So far today I've had the folloing in about 10 matches

- mini map missing totall

- Main tactical map not displaying

- Main HUD missing

- Targeting info missing from HUD including player info overlays (pressing Q)

- launching game as spectator in my own mech. I could pilot but not reticle only mouse cursor

- some of or all of the above at the same time except spectator mode)


Additionally there is a lot more missing textures and flickering textures since the last patch

Adding some stuff:
- Minimap jumps around
- Hud says "dist 1m" all the time
- The yellow markers on the tom are not cleaned after drawing, so they create a yellow bar on the hud after a while...
- Matches with 7 vs 3

Maybe the devs should fix at least SOME of the bugs before adding new stuff...

- One game with low fps and psychadelic block minimap
- One game with psychadelic colours everywhere
- One game where in-game Tab team/score list has duplicated section of four players (looks like enemy had 12 players!)

Nvidia 560Ti, latest drivers.

Have experienced all the points mentioned plus a keyboard control bug. Have a couple of times encountered going into a game and no keyboard control. Mouse is fine. Can't wait for more fixes and less bugs...

Well how about let's be constructive. I've invented a new game called Interface Bug Bingo. When you get an interface bug, look it up on the Bingo board and mark that square. Complete a row, column or diagonal in a single game to win a Special Prize!

It adds a whole new dimension of fun to MechWarrior Online.

Sometimes IFF completely gone on HUD.
Most times not IFF in full zoom.
First time: Empty player list on TAB :blink:

I get some kind of HUD bug in at least 50% of the games I've played today.

I was playing my commando just now and one of our heavies alpha striked me in the back, causing me to get the "critical damage" alert because he couldn't tell if I was on his team or not due to the bugs.

Yep... Still getting the various bugs with the map in the HUD. Pretty much the same bugs we've had for months now.

It's not simply a graphical issue either, since the bugs usually mirror themselves in the larger view of the map if you choose to bring it up.

Issues that occur fairly regularly ( much more commonly since around 3 weeks ago):
Map does not rotate with you, and suggests that your torso is always pointed due north. This is coupled with the compass ribbon not turning either.

Map texture is replaced with a weird rainbow "texture not found" type thing.

Map appears to be super zoomed out, with all contacts and cap points on the exact center of the map (making it useless).

I've been getting (in addition to the kaleidoscope of doom;
The minimap staying fixed while my mech icon rotates, which is confusing to say the least
The Bars for the objectives in conquest all filled with red earlier despite my team holding at least 3 of the points
A significant FPS drop (From 40ish to <17)

All on a fully updated GeForce 635M

I RARELY reply to forum posts or make complaints like this, but you can add my two cents to this particular thread.

A broken (completely missing) HUD makes the game completely unplayable, I get that this is a beta, so I will confine my feedback to what I consider constructive. It is a matter of fact that, at least until 3rd person view is implemented, the HUD is ESSENTIAL to gameplay.

To the point: This issue could use some priority, in my opinion.

I sincerely hope you don't go down the road of so many popular games / developers, such as CCP/EvE Online, Mojang/Minecraft where they SEEM to have the philosophy of: "I'd rather make new content cause it's fun, than fix existing content because of the difficulty involved."

As far as I know, these bugs affect almost everyone I have played with or spoken to about playing mechwarrior. I'm not saying the devs have a special debug tools to get around this, I'm just saying the players don't, and nothing kills my desire to play more than my inability to do so.

What bugs (pun intended) me most about this is that it wasn't the dedicated server hotfix which broke this, but the weekend promo, applied via a 700kb patch yesterday.

I do hope that PGI is as mad about this as we are. It really ruins this weekend promo, especially since I will definitely play because I like to grind some money for later. And I bet many players will do the same. So instead of less people experiencing the bugs because they leave until its fixed (which would be natural behavior), more people will probably play, which will result in more negative feedback.

And that's the one thing the game does not need at the moment.

I was getting the same issues after the server hotfix to fix the blackscreen upon map load etc.

I changed my graphic settings in the menu. (turned all of them to medium bar Shading which is on High and Post process which is on Low) and I now have gone at least 10 matches with no major HUD bugs or frame drops etc.

Not sure if it will help the OP or anyone else, infact im not really sure why it would effect the HUD bugs at all but it seemed to, so give it a try. :)

I'm going to move each setting up 1 level one by one and test for 10+ matches every time to see if I find a point where it starts happening again.

I am experiencing the same bugs, plus: in Conquest, the capping point bar is missing.

All these HUD bugs are really annoying - my chapter playied BF3 last night, bc we were so pissed :)

I have to post something weird that I noticed about this bug. I used to get it all the time, before and after the latest patch. Then I, on a whim, started running the game in fullscreen. I didn't get a single hud bug.

I thought that was weird, so I switched it back to windowed.

three matches in a row with hud bug.

This makes a sort of sense if the hud bug has to do with corrupted memory, especially if you are running dual monitors (I am)

I would suggest that you all try this. It may not fix it, but who knows.

I just got the entire-HUD-missing bug. Atlas K on frozen city assault. I haven't had no-minimap since the last hotfix and this is the first time I've lost the entire HUD.

EDIT: I spoke too soon, Just played the Atlas K again on Tourmaline assault and lost my maps and the arm reticle wasn't working.

I have encountered a few new ones not seen before this patch as well...

- Damage indicator in my mech doesn't work at all.
- Damage indicator in a spectated mech is showing invalid damage (e.g. mech is destroyed). Might have been showing my damage.
- Mech name under the damage indicator in a spectated mech was just showing a number, which kept changing. Something around 60000...
