Under Display, select your native ultrawide resolution (e.g., 34401440 or 25601080). If the correct resolution isnt listed, try setting it in Windowed Fullscreen mode. Fix UI Scaling (Optional) The UI may stretch or look distorted.

Search for your current resolution (e.g., 1920 1080) and replace it with your ultrawide resolution (e.g., 3440 1440). Save and relaunch the game. Use Third-Party Tools (For Cutscenes & UI) Flawless Widescreen (Windows only): 1. Download from flawlesswidescreen.org. 2. Run it, select Guild Wars 2, and enable the plugin. 3.

Launch Options (Steam/Standalone) Add -windowed and -noborder to the games launch options for better compatibility. NVIDIA/AMD Control Panel Adjustments NVIDIA: - Open NVIDIA Control Panel Adjust Desktop Size and Position Full-Screen. AMD: - Open AMD Radeon Settings Display Scaling Mode Full Panel. Disable DPI Scaling (Windows) Right-click Gw2-64.exe Properties Compatibility Disable Fullscreen Optimizations and Override High DPI Scaling.

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
