Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, developed by Capcom Co., Ltd., is an RPG that allows players an opportunity to investigate the universe of Monster Hunter as a Rider, instead of a Hunter, who creates bonds with, raises, and coincides with beasts.

This came as a great disappointment to some users, mainly the ones with Ultrawide resolutions. They hoped for the PC version to be better than the Nintendo Switch version (because of its awful framerate), but they encountered a greater problem for them with the lack of support for Ultrawide resolutions of the game. We can hope that Ultrawide support is officially added later on, but for now, you can try out this guide.
How to get Ultrawide support in Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
Even if the game doesn’t support Ultrawide resolutions natively, you can force it to by manually modifying the configuration file.
Find the Configuration File
