So I got Cheat Engine and starting grabbing some values for 3400x1440.... and I don't know what to do from there.
I'm basically clawing at thin air here.

I did all the tutorials Cheat Engine threw at me, though I'm not use if those would help in some way.

Did you find any solution?
I was also trying to fix the aspect ratio for 16:10 but I do not get it

I've been trying to fix this as well (mostly through brute force), but it seems the aspect ratio pointer jumps around in the code (address doesn't seem to stay the same on every game launch, so the only option is to look for it manually every time you launch the game)

I will explain how I did it in case anyone's interested.

Basically start cheat engine and the game. Open the game's process with cheat engine.

First, to remove the black bars you can find the screen width at address 7FF68FDBB360 (use the add address manually button) and change the value to your desired screen width (2560 for me), but this of course stretches the screen.

Now set the value type to double and do a scan for 1.7777. Then select a few of the values found and change these to the value of your aspect ratio (2.388888891 for 21:9).
If nothing changes in the game, revert the values back to what they were.
If the aspect ratio gets fixed, revert all the values as well and start changing the values individually to find the one that controls the aspect ratio (and then only change that one to the value for your aspect ratio).

This is what I ended up with.

The Menus are stretched and it looks like the pixels are horizontally stretched as well. The original fix had 3 resolutions that needed to be modified and I've only found 1 yet.

However, I'm sadly giving up at this point.
Needing to search for the proper address for the aspect ratio on every launch is simply too much of a hassle.

I wish to donate 0.01 BTC to anyone who able to make easy to use 21:9 aspect ration fix (2560x1080 in my case) for GE3 v1.40. I don't care for stretched menus if it will be the only issue. Black bars make me sick.

I want to share with @everyone an issue that has beset the WSGF over the last week or so. Google has decided that the files we host (exe files, patchers, etc.) are malware. Thus, they have flagged the entire WSGF as hosting and/or linking malware, which inhibits site access and search rankings.

Both the WSGF and our older media server (WSGF Media dot com) have been flagged. We have found a solution for our hosted files, via our friends at PC Gaming Wiki. However, we still have an issue with the forums linking to the old WSGF Media server.

There is no feasible way to go through the forums and edit the possible thousands of posts that reference the WSGF Media server. And there is absolutely no guarantee that Google won't ping some future post attachment and flag the entire site again.

The forums are much quieter today then they used to be, with just 1 or 2 active posts per day on average, on top of this we continue to have issues with bots or humans creating accounts to post spam. Additionally, the forums have hampered our ability to enable HTTPS and update the site to be more modern and mobile friendly.

The internet itself has also shifted, with sites like Reddit and services like Discord, YouTube and Twitch being where most discussion happens. Given all of the above we are exploring the idea of "archiving" the forums into their own domain so that everything could be read, but no new posts or accounts could be created. We would then direct all new discussion to a Reddit community and/or our Discord server, which we hope will make discussing and working on fixes more practical.

We are really at a crossroads where the forums have gone from being a minor or moderate inhibitor to growth of the WSGF, to now a major roadblock (thanks to Google). We need a road forward, and wanted to reach out to the community to socialize the issue and our ideas, and to get your feedback.

I'd love to hear your feedback in our Discord Server - https://discord.gg/FcVYWgh
