StarCraft II Campaign Ultrawide - Updated

StarCraft II Campaign Ultrawide - Updated

Good news!

I am wrapping up a massive update to the ultrawide hack for StarCraft II. I should have it uploaded shortly to the GitHub repo.

  • Fixed many position and scale issues with the HUD scale feature such as hotkey display
  • Added FoV scaling for hub areas to prevent the image cropping closer when stretching to ultrawide (Hyperion, leviathan, etc - also have not tested cutscenes yet)
  • Added max zoom out distance and a zoom steps count selector (+100% shown - obviously impacts performance)
  • Added dark mode and a proper icon to the app

65% HUD scale and +100% zoom distance

FoV increased in Hyperion lab

StarCraft II Campaign Ultrawide

I'm working on a solution to play StarCraft II's campaign missions in ultrawide. I have it working now, but it is a bit clunky to make work, so I have some more refinements to make. I have also resolved the UI becoming fragmented, as past solutions have caused. This behaves more like the Warcraft III native UW support.

The real problem isn't the feasibility of the solution so much as the terms of service. This requires memory modification, which if detected, Blizzard would likely not be happy with. Despite reports of old solutions like Flawless Widescreen's now broken plugin for SC2 not resulting in bans, I would still be cautious when modifying the memory of this game.

I have included checks in the helper app to verify you are playing an offline match, and it is a campaign mission, so it cannot be used in online or competitive play. I have not had any trouble in a few days of testing, but I will play a full playthrough of the entire game (all campaigns) before I release this for other people to try out. If all is well and I release it, still note that you are assuming a risk by using it. I can't guarantee it won't be flagged by some kind of anti-cheat, resulting in an account ban.

Update: Available here!
