3440x1440 resolution not working properly.

Having an issue with my new ultrawide. The resolution I want is 3440x1440. I can switch to the resolution and the UI elements are fine, however the game rendering does a weird "stretch to fit" thing that looks to be the aspect ratio is wrong. 3440x1440 is 21:9 and it's clearly not utilizing it. Is there a fix or work around? I have already tried adjusting the .ini files and tried every resolution offered in windowed, fullscreen, and fullscreen windowed in hopes it would "fix itself" with no luck. Monitor is connected via Display port to a GTX 1070 with fully updated drivers, not that that could really be an issue. Image provided for context.

    There is a number of possibilities given you have already checked the client_resolution file

    1. try a different connection method, ie display port instead of say HDMI

    2. try a different video driver 

    3. use CRU (Link) to create an EDID override with just 3440x1440 and no aspect not supported around that resolution

    No dice. CRU didn't offer 3440x1440 at 21:9 nor allow me to add it. As for different drivers, that is a LOT of digging to find one that "might" work if it even exists. As for connections, already tried HDMI and currently using display port. I suppose if neither of those work and SWTOR is the only culprit, there must be a different fix. I do however appreciate the help.

    @Atomic-Number-92

    Create an override with 3440x1440 @60Hz the resolution determines the aspect ratio, what occurs is there has to be an error in the edid table listing another aspect resolution.

    Create an ovveride with just 3440x1440 listed if that is the native resolution for your monitor.

    Edit - add an example link with someone else with same issue and fixed with CRU

    Please tell me OP found a fix, because this happens with Apex Legends as well, absolutely unplayable when crosshairs are stretched and looks like ❤️❤️❤️❤️
