Mine does exactly the same and I'm still looking for a cure.
Anyone??

Anyone We are forced to play with HUD on side screen .. ^^ and in Difficult gamemod, It's not so very easy ...

My hud is fine, but i'm on nvidia. Is this issue limited to ati or does other nvidia users also have this?

I think it's an issue with the ATI Drives / Eyefinity API, I used to get this all the time when I was using ATI cards, despite the fact the drivers are set to a multi-monitor resolution (I used none belze corrected / standard resolutions) the drivers failed to identify to the API that Eyefinity was being used. The result was any HUD centring system that used the API didn't work.

I've been using 2 Radeon 7950s with Catalyst 13.3 beta 3 and my HUD is centered. I'm thinking it may have something to do with Bioshock not properly detecting your multi-monitor aspect ratio. What resolution/screen configuration are you using? Do you have the option in the Bioshock Infinite display settings to set your aspect ratio to multi-monitor?

Edit: I'm not sure if it'll do you any good, but you could try setting the XGame.ini file to read only after making the suggested changes.

Edit 2: You could also try editing DefaultGame.ini from \Steam\steamapps\common\Bioshock Infinite\XGame\Config. I found the following variables that seem related:

[XCore.XScreenManager]
;This will set the safe rectangle to the Viewport size, except for in a few multimonitor set-ups, and will ignore the SafeRect values below.
bUseDefaultSafeRect = true
SafeRectX0 = 0
SafeRectY0 = 0
SafeRectX1 = -1
SafeRectY1 = -1
;The maximum aspect ratio for the default safe Rect, if our monitor setup can fit this ratio,
;the default will cover every monitor, if not it will try to find a centered monitor setup to fit it.
;Initial Value = 16:9, Try to fit to our max supported ratio.
MaxDefaultSafeRectAspectRatio = 1.77778

I haven't "multi monitor" option in aspect ratio, just 4:3, 16:9: & an another one, and I set to this, but not "multi monitor"
I think AMD is working on this probleme to correct this in next beta drivers ?

Registered to post this here since I was having trouble finding a fix to center my HUD (eyefinity) and the following worked for me.

In "XGame.ini" located in C:\Users\(USERNAME)\Documents\my games\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Config, edit this:


[XCore.XScreenManager]
bUseDefaultSafeRect=true
SafeRectX0=0
SafeRectY0=0
SafeRectX1=1920
SafeRectY1=1200
MaxDefaultSafeRectAspectRatio=1

to be this (for 5760 x 1080):

[XCore.XScreenManager]
bUseDefaultSafeRect=false
SafeRectX0=1920
SafeRectY0=0
SafeRectX1=3840
SafeRectY1=1080
MaxDefaultSafeRectAspectRatio=1

Save the file and change its properties to be read only (else launching the game resets it). So you can customize the HUD, the values for SafeRectX are left and right pixel min and max, while SafeRectY is down and up.

Just to add, for the Steam version the correct config file appears to be Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Config\DefaultEngine.ini

Also, it didn't work until I made sure bUseDefaultSafeRect = true was changed to bUseDefaultSafeRect = false
