MO2 and Widescreen (21:9)

[Bluegunk]

I have a 21:9 monitor and using NMM I have three tried and tested ways of using Skyrim SE with it. First is to use Flawless Widescreen, a popular piece of software. Secondly is to amend the SkyrimPrefs.ini with the screen size. Third, to add a mod that amends menus, etc.

 

In MO2, the obvious thing would be to amend the Prefs INI in Default and any profiles. But MO2 refuses to act on any amendment to the Prefs.ini and presents me with Skyrim Launcher's interpretation, a smaller, wider letter box screen in which everything looks 2 feet tall.

 

I did try running Flawless Widescreen as an MO2 exe, but that didn't work.

 

Is there a way I can force MO2's Prefs INI to take precedence?

 

Thank you!

Oh wait - I seem to have resolved this myself by making sure ALL the Prefs INIs are the same, and Flawless Widescreen's Generic settings also have the screen size as additional "insurance".  The two common widescreen Nexus mods work OK now, too.

So - user error as usual!  I'll leave this pasted here to help others.

The prefs should of loaded from the profile, Its being a bit temperamental to be honest. Testing compiling with Tannin's code optimization settings and it seems to be working. So will release 2.0.8.3b with it.

Yes - that's what I'm used to!  Thanks!
