Could not get it to work

Describe the Issue

I tried to unlock ultrawide resolutions (21:9), but I could not get this to work. I only did as described: 1. Downloaded the latest release from [here] (the 'MGSVFix_v0.0.2.zip' file). 2. Extracted the contents of the release zip to the game installation folder. I did not do anything else. Launched the game and it did not have any ultrawide effect. The resolution stayed 16:9. No new options were unlocked in graphics settings.

I do not have an ultrawide monitor. I am trying this on a 16:9 monitor.

It is worth mentioning that this is the first time I am trying anything from GitHub. So I may not know the first thing about how to make things work.

I also noticed you credited Ultimate ASI Loader, inipp, spdlog and safetyhook. Should I have done something with these tools or anything?

Now that you know the circumstances, where did it go wrong? How do I get this to work?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Downloaded the latest release (MGSVFix_v0.0.2.zip' file).
2. Extract 'MGSVFix_v0.0.2.zip' to the game installation folder.
3. Launch the game.

I don't believe MGSVFix creates any additional resolutions. Ultrawide resolutions are detected and created by the game, but they're not available to the user. The resolutions that the game detects are the ones that your graphics adapter presents to the game, and because you're using a 16:9 monitor, they're all going to be 16:9 and common 4:3 aspect ratios. You might be able to create a custom resolution with CRU or your GPU software, then force the game to run in that resolution via the config file, but I don't recommend it if you're not tech savvy

Also, please don't comment on other peoples' issues asking for help- Github is not a forum

What @tovc said is entirely correct. MGSVFix only unlocks the resolution list so that it's not limited to specific aspect ratios. If the resolution isn't in your display's list, then it won't show up in-game. As was mentioned already, you could probably create a custom resolution for example in the Nvidia control panel, that would then show up in-game.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

First, I assumed that this plugin would unlock ultra-wide resolution options, as it was stated to "unlock resolution options/support." However, it actually enables a 'borderless window' mode using the same ultra-wide resolution, which is available only in full-screen mode for users with an ultra-wide monitor.

Using the 'Custom Resolution Utility' and this plugin together resolved the issue, allowing me to obtain a 21:9 aspect ratio on my 16:9 display. It is worth mentioning that I conducted this using only integrated graphics.

For anyone looking to replicate this process in the future, here’s what I did:

First, I downloaded the 'Custom Resolution Utility' and carefully followed the website's instructions to generate an ultra-wide resolution.

Once my screen was set to ultra-wide, I extracted the 'MGSVFix-v0.0.2.zip' file into the game folder. Then launched the game.

However, I cannot guarantee that 'Custom Resolution Utility' will function flawlessly with your monitor. I was not certain whether it would work safely in my case, which initially led me here to look for safer alternatives. Fortunately, it worked.

It seems like this issue was resolved. Can it be closed?
