For STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R players, this guide will show you a possible fix to disable the black borders in ultrawide resolutions.
Quick setup
Hello ultrawide enjoyers! ^ ^

Steps:
1. First we need BepInEx! Download your version here.. we need #674. https://builds.bepinex.dev/projects/bepinex_be
(If you’re using Windows: BepInEx-Unity.IL2CPP-win-x64-6.0.0-be.674+82077ec.zip
BepInEx Unity (IL2CPP) for Windows (x64) games)

2. Next we need the fix itself https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ds0jTIZFDoUOxsN7V34X8Fqp6FGy6c3q/view?usp=drive_link
( https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload if you’re concerned)

3. Now we will open the game’s main directory and unzip both into it
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R

4. After extracting both files we need to attempt running the game once to create files

5. Once the game has generated the files we need, we will be editing BepInEx.cfg and changing one line to false.
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R\BepInEx\config

6. Now you can enjoy the ultrawide experience!
(You may want to go into SecondStoryRFix.cfg and set the window mode section to WindowMode = 2 for borderless window)
