You probably already knew this but you will not need to run the HexEdit fix again until another update shows up.

Excellent. I realize an uploaded trainer and edited exe would be easier for people to use. I just do not have a way to share files that I feel good about right now.

kengol, Unfortunately as I have already stated in my earlier post I will not be uploading any files.

Dannyboy, I had to apply the HexEdit fix then the Cheat Engine fix in order for it to work on the latest version. Also in Cheat Engine make sure you use the new address "1433A7AC0". I hope that helps you or someone else. If not it was worth a try and I will reply back if I can think of anything else ...

It appears EA has added new entries into fifa16.exe. These are the steps I used to get 21x9 working again on FIFA 16 after the most recent update. I tried to include the whole process for sake of completeness. I am not going to create a trainer or upload any files but this is how you can fix it ...

These are the steps I used to get 21x9 working in both FIFA 15 and the FIFA 16 demo. For the FIFA 16 demo just replace fifa15.exe with fifa16_demo.exe. I am guessing the process works with the full version of FIFA 16 when it comes out.

Good find jaykop. This process works for me.

beris10, While this does not take into account any bezel correction 4240 / 1080 = 3.925925925925926. This is Hex code "40 7B 42 5F" which you would reverse and get "5F 42 7B 40". So you would replace every instance of "39 8E E3 3F" with "5F 42 7B 40" to get it to work in FIFA 15 using this process ...

I tried renaming the demo file and it was a no go. I also tried looking for other Hex entries in the exe that might be the cause. There were 2 additional entries in the demo that were replaced that are missing in the full version. It is as if they purposely removed them so we could not do 21x9. I ...

Unfortunately I have confirmed that this process does not work on the full version of FIFA 16. I am very disappointed with EA to say the least at this point. FIFA 15 greatly benefits from 21x9 IMHO. EA I want to "play beautiful" but you are preventing me.

Thanks for the fix.
Do you also know the hex code to search for 1680x1050 screens?

Sorry; I meant the code "to replace" for 1680x1050, not the code to search for.
In other words do you know the code for 16:10 monitors or the method to look for it?

Ok I edit and try to answer myself: the answer ...

wadood, I'll buy the game and download it tonight. I should know by tomorrow if the same process works. Fingers crossed.

I have not tried on FIFA 16 as it is not available to me yet but I will see if I can get it working once I have it. I have played FIFA 15 and online features work without issue for me. That said I can not guarantee that EA will not ban you for using this method.

No problem. Maybe we are missing something about how difficult it would be for developers to include 21x9 nativiely in their games but imho his makes FIFA so much better.

These are the steps I used to get 21x9 working in both FIFA 15 and the FIFA 16 demo. For the FIFA 16 demo just replace fifa15.exe with fifa16_demo.exe. I am guessing the process works with the full version of FIFA 16 when it comes out.

Yes I noticed the same process works on the FIFA 16 demo which also has the black bars. Hopefully it will work with the full version as well.

What is the value for 5985 x 1080? Happy to hex-edit it.

⋅ Calculate your aspect ratio
For example:
5985/1080 = 5.541666666666667
⋅ Convert it to hex value here - m
You get - 40 B1 55 55
Now write bytes from right to left, so it will be 55 55 B1 40

I am a fairly frequent visitor to these forums since buying an LG 34UM95 back in December 2014. I love the monitor but as everyone here knows some games are not optimized for its 21x9 aspect ratio. I created an account here so that I could post my success at hacking FIFA 15 to get it to display in ...
