So my brother and his friends were playing Black Ops 3 multiplayer in split-screen mode. His friend goes down, tries to check the score, and accidentally hits the dashboard button instead. My brother who is still alive is of course still playing and it takes a moment of confusion before his fingers stop moving everything around on the Dashboard.

When they get back into the game everything's a bit squished horizontally now, with vertical black bars on either side of the screen. Like when watching an older TV show on a modern wide-screen TV. It's fine in single player and when using other games and apps. It only looks weird in split-screen Multi-player on that one game as far as we can tell.

Wouldn't be that big a deal if that wasn't 90% of what gets played when that particular friend is over here.

Anyone got any idea what might be happening here?

I'm assuming on a console? Which one? Not sure if the Playstation calls it the dashboard by default.

Did you dig around in the video settings for the console or within the game? I had a similar instance occur on the Xbox One when a game thought my TV had changed (for some reason) and I had to go back into the settings and just reset it.

on Xbox one and yes I looked through everything i could think of. Haven't checked in a few days cuz we got Infinite Warfare as a replacement. Enjoying it so far. Much funner campaign IMO.
