CK III - Game Menu and UI in UltraWide are cut-off.

[LuPoNe]

Short summary of your issue Game Menu and UI in UltraWide are cut-off.

Game Version 1.0.2

What OS are you playing on?
Windows

What platform are you using?
Steam

Do you have mods enabled? No

Have you tried verifying your game files (Steam only)?
Yes

How much "pain" is this causing you?
8

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
When starting a game, the UI elements are cut off on the top and bottom, when running the game at my monitor native resolution, Ultrawide 3440x1440 (21:9 aspect ratio) and in the initial main menu there are black bars on the left and right side.

While in gameplay it looks theoretically "fine", opening the main menu shows that the whole screen space is "cut off" on the top and bottom (Vert-), while I expected the same approach as the other PDX games that I own, a Hor+

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Set the resolution to Ultrawide 21:9 (either 2560 x 1080 or 3440 x 1440) and you can easily reproduce the issue. The game works fine in 16:9

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
Just use a 21:9 resolution, or anything other than 16:9

I also have the same problem, it's annoying.

Apparently, as indicated by someone else in another thread related to the same issue, it also involves the Dinasty tree and that's the most game breaking bit of this issue.

This is not the only problem. Some areas of the GUI are scaled, some others are not. The panels fonts and dimensions is too big for me, but if I reduce them I can’t read the unscaled gui (prestige indicator for example)

Same issue here, with the same platform, version, OS, etc.

I have, however, only noticed this in the initial character selection windows. When you select the years the top of the screen and it has 4 pre-selected leaders, the top and bottom of the map are cut off and I cannot scroll. So for example in 1066, Rags to Riches, I cannot view anything north of France or south of Italy. If I click 'Play as any Ruler in 1066, then the map is correctly zoom and scrollable.

- edit: I cannot scroll through the dynasty tree either. I did not notice this until I played a longer lasting game where the tree had spread out a lot. I have not found any kind of workaround to let me move around aside from clicking on the buttons to move to the current dynasty head and my current player. Otherwise, no scrolling is allowed on the dynasty tree page.

If I have the issue occur elsewhere I will update this post.

I have a 49'' CRG9.. playing on 5120x1440 is realy bad... like it is in every single paradox game
I realy had high hopes, CK3 would do it better

This is still an issue in 2025 with an entirely unmodded vanilla game.

Most UI menus are ok, but I'm also running 5120x1440 and the escape menu is almost completely cut off and out of scale, and there's nothing to bring it in scale. Luckily the "Options" bit at the bottom is still slightly visible that I can select it to configure graphic options.
