can we please get proper ultrawide and wider fovs please, at the moment all it does with anything wider than 16:9 is cut the top and bottom off the picture instead of extending the sides

even console ports can get this right so how come a dedicated pc game like eve cant?

Console ports are not dealing with source code for the game that is more than 10 years old, which is a problem those console ports do not have to deal with.

Historically you are in the same place many of us were years ago when the 16:9 first came out. CCP was very slow to re-write the code to support that resolution choosing instead to focus their small group of developers on projects that affect the game and all of it's players instead of the select few that could afford the latest gee whiz graphics tech. When enough time had passed that the 16:9 monitors were more or less the standard monitors that came with new computers then CCP added that resolution to the game. Even as a player with one of those fancy pants new monitors with significantly higher aspect ration than 16:9 I for one hope CCP stays true to history and does not waste time chasing the latest graphics tech.

On the other hand IF CCP can add support for the newer resolutions without taking devs away from projects that affect the gaming community as a whole then they should do that.
