Ultra-widescreen

Ultrawide Hexedit for Steam versions[citation needed]

Whilst the information on the WSGF post is accurate, you will not be able to find the hex codes on a retail steam copy. This is because a steam retail copy has steam DRM, in order to hex edit the game, you must use Steamless to remove the drm from the EXE to allow for hexediting. Download and extract Steamless Run steamless and navigate to <path-to-game>\Draugen\Binaries\Win64and select Draugen-Win64-Shipping.exe. After running a new exe will be created, rename or delete the original "Draugen-Win64-Shipping.exe" and rename the new exe to match "Draugen-Win64-Shipping.exe". You must now follow the steps outlined in the WSGF post and edit the new exe through hex editing. Run the game through steam, not from the newly created exe.

DSR only works through windowed bordeless[citation needed]
If running the game with DSR enabled you must have your desktop resolution set to your desired DSR value. The game must be launched and the video mode set to borderless windowed, this will force it to take your desktop resolution.
