Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues

The native scaling is vert-, however, the game offers an FOV slider for each of its views. Use the WSGF FOV calculator to vertically match 16:9 via Options -> Gameplay when in a race (the options are not accessible otherwise).

Alternatively, to make the game hor+ without changing the FOV values, go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Rennsport\Saved\Config\Windows and open Editor.ini, then add the following at the bottom:

[/Script/Engine.LocalPlayer] AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Same issue as in ultra-wide, only exacerbated to the point of the current gear not being visible unless the FOV is changed. The FOV slider maximum of 170 horizontal provides more than enough room to compensate for the default FOV values of 90 and 99 (depending on the view).

The HUD is spanned by default, however, the game allows to drag and drop its HUD elements to any position via Options -> Gameplay when in a race.

Additionally, the Projection Correction slider in Options -> Video -> Rendering allows to experiment with reducing the edge distortion.
