    So just to clarify, there is a resolution for 2560*1440 for the game.  I seemed to correct the issue by making two changes but don't know what fixed it.  One was selecting a 2560x1440 resolution at 144hz, which is the native resolution for my monitor.  The second was adjusting a default key binding for the menu that may have caused a problem.  Not sure what fixed it, but its resolved.

      @L33Marvin Thank you for sharing this, and apologies for the confusion I had thought you were changing the resolution by messing with files. (I read your post wrong).

      Also, can't wait for the remake!
