Hello I have a decent computer to handle this game, The issue at hand is that there is no hud at the start up of the game on occasion. I have seen the similar post that someone else has but mine is different as in I can see clear as day but i dont have a crosshair from the start of the match on. I have tried powering down and powering back up because i know that usually fixes the issue but not for this. Please take a look into this, thanks.

Second game played since this patch, 11-20-2012, Frozen City Map. Team balance looked good, countdown timer was ok. Then no Hud or map available. Chat team or all was not available. Weapons readout failed to show also. Power down failed to work at all.

Piloting an Atlas, I was able to navigate the tunnel to the oppositions base. There I had to await someone to shoot at me so I knew who to shoot at. Point plank really does not need targeting anyway and I was able to get a Kill with 2 head shots at the dragon that was shooting at me. I hit him with Gauss, ER PPC and LL at the same time in the same spot.

Starting with out a hud or any way to communicate to the team is just not going to work well. After trying to power down a few times, I noticed that this feature was also not working.

I was not able to get a screenshot sadly.

I wanted to place this in the new issues section but I do not have permission to start a new thread there.

I do believe that a hot fix needs to be done soon for this issue, otherwise everyone that this happens to will be running around blind like a Berserker. Shooting at everything that moves.

Yes it happened in Frozen city for me as well, I do not think i have seen it on any other map, it is kind of a rare Occurance though.

Just happened again in frozen City. Just not playable that way all you can do is die.

[Amerante]

it just happened to me on caustic valley

[stratagos]

Just launched a game where I had no HUD. Chat did not work - or if it did, people were able to read what I wrote but I couldn't see it - nor did the Tab 'show your team' thing

I was still apparently able to lock streaks, but I got no red or blue triangles, and when I died my lack of HUD followed me to whom I was observing.

Apologies if this is a known issue, it's the first time it has happened to me.

Mech: CPLT-C4. 2 LRM 20s with Artemis, 2 streams, 2 ML .Added Targeting and Sensor modules, but didnt have this issue with Frozen City, the match immediately prior to this. Occurred on Caustic, the 'factory' side.

Try Right Shift + F11.

The turn-off hud switch seems to stick even after a match.

When I dropped, the radar was messed up. It showed everything RIGHT next to each other. The bases were right next each other, like the radar was massively zoomed out. However, I tried zooming in and it didn't help.

Additionally, the base capture bars were missing.

This was in a Cataphract 3D.

Playing on caustic, had the regular cockpit HUD but no HUD indicators for hostiles or friendlies. Q did nothing, and R only gave me the enemy info in the top right corner, but didn't box them. Powering down and back up didn't fix it. Only happened this one match, haven't been able to replicate the issue.

I had what may be the same issue. I had a match earlier in the night running the founder's atlas and dropped in with the no HUD bug, it was my first time seeing that but I have heard of it before.

I dropped with the founder's atlas and had the full HUD, but no targeting of friends and I could not see their targets either. I also could not bring up the map with B. Q did nothing for me as well. I tried powering down and back. After a minute or so I lost control of my mech and had to just watch it start a slow run into the wall. Alt-tab did nothing to return control.

I had a match earlier in the night running the founder's atlas and dropped in with the no HUD bug, it was my first time seeing that bug but I had heard of it before. I had never experienced it before tonight, so they may be related.

Edit: I was on Forest Colony Snow when the HUD displayed but failed to work, and on Caustic when I had the no HUD bug.

same issue: no friend/foe indicators, no targets on radar. caustic valley, catphrakt. powerdown doesn't solve.

[Waverider]

Same problem, not so often. RShift+F11 does not work. Log off or start the client again "solved" the problem. I was not able to reproduce.

On Ocassion my Map and Mini map do not exist. Also had one glitch where the mini map kept opening the Map on it's own even while waiting on Match to start. Mini Map moved to center screen over target reticle in one match.

Radeon 7950's Crossfire enabled.

I had this issue in one game last night.. From the start of the match my mech's HUD would occasionally appear to shut down, giving an overheat warning, but the mech itself was fine. Sometimes it would come right back, sometimes it would disappear for minutes. This persisted after I died, teammate's HUD appeared to do the same thing when spectating, but the teammate did not have the issue on his screen.

I tried powering down and back up (seen in video), but it did not change anything.

Lesson learned: its hard to hit things without a reticle.

[Mad Elf]

Actually, make that three.


I can't seem to search on a subsection of the forum any more, so I don't know if these are already reported.


Bug 1: no HUD at all, right from the very start of the game. Shutting the mech down and restarting it didn't help. Couldn't bring the big map up at all.

Bug 2: all HUD components present, but the mini-map and the direction indicators were broken (again right from the start of the game):

• Mini-map didn't turn with my mech, instead the arrow representing the mech turned to face properly. However, the arc-of-sight triangle remained firmly fixed on due north.
  
• Compass heading (at the top) remained firmly fixed on due north. Indicators for friendly and enemy mechs appeared in the correct places, but triangle indicators for my heading / torso direction didn't move.

Bug 3: again, from the start of the game, orange bars across the majority of the screen (clear top and bottom), and no HUD; couldn't bring the big map up; shutting down didn't help. But, when I pressed Tab to get up the current scores, the screen cleared and the top part of the HUD (kills and capture positions) appeared, although the rest was still gone.

Just had a match where some features were missing, like being unable to chat, not seeing overheat or out of bounds warning. Previous match I played seemed ok.

[Redbull102]

Had the BUG 3 just a few mins ago.

Was Crater Map, game started and my view got bright yellow, with 2 or 3 big yellow stripes and a white/bright yellow sky.

As long as I hold TAB view was normal, releasing tab = bug strikes again

Since I got no HUD I told my team about the bug and quit the game. Had Problems to see things ( trees were yellow, but every other thing was bright yellow )

Best wishes

Just played a game where my IFF HUD markers didn't show up for both the friendly and enemy 'mechs. It was pretty difficult to tell who I was shooting at during a furball, so my apologies to those on my team at the time!

I do have a screenshot, but nowhere to post it.

EDIT: Just played another match and the problem is gone. Is there a button I pressed by mistake?
