I recently got an ultrawide monitor so naturally, I wanted to try Terraria on it. However, to my surprise, Terraria limits your range of vision to the width of your monitor. To my observations, the width of your resolution decides how big your field of view is. Extreme example: if you made the window very thin but extremely tall, you could see an insane amount; however on the flipside if you have a widescreen resolution set it will basically make you see less.
As far as I can see, the game is best played on a square resolution since that allows you to see the most of both width and height. In my opinion I believe it would be better if terraria had a fixed height of view so that it would play a bit better. I hope the devs can look into this.
P.S. every single resolution I try other than 3440x1440 (the resolution of my monitor) causes the entire screen to look either low-res or heavily stretched. 1680x1050 and 1920x1080 were the ones I hoped would work, but sadly no.
