HUD Resolution Bug

[JayLeo]

I was playing Fallout 4 for a while and when I alt-tabbed and returned later, the HUD seemed squashed and was off center. There was a bottom right corner completely uncovered by the HUD... Its not 100% unplayable but it makes stuff real confusing. I've had this problem before but sometimes just exiting and entering the window again fixed it. But now it won't change. Any help is appreciated.

Have your tried restarting the game or your PC?

Alt-tab issues are common, expected, and easily resolved with a restart or reboot.

If you have not done those, the issue is a non-issue becuase of your lack of trouble-shooting.

Alt-tabbing again is not the solution.

For information purposes, my monitor is 16:9 running at 1920x1080p with no mods.

I have restarted my game and it fixed it but I was wondering if there were any alternatives that we're able to be pulled off without having to save, exit, restart etc etc. And no I won't reset my PC if I can just reset the game.

If the game reboot worked, no need to reboot the PC.

Alt-Tabing is not perfect, never was, never will be. Its a known issue with ALL games that alt-tabing can and will cause issues.

If it works most of the time, but ocasionally does this weird thing, deal with it.

If it does this all the time, dont alt-tab, and deal with it.

Basically, deal with it, that is your option.

Now, had the reboot of the game not worked, and had rebooting the system not changed anything, THEN you would have a real problem we could *possibly* help with.

It worked, thanks for the help, I'll look into it further but for now, this will do.

Hey i know this is from 2016 but if you press shift + tab to bring up the steam menu before alt tabbing it won't do the thing. 🩷🩷

This was useful. Thanks! Folks above saying alt-tab issues are expected either live in 2016, or they work in software and are very bad at their job.

So I'm having essentially a similar issue, but I have a steam deck. Restarting the game and the system didn't change it. It's also this way when in any menu screen like the pip boy.

It wasn't this way before the steam deck compatibility update either

try manually using an older version of Proton? I think v7.0 was the last before HDR and gets used quite often for games where HDR breaks things.

I have no clue how to do that. I'm on deck

Go to the advanced launch options in the games properties, there is a drop down list you can select from ;)
