Hi there!
Whenever I try recording in 3440x1440 I get some strange artifacts in the bottom 20% of the recording. It is especially noticeable on icons and text. The preview in obs is fine, but it is visible in the recorded files. So my only solution is to work around it by recording a 3840x1440 canvas with black bars on either side. This isn't great since it complicates processing the video down the line. Shadowplay does not show the same problem at 3440x1440.
Here is a sample of the problem. The recording is just of the windows desktop, but it is visible in game recordings as well.

Note the distorted icons as well as the bad readability of the text. The distortion of the "X" on the right side is pretty noticeable, too.

I have attached the logs for both recordings.
I have literally had this bug for years now across many different versions of OBS - including the most recent as of posting this. A quick search for 3440x1440 on the forums reveals that others are encountering the same problem. Although nobody seems to have a solution.
