I just got a new ultrawide monitor 5120 x 1440, and now when I start the game the mouse cursor is off-set and does not hit the buttons!
The cursor hits a bit higher than the visible cursor, in effect making the lowest buttons in the menu unreachable.
The visible cursor will be as low as possible to the lower part of the screen but still hitting above the lowest buttons.
This means that the Reset Settings, Resolution and Window Mode buttons are all out of reach.. just the buttons I need to click.

I reinstalled the game but the client settings were saved somewhere and did not reset.
I have also tried changing my windows resolution before I start the game but as soon as I get into the game menu it off-syncs the mouse cursor.
So a way to default reset the client would be nice. I dont even know how to play the game now.. Im happy for any suggestions.

Also tried to screenshot how it looks for me, but the cursos does not show on the screenshot so it makes even less sense..

Ok, found a fix.

My monitor can do PictureInPicture which forces the monitor to split into 2.
It actually wants a 2nd displayport cable to be inserted for the send part of the monitor, making Windows and any software that is running only identify half the monitor size. This allowed me to start the game in 3440 x 1440 which is fine and which also was the resolution of my previous monitor.
Problem solved thanks to the PictureInPicture mode of the monitor, but still an external settings reset alternative should be availible without starting the game.

Just to confirm, did you tick "maintain vertical field of view" in the game settings?
