Looks like Amd users get a centred HUD - Nvidia is spanned.

Oculus Rift support can be enabled by editing Alien Isolation\Data\ENGINE_SETTINGS.XML following these instructions from reddit. I gave it a quick spin last night on the DK1 and it worked relatively well.

That's disappointing. It's not the end of the world for this game in particular, but I'm pretty tired of spanned HUD's on multimon setups.

I added Toothless Spoon's screenshot to the DR and changed the "Multi-Monitor issues" to a "Minor Issues (B)" rating due to the spanning of the HUD.

I have also sent out Social Media posts with this information.

I've noticed an annoying artifact/bug when playing Alien: Isolation on my Nvidia powered rig. The lens flare effect that accompanies use of the flare in-game is wildly stretched, which really detracts from immersion.

How far into the game is that? I can see about power-pushing through the game to see if that happens to me on my AMD rig.

Not far, I hadn't met the first survivor yet or even had enough items to craft an item yet. Less than an hour into the game I imagine. I noticed it immediately once I popped my first flare. I've been looking for a solution to the problem and stumbled across these forums, so I thought I'd post this issue for anyone else who is playing this game. I've got all graphics settings set to max, except that I keep Vertical Sync disabled (which still yields screen tearing when enabled, but I imagine that has to do with a triple monitor setup).

You can pick up the flare really early on - maybe an 1 hour at most? This kinda of effect still happens with Battlefield and some other games, it is a shame.

If anyone is interested:

Made a fix for NVIDIA users regarding the spanned HUD.

The HUD should now be centered. The fix will be part of FWS soon;))
