Crucial elements of HUD cropped on various games

It is something that Xbox could control by making it a safe zone standard for games to adhere to and adopted as a quality assurance check for games made available for purchase. Why have a minimum size box if it means nothing?

In answer to your question, I cannot get the green lines to show on screen, only the blue lines (which are well within view).

I have bought my games from Microsoft store. so please do not redirect me to the manufacturer of the individual games.

I have bought games that are not fit for purpose since they cannot be played. Microsoft are obviously aware that there is overscan, they have defined a minimum display area for the xbox and yet are not enforcing games to place all crucial graphics within this.

At this point I do not feel that there is a settings solution that will work. There are none for the tv or the xbox.

I look forward to hearing any potential solutions

Hello Colin ,



Greetings!



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



It seems that you're experiencing issues with the display on your Xbox Series X games on your Toshiba TV. It sounds like you may be experiencing overscan, which is when the edges of the display are cut off and it can cause important elements of the display to be cropped out. This can be caused by a number of factors, including the TV settings, the HDMI cable, or the Xbox settings. Let us help you get to the bottom of this.

As per description that you have tried adjusting the aspect ratio and sharpness but not able to get the green lines visible on the screen only the blue lines. In this regard, you can try adjusting the settings on your TV itself or adjust the display area settings in the game itself if that option is available or you may contact the manufacturer of your TV on how to proceed.

It is also worth noting that some games may not be optimized for your TV’s aspect ratio, which can cause important elements of the display to be outside the “minimum size” box. However, this is not an issue with the Xbox Series X itself, and it’s not something that Microsoft can control. If you’re having trouble with a specific game, you can try contacting the game’s developer for assistance.



Thank you for bringing this concern here and glad to provide the information on how to address your concern.

Hello Colin,

Thank you for getting back with the thread.

What we can suggest is to use the Report a Problem app on the Xbox console to report an issue or unexpected behavior in a game or app, which helps Team Xbox investigate and fix problems on the Xbox console. This improves the gaming experience for you and everyone else in the community. In the title of your bug please add [Xbox Forum]

On the other hand, you can try using different monitor or using a compatible TV that is compatible with the Xbox settings.

We thank you for bringing this concern here and glad to provide the needed information to help address your concern.

Sincerely,

check the settings for HUD transparency. if that is set to transparent none of the HUD elements will be visible

The game plays a lot better now than it did months ago. I am anxious for the next patch that is supposed to bring all the CTE improvements. Increased tick rate and the ability to adjust the HUD elements will do wonders for this game..
