The Sinking Metropolis bought a visible uplift with an Unreal Engine 5 remaster, together with bringing high quality of life enhancements and enhanced gameplay. It’s free for present homeowners, which is at all times appreciated, and you’ll nonetheless entry the unique in case you don’t need to play the UE5 model.
Like the unique, although, not every thing is ideal. The ultrawide implementation continues to be lower than par, with pillarboxing added to cutscenes and dialogue scenes. Fortunately, Rose from the widescreen group has launched a brand new patch to handle this, similar to they did for the unique launch.
Fixing The Sinking Metropolis Remastered Ultrawide Subject
The patch from Rose extends ultrawide help to cutscenes and dialogue scenes, eradicating the black bars from the presentation. Basically, that is what the sport ought to appear to be whereas being performed on an ultrawide monitor, and the back-and-forth switching of the presentation within the default state could be fairly annoying.
Putting in the patch is a fairly easy course of:

When you’re carried out, launch The Sinking Metropolis Remastered and all of the letterboxing will probably be faraway from the cutscenes and dialogue interactions, which make up chunk of the playtime. Here’s a screenshot from Rose of the patch in motion:

That is the best approach to play the sport in case you’re on an ultrawide setup, and whereas there could be a number of awkward compositions right here and there, it’s a superb patch that shouldn’t be crucial. Although if you wish to take away the patch for some purpose, merely delete the information that got here with it within the zip file.
I doubt that the builders will contemplate extending ultrawide help, because it was by no means added within the unique both. The remaster was a chance to do that, however I’m glad that we bought one thing no less than.
