>TFW fell for the 21:9 monitor meme
Seriously /g/, this is the most retaded shit I've ever wasted money on. I miss my old 2715h
i have a 21:9 monitor and it really doesnt bother me with overwatch, you don't even notice once you're playing. overwatch is fun.

Overwatch is adding ultrameme aspect ratio support next patch.

21:9 is the greatest shit ever.
>>55569653
I have the same monitor.
It's not for fps games or fast phased games at all. Also that shit game doesnt support 21:9..
Did you do any research?
Also btw enjoy that 20ms input lag and screen tearing in fullscreen.
This monitor is for racing games and mmorpgs and content creation.
>troubled minds keycaps
At least that monitor wasn't your worst purchasing decision.
>>55569653
Overwatch doesn't support 21:9 resolutions?
What a piece of shit. Even games from like 10 years ago could have been made to support 21:9 just by editing a config file if they didn't have the option in a menu.
Why are games so fucking trash when it comes to settings now days? Is it simply because of consoles?
>>55569871
All it does is take the 16:9 aspect and vert- it.
You lose a SHITLOAD of of top and bottom view, it destroys your ability to play.
Meanwhile I can launch a 2003 WoW Alpha 0.8.1 client and play 3440:1440 no problem.
The chimps they put on the Overwatch team need to be fired.
Multiplayer games won't fully support it because the FoV cannot be increased so 21:9 players can take advantage. The standard is 16:9 nowadays. Of course for instance, TF2 supports the resolution but unless you like tampering and being at risk of a vac ban your limit for FOV is 90. Also Big Picture doesn't support it either.
I use my ultrawide for different things. You should know that 21:9 is not supposed to be mandatory or standard so when you buy it you know that you're getting some specific shit. It's like 120hz when it came out and the dozens of games limited to 60fps or even 60hz. Like Crysis.
>>55569931
>Multiplayer games won't fully support it because the FoV cannot be increased so 21:9 players can take advantage.
Funny, not an issue for plenty of other games, with more serious competitive sides like CSGO.
Seems to be a Blizzard problem.
>>55569931
>Multiplayer games won't fully support it because the FoV
Meanwhile League of Legends, one of the most played games as of now that even has a faggy e-sports scene, supports 21:9.
>>55569940
It is, because CS:GO has also a limit on field of view. You won't be able to take any more advantage than a 16:9 player. You could say it's partially supported.
>>55569653
That entire image reeks of someone who makes nothing but ignorant purchases. Advertisers must love you.
>>55569759
Not at all, I have proper displays and good games
>>55569944
It doesnt you fucking retard.
It just stretches the game and it looks like shit.
Haven't had a single game that couldn't handle 21:9. I don't play shitty tf2 clones though.
>>55569931
>Multiplayer games won't fully support it because the FoV cannot be increased so 21:9 players can take advantage.
No, they simply don't implement it into the game because it takes time and not many people have it.
>>55569972
Why am I not surprised that mouthbreathing idiots like you don't know how to google as well?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxb0U1TyHZs
>>55569985
>it takes time
Yeah I'm sure it takes a lot of time for Valve to change the allowed limit from 90 to 110.
>>55569931
>Multiplayer games won't fully support it because the FoV cannot be increased so 21:9 players can take advantage.
Holy shit. Just make your games for fucking consoles if you aren't going to fucking support different hardware.

>>55569991
FOV != rendered resolution you mongoloid
>>55570000
The guy is talking out of his ass anyway. He didn't even fucking LoL had support for it. You can only expect so much from actual retards.
Also, checked.
>>55570000
I'm not arguing in favor for it. It's their own logic. Remember that stupid trash like modern warfare 2 had a 90fps limit. Why? I do not know as people could only have either 60 or 120hz LCD displays at that time. Ask the developers themselves. Ask Valve which is putting a completely arbitrary limit they could just take away in a second.
>>55570017
They could just change that little bit right now. The rendered resolutions for 21:9 are already supported in source games, what is not supported is that outside of single player games or non-vac servers on these.
>>55570059
I do not play hot garbage so you can't expect me to check whether a moba has support for it. I'm not the poster right here >>55569972 if that's what you're thinking.
>>55570090
>what is not supported is that outside of single player games or non-vac servers on these.
Wtf are you on about mate, I have a 21:9 and I played CS:GO, and since the beginning it rendered fine. What doesn't work ARE THE FUCKING MENUS. Because again, it takes time to implement and they just don't support it. They used some crappy flash based solution at first and they switched over to another system, and ITS STILL FUCKED
>>55569986
Literally pointless, just makes stuff smaller thus harder to last hit or path to A-click
>>55569653
hahahaha you're retarded.
and yes that is my favorite ratio along with 16:10
>>55570117
I am talking about the FoV not the resolutions themselves. No horizontal FoV higher than 90 is supported within VAC secured servers. The resolutions themselves, 2560x1080 / 3440x1440 are supported.
If you play comfortably that way that's fine, I'm just saying that it is the same as having a 16:9 display and lowering the FoV. You can play like that and it won't look distorted, but you will have definitely a lower field of view than you would probably want for such display.
>>55569715
>your autism
>>55569931
>>55569960
You're wrong, it works in both TF2 and CS GO
Quake engine games and their derivatives such as above use a 4:3 section to calculate the FOV setting, and any wider resolutions always expand your viewing angle
So, if you have a 16:9 monitor and use 90 FOV in console then your FOV is actually about 106, and in ultrawide is even wider, even though your setting is still set to 90
Even surround ultrawide works
>>55570163
See >>55570286
No higher FoV SETTING than 90 is allowed
But, FoV setting in Source game results in higher actual FoV if your aspect ratio is wider than 4:3
>>55569653
thanks doc
>>55569931
Better hardware always brings advantages in games. Nothing wrong here.
Gaming tournaments use the same hardware for everyone anyway.
>>55570286
I fucking hate that the HUD doesn't play well with such a wide FOV. I play on three screens and the HUD takes up like 75% more screen real estate than it should.
>>55570458
You know there's a cvar for scaling the hud, right?
Try hud_scaling 0.5 or less

Stop lying faggot, if it was true, pros would be using ultrawide, but they aren't
>>55570475
That's because pros tend to know where their enemy is without even seeing them
Most pros play 4:3 stretched on 16:9 monitors actually

You could do the same on any 16:9. Either way you are giving up pixels.

Some things are weird.
>>55570090
The 90fps limit may have been because devs were idiots and the game would have bugs at high framerates.
See fallout 4 and its weird physics bugs at high framerates.
Devs can be fucking idiots when their primary development platform wont go above 40 fps 900p
>>55569653
You do fucking realize, that Overwatch is like the ONLY title in the recent years that's got ONLY 16:9 support... right?
It runs like shit on 5:4, 4:3.
Just because Blizzard cannot into games, your aspect ratio and resolution is just fine.
>>55569973

>>55574454
They don't want to support it properly because it "would give an unfair advantage over 16:9 players" (they do the same thing to 16:10)
It becomes rather hypocritical when they do allow the game to run at 144fps, which would technically give people with a 144hz monitor an advantage over those with only a 60hz monitor.
144hz is arguably a bigger advantage in a FPS compared to 21:9, so it really doesn't make much sense.
>>55574389
>>55574454
>>55574480
>>55574481
>why can't I have a huge advantage over other players in a competitive game?
>>55574570
Read my second post, if they don't want to support 21:9 for fairness then they shouldn't support 144fps either.
>>55574525
They need to worry more about their absolute shit tier netcode. I couldn't tell you the amount of times I've been killed after picking up health packs, gotten hooked around walls, etc. It's unreal. There's no real logic to it either. Sometimes roadhog hooks and Yanks people clear through buildings and other times they just get pulled against the wall in between them.
>>55574570
LoL, DotA, CS:GO, SC2 etc. are all a billion times more competitive than Overwatch ever will be in its lifetime and they support 21:9.
Also it's odd that they would care about something as trivial as aspect ratio “advantage” but ignore difference in mouse, headphone, input lag, framerate, ping, display size, etc.; so I don't really buy that as an excuse either.
The only conclusion is that Blizzard can't program a FoV slider and is desperately trying to hide it under the guise of “m-muh competitive fairness”.

Sample and hold motion blurring takes care it isnt.
>falling for the ultrawide anus meme
topjej
>>55574525
Every other game solves this by having an FoV slider so an aspect ratio is simply that: an aspect ratio.
>>55574624
>>55574705
overwatch has an fov slider, it's capped to 103 deg though
>>55574791
>103 degree max FoV
WHY
>>55574635
Starting at a certain skill cap, 144hz is a clear advantage. Though that certain skill cap is admittedly really high. The vast majority of players wouldn't notice a difference, while the top 5% probably would.
nah 21:9 is great
overwatch is just shit. really dissapointed in blizzard for releasing that peice of shit.
>>55574570
>competitive game
>Overwatch
kek
>>55574959
In other words, you dont know what sample and hold is or how there is no difference in motion blur between 60Hz and 200Hz on LCD using sample and hold.
Your premise holds true for decent display tech, like CRT, with scanning (to black) picture mode.

>Stop lying faggot, if it was true, pros would be using ultrawide, but they aren't
You're arguing based on the assumption that an ultrawide offers a competitive advantage.
Have you considered the possibility that it simply doesn't? It's exactly as you say: If it did, pros would be using it.
Pros aren't using it, ergo it can't offer a competitive advantage. The only people incapable of seeing this are Activision-Blizzard.
