reted

Or maybe you shouldn't use just 1 or 2 save game slots... whoa so its the players fault for having a game breaking bug, and non existant support from the company who made the game? And after spending 60$ on the game? I understand your frustrated with the bug, but you can't really expect them to have it fixed 1 week after its reported. As far as lack of support, I would have to disagree. Just go take a look at the Atari /Test Drive Unlimited 2 forum. Not a single Dev post in about 3-4 months. Ohh and we've been waiting on the 3rd patch for 3 months. They announced it was "almost out the door" in early April.

Yeah I did do the whole break in period by watching blu ray movies or cable. Although honestly it was probably closer to 70hrs before I first played a game on it. Never really had any issue's until Fallout New Vegas, I was playing 8hrs a day for weeks before I even noticed the HUD causing image burn. And like an idiot never noticed the HUD opacity options in the menu until after my first playthrough (approx 65hrs). That one stuck for a couple week's before it finally went away. More recently with Infamous 2 I played about 20hrs before looking for opacity options (hence the name reted). The sillouette of the energy bar is still on there, although you have to be pretty close to the screen to see it. Its a Panasonic Viera 50"

I've been seeing a few games offer it lately, although not many. I know Infamous 2 has it and I want to say Two World's 2 did but I'm not certain. I have my brightness and contrast settings below 50 (out of 100). I knew image retention is always an issue with plasma type TV's when I purchased the TV. But the true 500hz refresh rate and much truer black's is what made me decide to get a plasma. Also the TV has built in anti image retention software it just doesn't work as well as I'd hoped. Also it's not really that much of an issue if I can force myself to take a good 30min break every hour or so, but that's especially difficult with an RPG game, the desire to continue looting and leveling is just too strong! Its not so much the mini map I'm worried about. Mostly the character icon, available abilities, health and mana bar's that could be an issue.

Thank you sir! I wonder if the option may be added through a future patch. I'm really craving a good RPG to play until RAGE or Dark Souls comes out. I just know I'll end up playing for 8 hours straight and be stuck with my characters face forever burned onto my screen! Thanks again for the help.

So out of the 40+ people who have viewed this thread, none have ever opened the options menu......? I would really like to know before I decide to buy this one.

I did a search for "HUD" and "head up display", didn't turn up anything. Probably because its a dumb question. Anyways, the question is. Are there any options to adjust HUD opacity? I have a plasma TV, that's why I'm concerned. From playing the demo (which was great) it seems the HUD will be hell on my TV, and there are no opacity options on the demo. I'm hoping there is in the full game.
