Overview
Source 2 handles 32:9 the way a modern engine should: set your resolution and the view expands Hor+ with no black bars and no stretching. It's one of the best 32:9 competitive-shooter experiences available. The FOV-boosting console command requires sv_cheats and is disabled in competitive/VAC-secured matchmaking — a fairness limitation, not a bug. Do not use third-party memory-injection aspect-ratio tools with VAC active.
