View cut off on the left

When in the rift on certain games, the left hand side of my view is cut off. Instead of the FOV fading off in the round like it does on the right side, I get a vertical black bar creating a hard edge at the far left. Not all Oculus experiences do this. Some examples of ones that do are HL2 and Delta Draconis. Changing FOV doesn't seem to help nor does changing resolution. Is anyone else seeing this?

    What is your desktop resolution?
    Are you mirroring or extending your desktop?
    Are you using HDMI or DVI?
    What other Unity demos are giving you this issue?
    Have you gone through the Configuration Utility and readjusted your IPD?
    As for Half Life 2, has it always been like this? What settings have you adjusted?

    It's possible that you have set your graphics drivers to overscan or pan the monitor. Settings like this exist to tweak the display so that the image fits neatly on your TV or monitor, but if you adjust too far, you'll clip off the edge of the Rift display. You should check and make sure that both of these features are disabled or set to 0%.
