For those with widescreen monitors and displays, here's how you can activate support in Elden Ring.

The developers of the game, FromSoftware, have confirmed that there will be no widescreen support coming anytime soon, and that players will just have to bear with it. However, the PC gaming community has come out with a fix to this issue, by introducing a mod called Flawless Widescreen.

Using the Flawless Widescreen mod, here's a step-by-step guide to enabling widescreen support in Elden Ring.

Since the Flawless Widescreen mod is considered a third-party application, it will disable Elden Ring's online mode. You will not be able to use any online features, and can only play offline.

The first step is to get the Flawless Widescreen program from their website. Make sure you download the latest version, and choose the one that matches your Window version.

Once you've downloaded the program, install it in the directory of your choice.

Once you have the program up and running, it is time to set it up with your game.

On opening the program, it will show an interface on your screen. The left side of the interface will show the available plugins for all the games that the program supports.

Under the Available Plugins - FWS Plugins, look for Elden Ring and click on it. It will move to the Installed Plugins - FWS Plugins, and you can now select the settings from the main UI.

Make sure you bump it to the highest to get the maximum frames your hardware can handle.

After choosing the required settings, click on Acknowledge and Ignore to continue the setup.

The final step for applying widescreen support is the most crucial one, where you have to disable the Easy Anti-Cheat.

If you skip through this step and start the game, the anti-cheat program will detect the mod and flag your account for using it.

To disable the Easy Anti-Cheat, follow these steps:

Now that you have followed the steps carefully and disabled the Easy Anti-Cheat, you can start the game using the start_protected_game file or from Steam.

To disable the Flawless Widescreen mod and connect to online services, simply open the Flawless Widescreen application and click on the Fix Enabled check box.

Next, open Steam and verify the integrity of the game files to complete the changes.

You will now be able to play Elden Ring on your ultrawide monitor with FPS unlocked.
