Compass and text cut off?

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 4:58 am

Hello, everybody! I hope your days are going well.

I just picked up my copy of Skyrim (for the PS3), but my HUD seems to be screwy for some reason. I can barely see my compass (it goes off the screen, so I can only see a sliver of the bottom of it), and when I open my inventory, it seems that the first couple of letters go off the screen as well (so instead of seeing the word 'Weapons', all I see is 'eapons').

I tried calling Bethesda support, but I was put on hold for half an hour and never received any help. I also tried messing around with my display settings in the XMB menu, but no matter what I did, nothing worked. I have a 32 inch Sanyo television (not sure what the model is, but it's an older one; it isn't a flatscreen, and it isn't an HDTV. It looks something like http://lh4.ggpht.com/-1AeSQMNzkpo/SQ6ZDZUU6KI/AAAAAAAAAGE/fXDn2j298oM/s912/DSC_0206.JPG).

Any and all help is appreciated. It's becoming very frustrating being unable to see my compass and everything else that's cut off from my view.

Thanks!

There's a handful of other people with the same problem too. I just exchanged my copy in hopes that it was just an issue with that disc. Everything goes off-screen,including the weapons and such. Like the zoom is too big. I don't know why they didn't include display settings in the in-game Options menu.

Its the tv, not the game, I had to switch my tv resolution to "widescreen" some of the letters are still cut off when i go to the inventory, but at least I am able to see everything else...going to try to change my ps3 resolution also.
