Wide Screen (Ultrawide) HUD Fix
Ultrawide HUD fix and disable autohide.
Fixes the problem of the HUD not being correctly placed at the borders of the screen for ultrawide resolutions: someone at the dev team decided to use SizeBox with 1920×1080 width/height override. Fixing it with the editor should have taken one minute, yet two patches later it’s still not addressed.
Also allows to remove autohiding of quick items and healthbar (can be enabled or disabled).
This mod requires Simple Modloader.
Follow the author’s instruction to install Modloader and set up your console key.
To install this mod:
Make sure you have Modloader installed and working.
Unpack the mod’s package and copy the three files named r457HUD.pak/ucas/utoc into your [Path-To-Stalker2-Install-Folder]\Stalker2\Content\Paks\~mods (if ~mods doesn’t exist – create it).
Launch the game to the main menu, open the console (tilde or whichever key you set up, might need to press twice to see the full console output, not just a small command line at the bottom), copy and paste this text into the command line and press enter to execute:
mod add /Game/Mods/r457HUD/r457HUD_Actor.r457HUD_Actor_C
You should see a message that the mod was added successfully. Exit the game.
Now drag the Engine.ini from the mod’s package to this folder:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Stalker2\Saved\Config\Windows
or (which is the same)
C:\Users\[YOUR_WINDOWS_USER_NAME]\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\Config\Windows
(YOUR_WINDOWS_USER_NAME is your actual user name in your system)
If you already have Engine.ini in that folder, open both files with Notepad (or Notepad++) and copy-paste the content from this one to the one you have.
Inside Engine.ini you will find the mod’s settings:
[/Game/Mods/r457HUD/r457HUD_Actor.r457HUD_Actor_C]
bDisableAutohideHealthbar = true
bDisableAutohideQuickItems = true
HUDWidth = 3440
HUDHeight = 1440
Set HUDWidth and HUDHeight to your screen resolution. Set bDisableAutohideHealthbar and bDisableAutohideQuickItems to your preference – true to disable autohiding, false to keep vanilla behavior.
