21:9 support?

[r4sun]

Hi, just wondering, does the game support ultrawide resolutions (21:9)? Or does it have black bars on the side? Thanks,

It does indeed

Yes, and it looks fantastic, in 21:9 3440x1440 !

I just bought this and I'm playing on a 3440x1440 screen.

While this game does render in ultrawide, there are a few little glitches associated with it:

Movies and the titles screen are vert- so the top and bottom of the image is cut off.

Actual gameplay doesn't cut off any screen information but certain screens that aren't designed for 21:9 are wonky. Like, the snow effect on the overworld screen doesn't look right.

Doesn't seem like a big deal so far but I'd like to see this stuff touched up.

I just tested and the ultrawide bugs are still present. I'd recommend sticking to 16:9 resolutions before launching the game.

I have a 34 inch 3440x1440. There are some minor glitches, but imho i dont see them anymore. Okay, i have 600 hours in the game almost so I might have become a bit blind there. However, Monster Train is a great looking game, but fullscreen on 34 inch is a bit much ;).
We did do a survey and validated with steam hardware survey on the % of widescreen monitors and they were very few at the time. To remove the black bars and really tune everything to the widescreenformat (UI etc) it was just not making sense considering we had so much other cool stuff to develop that would impact the experience of way more people. Then is comes down to making choices, because we dont have unlimited resources.

I've been playing this on 3440x1440 ultra-wide since I first got the game.
I honestly haven't noticed anything wrong with the experience.

Maybe there's something that I haven't seen since I never really compared it to what it would look like when in 16:9 but honestly I don't think it matters.

The game automatically worked at my native resolution with zero tweaking on my part.
That's a win in my book.

There are visual bugs but they're relatively minor. Stuff like the title screen image being cut off when playing in ultrawide (the game zooms in to the image and cuts off stuff that's visible at 16:9), or some weather effects on the map screen being a little wonky.

I just switched back to 2560x1440 and it's fine. Not a big deal either way.
