Read Full Detailed Report - Life Is Strange

Maxine may not be the most popular girl on the campus, but she's got a gift: rewinding time to rethink choices, undo mistakes, avert bad consequences. Suddenly caught in Arcadia Bay's tangle of secrets, only she can see that the whole city is on the brink of disaster... Life Is Strange is an episodic third-person adventure with an emphasis on atmosphere and the long-term effects of Max's actions. The story should be complete by July, 2015 although no official release date was announced for any of the remaining episodes.

The original image is 6060x1200, which would indicate 3x 1920x1200 monitors with bezel correction enabled.
3x1 does not represent an aspect ratio like 4:3, 5:4, 16:10, 16:9, 21:9 but rather an array of 3 monitors wide by 1 monitors tall.

Screenshots taken and submitted by various users for 3x1 are never the same aspect ratio in terms of exact pixel size like 1920x1080 is as many users have different bezel widths and monitor resolutions, as such we do not claim this to be any fixed ratio, but rather an array of 3x1 monitors, be that non-wide screen, wide screen or ultra-wide screen.

Hope this clears up any confusion.

The lastest patch has stopped 21:9 from working properly. The game now adds black bars on the sides to use 16:9 resolution.

Yes this is extremely annoying. I refuse to play episode 3 until it gets fixed.

[scavvenjahh]

Dang. Thanks for the heads-up.

I spoke to zens here on the forum. He is the guy that helped out with issues with the Wither 3. He made me this .exe fix, which removes the black bares in 2560x1080:

How does this fix work? Where do I run it? Does it work for 3440x1440?

Replace the fixed .exe with your .exe and just run the game. Not sure if it will work for 3440x1440, but please report back and let us know.

Yeah, ok, I'm an idiot.

Thanks, I'll definitely post what I find out.

Here goes.

Menus are working.
Previous chapter recap, not working (I'm guessing it's a prerender).
Chapter intro, not working (same reason).
In-game works just fine. FOV seems quite narrow, though.
Phone menu interface is stretched (which I think is unfixable).
The icons flying all over the place is now fixed when compared to the previous ini-edit, so that is great.

for getting this fix out!

[Wijkert]

I played with a fov of a 100, although I must say that it didn't feel like it. Her is a link to the wiki page to help you add fov values to the function keys:

.exe fix now doesn't seem to be working since patch for episode 4.

[brandnew70x7]

I can't get this fix to work, I tried looking through a resource editor but can't find a difference between the patched one and this. The black bars are driving me nuts.

[Northmountain]

Yup, we definitely need another fix.

[BlackWaves]
