BFBC2 HUD not all on centre screen.

[Mach1.9pants]

As the title says, my new set up has the HUD partially onto the outer monitors so, for example, the mini-map is split by the bezel. This is running 5760x1200 and didn't happen on my EF set up. I note that the display options only give 5760x1200 @59Hz -not 60 (it shows 59.999 or something like that in the ini)

So is it the same for everyone?

As an aside how to you use bezel comp in NV Surround?

Cheers

nVidia Control Panel should set up Bezel Comp resolutions for you if you say you want to use Bezel comp during Surround enable. Then just select the BC res. For me, the BC res of 5760x1200 is 6064x1200. :)

[Mach1.9pants]

Under what setting? Is it called bezel comp, I cannot see it? And is you HUD on centre screen only? with or without bezel comp

Cheers

EDIT: or maybe i have to disable and re-enable surround to get that option,?

[Paradigm Shifter]

Yeah, disable and re-enable Surround, and during the Surround setup process it will ask you "are you happy now, or do you want to use Bezel Compensation?" or words to that effect. If you select no at that point, you're left without until you go through it all again.

I'm not playing BC2 on Surround; for whatever reason, that system does not like PunkBuster - just having the process running gives me random BSODs. A different rig is fine, though, so I play on that.

Cheers, hopefully someone else will pop in too

I play BFBC2 in NVIDIA Surround and my HUD is centered perfectly using bezel compensation @ 6060x1080@60hz.

To my knowledge you no longer need to disable/re-enable surround to access bezel compensation since the 260.xx drivers, once it's enabled, under the "Configure SLI, PhysX, Surround" menu, click the "Configure..." button under "Span displays with surround" and a menu should pop up asking you what you would like to configure, either "Displays" or "Bezel correction".

I'm not sure if that was what you meant by "pop in" but if you want me to play with you I gladly will :P

[Mach1.9pants]

haha no I meant pop in to this thread- your welcome to join me with 200 ping to NZ though! I don't like bezel comp in online games, I'd rather no have the bezel to look around but funny looking lines. In eyefinity the HUD and menus stay on the centre screen no matter what the res.

But thanks that works :) 6090x1200

[Mach1.9pants]

Almost works, still cuts off the edge of the map and most of peoples names on the chat. So can you confirm that ALL of your HUD, mini-maps and chat are on the centre screen?

The menu is the same, in EF it has black bars top and bottom but fits on the centre screen, however in NV there are no black bars and the menu spills onto the outer screens as does the HUD. Is there anyway I can fix this apart from bezel comp. I guess I would have to over-compensate (i.e. have more than the bezel hidden) to 'pull' in the map and chat so it is not under the bezel.

Any help appreciated

6090x1200... Menu: some options hidden (on the other side you cannot see the ticks and crosses on the server filters).


5760x1200... Menu: split by bezel, no black bars below or above like with EF.


6090x1200... In Game: Map (very annoyingly) partially under bezel, cannot see own teams score.


6090x1200... In Game: Text chat, as above, half my name is missing.


5760x1200... In Game: Map (also very annoyingly) split by bezel.

My HUD is centered in the middle screen, it isn't split between at all the bezels at 6060x1080 or 5760x1080 (no bezel comp).

My guess is that the HUD is centered based upon a 16:9 aspect ratio, and you are using 16:10 monitors. If I set my resolution to a triple-wide 16:10 resolution, such as 5040x1050, then my HUD, as well as all the menus in the game are split between the bezels. Why NVIDIA Surround doesn't adjust the HUD/menus for 48:10 like Eyefinity does, I do not know. :-( I looked around the configuration files for BFBC2 and found nothing that looked like it could change the way the HUD is centered.

Like you said, overcompensation of bezel management is the only solution I can see, and you'd need to add so much that it would give you at least a 48:9 aspect ratio. Which is a pretty crappy solution, to be sure.. :(

[Mach1.9pants]

Hey thanks for the confirmation... I was wondering if it was just me! I will go native and live with the split, I am not scrimming this anymore so I can live with the distraction... although I'll still buy a beer for anyone that figures how to fix it :)

[Paradigm Shifter]

A 'messy' fix would involve running at 5760x1080 or 6060x1080, and living with narrow black bars at the top and bottom.

[Mach1.9pants]

Yeah but I love my vertical pixels (16:9? ++SPIT++); still I'll give ya half a pint for that ;)

[Paradigm Shifter]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of 16:9, but it won't be long, I fear, before we no longer have a choice. :(

If you've got an interesting ale, I'll take a half. ;)

[Mach1.9pants]

Dunno what happened, wasn't even a patch. But the HUD etc is all on the centre screen now WIN :D

[Robby]

I had the same problem, and have figured out what I did to fix it.

You have to set you desktop resolution to the non-bezel corrected resolution (e.g. 5760x1080) but then set you in game resolution to the bezel corrected resolution (e.g. 6000x1080). I think it was screwed up because I had my desktop res at bezel corrected and then it was overcorrecting when I set the bezel corrected res in game too. For me, this fixed the off center issue. Now to see if it doesn't ctd anymore since my OS wipe.

note: having bezel corrected desktop res along with non-bezel corrected in game res made my game even more off center.

[Kame_Sennin]

I just noticed something VERY STRANGE.

I have the same problem as you all : HUD not very centered.

And i have some FPS problem too, as i have SLI... i'm beginning to think that SLI sucks...


Anyway. I forced BC2 settings.ini to use DX9. And i had the surprise to see the HUD Centered !!!!

WTF ??!!!

[Mach1.9pants]

Well I am still playing in single screen, I hope they hurry TF up with the patch...

...though I am sure I will be dropping BC2 like a stone for BF3 BETA!

[tet5uo]

Yeah it's odd.

Try having your desktop set to 1920x1080 and launch the game at 5760x1080. The whole thing gets shifted to the side monitor.
