It seems like the resolution is not supported even you can select it in the menue. Its basicly cut of in the top and buttom. Is there a workarround?

Yeah I've been asking about this whilst playing the beta in the past, it doesn't seem to be priority for them. Only thing I have gotten last year was that "it's on the list". Not sure if that means it's at the top of the list or at the very bottom.

That would be pretty bad. Maybe a dev can answer the question again? I mean i guess we have alot of users out there with the same issue.

Playing the game in 21:9 mode is still an issue on the menus. In a few menu screens, some buttons might not be visible. To work around this, we suggest using a 16:9 or 16:10 resolution on these 21:9 monitors whilst on these menus.
In the missions, you can set the native 21:9 and everything works correctly. The main problem is on the management, encyclopedia and tutorial screens, which only work correctly, for now, on the 16:9, 16:10 ratios.

Will you address the problem (cut off Menu in 21:9) in a patch?

This is something that is still planned to be fixed. Apologies that it hasn't been fixed so far.

IMHO widescreen support should be part of any newer game nowaday.

Yeah I saw your post from October when they released the demo. I was hoping they would actually fix it but that's certainly not the case. I am using 32:9, 3840x1080, game is unplayable. I can start the mission but HUD is so big there is not much else to see. Also game is completely zoomed in and cut out in menus so I am not even able to switch to windowed mode and some lower resolution. As they haven't addressed this since October I think we'll depend on internet to fix this for us.

From what I've seen on the Discord they are going to fix it eventually, when that is, no one knows. I've been playing it in 1920x1080 resolution, it's a bit jarring to look at considering it stretches out the image.

same with 3440 x 1440 feels like the top part is cut off

I will purchase the game when support for 32:9 monitors is added (5120x1440).

I don't really want to be playing a game with buttons that don't work or having to deal with ugly black borders as a previous poster says support for ultra wide monitors should be the default in 2024 and not something that is fixed/added in a some time in the future patch.

It's even more surprising to not have higher resolution support for an RTS game as well.

In my case nativ resolution 3840x1200 (32:10) i set the follwoing values in the config file.

<render.mode.width>3840</render.mode.width>
<render.mode.height>1600</render.mode.height>

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Terminator Dark Fate\profiles\5cf1fdac13fcb8d84a47b83e787050d0\gameoptions.xml

It is still a bit streched but at least i dont have the feeling to play tetris on a gameboy.

Is it a workaround? Yes. Is it a good one? No, not even close.

Barely, I know the devs are going to fix it, just for now I am not suggesting for people with widescreen or higher resolutions to purchase the game yet. Once the patch for higher resolutions is out then I will update it as I clearly stated in my review.
