BepInEx install/uninstall verified end-to-end against a scratch game dir: installs loader + plugin, uninstall removes both and leaves BepInEx/ intact. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# UltraWidePatches
|
||
|
||
Ultrawide (**32:9 / 21:9**) fixes for PC games that ship with poor or no ultrawide support — built and tested on a **Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC (5120×1440)**, and **Proton/Linux-first**.
|
||
|
||
Fixes use whichever approach the engine calls for:
|
||
|
||
- **SUWSF + Ultimate ASI Loader** — runtime memory patching, for Unreal titles (and anything DRM-wrapped, where static patching is impossible).
|
||
- **BepInEx plugin** — a proper C# mod, for Unity titles with the Mono backend.
|
||
|
||
Most force **Hor+ FOV** (a wider screen shows you *more* rather than zooming in) and fix UI that assumes 16:9. Some games already render correctly and only need UI work — [Burglin' Gnomes](games/BurglinGnomes/) is one, and the fix deliberately leaves its camera alone.
|
||
|
||
## Supported games
|
||
|
||
| Game | Engine | Method | Status |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| [Gundam Breaker 4](games/GundamBreaker4/) | Unreal Engine 4.27 | SUWSF | ✅ Confirmed working at 5120×1440 |
|
||
| [Burglin' Gnomes](games/BurglinGnomes/) | Unity 6 (Mono) | BepInEx plugin | ✅ Confirmed working at 5120×1440 |
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./install.sh # list available patches
|
||
./install.sh GundamBreaker4 # install one
|
||
./install.sh GundamBreaker4 uninstall
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The installer finds the game across your Steam libraries, drops the loader + patch next to the executable, and applies any config-level tweak (with a backup). **It never modifies game files.**
|
||
|
||
> **Proton users:** each game needs a `WINEDLLOVERRIDES` launch option or the loader is silently ignored — the installer prints the exact line for that game. This is the single most common reason a fix "doesn't work."
|
||
|
||
Windows users can extract a release zip straight into the game's exe folder; no launch option needed.
|
||
|
||
## Why runtime patching
|
||
|
||
Config-file tweaks (e.g. UE4's `AspectRatioAxisConstraint=MaintainYFOV`) typically fix menus but **revert once gameplay loads**, because the game re-sets the camera per view. Many shipping executables are also DRM-encrypted on disk (GB4's is SteamStub-wrapped, `.text` entropy 8.0), which makes static exe patching impossible. Patching the *decrypted image in memory* solves both problems at once.
|
||
|
||
## Repo layout
|
||
|
||
| Path | What |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| `games/<Game>/SUWSF.ini` | Patch definitions (SUWSF games) |
|
||
| `games/<Game>/plugin/` | C# plugin source + prebuilt DLL (BepInEx games) |
|
||
| `games/<Game>/game.conf` | Game metadata (appid, exe, paths, launch option) |
|
||
| `install.sh` | Generic installer / uninstaller |
|
||
| `tools/build_release.sh` | Builds a per-game drop-in release zip |
|
||
| `tools/publish.sh` | Pushes + cuts a Gitea release |
|
||
| `tools/dump_decrypted.py` | Dumps a DRM-decrypted image from a running process |
|
||
| `tools/aob.py` | Verifies/derives byte patterns against a dump |
|
||
| `tools/read_protonlog.sh` | Confirms ASI injection + per-patch match counts |
|
||
| `tools/unity_diag.cs`, `tools/unity_uitune.cs` | UnityExplorer console diagnostics/tuners |
|
||
| `vendor/SUWSF-x64/` | Upstream SUWSF 2.3.0 + Ultimate ASI Loader (MIT) |
|
||
| `vendor/BepInEx_win_x64_*.zip` | Upstream BepInEx 5.4.23.5 (LGPL-2.1) |
|
||
|
||
## Adding a game
|
||
|
||
1. `mkdir games/<GameName>` with a `game.conf` (copy GB4's as a template) and a `SUWSF.ini`.
|
||
2. Set `METHOD=` in `game.conf` to `suwsf` or `bepinex`.
|
||
3. **Unreal:** start from the UE4 patterns in [`games/GundamBreaker4/SUWSF.ini`](games/GundamBreaker4/SUWSF.ini) — they match across many UE4 titles. If a pattern misses, use `tools/dump_decrypted.py` + `tools/aob.py` to derive the exact bytes.
|
||
4. **Unity:** install BepInEx + UnityExplorer and inspect live with [`tools/unity_diag.cs`](tools/unity_diag.cs) / [`tools/unity_uitune.cs`](tools/unity_uitune.cs), then write a plugin (copy `games/BurglinGnomes/plugin/`).
