Hello, I've recently installed PCSX2 and for the most part it works flawlessly, but whenever I try to use a widescreen patch for any game I play, it never works. Whenever I enable the patch, the game remains stretched and says "1 game patches are active" in the top left, so I assume it's applying, it's just not working for whatever reason.

I've scoured the entire internet for someone who may have had the same problem, but I can't find anything.

I've tried using different builds, different settings, even different versions of the same game, but nothing works.

Right now I'm using night build v1.7.5240

I'm not sure if this will help, but I thought I'd list my specs in case it's a problem with my PC:

GPU - AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D

Motherboard - ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II

RAM - 32.0 Gig

Monitor - M27Q P 1440p 165Hz

I've also attached some images to show that I have in fact turned on the widescreen patch, but it remains stretched.

If someone could help, it would be very much appreciated!

not sure you should change aspect ratio

Changing the aspect ratio doesn't make a difference. It remains stretched either way, unless I force 4:3.

is this for all games ?
or you have only one and the widescreen patch is borked ?

Emulog? Do you mean through the system console? If so, here are the logs:

i don't see anything wrong, there.
maybe try resetting everything to default, enable widescreen patch and nothing else, then test

Didn't work, unfortunately.
