Black Myth: Wukong is a visually stunning game that can be even more immersive on ultra-wide monitors. However, these setups often lead to issues such as black bars on the screen and an incorrect Field of View (FOV).
If you’re facing these problems, this comprehensive guide will help you fix widescreen issues, adjust the FOV, and enable FSR Frame Generation in DLSS mode for RTX 20/30 series graphics cards, ensuring the best possible gaming experience.
Fixing Widescreen Issues, Adjusting FOV, and Enabling FSR in Black Myth: Wukong
Fixing Widescreen Issues by Removing Black Bars
To begin fixing the widescreen issues, specifically for a 32:9 aspect ratio, you’ll need to remove the black bars that appear on the screen.
This can be done by using a hex editor like HxD. If you haven’t installed HxD yet, you can download it from the official website.
Once installed, navigate to the game’s executable file, which is typically found in the directory:
...Steam\steamapps\common\BlackMythWukong\b1\Binaries\Win64\b1-Win64-Shipping.exe.- Open this file using HxD and use the replace function by pressing
Ctrl + R.
Here, you will need to replace the hex value corresponding to the default aspect ratio, 39 8E E3 3F with the value that matches your desired screen resolution. For a 32:9 aspect ratio, you would replace it with 39 8E 63 40.
After making this change, save the file.
Adjusting HEX Values for Different Resolutions
If you’re using a different aspect ratio, there are various hex values to choose from. Below is a list of common resolutions and their corresponding hex values:
- 5:4 (1280×1024):
00 00 A0 3F - 4:3 (1600×1200):
AB AA AA 3F - 3:2 (1920×1280):
00 00 C0 3F - 16:10 (2560×1600):
CD CC CC 3F - 15:9 (1280×768):
55 55 D5 3F - 16:9 (1920×1080):
39 8E E3 3F(default) - 1.85:1:
CD CC EC 3F - 2.39:1:
C3 F5 18 40 - 2.76:1:
D7 A3 30 40 - 3×5:4 (3840×1024):
00 00 70 40 - 3×4:3 (4800×1200):
00 00 80 40 - 3×16:10 (7680×1600):
9A 99 99 40 - 3×15:9 (3840×768):
00 00 A0 40 - 3×16:9 (5760×1080):
AB AA AA 40 - 21:9 (2560×1080):
26 B4 17 40 - 21:9 (3440×1440):
8E E3 18 40 - 21:9 (3840×1600):
9A 99 19 40 - 32:9 (5120×1440):
39 8E 63 40 - 32:10:
CD CC 4C 40
Once you’ve replaced the hex values with the ones corresponding to your screen resolution, run the game to verify that the black bars have been removed and that the display fits perfectly on your ultra-wide monitor. If there are any lingering issues, double-check that all instances of the original hex value were correctly replaced.
Adjusting the Field of View (FOV)
After resolving the widescreen issue, you might notice that the camera angle is either too close or too far from your character.
This is where adjusting the FOV becomes crucial. To do this, you’ll need to download the Universal Unreal Engine 5 Unlocker (UUU5), a tool that allows you to unlock the in-game console and adjust the FOV.
Once you’ve downloaded and installed UUU5, you’ll need to enable console commands. Navigate to
%AppData%\Local\b1\Saved\Config\Windows\Input.ini
Add the following lines to the file:
[/script/engine.inputsettings] ConsoleKey=Tilde. Save the changes you’ve made.
Using UUU5 to Adjust FOV in Real-Time
Next, launch the game and open UUU5. Select the game process from the list provided by the tool, which will inject the necessary components into the game. To adjust the FOV, press the tilde key (~) on your keyboard to open the console.
In the console, type the command, fov 120, or replace 120 with your preferred FOV value. This will adjust the FOV in real time, allowing you to see the changes immediately. If the game pauses after entering the command, simply press Numlock 0 to resume gameplay.
Enabling FSR Frame Generation in DLSS Mode for RTX 20/30 Series
For those using RTX 20/30 series graphics cards, enabling FSR Frame Generation in DLSS mode can significantly enhance performance. This is achieved by replacing the Nvidia DLSS-G Frame Generation with the AMD FSR 3 Frame Generation.
To do this, visit NexusMods and log in to your account. Search for and manually download the “dlssg-to-fsr3-0.100 (Universal)” mod file. Once downloaded, extract the contents of the ZIP file and navigate to the dll_version folder.
Copy the files dlssg_to_fsr3_amd_is_better.dll and version.dll to two specific directories in your game files:
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\BlackMythWukong\Engine\Plugins\Runtime\Nvidia\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64andSteamLibrary\steamapps\common\BlackMythWukong\b1\Binaries\Win64.
After placing these files in the correct directories, you can enjoy enhanced performance with frame generation enabled in DLSS mode. If you ever need to uninstall this mod, simply delete the DLL files you added.
Conclusion
By following the steps outlined in this guide, you should be able to eliminate black bars on ultra-wide screens, adjust your FOV for optimal gameplay, and boost your system’s performance with FSR Frame Generation.
This will allow you to experience Black Myth: Wukong in the best possible way, fully tailored to your unique gaming setup.
Always remember to back up your game files before making any modifications, and if you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to consult community forums or modding sites for additional support and advice.
