Lightsaber Ambient Glow Disappears in Ultrawide

Question

Lightsabers do not give off any ambient glow (character / environment) when playing in Ultrawide resolution.

Specifically this is only occurring when running the game at ultrawide resolution (21:9). If I switch to windowed mode and shrink it down to a lower resolution, the glow shows up fine. Otherwise, I can only get the glow to appear by swapping sabers while unsheathed, and as soon as any animation takes place the glow disappears again.

Is anyone aware of how to resolve this and still be able to play in UW / fullscreen and/or borderless?

Unfortunately the engine does not currently support 21:9 , 1920 x 1080 is the highest official supported resolution, higher resolutions are being tested but unsure if ultrawide will be included.

Further observation shows that this also applies to force powers (e.g. lightning), which really diminishes the look of the game in UW!
