Overview

Avowed's 21:9 gameplay is genuinely excellent — proper horizontal FOV expansion with no stretching — but 32:9 users hit real friction: community reports describe fisheye-like FOV distortion unless manually reduced below 70, and the game drops to 16:9 pillarboxed black bars during every conversation and cutscene, frequent in this dialogue-heavy RPG. No built-in way to reposition HUD elements for 32:9 framing, and no verified working mod exists yet to keep conversations in full ultrawide.

Fixes

No known fix yet.

No verified working mod exists yet to keep dialogue/cutscenes in full ultrawide, or to correct the FOV distortion. In the meantime, manually lowering the FOV slider below 70 reduces the fisheye effect somewhat.

Gameplay is flawless hor+, only cutscenes/dialogue pillarbox.

Playable but FOV feels fisheyed unless manually lowered under 70; dialogue scenes still pillarbox to 16:9.
