Step 1: Check Your Connections

     Before diving into settings, let’s ensure everything is plugged in correctly:

• HDMI Check: Make sure your HDMI cable is securely connected to both your Xbox and your TV. A loose connection can lead to display issues.
• Try a Different Port: If your TV has multiple HDMI ports, try plugging your Xbox into a different one. Sometimes, a single port can be finicky.

Step 2: Restart Your Xbox

     Sometimes a good old-fashioned reboot is all it takes:

• Press and hold the Xbox button on your controller.
• Select Restart console and let it power back on. Launch S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 again and see if that fixes the display issues.

Step 3: Adjust Display Settings

     Your Xbox has a range of display settings that can be tweaked for optimal performance:

• Go to Settings > General > TV & display options.
• Ensure the resolution is set to match your TV’s capabilities (for example, 1080p or 4K).
• Check the Video fidelity & overscan settings to ensure everything is set correctly.

Step 4: Update Your Console

     Keeping your software up-to-date is key to fixing bugs:

• Head to Settings > System > Updates to make sure your Xbox is running the latest version.

Step 5: Perform a Hard Reset

     If all else fails, a hard reset can help:

• Press and hold the Xbox button on the console for about 10 seconds to turn it off.
• Unplug the power cable, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in and restart your console. This can clear any temporary glitches causing display issues.

Step 6: Try Different Display Modes

     If you’re experiencing weird visual artifacts or issues, try changing the display mode:

• In the TV & display options, switch between 4K UHD, 1080p, and 720p to see if one setting resolves the issue. This can sometimes help with compatibility between your Xbox and TV.
• Try to enable Play Mode on your TV

Step 7: Try to Reset your TV Settings

     Depending on your device, navigate to settings and reset them to check if that helps.
