Fallout 76 – unable to see health and ammo in hud

[kruge99]

Hi All,

My Search-Fu is failing me today.

I’ve tried the ‘provided’ Fallout 76 profiles but the sides are cut off when wearing power armor and I can’t see my health and ammo meters even when I ‘peak’ out using the middle mouse button. Is there a setting I can tweak to make the view see these things? Thanks in advance if this was already answered from a newb.

Best Regards,

Ho do I link a photo from imgur?

If I could attach a picture I can show how the power armor and pip-boy are cut off on the left and the right side of the screen. Hud scaling does nothing to change this view. I’m disappointed because the settings and the provided cloud profiles do not seem to make any difference.

forgive the copy and paste mods but I feel my reply to another post does answer this

“I bought VorpX to use with Fallout 76, I’ve had 3 diffarent results, 1st result was great, could read everything, move quite smoothly ect, nothing bad to say but I had the chatmod installed and it caused a conflict with the enter key so I removed that mod, also, as I was testing things, I tried a 2nd profile for Fallout 76, this wasn’t so great even though I’m no longer using the chat mod, so I reverted back to the 1st profile I tried.

everything was better again… except now a 5th of the pipboy doesn’t show on screen and the text… normal loot text looked like it was too small and unable to render properly, used the edge peak and it all became readable, so at this point, I took of the head set (oculus Rift S btw) and looked at my monitor… Fallout 76 was only half my screen rez and looked horrid, I reset the screen res but got distracted by my team mates and ended up playing back at my normal 1920×1080 rez but to FOV was still set to the VR (not really a issue once I got used to it lol) and then it was too late to hook in the VorpX to retest but I did notice that my pipboy and text was again all on screen and also readable when I was playing with out the VR hooked in, I’ll test later with VorpX hooked in but I’m hoping this will help figure out why your game looked the way it did :) I will also update this with my findings later”

So my findings are such :

Fallout 76 using VorpX with standard profile makes Fallout 76 half the screen size of a wide screen monitor (16.9) and thus cuts off the edges of the Pipboy and HP bars ect. the fix? 1st go in to VorpX in game menu and change “Change screen resolution” from Yes to No. Go in to Fallouts settings and change the resoloution to match what your scren size should be, exit out of Fallout 76 and reload, take headset off but don’t place it down so Oculus thinks you’ve quit using it, check screen is full screen, settings should good now.

Side effect bonus to doing this, Fallout keeps the Peek function and you can zoom in and out of menu’s ect and make team mates names smaller (this does somethig wierd to player names but it helps focus.

Other Side effect is the FOV is strange but it needs to be like that for VorpX.

Hope this helps you :)
