BFV 16:9 ScreenSafeAreaWidth?

Question

Hello all, I am playing on a 21:9 ultrawide and am trying to center the hud to a 16:9 aspect ratio. Is there really no way to adjust the screen safe area on BFV? I've tried editing the&nbsp;ScreenSafeAreaWidth in the profsave_profile file and it doesn't change a thing. It works fine for BF4, but not BFV..&nbsp;

Yeah&nbsp;@mouhlito&nbsp;unfortunately I am realizing that. What confuses me is that EA staff&nbsp;@EA_Darko&nbsp;recommended the usual fix for this issue (works in bf4 and bf1 no problem), so that makes me wonder, do they even know this is an issue?&nbsp;

Hey&nbsp;@kaimuh&nbsp;if you look in the file can you find and edit the following:
GstRender.ScreenSafeAreaHeight 1.000000GstRender.ScreenSafeAreaWidth 1.000000

Hi Darko,&nbsp;I did change the&nbsp;GstRender.ScreenSafeAreaWidth 1.000000 in the&nbsp;profsave_profile file. For instance, I changed it to&nbsp;GstRender.ScreenSafeAreaWidth 0.750000 since that is what I use on Battlefield 4. It doesn't change a thing in game though. I even tried changing the profsave_profile file to read only as well, that also does nothing.&nbsp;

Hey @kaimuh Try this

@mouhlito This is the same thing Darko and I were discussing above. It literally works on a majority of the other Battlefield games EXCEPT Battlefield V. Pretty annoying I must say.
