Is there any way to edit the HUD via config or .dll hook?

Could be worse, at least it's not like The Witcher 2 where they actively block off the side monitors...

Post by TheScorp »

I had the HUD problems on Eyefinity aswell. It should say Eyefinity behind the resolution when running the Setup tool, which it didnt for me. This was on 11.8 preview, with 11.8 CAP2 installed.

The way I fixed it was this:

1: uninstalling my cap files, rebooted
2: Downloaded the newest 11.8 driver
3: Installed said driver
4: Installed the 11.8 CAP 2 profiles, rebooted

And voila, when running the Setup thingie from Steam now it actually shows Eyefinity behind the bigger resolutions.

Why this fixed it I really dont know, but I am really not impressed by ATIs drivers in the first place so not that surprised..

OH, and LOVING the game. Alltho, it is causing me to have some really, really long work days as I tend to only get couple of hours of sleep because I just have to do "one more missioN". >.<

O.K. greetings all friends, I have been able to identify the reason of low fps: DX11:

Here are 2 screens to compare DX9 vs DX11 standing in the same spot
As we can see DX9 = 126 fps DX11= 71 fps, so basically DX11 equals to 55 fps or 43% performance drop

Also, SSAO takes a good chunk of frames. Though it already appears to be off in those screenshots.

Are you expecting us to take this seriously? 60FPS at 5780x1080 (or whatever resolution you're probably running) is very good. It's not "shit". If you want shit FPS go try playing Metro 2033.

So go ahead and tell us your monitor Hz specs, I'll be surprised if it's more than 60Hz. In which case 60FPS is the max you'll see from your monitor anyway, the rest of the frames get dropped.

DX11 uses more advanced versions of the algorithms to make the game look prettier, so of course it'll run slower. If you can't notice the difference then just use DX9. Your screenshot looks like it already has a lot of the goodies disabled (AA off? SSAO off? DOF off?).

It's under my system specs it says the moniter runs in 120Hz

I did a little experimenting. The (eyefinity) label only shows up in the game setup menu when crossfirex is disabled. When I disable CF I do get a correctly centered HUD. When I re-enable CF the HUD pops back to the outside screens.

After you disabled CF, did you go back into the setup utility?

I uninstalled all of my CAPs, rebooted, installed 11.8 cap 2, rebooted, disabled CF, opened the Deus Ex setup and saw (Eyefinity) after my resolution. HUD was centered, but the performance was crap. I re-enabled CF and the performance is better, but the HUD is no longer centered. I'm just dealing with it and playing w/o a centered HUD. The game is great. I do wish it would load my cards a bit more in CF -- I get 60-80% loading and could use the FPS. Playing everything maxed, High FXAA at 6048x1080, averaging around 45fps.

The HUD centers for me just fine, I didn't have to do anything but set my resolution. Makes me think that some of you are trying with a pirated copy, which didn't; get updated.

Abram, that's ridiculous, a bunch of people have this HUD not centering issue (including myself, and you can see I own the game on steam), it must not be affecting anyone because it doesn't affect you?

Thats one hell of an assumption. Fact is I purchased my game for $78 Aus dollars from EB games......game is updated via steam and no centered hud!!!!

Ah okay, just disabled cfx again and went into the set up utility and sure enough it showed 6048 x 1200 Eyefinity.....went into game an hud was centered. Why on earth is it that having cfx enabled breaks this.
