Nevermind, I found the solution. A post on Reddit had the answer.

1. Open Program HxD > Click File and Open ACOdyssey.exe
2. Ctrl+F > Click "Hex Values" > Click Search Direction "All" > Write 39 8E E3 3F
3. change EVERY Instance and Replace Value With Hex Your Aspect Ratio Resolution, Here is the list.

2560x1080 = 26 B4 17 40
3440x1440 = 8E E3 18 40
3840x1080 = 39 8E 63 40

Just want to quote this so it's easier to find for people because it definitely still works, at least for 3440x1440.

I'm using HxD Hex Editor, and the first couple times I tried I forgot to set the search to Hex values and not Text strings. After that, I was able to find "39 8E E3 3F", which I then replaced with "8E E3 18 40" using the built in Replace function in the program.

This is after the most recent Steam update. I updated my game and had black bars. I checked the .exe and it had changed back so I used program to replace values again and went back into the game and 'lo and behold, the black bars were gone.

So to anyone saying that it's not working, make sure you're actually searching for Hex values and not Text strings, and have fun romancing in full 21:9!

The following exes are from UPlay version 1.1.3

3440x1440

3840x1080

For those of you who have the Steam version, and just can't comprehend how to use a hex editor. If you uploaded the latest .exe from Steam, and link it to me, I will edit it and re-upload the exes for you. No sarcasm, just trying to help.

Seems like the latest patch ruined this? Hex value from 39 8E E3 3F too 8E E3 18 40 didn't seem too change anything on 3440x1440. Steam version.

Does anyone know the updated Hex values for Steam version 1.1.3? The previous ones "39 8E E3 3F3" (i.e 16:9 in hex) can no longer be found with search and I don't know where to go from here to restore the fix. Thanks

Can confirm this works. done it on the last two updates and fixes the issue. I found using 'Replace all' made it easier, there are about 8 instances of 39 8E E3 3F you have to replace

But unfortunately neither this last one nor the previous ones do not work with AC Odyssey Ultimate edition. I've got Ubi version meanwhile. Am i doing something wrong (though nothing can be done wrong basicly i am just copy/pasting the exe files) or is there a problem with the ultimate version?
