- I made a toggle to disable the HUD centering. You can find it if you click on the little gear in WSF. By default the option is disabled.
You can grab the latest plugin from here:
http://3dsurroundgaming.com/WSF.html Requires:
WideScreen Fixer version 662.
You can download it from the same page(TOP of PAGE).
Install:
- Put the dll file in the "Plugins" folder of WideScreen Fixer.
- Start WSF (as Admin)
- Start game, once is started press "*" (numpad star) key to enable the fix.
Known issues:
- Do not use FOV keybinds with this fix. The FOV is automatically calculated. Using a different FOV than the fix provides will break the lining up of the UI.
- There might still be some scenes where the fov is not updated. (This game uses Dynamic FOV almost constantly and is hard for me to find all values).
- If the game glitches (like falling through the floor - Episode 2 "Shoot bottles" encounter) disable the fix and reload the last checkpoint (Is so much one can do).
Cheers! Let me know if is working
Hi there Heliax!

I can confirm that the halifax fix with widescreen fixer makes the game crash. I started today the game and yet found no way to remove the black bars.
I play in 2560x1080, steam version with original exe

Same issue here.
For such an immersive game, its damaged by the lack of support the developers have given it for multi and 21:9
Hopefully Halifax can find the time to take another look.

Solution for 21:9: FOV via ini edit & Aspect ratio via HEX edit.
Aspect Ratio: Go to ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Life Is Strange\Binaries\Win32LifeIsStrange.exe
Look for this Hex Code: 39 8E E3 3F and change it to your Aspect Ratio. for example CD 90 18 40 (21:9)
FOV: Go to C:\Users\....\Steam\steamapps\common\\Life Is Strange\LifeIsStrangeGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini
Add this Lines under [Engine.PlayerInput]
+Bindings=(Name="Q",Command="FOV 83.93"

I updated the fix last month and is working perfectly fine here (Steam ONLY - last patch). Don't know, don't care about 21:9, so you are on your own there...
What I do care is Tripple Screen (Eyefinity/Surround)

Hello guys, im about to take this game on steam for my wife, i was trying to run the demo on 3840x1024(3x1 Landscape) and even using the WSF(Fixer) with the profile you guys suggested, the game opens without UI, it seems isnt recognizing resolution or something,...black borders remains ... Is that workinh on full version only? Did i forgot something, ini editing maybe?
Helps are appreciated

Sounds like the fix was inactive, did you press "*" ?
Or you can try
the hex edit posted by czarman: in Win32LifeIsStrange.exe search 398EE33F and replace with 00007040 to remove the black bars.

Hey guys, I'm new to ultrawide and I've never had to tinker with this stuff before. Could someone please tell me how to search for a hex code? I've found the exe, but I don't know what to do from there...

First off, you need a hex editor. There are thousands free hex editors out there, I use Notepad++ with the Hex plugin.
Then in the exe file you do a simple search/replace like you would in a text editor but instead of words, you use the hexadecimal bits posted by czarman.
The FOV edit is done in an .ini file, so it's a simple text edit this time around. Add the line, save and close. Then press Q to fix the FOV in-game.
Hope it helps

I'm trying to remove letter boxing for the current game version 1.0.0.397609 with no luck. Neither Hex editing (czarman's method) nor widescreen fixer (with plugin by helifax) removes black bars. Is it because game got updated, can anyone please confirm?

Hello. Does not work for me. The game can't launch after I changed the values in HxD (error 0xc0000142). Tried two times. How can I solve this ? Thank you.

I just tried it out with the latest Steam Version and it worked like described:
Hex edit 39 8E E3 3F --> CD 90 18 40 and add the FOV Line in the LifeIsStrangInput.ini

Hi, does anyone know if these hex values are the same for 3440x1440p? (or if not what values I should use). Thanks. UPDATE: Same values seem to work! (fingers crossed;)

Installing Life is Strange a few days ago for the first time (all DLSc), I ofc ran into the same issue: 16:9 was only showing, black bars left and right.
For some reason, I could not get the exe files offered here to work with my 34" Asus @ 3440x1440.
However - in case anyone else has a similar problem - I was provided with an exe file @
http://steamcommunity.com/app/319630/di ... 076310932/ which does work (supposedly for all episodes; am in the middle of episode 3 currently, so far no issues). 3440x1440 in all its beauty!
Cheers

Hi guys,
Any news of a similar fix for the latest "Before the Storm" episodes? I've confirmed that the WSF fix no longer works - not really a surprise since the game now uses Unity instead of Unreal.
Any help is much appreciated.
