[Broforce] Request

[twice5023]

Broforce supports 21:9 OOTB but it's zoomed in instead of wider compared to 16:9. (Vert- instead of Hor+ aspect ratio).

It's a Unity game according to PCGW.

There is a fix tool but you have to guess which zoom level corresponds to your aspect ratio and it doesn't remember it between game restarts. Additionally I couldn't get it to work on Linux (Possibly because Wayland doesn't allow listening to keystrokes by unfocused programs as a keylogger mitigation).

So it would be awesome if you could patch it for proper Hor+ aspect ratio scaling :D

The GitHub issue is a request for a fix to improve ultrawide (21:9) support in the game Broforce. Currently, the game supports 21:9 resolutions out of the box, but the implementation is "Vert-" (zoomed in) rather than "Hor+" (wider field of view compared to 16:9), which negatively impacts the gameplay experience. Although a third-party FOV fix tool exists, it has limitations, such as requiring manual adjustment to match the aspect ratio, not saving settings between sessions, and not functioning properly on Linux due to Wayland restrictions. The user is asking for an official patch to enable proper "Hor+" aspect ratio scaling for 21:9 resolutions to enhance the ultrawide gaming experience.

Give this a shot.

UI scaling + FOV scaling should be corrected (added intro skip too)

Thanks for your amazing work!

I tried to apply the fix on the GOG version (latest build, same as steam, broforce forever), it doesn't seem to work (e.g. I still get intros and same FOV as before). Is there some config file I need to tweak?

Cheers

That was so quick, thank you!
Is it intended that BepInEx is not bundled in the release? The patch itself works like a charm, though :)

@didzfr I managed to get it working (Steam Proton version) by:

1. separately download BepInEx
2. copy the extracted BepInEx files into broforce game folder
3. start the game once without the UW patch
4. copy the UW patch files into .../Broforce/BepInEx/plugins/

No, it's not intended.... uploaded the wrong one lol - fixed now

Thank you so much, it's working now with the updated archive (with the GOG version). I can finally enjoy Broforce in ultrawide thanks to your efforts ;)
