Hi there.
There is a new update that is now available to play on an open beta branch that fixes most of the Widescreen Monitor issues. This fixes the Ultrawide Monitor crash and has improvements to the Widescreen Monitor resolutions issues. This version is available on an Open Beta branch for testing over the weekend and will be officially released early next week.

The team is also working on Full Widescreen Monitor support which will be available within the next couple of weeks.

So if you have a Widescreen Monitor with this open beta update:
- A player with a widescreen monitor, on launching the game, the resolution is set by default - 1920x1080
- Go to the Settings Screen, on Video, choose 2K resolution (if supported) and Turn Off Full Screen, thus choosing windowed mode.
- A 2K resolution in windowed mode is much better than FullHd in windowed mode. This should be done for both Widescreen Monitors and Ultra Widescreen Monitors
(further Widescreen support will be available in the next couple of weeks too)

To participate in the Beta program, go through the following steps:

- Right click on Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance in your Steam Library
- Click on Properties
- Click on Betas
- Click on drop-down menu and select "Beta - Open Beta"
- Then Steam should automatically update the game and download the Beta.

Today, we're rolling out the first of several patches to enhance performance in Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance. This hotfix addresses some localization issues related to ammo and weapons across multiple languages.

Additionally, we're addressing issues with Widescreen Monitors and the Ultrawide Monitor crash reported by many of you. The Ultrawide Monitor crash fix and improvements to the Widescreen Monitor resolutions issues will be available on an Open Beta branch for testing over the weekend and will be officially released early next week.

The team is also working on Full Widescreen Monitor support which will be available within the next couple of weeks.

The incoming patch, available now on Open Beta and released fully next week, resolves the following issues:

Fixed a problem that could lead to the "black screen" and crashes when starting the game on wide screens;
Fixed a crash problem if for some reason the video or audio adapter was not initialized
Fixed UI bug in 4K on the infantry training screen;
Fixed several rare random crashes;
Fixed disappearance of the squad's healing indicator;
Fixed a rare bug where the task "Clear Legion forces out of the area" in Abiquiu was not considered completed due to hidden single Legion units;
Additional allied forces have been added at the beginning of the Movement Outpost mission so that the player can fight off Rev-6 even if he came to the mission with a very small army;
Integrators on the Santa Fe outskirts mission should no longer immediately become enemies due to the player's unit accidentally passing through their territory;
On the Nueva Tortuga mission, a rare bug has been fixed due to which the mission could be considered lost when Luiz, Mason's or Church's squad leaving sector;
In multiplayer now only one artillery slot is given per reinforcement phase.


And if you have a Widescreen Monitor with this open beta update:
A player with a widescreen monitor, on launching the game, the resolution is set by default - 1920x1080
Go to the Settings Screen, on Video, choose 2K resolution (if supported) and Turn Off Full Screen, thus choosing windowed mode.
A 2K resolution in windowed mode is much better than FullHd in windowed mode. This should be done for both Widescreen Monitors and UltraWidescreen Monitors


To participate in the Beta program, go through the following steps:

Right click on Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance in your Steam Library
Click on Properties
Click on Betas
Click on drop-down menu and select "Beta - Open Beta"
Then Steam should automatically update the game and download the Beta.


Our team is working diligently to deliver the next round of fixes and improvements as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!

Windows Defender rather over-zealously stops the game from altering files required for the game to run. Game is brilliant RTS.

This had nothing to do with screen resolution for me. Games running great. Well done, deep and tactical.

I'm ultrawide, but the beta didn't fix it for me. I thought about refunding.
