I picked up Dragon Age during the recent Steam sale (damn you Steam!).

Ran it for the first time last night and saw how the HUD elements (quickbar, minimap, character portraits) are on the extreme outsides of the left and right monitor.

Anyone ever find a way around this? I searched for mods on Google but came up empty.

TIA,

Wazoo

From what i've tried to find, theres no current fix.

I'm sure there will be a solution somehow. I've had a look at the SDK myself but it's gonna take some digging..

Bioware have just made it quite difficult to edit the UI as their is several UI updates/improvements within the Expansion/DLC.

A fix for disappearing objects on Multi-Screen resolutions due to some kind of Max-Object in View-Area would be needed, too... Bioware never fixed that :roll:

Is this because it's a console port? Because that's the only reason I'd think that would happen.

That might be the reason, but what really irks me is the reason they haven't fixed it yet/wont ever fix it.

Dragon Age is for sure no console port, as the console version is more arcade. I dunno why they did that, but it is annoying when the grass and other environment objects are missing. This is definitely a minus for the atmosphere.

Yea this game is a pure PC game, the PC side was finished 8 months prior to the console release. That's one reason it was released with DLC, as they had time to create extra content.

From what I've read it has something to do with how objects are masked to a certain resolution, and considering were using custom resolutions, from some angles we'll see past this. Pretty sure its an engine problem too.
Not sure what engine this game uses?

Although i think the only place its massively noticeable is the elven wood? Seen other objects disappear but there definitely not as noticeable.
