FIFA 16 21:9 Fix

[tommack]

Hi All,

FIFA 16 is released within the next few days and we can 100% expect no support for 21:9 widescreens.

So here are the fixes that work on the demo and will work with the main game upon release.

I understand that i am reiterating information from bdjace's post on FIFA15, but knowing some people, they wont understand that the FIFA15 fix will also work on FIFA 16. So credit to bdjace and jackfuste for the incredible work.

1. Create a back-up of the FIFA16.exe or FIFA16_demo.exe.

2. Download HxD Hex Editor in your chosen language from here http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD

3. Install and open HxD and using the Ctrl+O shortcut, navigate to the FIFA16.exe or FIFA16_demo.exe executable and open it.

4. Once open, use Ctrl+R shortcut to open the "Replace" dialogue

5. In the SEARCH field, enter "39 8E E3 3F".

5a (3440x1440). If you're using 3440x1440 21:9, enter "8E E3 18 40" into the REPLACE WITH field.

5b (2560x1080). If you're using 2560x1080 21:9, enter "26 B4 17 40" into the REPLACE WITH field.

6. Change the "DATATYPE" drop-box to HEX-VALUES and click REPLACE ALL.

7. Finally, save your changes with Ctrl+S and exit HxD.

This fix will not affect any online gameplay or get classed as a "bannable tweak", this is a simple change to the EXE. The menu's and in-game HUD do appear slightly stretched, but the actual visuals of the game appear as normal.

For other resolutions, please consult the original post or leave a comment and I can insert additional steps for that resolution.

Doesn't work for the final release of FIFA 16, tested now but still get black bars. Worked fine on the Demo. Very disappointing,

[baxenko]

FIFA 16 not support 21:9 aspect ratio. I refound money.

[Nelly D Racer]

Hopefully someone here can find a different fix for it, I've just started pre-loading it from Origin

[cohletrain]

Unless they fix it on their own; It's EA, it's EA Sports, and it's an issue that's been there since 21:9 and since Fifa 15 first came, which was 2494854 years ago if my calculations are correct. I wouldn't rate the chances that high of them fixing this. Although kudos for starting a process!

What do you say we start a process of our own? We gather more fans from the other Fifa forums to this topic=more complaints. We keep fiddling with own fixes. I'm a web developer but know virtually nothing about Hex-codes, but I'll do my best. Also, we get hold of people that might know how to fix it, and offer them incentive in form of payment. I'm willing to pay up if you guys are. 10£/$/€ will amount to quite much if there are several of us. What do you say? Fifa 16 without black bars needs to happen.

[baxenko]

can write a petition?
I am also willing to pay

[Hammerark]

Me too, I'll pay to get this fixed. It's crazy that they took it out in the first place.

[cohletrain]

I meant asking someone who knows how to fix it to do a home fix, like the hex-edit thing by Jackfuste-something. I'll contact him and ask him if it's doable for money. We better start asking around

[Kostek14]

This is fucking horrible. It is even possible they screw this intencionally? I have found out that when you modify demo.exe there are 5 changed strings when in full version exe there are only 3 changes. So I think we are talking about those two missing lines that they are changes from demo


please share your thoughts on this topic https://fifaforums.easports.com/en/discussion/87351/fifa-16-problem-aspect-ratio-21-9-ultrawide?new=1

by the way i didn't write this i found it on the EA forum i just thought i would share and maybe someone in here can get a permanent fix ...by the way i have followed these steps below and they worked .....

Using 'Cheat Engine', solved the 21:9 problem. Thank you for R.F.A
However, this method is a little uncomfortable.

1. Download the Cheat Engine. http://www.cheatengine.org/downloads.php
2. Run the game with ultra-widescreen resolutions.
3. Run the Cheat Engine
4. Click the 'Open Process' and select 'fifa16.exe'
5. 'Open' Click
6. 'Hex' checks
7. Enter '3FE38E39' in 'Value' and 'First Scan' click
8. Double Click 'Adress 14339D5B0'
9. Change Value '4018E38E' (3440X1440) or '4017b426' (2560 * 1080)
10. It will change the aspect ratio of the game

This method must be done every time you run the game.

Thank you jaykop this gave me hope that soon someone will find permanent fix

[Nelly D Racer]

Thanks Jaykop I'll give this a try tomorrow, apart from the lack of ultrawide support I've found the game runs much smoother than the previous games and graphically it's a huge improvement. Only issue I've had so far is online play, the lag is horrendous

[baxenko]

It works. You can create trainer.

NIce find! This sounds like something that could get you banned in online play though.. No?

[Hammerark]

It works great and the game now looks like it should on an ultrawide monitor. I wouldn't risk going online with it though but that's no biggy as I don't play Fifa online at all. Thanks for sharing jaykop, great find.

[mikeone]

Hello,

the trick worked however the game play in windowed mode because i can't modified the hex value without minimizing the game.
can someone help me about that.

Reagards

[OsirisWake]

I've went through every step on cheat engine and It won't work. After step 9 am i meant to save it or something?

I'm really considering selling my ultrawide for a 4k monitor. I love the extra FOV but I'm just getting tired of the lack of support. It's becoming a joke to be honest.

[Kostek14]

Try tapping left_alt+enter after last step. But firstly activate FIFA 16 window. In fact you could even close CheatEngine after all.

[CrAzYLuKe]

5. In the SEARCH field, enter "39 8E E3 3F"

What a pitty, I can't find the entry! Did anyone also faced this issue?

[bobrix]

I can found value but it doesn't work, probably Ea cut it down to pieces. In Fifa 15 i could force fifa to run even in a 400x300 window using windowed borderless gaming program. In fifa 16 it cant scale or change the size of a window.

Edit:
Ok it works, im dumb
For 4:3 replace with 3FAAAAAB and bam fullscreen. Wrong value will crash the game and you have to start game windowed change value, hit alt-enter or maximize window.

Edit2:
Ok i created simple changer with CE, should work.
