CoD: Black Ops - Screen Cutoff fix? :D (SOLVED)

[qtPy]

Hello all,

So a few days ago I saw that CoD: Black Ops was on sale and obviously I jumped on that because this game is awesome. I noticed something, however, whilst playing the game and whilst it is a small thing, it is bugging me.

The screen seems to cutoff a lot of space around the edges and whilst it doesn't obstruct anything important it means perks are juuust clinging on to the side of the screen, and the zombie round counter is doing the same. (Wish I could just send an image of this, sad)

So yeah, I checked it wasn't the aspect ratio - mine is 16:9. I checked the resolution - mine is 1920x1080. I am not sure what else it could be. Hoping one of y'all cool people are able to assist me. Thank you in advance. :)

(SOLVED)

CoD: Black Ops zombies on PC seems to have an issue wherein both the perks and the round counter are right up against the left-most side of the screen.

This is not an issue unique to me, nor a few people, but seemingly CoD: Black Ops Zombies PC players as a whole experience this.

As the files relating to these features are not HUD related (not listed under cg_hud in the .ini files) they can only be changed by a modification to the .ff files. Perhaps someone will create such a mod in the future.

Thank you all for the help on this!

that sounds similar to the xbox version, you could have a screen safe zone where you would effectively line up the outer edges of the screen to your tv/monitor outer edge

wondering if theres something slightly off on your monitor and if it has something similar, as those game settings are correct for a 16:9 full hd monitor

Hmm, perhaps. My monitor is a Full HD 1080 BUSH Monitor if that helps. The screen itself is set to point-to-point (fit) in the monitor aspect ratio settings. :)

with problems like this is best to avoid all Auto options and manually set them so you know they are correct

just checked my own setup on incorrect 16:10 and correct 16:9

both rounds and perks are literally right up against the left hand edge in both modes

sounds like maybe you are not having a problem at all

Ah, so maybe it's just a PC issue? :) That's fine. I wonder if there is a .ini file fix then, or perhaps a player mod that has already changed it.

I'll leave this post up in case anyone has any fixes. Thank you for the help though! :)

Could you send a screenshot or picture in some way, that would be helpful to understand the issue better!

EDIT:
Got the image, saw the problem

Now, since we know it can't be edited in the config, and is not related to the normal HUD, I made a mod to solve the problem

it clearly is a hud issue, not a screen cut off, or just that OP is playing on a cheapo Bush screen

Not really, cause if you disable the HUD, the round-counter and perks are still visible.
OP is just complaining about how it looks, and therefore I made the mod, just to adjust the positioning a tiny bit.

yeah but theres nothing wrong with it, and unless he can provide a screen shot theres not a lot to go off

its not cut off, but right on the outer edges

i really need to fire my xbox up and compare, cos my hunch is his Bush (which is a rubbish brand) screen is the issue

[THESMF1210]

ok, on the xbox version its pretty much the same, perk is flush with the edge once i adjusted the games safe area correctly in options, so if OP was used to this on console and never adjusted the safe area setting so it was aligned in the screen correctly thats what would throw him off

also the pc version has a different field of view, on Kino when you start you can see to the side of the nazi banner on the left and the bottom of the stair rail post on the right, on xbox the nazi banner is flush with edge of the screen and you wont see the bottom stair rail post on the right

OP is not a he fyi :)

Guess that's personal preference
