I found this. It doesn't involve adding the line to Engine.ini but it did work however it was horribly Vert - which is ballz and unplayable. Also, I couldn't create a new character because the Accept button was offscreen.
Its a bit hard to understand what they're trying to convey in a few places here. Like the "Add these lines" section. All those lines are already in the .ini file. And where it says, "you need to change it with the following" last part. I believe these settings relate to Windowed mode though I'm not sure. If you switch to Windowed mode though the window is very small AND if you have the file open in Notepad++, after you close the game, Notepad++ says the file has been changed and if you'd like to load the new changes. When you load the new changes it reverts those res settings 1280x720. Not sure what the poster meant by, "you need to change it with the following". Makes no sense.

TITLE: SCUM 21:9 Resolution Fix, No Audio, Fatal Error, Game Not Launching, Black Screen And Fixes
===============================================================
Ultrawide/21:9 Resolution Fix
Players have reported that the game doesn’t display Ultrawide 21:9 properly. However, there is a fix for that which can potentially fix the 21:9 issues for SCUM.
To fix this issue right-click on the game’s exe file and select properties. Now select “compatibility” and then check the box under “High DPI scaling override” and change “Application” to “System” and apply it.
With that done, press “Win + R” and type “%localappdata%” and hit enter. A window will open and you need to follow the following path: “SCUM\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor”.
Here you will find “GameUserSettings.ini”, open it in notepad as you need to change some things for the Ultrawide 21:9 issue to resolve.
Press “Ctrl + F” and type “bUseDesiredScreenHeight=False” and hit enter. Once the line is highlighted in the notepad change False to True.
Now look for “HDRDisplayOutputNits=1000” and you don’t need to change anything here but add the following lines under it.
bUseVSync=False
WindowPosX=-1
WindowPosY=-1
FullscreenMode=1
LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=0
PreferredFullscreenMode=1
Version=5
FrameRateLimit=0.000000
Before you save these settings make sure “FullscreenMode” is set to 1 and “PreferredFullscreenMode” is set to 1.
You will also need to change your resolution before you save and exit. You need to find the following:
ResolutionSizeX=3440
ResolutionSizeY=1440
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=3440
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1440
You need to change it with the following:
DesiredScreenWidth=1280
bUseDesiredScreenHeight=True
DesiredScreenHeight=720
Now save these changes and this should resolve the Ultrawide issue for you.
