The sun dipped below the horizon as I fired up REANIMAL, a wave of excitement washing over me. I was ready to plunge into its stunning world, but a sudden realization hit—my Ultrawide monitor displayed nothing but a cramped wonderland. How could something so visually captivating feel so restricted?
So far, REANIMAL stands out as one of the more impressively crafted games built on Unreal Engine 5. Unlike other titles like High on Life 2, it generally runs smoothly—until you try to stretch it across an Ultrawide screen. The absence of official support for these monitors is a letdown, yet there’s a silver lining: a mod exists to reclaim that expansive view.
How Ultrawide Monitors Reshape the Gaming Experience
With no official Ultrawide support from Tarsier (yet), the path forward is paved with a mod. You can grab the necessary files through this Codeberg link. Make sure you snag the latest patch file; just click on the SUWSF Zip folder within the installation section.
Transforming Installation: Bringing Ultrawide to Life
Once you’ve downloaded the SUWSF Zip, it’s time for the second act. Extract the contents into a new folder, then copy everything into your REANIMAL installation directory. For me, it all resides in the common sub-folder of Steam—where all my games naturally fall.
Crafted by Lyall, this mod opens doors to Ultrawide support, amplifying your experience. Picture the difference: the performance can stride forward, smoother than before, even if it demands a bit more from your hardware. Still, isn’t that a small price to pay for a truly immersive world?
What if I Want to Remove the Mod?
If you find yourself wanting to revert to vanilla settings, simply delete the mod files. You can also tinker with the SUWSF.ini file to disable the mod, but that’s a bit trickier. The straightforward option? Remove the files and restart the game. Should the allure of Ultrawide return, just drop the files back into the installation folder, and you’re set to dive back into REANIMAL.
Can a simple mod really reshape how we experience a game? The beauty of gaming technology seems like a double-edged sword: freedom at your fingertips, yet sometimes just out of reach.
