Just wanted to mention to any folks who might be on the fence about this one.

I bought the game shortly after release. Hayden's fix worked perfectly. But game performance was so bad, I didn't play it.

There was a performance patch in December. I can attest, that on my system, in areas where I was getting 30 fps, I'm getting 60. I haven't dipped below 57 anywhere so far, several hours in. The opening scene with the rain is a good test. I used to get mid 30s here, now 60 (I force a cap with afterburner). Microstuttering is still an issue however, but overall performance is waaaay better than the release build, and I'm enjoying it now

Despite the patch, Hayden's fix still works perfectly, except I have to choose "windowed" in game, and use game companion to force borderless windows. Don't know why that's required, but it works.

I'm also using nvidia inspector with the settings listed on PCgamingwiki. Don't know if it's making a big difference, but it seems better (placebo?)

Surround 5888x1080, GTX 980sc SLI, i7 3770k @4.4

Just a heads up guys. The latest update that released today has broken the Flawless Widescreen plugin for The Evil Within. It is now outputting the following error code:

Configure function call for the attached process failed, retrying in 26 seconds...

Last Error:
Could not find LetterBoxFix2 injection point, The Evil Within may have updated to a version that is no longer supported.

Try restarting The Evil Within or selecting a different version and re-enable the fix.

:( /sigh

Another game that I will have to wait on now. Frustrating that the developers don't support this resolution as native and we have to fly on updates with FW to fix the issues.

Look forward to getting the updated fix as I really love this game especially in 21:9.

This game has been released quite a long time ago.
Not sure Hayden will want or have enough time to fix that.
He said he's already spent a lot on it.
Instead, could it be possible to downgrade the .exe of the game to a prior version and have it working this way?

So i managed to roll back to the previous update by replacing these two files.
evilwithin.exe (31648 kb)
and base\common.tangoresource file (42661 kb)

As any other files could have been updated i don't know if any flaw could happen but at least the game is starting wide screen.

Cheers
