Widescreen Gaming Forum

I actually find not playing with a hud less distracting - and I'm doing pretty good - mostly mvping matches. In saying that, I'd rather the option to have it, and then turn it off, but I play with no hud on BF4 (HC mode). Should be interesting to see if they have this fixed for launch, I hope everyone is harassing them on forums and social media!

I am doing 1600p surround and playing at 8050x1600, I keep on getting random crashes with
Fault Module Name: nvwgf2umx.dll.

Lots of screen tearing and its annoying as can be. Hud wise / seeing peoples names way too hard. Anyone here figure out any Nvidia Surround optimum settings?

I'm new here, but I've been working on the solution for this because it's bugging me. The game is out, so we're not dealing with beta code anymore.

b0n3z is on the right track,
VPK file location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Titanfall-Beta\vpk

Relevant file
englishclient_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk

Look in "resources/ui/" for "hudmain" and extract. My gut tells me we can just take the default safe area wide:90% tall:%90 and mess with that. One would presume, tall:30% (or somewhere in that range) would bring the HUD back into view on a triple wide setup. With the width, you could possibly even move it into the center monitor. This area is the second section in the hudmain.res file, right under "screen".

There is no safe area adjustment or calibration within the game. For reference, yes, I did check the HUD safe area setting in the Menu, which has the options Large and Small. It does not change this value in the vpk, it changes the value "cl_safe area" from a 1-large to 0-small on line 3 of the file at %user\Documents\Respawn\Titanfall\profile\profile.cfg

How do we recompile this back into the game and test? Admittedly, my programming knowledge has run out at this point.

Hopefully someone can help you out with this. This is indeed another game that needs a centered HUD.

Looks like the author is adding repack support in soon - so that should solve the problem?

Well, in that case, this might be an easy fix with a short wait. He did say "very soon", so my fingers are crossed I can see what the heck is going on before the week is over. Should be an easy enough solution until they patch it.

Titanfall is basically broken for surround / sli gaming

Eh, my roomates and I play in eyefinity without a hud just fine. We didn't even know the game had limited ammo and we play at a rather high level. We've prestiged once and currently at level 28 or so. We all tried going to one monitor and playing with a hud and actually did worse. To us it seems the hud takes away some attention. Although it would be nice to be able to have the option for a minimap.

It comes down to principle really. EA should have taken the initiative to allow the developers a longer window to polish the game more. But they love rushing their products out the door.

I'm still holding out for a HUD fix sometime, but I am more concerned with SLI support. The FPS in surround really is unacceptable.

Hi there, I saw your post on the respawn forums. Can you turn on the FPS display in game, or do you have to use a 3rd party program like FRAPS? The game is capped at 60 FPS right? I'd like to see what I'm getting on my single card setup.

Also, if any of you guys running multi-monitor setup playing TF want to add me, my Origin name is B1ackarrow

No hud sucks... but its still fun.

6000x1080 and having the same issue, waiting anxiously for a fix!

Bumping the thread here.
Was thinking about buying this game for this weekend, but reading here about Sli and HUD issues with NV Surround, is it fixed?
Maybe just wait it out and play some Elder Scrolls Online until the release of Watch Dogs...

Currently there still is no fix that I am aware of, that being said I still enjoy the game. If you can play in hardcore mode you are good to go.
