About the FOV there is a fix posted on this page by l0wb1t

http://fearlessrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9243

I created a table with only this script and uploaded it, in case you find it easier (you need to install Cheat Engine 6.x first)

Like i said i didn't write this script l0wb1t did, so thanks him if you want to, not me.

Thanks. It works online as well, although it might become bannable if the devs decide to start cracking down on the abundance of people that use other hacks to gain an unfair advantage. Keith of PCGamingWiki also uploaded the CT there.

Using the modified exe breaks online. Am I the only one?

Are you sure it's the latest exe, not one you might have had from before?

I can confirm online mode is not connecting anymore after modifying latest executable with your patcher.
Widescreen without black bars works fine though, but only offline:(

wwzRetailEgs.exe file version: 0.1.0.13120
md5 prior patch: 0A669A62FFFC13CDEBAF97A0EED23DF0
md5 after patch: 71A6BBFA148E53BA6B6CCE0D0ECB60F8

**edit**
found the issue
Never launch the exe directly, always start the game via Epic Launcher, then you'll be fine & online even with latest uws pached one

Cheers,
Nord

In my experience (also from Metro Exodus) you will indeed have to launch the game through the Epic Launcher, but only once after every patch. After that one time, I can successfully launch the game through the .exe (this was for Metro Exodus though, I always use the shortcut that got placed on my desktop for WWZ, not the .exe directly).

Hello, is it possible to get an update for version 1.03 please ?

Or just tell us how to patch the *.exe of the game please ? thanks a lot

Just use his posted patcher from page 2 of this thread

Just wanted to add a huge thank you for all the work you guys do in this Forum!
Makes playing Ultra-Widescreen so much more fun!

An FOV slider is in the works:

"Other major upgrades in development for further free updates include a wave-based survival mode, private lobbies, the ability to switch classes during PvPvZ matches, field of view (FOV) and level of detail sliders on PC, and more. Stay tuned to learn more about our upcoming updates!"

Amazing news hey! Once they add the FOV slider and with your fix the game will be perfect and also the private servers etc that they have planed.

What a time to be alive thanks again for your new fixes.

My game crashed on chapter 3: epi3 with the ultrawide fix, works fine with original exe, any updated version of this fix?

For some reason the game has been downgraded from 1.05 to 1.04. I'll make the 1.04 version the main one, although it was still accessible through the changelog feature of the PCGamingWiki Files.

The patcher works with both versions and hopefully will work with future versions.

The patcher gives me a different version number of the game/.exe, which results in me not being able to invite people or join people. The fixed .exe works fine.

The patcher has no effect on version numbers or any bytes apart from the few required to remove the pillarboxing.
The inability to invite friends is a common issue among the ones reported, and has nothing to do with it.

Even the devs recognize it as a game issue.

I had a different version as a friend of mine displayed in the debug info on the main menu (Properties of the .exe still showed 1.06 though). Restoring the original .exe gave me the same version as my friend, and the altered .exe as well.

Probably just a 'fluke' on my end though, as I can imagine that if the patcher really was the culprit, there would be a lot more reports here. Anyways, I can play the game just fine online in 21:9, will try the patcher again after the next update of the game/when needed.

The update is out now, and the FOV slider is included as promised.
I updated the patcher and the mod.

Rose I downloaded the updated patcher. However when I try to extract it my Windows Defender won't run the .exe because it says it has a virus. Any idea why it is doing that?

The virus it is detecting is labeled as "Program:Win32/Unwaders.A!ml

The AV software likely sees it as a file unknown to the system, so it blocks it as part of its heuristics algorithm. Anyone can add it to the list of exclusions, as we discussed on Discord.

Patcher worked flawlessly, have been enjoying the new Tokyo level in 21:9. Thanks!

Thanks this fix is awsome and works really well. Does anyone know if i can get rid of these watermark stuff on the bottom of the screen? so irritating

Patcher doesnt work on the new version 1.21. To be honest, seeing as how the fix of Rose has been working so far, I would have thought 21:9 support would have been added in an official patch already. Rose's fix is practically flawles, and his fix was already available almost immediately after release.

I updated the exe as soon as I got the update, which was an hour ago, then updated the patcher just now.
I made it into a permanent solution, so hopefully this is the last time you'll need me to deliver.

Oh, hot damn, did not even check your post with the fixes in it as I did not expect you to have them updated not even an hour after release. Thanks! Great work again! Lets hope the devs will add 21:9 support soon, but in the mean time: Thank you very much for the work!

This is a great fix! Enabled triple monitor support. Works fine in DX11 but the image is stretched across all three screens with VULKAN enabled.
