wide screen?
i'm on a native 2560x1080 resolution wide screen monitor, any idea how i can force the game to use up my whole screen and not have two black bars on the side?

Ultra wide problems. I have a reg and ultra wide. Ultra only works with the black bars.

At the moment, the supported resolutions seem to be

800 x 450
1280 x 720
1366 x 768
1600 x 900
1920 x 1080
2560 x 1440
3840 x 2160

and that's it. It can't handle anything else, and all of those resolutions are 16:9. What happens when you have a different resolution depends on which of

Full Screen
Windowed
Borderless

you've set the game to - none of which will cause the actual game content to fill the entire screen if your monitor is not 16:9. Windowed results in the game being displayed in a window, so you get to see the desktop around the window. Borderless seems to make it full screen with black bars. Full screen is the weird one, since it seems to do the same as whichever setting you picked previously (windowed or borderless), though if you restart the game, what you get when it was set to full screen mode seems to vary (trying it a couple of times, I got windowed mode one time, whereas the other time, I got windowed mode without the window, so it looked like borderless but with the desktop there instead of black bars). So, I'm inclined to think that full screen is buggy, and I don't know what it was supposed to do. Maybe it was actually supposed to fill in the screen with content, and they haven't gotten it working properly yet. Either way, they definitely don't seem to currently have provided a setting where the game can resize itself to have its content fit the full screen - which is good in the sense that they didn't warp the image to make it fit, but ideally, they would actually put real content where the black bars are instead of insisting on 16:9. And they didn't handle the black bars with borderless properly either in that they don't refresh. So, if you get something like a steam achievement message box popping up in the right corner, you get a smeared version of it stuck there forever instead of it being black after the message box goes down again.

Personally, I have a 2560 x 1600 monitor (which is 16:10), so I get black bars on the top and bottom, which doesn't look terrible (it's exactly what typically happens when playing a movie), but I would guess that it looks far worse with ultra wide screens, since if it's 32:9, then you basically get half of a 16:9 monitor's width worth of black bar on each side of the game content. However, as terrible as that is, I don't know quite what they would do with the game content to make it fill the full screen if they don't want to make more of the arena visible (since that could theoretically affect what players do). However, I would think that there's a similar fighting game out there that's solved that problem, since ultra wide screens seem to be pretty popular with gamers these days. Maybe full screen is what was supposed to do that, and we'll get it with a future update. But for now, black bars or desktop seems to be as good as it gets for anything outside of 16:9.
