Hey,

I've just started playing Half-Life 2 again, and I have never usually used 1280x1024, but as I have a new TFT, I want to use this resolution. I have noticed that the HUD is rather messed up though, I can see my health and shield fine, but I can not see the correct ammo and other HUD popup details, which is rather annoying.

Has anybody had this issue before? And if so, how did you fix it (if you did manage to)?

Cheers,

Dave
 
i had the same thing when i got my new monitor a widescreen TFT at 1680x1050, i never solved it, or worked out why. i thought it was just my game tbh!

Yeah I had that issue too, was never able to find anything on the steam forums related to it.

However I found that either leaving the game and going back to the main menu, then resuming the game sometimes cleared it.

Or, if that didn't work I usually saved the game (created a new save game file), restarted HL2 and it would display as it should when the new saved game was loaded.

PS this was at 1280x1024 as well (7800GTX)
 
That happens when you first change resolution. Just quit the game. Start the game up.

And then it should work fine.
 
I had this problem as well. I found a solution on Steam Support but my pc broke before i could try it out :rolleyes:

Anyway look here.

BTW, i never thought i'd see the day when DaveyD asks for help on a source game :eek::D
 
i also had this issue, i found that if i changed enabled vsync or disabled it (what ever the opposite of what its currently set at) it would show the hud again lol
