Players using ultrawide monitors often encounter unoptimized display settings in Blue Protocol Star Resonance, where black bars appear on screen edges during gameplay. Though not officially supported, workarounds exist to enhance immersion.
Ultrawide Support Status
The game lacks native ultrawide support, defaulting to a 16:9 aspect ratio. This results in pillar boxing (black bars) on wider monitors (21:9 or 32:9). However, a quick adjustment in display settings can mitigate this issue.
Step-by-Step Fix for Ultrawide Displays
-
Access in-game Settings and switch to Windowed mode.
-
Temporarily apply a non-native resolution and confirm.
-
Revert to your monitor’s native ultrawide resolution.
-
Return to Fullscreen mode—black bars should vanish.
This method resets aspect ratio scaling without compromising visuals or performance. For stubborn cases, third-party tools like Lossless Scaling can force fullscreen rendering.
Gameplay Experience on Ultrawide
While the game world expands seamlessly, UI elements (menus, quest markers) remain confined to 16:9. Frame rates stay stable, and no input lag has been reported post-adjustment.
Optimization Tips
-
Reapply the resolution fix after major updates to refresh scaling.
-
Use native resolution to avoid blurry cutscenes.
-
Keep HUD elements centered for readability in fast-paced battles.
-
Avoid ultrawide tweaks on mobile/iPad versions—UI is locked.
