Shadowrun Hong Kong where is the Decker's HUD?

[eldridgeprime]

So, I am playing all the Shadowrun games through and I have gotten to SR: Hong Kong. I'm using Is0bel and when she hits the Matrix, she has no icons to run programs or ESPs. There is a bar at the bottom of the page showing only they matrix danger warning level.

How do I access Is0bel's functions? I have selected then at the point where she enters the Matrix, so they should be there.

Please help. I can't find advice on this anywhere.

It comes up when it goes turn based. It's not available in the real-time portions.

I thought all matrix actions were turn based. Are you saying that I have to engage with the IC with out being able to do preliminary buffs. That kind of sucks.

In Hong Kong, matrix is “live action”, you are trying to sneak past all of the watcher sentry IC. It goes turn based when you:

-Are spotted by one of the watchers

-Enter a “room”/node with active white or black IC

-Max out the system trace bar at the bottom left, which should spawn a bunch of IC for you to fight

AFAIK you can’t select to go turn based ahead of time like you can in meatspace with the upper right gun icon (this feature lacking in the matrix is a little baffling, but at the same time, the matrix would probably be too easy if you could choose to go turn based at your leisure)

That is an accurate description. No, you don't get to pre-prep for each matrix fight... You're supposed to stealth through them, and actually hack the nodes.

It was one of HK's love or hate changes.
