One line summary of your issue
Broken UI layout with wide screen 3840x1600 resolution

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Using windowed mode I can switch the game to my monitor native resolution which is 3840x1600 and then switch back to full screen mode to retain that resolution. It's worth noting that the Settings maximum resolution is 2560x1600 when windowed mode is disabled so you need to go through Windowed mode to select the native resolution before disabling Windowed mode again.

The game seems to be working just fine in that resolution except for some screens where content at the bottom is overflowing. See screenshot.

UI layout seems fine in 2560x1600.
UI layout is broken in 3840x1600.

It seems that at 3840x1600 the game is performing UI scalling as for 4K screens which it should not really.
Not sure if it's a Unity issue or something on your side.

It would great if you guys could support that resolution properly as the game looks awesome when the UI fits.

Steps to reproduce the issue
- Plug a wide screen monitor such as Dell U3818DW.
- Launch Battletech.
- Go to Settings/Video.
- Enabled Windowed mode.
- Select 3840x1600 resolution.
- Apply settings.
- Go back to Settings/Video, disable Windowed mode.
- Apply settings.
- Go to Campaign Barracks MechWarrior Roster.
- See how Tactics skill is outside the screen.

The game is limited in what aspect rations it supports:

It seems that resolution is still not supported in v1.1 even though work was done to support other wide screen resolutions.

Still not support for that 3 years later... not cool guys!

Actually that works, you need to go windowed mode and use borderless mode through battletech launcher. Enable unsupported resolution and pick the one you want.

Hello everyone, I'm sure everyone here loves this game, but like me does not love how their brand new PC's seem to struggle with it. Searching this forum, Google, and Reddit I've finally figured out how to get this game to run well, and also keep my graphics card from sounding like it's...
