Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Both 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions work without any issues. 1280x720 and any resolution greater than it works in the game.

However, for some reason 4:3 is letter-boxed with black bars on top and bottom. To play in 4:3 without black bars, open fifa15.exe with XVI32 hex editor. Then search for "39 8E E3 3F" and there will be several of them. Replace all of them with "AB AA AA 3F" to remove black bars.

Menus, gameplay and cutscenes get Hor- but it works just like it should on a 4:3 monitor and doesn't hamper gameplay, cutscenes or menus.

Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues

See Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues and replace the hex codes with 21:9 Aspect Ratio values found here: http://www.wsgf.org/article/common-hex-values

No issues other than stretched HUDs and menus.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Open fifa15.exe with XVI32 hex editor. Then search for "39 8E E3 3F" and there will be several of them. Replace all of them with the hex values for multi-monitors listed here: http://www.wsgf.org/article/common-hex-values

The HUD and menus will be stretched. But cutscenes and gameplay work pretty well.

4k UHD Specific Solution & Issues

Works natively. HUDs scale properly.

But the level of depth of field gets lower at 4k. So there's less DOF blur. The more you increase the resolution, the lower it gets.
