Hi,

Let me start off by saying I'm extremely impressed at how this game handles Eyefinity/surround setups. The immersion is extreme (I seriously got dizzy the first time I was running circles in my Jenner). It's light-years ahead of most other games.

There is a small problem however, with (as always) HUD stretch. From what I can see from testing, the way the HUDs (meaning: text chat, target info, weapon banks and damage status) are displayed as follows:
- If the current resolution settings are in a known aspect ratio (4:3, 5:4, 16:10 or 16:9), the hud get stretched to that size.
- If the resolution is wider (because the user is using multiple screens), the HUD uses the maximum width: 16:9.

This is way better than most games, where the HUDs would have ended up on the far ends of the side screens. It does, however, give a small problem when the screens being used aren't 16:9 screens.

For example, I run three 16:10 screens. Because the HUD gets stretched to 16:9, it means that parts of the text chat, target info and weaponbank displays are on the side screens. This in itself wouldn't be a big issue (though chat can be a bit tricky to read). It does however present a problem when I have bezel correction active, then these parts are actually invisible, making text chat unreadable, and I can't see my ammo count.

Now, this absolutely isn't a show-stopper. I've currently turned off bezel correction, and am learning to read text over two screens. However, it would be nice if there was a setting `HUD aspect ratio' (either in the config screen, or in one of the config files), where you could specify at what aspect ratio you would like your HUD to be set.

Once again, this is just a minor nitpick on an otherwise excellent implementation, and definitely won't stop me playing the game. But it is a Beta, after all, so I thought I'd point it out.


TL;DR: Can we have an option to change the aspect ratio at which the HUD displays?

Hey,

I have the same issue. Will there be a fix for it?

[VictoryRoad]

Has this been fixed yet? I get the same thing.

Same issue here. I'm looking for a command to get the aspect ratio as i want (3X 19'' 5:4 monitors, yeah, i'm weird)
