Dead by Daylight is an asymmetric survival horror video game.
A group of survivors – anywhere from one to four players (typically four) – must elude one player who is the killer in an enclosed area at night which will either be a secluded forest, an abandoned junkyard, a decrepit cornfield, a haunted asylum, a dark swamp or the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois. The survivors’ perspectives are third-person, while the killer’s perspective is first-person.

Solutions & Issues
There are virtually no cutscenes, although a major game update may greet the player with a short FMV, and every match as a survivor starts with a quick rotation around the character. These are 16:9 anamorphic.
It used to be possible to switch the game to vertical field of view via a config edit, however, an update in 2017 patched it out.
A setting introduced in March 2022 makes it possible to switch between pillarboxing to 16:9 and vert-, however, all menu screens remain vert- irrespective of the state of the option.
The game also uses Easy Anti-Cheat, preventing attempts to modify it for better scaling.
As in ultra-wide, the 3D view of the menu screens is vert- at all times and the UI elements are spanned. The characters' heads are out of the view, making it impossible to preview any of the head customization items and some other cosmetics at 48:9.
The gameplay is also vert-, making the game effectively unplayable unless the 16:9 aspect ratio is enabled under Graphics, which makes the view and the HUD pillarboxed to 16:9.
