Hardpoints problem - no weapons anymore

[Mozrushi]

I've been bounty hunting over the last week. But now I have a weird problem. When I deploy my hardpoints I can no longer see my weapons or the gun sight. I can't fire at anything. The Kill Warrant Scanner isn't shown either.

It first happened when I was camping a Nav Beacon. I was just about to attack another pirate and so I deployed my hardpoints. The weapons weren’t shown any more. I tried pulling the trigger too - and nothing happened. I had only used my hardpoints and weapons a few minutes earlier - but now the weapons weren’t shown and didn’t work anymore.

My weapons had ammo and had the same firegroup as normal. I was of course in Combat mode. My ship and guns were undamaged.

Right panel --->modules section...they may be turned off...

I checked that at the time. Weapons were and still are active. I had just used my weapons a few minutes before they 'disappeared'. My settings were unchanged.

Check on the right panel if you're over 100% energy ussage. You can increase the priority of some modules (like the fuel scoop or the cargo) so they're disabled first when you deploy your weapons.

There is a bug since last patch that makes your energy priorities to get reseted sometimes.

I’m at 94% energy usage with hardpoints deployed. I normally decrease the priority of several modules. I’ve noticed recently that they’ve been resetting as you say. It does not explain my problem though. A deactivated module should still appear on my screen as a deactivated module when I deploy hardpoints. When I deploy hardpoints at the moment I cannot see my weapons at all.

Your weapons groups were probably changed by the last update. The update has changed positions of weapons in the list, so wrong weapons got the group's numbers.

Check the groups and reassign, if needed.

My fire groups were changed by the update. But I fixed them days ago prior to today's problem.


I destroyed a couple of pirate ships with my weapons as usual. I then retracted my hardpoints. A few minutes later I found another pirate ship and flew behind it. I deployed my hardpoints prior to attacking. My weapons and gun sight were not shown on the screen at all. My kill Warrant Scanner wasn’t shown either. They were all working a few minutes earlier.

Maybe you are in scanner mode and not combat.

[Mozrushi]

As I said at the beginning I was in Combat mode. I've tested it several times since in Combat mode. I used to be able to see my weapons, kill warrant scanner and gun sight with hardpoints deployed. Now I can't see any of those.

You didn't accidentally switch to a different weapons group? Try to press the weapons group switch button a few times, to see if your weapons appear.

I found my fire groups had changed. I had to set them back up. Everything is fine now. I first noticed this when I went looking around in outfitting and didn't make any changes and when I exited the, you need to adjust fire groups message came up but I ignored it because I didn't make any changes. Well don't ignore it, they were changed.

I think I must have had a data glitch. I validated the game files on Steam. I then relaunched the game and tested my ship again. Everything worked as normal.
