Battlefield 3 (BF3) - Fullscreen UI/Menu screen issue

[vitaboost]

I have exact problem you are having and I found the fix. It appears Windows 7 Aero Desktop Theme is causing this problem. Disable it by changing over to Windows 7 Basic instead.

Thumbs up for others to see.

to fix it just go into your options and change the HUD size or the SAFE AREA on some games its simple normally asks you when you first load up the game

@Krazymoe5

I have changed the safe are multiple times, but it only changed the safe are for the in-game screen and not the menu/ UI screen

@perks2013

Yeah as of now I have yet to figure out any solutions as well, I've even tinkered with my graphics card settings, windows display settings and event tried to change some of the games console command settings and yet nothing has fixed this problem..... And I have even created a feedback thread within EA's support page..... And they still have me waiting for a reply :(

@perks2013 Windows 7 Aero Themes was causing the problem for me.  Try disabling it.

Even though I uploaded this video about a week or so ago, I still have not found or figured out how to fix this annoying problem...... FML

I have the exact same issue. I think it's got to do with the GPU on my i5 2500k. What CPU are you running?

[ONE2THR]

@JimmahATC

I got an i5-2500

and an Asus GTX 560

It was working perectly when I first installed the game, but after those few updates ^^^^^^^ this happened, tired every possible solution and it gets real annoying

[perks2013]

@ONE2THR having the same issue and have no answer.. ive reinstalled the game and i still have the problem

[joeri861]

@ONE2THR

I got a AMD Quadcore

and an HD6570 OC

And it is working like a charm even on high settings, i dont have any of those problems.. never had also..

@joeri861

Thanks, but I asked for a possible solution.... Not what your PC spec's were/are

[joeri861]

@ONE2THR well let me try to help you on an other way... Have you tried to install previous drivers of your graphics card? maybe there is even a new driver for your GPU.

If thats not working, try to accept your display settings by pressing ENTER instead of "apply fullscreen resolution". I never touched that button and only worked with my keyboard for accepting

Then maybe when that all isnt working for you try to start in windowed mode and just switch to fullscreen by pressing ALT+ENTER
