A new update has been released for BlastZone 2, (v1.29.4.3) adding ultra-wide 21:9 resolution support to the game. However, using these resolutions has no effect on gameplay or field of view. Black bars are used on the left and right sides to fill the space outside the standard 16:9 viewport. The main purpose of adding these resolutions is to allow 21:9 monitors to run at their native resolution without scaling or letterboxing.
Here are the full release notes for v1.29.4.3:
- Added 3 new ultra-wide 21:9 resolutions -2560x1080 -3440x1440 -5120x2160 -Black bars are added to the left and right sides when these resolutions are used -Gameplay and field of view are not affected by these resolutions
- Updated the config menu to use a "(4:3)" or "(5:4)" suffix for resolutions that are 4:3 or 5:4, such as 1024x768
- Updated the configuration program to support the new 21:9 resolutions
As usual, to make sure you have the latest update, launch the game and check the lower left corner of the title screen for “v1.29.4.3” or above. Enjoy!
