Fullscreen Display issue on Ultra-wide monitor
I just purchased on the summer sale and I'm having trouble with displaying fullscreen.

I'm rumnning 2 HD7870s in crossfire and an ultrawide 3440x1440 monitor.

I can get the game to display fullscreen without a black box all around (I have black sidebars which is reasonable), but the game image is clipped. On the menu screen, the menu is clipped.
The first time I started in fullscreen, I got the same thing, but I had a full menu which ran over the game screen into the black border, but I haven't been able to repeat that.

I posted images to screenshots because I couldn't see how to attach them in forums.

Any help would be appreciated. I can post the output log if that would help.

I sometimes have this same issue (though my monitor is a meagre 1360x786). For me going to the main menu and switching back and forth between the different screen options (windowed, full bordered and full stretch) seems to work quite well, eventually I'll always end up with the right setting. Hope this helps.

Tried playing with that. Best I can do is fullscreen bordered which leaves me with a tiny game and big borders. Screenshot uploaded.

Another problem I'm having which may not be related to the display is that the game hangs on the tutorial at the point where you are supposed to go the the camp. (Same screenshot).

Seems to be okay using the map outside of the tutorial. If the tutorial isn't important, I can live with it. Would just hate to miss out on learning important details.

There have been some problems reported with ultra wide monitors before. We'll have to look into those...

I have the same issue on my Samsung (single) 3440x1440 screen when I try to play in full stretch mode. Tried with two different video cards under both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, same thing.

Unfortunately the full bordered mode puts borders on the top and bottom of the screen as well as the sides making the game too small to play.

Old games that don't support this resolution normally display fine in the centre of the screen with a border on either side so Convoy seems a bit strange in this respect. I guess the game supports wider resolution and it's just a bug that stops it displaying correctly.

Im also having clipped screen troubles. Im on a 2560x1080 29" ultrawide. Stretch fullscreen would be perfect but the black bars on right and left clip off the sides of the game screen and I cant see stuff. Windowed is so tiny I cant read the text and borderless is like windowed. What can we do? This looks SO fun but I cant play it.

If you have the patience to wait for another 30-40 minutes, you might have your answer sooner than you think.... ;)
