So the game is working fairly well for me (CPU Utilization not-withstanding) but why are cutscenes stretched when I play at 3440x1440? Cutscenes are rendered in realtime using the game engine so I don't know why this happens. Maybe, as other games do, add bars down the side so it becomes 16:9. But stretching the cutscenes? I think it's because there is a border top and bottom in the cutscenes and the result would be a smaller picture if bars at the side were added. But stretching the image is not the answer. It needs to be fixed, pronto!

@ubi-mark this thread explains it with images. The WSGF folks have found a partial fix by hex editing a dll. However, atm this stretches the UI.

Just to add. The culprit is AMD's FSR. With it off the cutscenes are not stretched. Should be an easy fix (but I doubt it will happen).

3840x1660 here, and I would rather have the stretched cut-scenes than black boxes all around my cut scenes. It ruins the immersion big time.

This affects 5120x1440 resolution even more than 3440x1440.
In addition to cutscenes, it affects when you zoom in with your camera as well.
Does anyone know a good FOV for 5120.1440 curved screen? maybe something like 68-70?

@slackbladder100
Hey! Thank you for letting us know that turning off AMD's FSR helped resolve this for you. I will pass this on.

@Dave3d07
Hey! Sorry that this has ruined the immersion. What CPU and GPU are you using?

@StuntApe
Hey, sorry to hear that this affects 5120x1440 resolution more, what CPU and GPU are you using?

Thank you.

CPU shouldnt matter a bit.
But, I have an Intel I9 10900kf, and an Nvidia 3090.
And my resolution I put wrong. It is really 3840x1600. Acer Predator X38p curved screen.

@ubi-viral
5800X & 6900XT. The issue seems to go away if you change the FSR settings (now cutscenes have black bars all the way around.)
I have noticed some other completely unrelated issues as well:

1. HDR sometimes causes flashing between whiteish & yellowish, so I have to close Far Cry 6, then in Windows 10, Disable HDR, then Enable HDR and relauch the game. I have seen this in a different game though, so it could be a Windows 10 or Video Card / Driver issue.
2. usually soon after continuing a game, my character view pans up (to look straight up) while spinning & shooting. I use an Xbox 360 controller, and it is NOT the controller as I have never seen this behaviour in ANY other game. If I click the Start button twice, all is good for at least a few hours.
3. I am surprised that the most memory used by my video card is 6.5GB. 5120x1440 should be close to what 4K would use (11GB+). Or maybe you only have 1080 & 2160, but no 1440 textures?

Thanks!

I can confirm I'm having the same problems on 5120 x 1440

@slackbladder100 Also, Ultra wide doesn't work when inside a tank either...
