241...

We are looking for people who could provide screenshots of the most recent Call of Duty games in 32:9 or wider, as well as screenshots of the same view in 16:9. This would benefit our website and the whole widescreen community. Please come to Discord to discuss. #ultrawide

It is a good week in ultrawide gaming. Lyall released a mod for Death Stranding 2, while mana2000 documented a way to enable 32:9 support in Diablo 2: Resurrected, available on our Discord. If anyone would like to extend that to our website, the door is open! #ultrawide #gaming

As with every major game that has flawed ultrawide and wider support, Resident Evil Requiem has resulted in a noticeable increase of activity on our Discord. Praydog's REFramework already allows to remove the black bars - https://github.com/praydog/REFramework-nightly #ultrawide #ResidentEvil

On a podcast from yesterday, our friends GOG talked about their Preservation Program and mentioned absent ultrawide support as one of the signs of game deterioration (as noted by our community member Phantom). #GOG #gaming #ultrawide

“To be perfectly honest, it’s harder than we thought it would be,” he says. “There’s like 3,000 games on GOG that we created the base of over the years. And when we started the Preservation Program, we wanted to take the next step and to have all of those games refreshed and switched to our newest tools and solutions. And to give them a lifetime guarantee: as long as GOG exists, we’ll keep maintaining those games on the platform. What that practically means is that you should buy the game today, launch it in 10 years on your modern PC, and it will work. We are guaranteeing that with the Preservation Program.

“But what we’ve found out is that the games and how they work has deteriorated way faster than what we thought. And we are not talking only about the game not launching. We are talking about more subtle things as well, like the game not supporting modern controllers, or the game not supporting ultra-widescreen or modern resolutions, or even a simple thing like being able to minimalize the game, which is an essential feature today. Modern gamers expect to be able to minimalize the game and then to bring it up without issues.”

The aim was to have 500 games in the program by the end of the year, but it’s now likely to be between 300 and 350.

Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition, the non-VR version of Alien: Rogue Incursion, released today. According to its developer, the game supports ultrawide resolutions, though we have not independently verified this yet. #Alien #gaming #ultrawide

Hi there,

We can confirm that Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition includes ultrawide support.

    Note: Ultrawide resolution may not be applied by default on launch, but can be adjusted manually through the in-game graphics settings. The game has been tested on multiple common ultrawide monitor resolutions.

If you run into any problems on launch day, please email support@survios.com so our support team can assist you!

Borderlands 4 is another game set to have ultrawide support. The latest 2K games have protection from tampering, significantly limiting the games' modding capabilities, so the extent of native ultrawide support might be crucial here. #Borderlands #PCGaming #ultrawide
