I do game, but I do not always game on all the screen. It depends on the game and the focus I want.
For example, e-sport, I use 2/3 of screen to game, 1/3 of screen for browsing and discord.
For solo gaming or a game needing focus, I play fullscreen.
league of legends works really well in 32:9 ! But I use it in 21:9 (2/3 of my screen), which already is an ultrawide ratio.
Civ 6, Baldur’s gate 3, witcher 3, work well in 32:9 (using the full screen). No worries here. Humankind too.
For some, there are adaptations but it works too. Skyrim or fallout for example. There is a software named “flawless widescreen” ; it improves the experience for initially poorly compatible games.
I do use a software for windows layouts with macros. Meaning I can switch the disposition of my browser, explorer, discord, signal, pdf or anything and my games depending on what I want to do. And that, is really enjoyable.
In my personal experience most games either work fine out of the box or after some tweaking, I’ve had a 49 inch 5120x1440 monitor for almost 4 years now. At times you’ll need to use Flawless Widescreen or Widescreen Fixer to get things working, or UI mods if the game supports that. But worst case you can always try a better supported widescreen ratio or 16:9 and live with some black bars, not ideal, but not the end of the world either.
query: do you game, and if so, how many games work with this config?
