Lazarus187 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Just purchased a BenQ XL2411Z monitor for my system. Reset Fallout 4's display settings to match my monitor's native resolution ( 1920 x 1080p ). Now I'm experiencing an odd graphical "glitch" were a octagon-shaped "shadow" appears around the HUD ( in both 1st and 3rd-person perspective ), but ONLY while wearing power armor. See screenshots below for reference. The issue disappears once the player character exits the power armor. I've tried enabling/disabling various graphical options ( shadows, Godrays, etc.) but nothing seems to correct the problem. Does anyone know how to remedy this issue? Thanks in advance! http://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab252/Lazarusmage/ScreenShot1.pnghttp://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab252/Lazarusmage/ScreenShot2.png
NorthWolf Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) That's quite strange. Did you have a 4:3 monitor previously? The shadowy stuff you're seeing there is part of the power armor HUD mesh, but your power armor HUD seems to be weirdly horizontally compressed for some reason which is why you're seeing the edges of it -- normally it's a more subtle vignette on the edges of the screen. Did you have any mods that modified the power armor HUD? Edited June 24, 2016 by NorthWolf
Lazarus187 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Hey NorthWolf, thanks for the reply. I was using a 5:4 monitor ( Viewsonic VE710b ) previously. I'm not running any mods at the moment. The power armor HUD mesh continues to be visible even when the PC isn't wearing a power helmet.

NorthWolf Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 The power armor HUD appearing even without the helmet on is actually vanilla behavior (for reasons unknown). It seems to me like you've gotten locked into a 5:4 aspect ratio (also for reasons unknown). I would suggest trying to delete your Fallout4.ini and Fallout4Custom.ini. Make backups before doing so. Try deleting Fallout4Prefs.ini if that doesn't work. Also make a backup before doing so. For reference, you can find those in: %userprofile%\Documents\my games\Fallout4 Let me know if that works. I'll do some more digging if it doesn't.
Lazarus187 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) SUCCESS! It appears the issue was with the Fallout4.ini. Once that was replaced, the problem cleared up. Thank you so much for your assistance! Edited June 25, 2016 by Lazarus187
