How To Fix the Tales of Graces f Remastered Ultrawide Issue on PC

No more pillarboxing!

Tales of Graces f was originally released on consoles back in 2010 and has now been remastered for modern platforms including PC. The PC release is quite solid for the most part and runs well on a variety of hardware configurations. However, it lacks ultrawide support, and PC users will have to deal with black bars on the sides. Thankfully, it didn’t take modder Lyall long to address this, and they have already released a patch that adds proper ultrawide support to Tales of Graces f Remastered.

Tales of Graces f Remastered Ultrawide Patch

The patch by Lyall from the widescreen PC community adds ultrawide support to Tales of Graces f Remastered removing the pillarboxing from its current ultrawide presentation.

As always, installing these patches is fairly straightforward:

  • Make sure Tales of Graces f Remastered isn’t running
  • Head over to the following GitHub link and select the most recent release (0.0.3 as of writing)
  • Download the patch file by clicking the TalesOfGracesFFix_v0.0.3.zip under assets
  • Extract the zip file in the game’s installation folder. The default Steam address is the following:
steamapps\common\Tales of Graces f Remastered

That’s all you need to do. Here is a screenshot provided by Lyall showing the patch in action.

As you can see, the minimap has been adjusted for the resolution, and the black bars (pillarboxing) have been completely removed. Since more of the game world is now being rendered and displayed, there is a chance you’ll lose some performance, but it shouldn’t be much considering the low system requirements.

Outside of adding ultrawide support, this patch has a few more features as well.

  • MSAA Support: This is a superior form of anti-aliasing that comes at a performance cost.
  • Disable Depth of Field: You can also disable depth of field in-game.

These options can be accessed by editing the TalesOfGracesFFix.cfg (using a text editor like Notepad) file after launching the game once. This can be found in the following location inside the Tales of Graces f Remastered’s installation folder:

All credits go to Lyall for creating and testing the patch. Their work is incredibly useful, especially with recent releases like Thank Goodness You’re HereShin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, and Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut.

In addition to Lyall’s patch, a Special K update is also available that fixes the framerate limiter stutters and lackluster PlayStation controller support.

Minor issues aside, this is another solid remaster effort from Bandai Namco Entertainment to revive JPRGs stuck on the PS3. We hope that the developers continue to patch the title and fix these minor bugs and issues.
