Features

• Resolution is forced to main display resolution. In-game options are disabled as it messes with the fix.
• UI remains at 16:9 and centered.
• Removes the cropping on the left and right sides of the screen.
• Fix is disabled for anything fishing-related.
• Transitions corrected.
• Top/bottom cutscene bars removed.
• Intros are "skipped".
• Background ocean is fixed where possible.

UI Positioning

• The default positioning should be ok, but you can use the following if you want to adjust:
  • Left Square Bracket = Shift UI to the left.
  • Right Square Bracket = Shift UI to the right.
  • Backslash\Pipe = Reset
  • You can hold down the Left Shift key to enable greater steps.

Notes

• Transitions between areas in levels are fine; there is some jankiness with transitions from load screens.
• The hands/icons in combat may appear out of line sometimes. Best it's going to get for now.

Prerequisites

• .NET 6.0 is required. Just the runtime; you don't need the SDK.
• https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0

Installation (Default method, Windows only)

• Extract the contents of 01.SeaOfStars-Ultrawide_v0.2.0_Installer.zip into the game directory.
  (e.g. "steamapps\common\SeaOfStars" for Steam).
• Ensure the zip contents are alongside the game exe and not within a subfolder.
• Run MelonLoader.Installer.exe, click SELECT and browse to the game executable. Leave all the options as default and click Install.
  - Note: For the Game Pass version, choose "gamelaunchhelper.exe" instead of the game executable.
• Run the game normally via Steam/GamePass. Do not launch via the exe directly.

Installation (Manual method)

• Extract the contents of SeaOfStars-Ultrawide_v0.2.0_Windows.zip into the game directory.
  (e.g. "steamapps\common\SeaOfStars" for Steam).
• Ensure the zip contents are alongside the game exe and not within a subfolder.
• Run the game normally.

Linux

• You're on your own here.
• Use SeaOfStars-Ultrawide_v0.2.0_Linux.zip if the game offers a native build or SeaOfStars-Ultrawide_v0.2.0_Windows.zip via Proton/Wine etc.

Changes

0.2.0

• Transition/cutscene dialogue should be restored
• Changed keys for the UI movement

0.1.9 - Important; the filename has changed. Ensure you are deleting SeaOfStars.dll within the Mods folder.

• Further adjustments to the UI positions. If using a custom position, please press the keypad star on your keyboard to reset. Please report here (#8) if the auto-calculated position is too far left/too far right (and include a screenshot),
• Re-enabled the Pixel Perfect option. It doesn't appear to do anything on my setup, but it may help some people.
• Hopefully fixed the pixels being out of line on some setups. I don't encounter it on mine, so it's hard to troubleshoot.
• Fixed the Wizard dome area being 16:9.
• Added protections to prevent the animated cutscenes from scaling incorrectly.

0.1.8

• Fixed shadows around characters/objects not being pixelated. If you don't care about this, you can stay on 0.1.7.
• The above change messes with UI, so the method to calculate the centre has changed. The math checks out against 3440x1440, but I need reports from people with other resolutions. Please comment here: #3
• Added ability to press + - * on the keypad to adjust positioning. Hold down shift for greater movement increments.

0.1.7

• More robust fishing fix.

0.1.6

• Fishing bug fix. Bit of a "hacky" fix.
