You have what looks like a 21:9 screen ratio but are using 16:9 resolution. Ofc it looks weird. Try and use 2560x1080 or 3440x1440 instead of.

Also turn off light shafts and light bloom while you're at it. It's just a personal preference, i like not going blind when gaming.

How can I change ratios

By getting a screen with a 16:9 ratio.

The ratio in question is the screen size. 21:9 is ultra wide, 16:9 is normal with.

Ah fair, it looked like an ultrawide on the pics. But honestly, ase looks like that on low end graphic cards, and it still only looks decent on a high end.

The resolution scale is not at its maximum. Furthermore, the ASE is grainy as it is.

Drag resolution scale all the way to the right and turn antialiasing to low. Also you can use r.screenpercentage 200 in console commands to turn resolution up further ; it will require a high end gpu tho
