How is the "disappearing hud" bug still a thing?!

[iPhail]

Before you guys start trolling, pressing backspace or any other button on my keyboard doesn't bring it back. The whole hud just randomly disappears. I've not been able to narrow it down to any specific cause but myself, a tribe mate of mine and a few other people that I know have this same issue.

It doesn't matter what you do, the only way to get your hud back is to relaunch the game. Just reconnecting to the server doesn't do anything. About 1 in 4 times that this happens, it also causes a hard crash of the game and/or my whole pc.

This bug was around in the days of the beta, I know because I've been playing ARK since then. I just don't get how something that literally breaks the game can still be around. I play exclusively in PvP servers. Having your hud completely disappear in the middle of a raid, cave run or boss run literally kills you.

I seriously don't understand how such a game breaking bug is still around after years of this game being fully released. Please fix it or tell me any workarounds or fixes that I can try. I'm getting absolutely sick of this.

Do you´ve got any mods installed?

It's not game breaking it's just annoying. You can still play the game. Yes it should've been fixed by now etc. Report it to WC, relog, and keep playing.

Never had this happen, sorry you have to experience this.

I never experienced it until recently... same with the SP resources not respawning.

It hasn't been fixed probably because it's one of those intermittent bugs that not everyone experiences and doesn't happen consistently enough for them to figure it out. Especially since it's readily fixable by a relog, that wouldn't put it super high on WC's list of things to hunt down and try to fix.

If only the resource bug was that easy to get around.

When it happens in PvP, mid fight, it's more than just annoying. It can literally get you killed.

never had that myself, so i'm guessing right now.
No player ever went on an extensive hunt to try to reproduce that problem, but without it being reproducible for WC how do you thing they should fix it. By throwing glitter on it?
And if no player made the effort, it can't be that game breaking.
Do you remember the time during Beta as those extensive lags happened, and how the playerbase worked together with WC to figure out how that happened? exactly they could fix it, after they knew what caused it.

Unconcious taming dinos not eating for sometimes hours with food in their inventory and all of the weapons sometimes having to play the reload animation 2-4 times to reload have been in the game for a lot longer.

Wildcard will not fix any bugs, they should but they won't.

Only solution is to learn to live with it, as has been the way in ARK since release.
