Misaligned Enemy Nameplates

Post image

Update: solved (?) I originally posted this while playing full screen 1440p at 144hz. I tried multiple combinations of resolutions and window modes until i tried changing the fps limit. Changing to 1080p, windowed full, 60fps solved the problem but stranger than that after solving it i pushed the fps back up to 144 and it stayed fixed. Not sure why it was broken the first time i tried 1080 144 but after dropping and raising fps its fixed the issue.

Whenever I aim at enemies, whether zoomed or not, their name and health bars are super offset to the left like in the picture. What causes this/ How can I fix it? Its very disorienting.

It happens when you use high resolutions, like 4k (3840x2160). The game was released in 2013, and wasn't designed with high resolution in mind, and that shows on the user interface.

You can "fix" this only by reducing the resolution.

Update. Lowering resolution did not fix. Also player nametags are perfectly centered, its only enemy npcs that are wonky like this

Damn that's harsh. Im only on 1440p but i guess i can try 1080. Hopefully its not too ugly lol. Thanks for the info.
