Dying Light The Beast Ultrawide Support Guide

Dying Light The Beast players on ultrawide monitors face two major hurdles: **poor HUD scaling** and **erratic performance**, even with high-end hardware. Reports indicate issues like frame rate instability, sudden 30 FPS locks, and visual distortion persist despite using DLSS or Frame Generation.

Ultrawide Support: Half-Baked Implementation

While the game technically runs on 21:9 monitors, critical flaws remain:

Centered HUD: UI elements don’t scale to the screen edges, leaving unused space.
Edge Distortion: Objects near screen borders appear stretched due to incorrect FOV scaling.
No Customization: No official settings to adjust HUD placement or FOV.
32:9 Unsupported: Super-ultrawide resolutions remain unaddressed.

DLSS and Frame Generation Woes

Performance features behave unpredictably on ultrawide setups:

V-Sync Conflicts: Enabling V-Sync with Frame Generation causes tearing or FPS spikes.
DLSS Inconsistency: Frames fluctuate wildly, often dipping below 60 FPS on powerful GPUs.
30 FPS Locks: Disabling DLSS/Frame Gen triggers hard performance caps during intense scenes.
Ignored Settings: External frame limiters via Nvidia Control Panel frequently fail.

One player’s RTX 4070 setup highlighted:

DLSS + Frame Gen: 180+ FPS in some areas, but GPU temperatures reached 89°C.
DLSS Alone: Unable to maintain 60 FPS consistently.
Both Off: Locked at 30 FPS during combat.

Temporary Fixes to Try

Until patches arrive, consider these workarounds:

Use DLSS Balanced Mode: Skip Frame Generation for better stability.
Avoid V-Sync + Frame Gen: These technologies clash, causing visual artifacts.
Force 60 FPS via RivaTuner: Circumvent the game’s ignored FPS caps.
Switch to 16:9: Sacrifice screen space for smoother performance.
Borderless Window Mode: Some users report fewer frame pacing issues.
