Ascension to Samsung G9 57’
Yes you can do that with any ultrawide. Simplest way is to just play windowed mode with a 16:9 resolution. If you want it to be 16:9 borderless windowed in the center of the screen you can use BorderlessGaming with a "Set window size" config, though that approach can be a bit inconsistent sometimes.

No support for 3440 x 1440?
I don't know if its a fix, but Try grabbing Borderless Gaming. See if you can force it into a resolution you want. I would try it myself but...

Game won't run - Help!
Turn off screen rotation lock and rotate the display so it's portrait. This allows us to launch the game without issue into windowed mode (it's full screen landscape that's the problem). Now rotate the screen back to landscape, game will still be running in a window. Now use Borderless Gaming (or your favorite borderless window full screen app) to make the window into full screen. https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming/releases/tag/9.5.6
