#1: Minimap zooms in a lot, randomly, and is made useless

#2: Minimap is blanked out/black, and everything is stacked on one spot.

#3: Rainbow minimap

#4: Main map goes black, overall map becomes a rainbow

#5: In some matches, the screen will randomly flash orange (like your mech is just restarting after having overheated), and your health indicator in the lower left will glitch out and turn back on. This was happening to me every ten seconds or so.

#6: I think this is a leftover from previous patches but I only started encountering it today. Minimap and compass break. Heading/cone of vision do not correspond with your actual heading/field of vision, and the compass is locked on "north."

#7: I think this is leftover from above as well, but I also encountered it for the first time several times today: allies/enemies do not have red/blue targeting indicators above them, and cannot be targeted


Pretty flipping frustrating to encounter each of these at least two times in the last couple hours.

#8: No ANYTHING. No HUD, no chat, no score, no targeting reticle, no minimap, nothing.

It happens to me more often with the new patch.

I have had that one. It looks like this when you look at the battlemap: http://cloud-2.steam...D10CA07B92F160/

And when you are looking at the map and zoom in all the way: http://cloud-2.steam...9BDC73BA9C85A8/

This one seems to occur when the map image fails to load properly. I have had it as well: http://cloud-2.steam...BE57F6B941B5CF/

I too have experienced the completely missing HUD in your screenshot. Today I also experienced the blank scoreboard with -1 people on my team when you tab bug.

[Captain Teft]

This one isn't new, but I just grabbed a screenshot of #6. While we're at, it let's just consolidate all the HUD bugs into one thread.

#6: (Minimap and compass break. Heading/cone of vision do not correspond with your actual heading/field of vision, and the compass is locked on "north.")

I had that exactly today - but slight difference was I had the HUD, chat, reticule, minimap etc right up until I shot my first shot (single gauss), then it all dissapeared.....

The paper dolls of the mechs in this one suggests to me that they have added in extra hit-box areas for the upcoming Mechs that have arms /and/ shoulder mounted weapons. Mad Cat style.

I had 9 or 10 matches last night, and I think in 3 of them my mini-map was black and I couldn't seem to access the large map at all.

While I normally wouldn't think this very noteworthy with everyone posting similar issues, the point that I feel I should make is that prior to the last patch, this almost never happened to me with my setup. Maybe once every 40-50 matches at most, probably not even that often. So despite being a small sample size, I will corroborate that something odd happened in the last patch (or two?). Thanks!

I've had similar ones to that, where I will look a certain direction and bam, there goes the HUD.

Shutting down, then powering back up sometimes brings it back when this happens, however it generally just bugs out and vanishes again.

I've also had it vanish when someone fired a weapon at the ground as we were walking out of spawn. Was an LBX I think, tho I really think any weapon fired right then would have caused it.

Might as well add these to the list.

I've experianced all of those HUD bugs since patch, but less frequently than the patch just before.

Extra weapons / equipment


Glitched out screen / black screen

[TekGnosis]

Not that posting in this specific thread will necessarily result in more likely fixing...

I have experienced all of the above bugs about 1/6 matches randomly. And some other ones that haven't repeated.
It really looks like whatever module gets kicked off at match start to load HUD assets fails in some subtle way while loading assets and simply never tries again and/or has no internal success traps. A hotkey to 'restart HUD' that kicks off the same code as we have now would fix this while they rewrite the obviously huge chunk of code that now has some race dependencies or somesuch.

Minimap and big map are really nice to have but not critical depending on your playstyle, but losing FIFO markers is cripping and essentially ruins the match.

#9: A "undefined" target rests permanently in the center of your targeting reticle.
