is an action RPG developed and published by . It is the second Monster Hunter title to come out this year, after Rise. Unlike Monster Hunter Rise, Stories 2 is available on multiple platforms including PC, and the Nintendo Switch.

Fixing the Monster Hunter Stories 2 Ultrawide issue

The game does not come with either ultrawide or multi-monitor support. This is disappointing because CAPCOM regularly releases their games on PC, and it would be nice if they would add this basic feature, as more and more players move to ultrawide setups.

The current solution for this problem is imperfect. We won’t be using hex edits like we normally do, but simply edit the configuration file.

Keep in mind that, while the game will run in ultrawide mode, the UI elements will be misplaced. It might also occasionally show black bars. However, compared to what the game looks like by default, this is still much better.

Follow the steps below to do this.

  • Head over to where the game is installed. If you want to do this using Steam, here is how you can do that.
    • Open Steam, and then your library
    • Right-click on Monster Hunter Stories 2, and then Manage
    • Select Browse local files next

  • Here, open the config.ini file using a text editor like Notepad, or Notepad++
  • Now, under the [DISPLAY], edit the following values
    • Resolution (to your desired resolution)
    • Aspect (to your desired aspect ration)
  • As an example, we are setting the resolution to 3440×1440 and the keeping the aspect ratio at 21:9. It will look like this.

Adjusting the values in the config file will allow you to fix the Monster Hunter Stories 2 ultrawide issue
