"Incarnate that's silly, it's not like there isn't an option to properly fit the hud to a 16:9 screen, when you represent it like that it looks like there isn't an option to fit it properly."

I fully agree with this.

Incarnate that's silly, it's not like there isn't an option to properly fit the hud to a 16:9 screen, when you represent it like that it looks like there isn't an option to fit it properly. You should show the game like it is actually played not how it comes by default.

I'm sorry that people don't like the aesthetics of the default HUD. It could certainly be improved a lot, but it is centrally located for a reason. On a larger screen (especially a 27-30in display) "fitting" the HUD to 16:9 moves the radars too far to the outside of your central FoV. Having the radars central to your eye location is an advantage. So.. it's "properly" fitted to 16:9 screens for that exact purpose.

But, I totally agree that it doesn't look particularly "fitted" (it was a quick hack, and we really need a "widescreen" HUD that prioritizes critical data centrally and moves less pertinent info out to the edges). So, perhaps I should have shot the video with the extended HUD for aesthetic reasons. I did what I did.

Anyway.. upshot: Some people don't like some things about my videos. Duly noted, sorry to hear that, and will consider these points in the future :(. But, also: too goddamn bad.

This is a non-issue.

Just move the the radars (and perhaps some other elements of HUD) closer to the center of the screen on 16:9. The sides will simply be more empty than on 4:3.
