Ok, so I have figured out a way to get stretched image until we get patch from devs.
Im running a 3440x1440 monitor, and here is what I did:
1. go to C:\Users\(((your user name)))\AppData\Local\Saber\WWZ\client\storage
2. open video.dat with notepad.
3. Change to "WindowSizeX": 2560 and "OutputSizeX": 2560 instead of 3440 , and save.
4. In nvidia panel I go to desktop size and position (mine is in Swedish so I translated)
5. Scaling: Fullscreen , save.
6. Run game, should be in 2560x1440 , stretched.

Lets hope we get patch sooner than later from devs. They have it on the "to-do-list" apperantly.

Could you post a few screenshots for us to see how bad/ok it looks please ?

I've had the game since its release but I avoided playing it or trying anything, hoping for the devs to release an update. It's only today that I decided to disassemble the exe and look into it. Took me about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the pillarboxing.

Download the modified exe here, put it in WorldWarZ\en_us\client\bin\pc\ and overwrite.

Alternatively, try out this patcher that should work with every version:

Temped to try it though, but I am a little worried that this might get you banned or something, even though I have no idea what kind of anti cheat WWZ has (if any).

Thanks for this, but could you explain the method you used to do it ?
As there is already a new version 1.01 with some fixes, and it won't be the last patch :mrgreen:

acecel, as far as I know, version 1.01 was the launch version. There's no universal way of achieving ultrawide support across different engines.

Evil_Raven, you don't need to upload the .exe anymore. I have had the game since its release. I also updated the comment shortly after the "1.02" hotfix came out. Thank you for the gorgeous screenshots though!

I have some news from Discord as well, now that I'm finally able to post here without getting timed out:
