This also happens to me every game. Having a bot replaced with an actual player has reset it for me before. Adjusting text scaling during the game will also occasional fix the bug

I have this bug as well at 80% HUD Scale. Trying to find any way to reproduce.

In the meantime, you can reset the hud by Alt + Tabbing out, then back in. Or you can use Alt + Enter to toggle windowed mode on, then off.

I have been having this exact problem, the HUD just craps out and can’t tell my health or shield. Then I am constantly 1 hit cause I can’t determine my stats. Below is some examples I see. I have cropped image as I am running 4k.
