Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

Native anamorphic support. On the launcher, set Display Mode to Fullscreen then select your resolution. All graphics settings are also available in-game. An FOV slider is present (default 97, range 60-120; horizontal FOV).

Use Flawless Widescreen to get rid of the black bars in 16:10. Check 'Remove Letterbox', uncheck 'FOV Fix' & 'HUD Fix'.

Ultra/Super-Wide Specific Solution & Issues:

Flawless Widescreen. Apparently the hack has no effect if Texts are set to Polish ! It works with Polish Voices, though.

"Inner eye" visions stretch. They're mostly transitions to Hor+ gameplay/cut-scenes.
HUD Fix has no effect on UWS. Magnified font results in some menu items being pushed off the screen, but they're still accessible using keys/controller.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues:

Flawless Widescreen. Apparently the hack has no effect if Texts are set to Polish ! It works with Polish Voices, though.

"Inner eye" visions stretch.
Outstanding UI issues: fade-to-black transitions and menus are constrained to the left screen, some minor 2D elements stretch.
