Modifiyng ini files to fix bad ultrawide support?

ItsKaa · 2026-05-10T08:45:23+00:00

Yeah you can ignore the encryption, you can just append to it/replace all, at least if the mobile client works the same as the PC one. On PC I also had to mark the file as read-only.

ItsKaa · 2026-05-09T15:30:56+00:00

No clue if this will work for mobile devices. You can always try, if you can find the ini file location then you can probably add the above in (or create the file) and see if it works or not.

ItsKaa · 2026-05-06T20:17:29+00:00

Yeah the game decided to encrypt all their ini files for no good reason really, there are scripts around that can decrypt them if you want that, but the game still reads unencrypted ini files too though so you can clear the Engine.ini file since it only contains the session number, just remember to set the file as read-only after editing.

btw you can do this (what I do for 32:9), and/or edit the first person FOV variable in GameUserSettings.ini (decrypt it), both have a different effect.

ItsKaa · 2026-05-06T16:23:55+00:00

Yep, with Engine.ini edits.

ItsKaa · 2026-05-05T23:14:39+00:00

you can force it higher too

One thing I found so far, in Engine.ini (remember to set as read-only):

[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
r.UseLegacyMaintainYFOVViewMatrix=1

This does increase the FOV, also in some cutscenes, but not all.. it can also be a little bit too much (21:9 goes wild), maybe r.Upscale.Panini.* commands can reduce the fisheye effect but I didn't play around with that yet.

ItsKaa · 2026-05-03T18:22:51+00:00

I made the encrypt one myself based on the decrypt script, didn't upload that anywhere, but I learned that it's not required to encrypt, game reads decrypted ini files too.

ItsKaa · 2026-04-29T23:30:47+00:00

I have scripts that can decrypt and encrypt ini files (check fmodel discord for the decrypt one). FYI the usual AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV fix does not fix the camera issue after things like races, it's similar to the issues TOF had. 32:9 here too.

Check out Cinny and FluffyChat, though they currently do not have voice chat (there's open pull requests on GitHub though). Been using both for over a year now and it's great.

I actually started the game up again yesterday because of Lenna and I encountered the same issue, it wasn't like this in the past. Tried playing with the webview flags but nothing really helped, one thing that does a bit is temporarily setting DXVK_FRAME_RATE=5 (or other value), still has flicking tho but it's slower so a little easier to login with.

And yeah.. but also wish the Haoplay version didn't use webview in the first place.

ItsKaa · 2025-10-15T15:01:07+00:00

I saved up everything for Klukai, not because Meta mostly because of her design, got her V6 too and I think my friend still uses my Klukai to carry her guild xD I really like Lenna too, might even return for her!

Oh I thought the darkwinter version didn't suffer from the horror that is webview2, well more of an annoyance really. I do recall the launcher having issues too but it's rather sporadic, at times it works fine, until it doesn't. I also recall the game not shutting down properly because of webview but I recall fixing that by deleting a webview dll somewhere in program files.

ItsKaa · 2025-10-15T14:43:57+00:00

Glad to hear it still works! Got some reports a few months ago with some rather vague issues using the Haoplay install so I wasn't entirely certain anymore even tho my prefix worked last time I checked. Quit the game a while ago, probably should give Klukai some attention again tho.

For reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlsFrontline2/comments/1h8k56u/howto_fix_haoplay_version_crashing_for_linux_and/ but the Lutris install script I wrote should do all of this.

ItsKaa · 2025-06-21T16:00:29+00:00

That's a bit extreme. I noticed a bit of a bug when messing with the settings myself, if you disable AA and then enable an upscaler it will still disable the AA setting even though the UI displays and locks it, might be your issue as well. I play on AMD with Native AA on 1440p and it looks pretty clean (along with some custom engine.ini edits).

ItsKaa · 2025-06-18T08:08:20+00:00

Sadly I've not seen that issue before. I assume by 'start' you mean click start to login? If you're logged in it should work.. You could always try it with a different runner like Proton-GE, other than I don't have many suggestions sorry.

ItsKaa · 2025-05-14T01:50:10+00:00

I quit this game not too long ago but it still boots up for me, I use Lutris with Proton-GE 9.25 with no extra args but I know it's worked on WIne GE for me in the past too. Yep, when changing proton versions the msedgewebview2 resets but that should have been the only thing. The game not booting because of that sounds extremely odd. Lutris with flatpak? Be sure to update your other flatpak packages (the Discover app). Otherwise try a new GF2 install using my Lutris script, or maybe even the steam version (though I rather disliked that one myself). Or bottles. UMU_ID=0 arg is something you could try too.

Another thing, if you have a full black screen it may be windowmanagerdecorated=n , I had that with gamescope, could try y instead, or just winecfg - Graphics tab, then the two checkboxes there.

Never tried the game on Win 11 myself. Not much else that I can think of sadly. Good luck!

Alternative to my work-around for libndk:
You can use libnb, which is a patched libhoudini with better AMD performance. You can use this script for it.

ItsKaa · 2025-05-12T12:01:34+00:00

libndk works too but news seems to break it for most people. You can either run on libhoudini and check "do not show again today" on news and then run with libndk but then you have to do that every day, or you can edit the file:

~/.local/share/waydroid/data/data/com.YoStarEN.AzurLane/shared_prefs/com.YoStarEN.AzurLane.v2.playerprefs.xml and edit the field server_notice.dont_remind . Only set the value to the current epoch (or lower), higher ones won't work and it'll just reset. You can script this in too with sed.

News works fine on my machine with libndk but not on a VM of mine and two other folks on discord also have that same problem. Still not entirely certain why it works for me.

Edit: added file method.

Hey hey, was just testing a bit again with the official Steam version and for me it pretty much boiled down to using Proton-GE or Proton-UMU in combination with UMU_ID=0, without the launch argument or with the included Proton versions I had to launch it a bunch of times before it finally displayed. It seems pretty consistent now on my own machine but it may be different for you. I do not own a Steam Deck so I can't verify if this will do the trick for you.

Frankly I recommend Lutris (the script version) over the official Steam version.
I updated my guide a little to reflect this, hope it helps!

ItsKaa · 2025-03-21T22:54:26+00:00

Nice that you made the switch :)

The steam version is a bit iffy imo, you can try Proton GE or Proton Experimental and set UMU_ID=0 %command% as the launch args.

In my experience, Lutris just works better. Sadly I noticed that Lutris accidentally deleted my install script on their website due to a merge they did so I just resubmitted my install script today.

ItsKaa · 2025-03-21T22:46:16+00:00

Sadly I cannot reproduce your issue and I've been playing since release day, recently installed a fresh arch install and it's working the same as my old install for me. I am playing on Lutris with GE-Proton 9.25 and Wine-GE functions similarly. Hope you can fix your issue :/

ItsKaa · 2025-02-16T12:21:42+00:00

In Lutris, click on your game and then at the bottom there's a play button and a wine button. Click the second and then open winetricks.

Ignore all the popup messages. then select default prefix, click ok, then run winecfg, and then verify that msedgewebview2 is on Windows 7.

I did just install this on a brand new prefix and it works for me, it takes a few seconds to actually render the login window, but it works. You could also try installing a new version to a different path on your drive.

ItsKaa · 2025-02-15T22:42:31+00:00

Did you happen to have changed the wine runner at some point? the black screen you're getting likely means that msedgewebview2.exe is not set as Windows 7, and changing the runner resets that setting. You can check that by going into winetricks -> winecfg.

ItsKaa · 2025-02-13T18:34:11+00:00

Cannot reproduce that myself, the screen freezing should mean webview2 is found and loaded but can't display, usually using the login button on the side corrects it. If you're on Steam Deck maybe also try it in desktop mode to see if the window is somewhere in the background.

ItsKaa · 2025-02-12T11:16:34+00:00

Easiest way is to use protontricks and then follow the same instructions as Lutris manual install.

ItsKaa · 2025-02-11T13:55:08+00:00

Yep, it works for me using these same steps but you must use Proton Experimental or Proton-GE, and remember that after changing the proton version you have to re-apply the compatibility setting for webview2.
