HUD disappearing when not aiming a gun?

[EpsteinDidntKillHimself]

I've tried damn near everything I've found on the web trying to fix this. I'm playing a melee build so this is very frustrating. Reloading an old file 4 hours ago seems to get rid of it, but anyone know how to possibly fix this?

Anyone?

Are you talking about when the huds fade away when you don't need them?

[EpsteinDidntKillHimself]

When I'm just standing there with my fist weapon out my hp/sneak/map on the bottom all just disappear. It's like its stuck in third person view cause it has that small dot in the middle of the screen. If I go up and interact with items it shows back up, but as soon as I turn away it disappears again.

Even in combat with melee weapons it doesnt show up.. only if I aim a gun.

Seriously, nice name.

But that's a feature. You're boned.

[Interface]
. . .
uAmmoCounterFadeTimeMS=10000

Add the above line to the [Interface] section of fallout.ini - if [Interface] doesn't exist, write it in.

Change 10000 to whatever you want. Its in miliseconds to 10000 = 10 seconds.

I don't know about the rest as my compass and HP meter never fade out, but this will make the ammo counter stay longer.

Thanks for the comments. Bouncer was one of my favorite ps2 games!

Yeah, this is not a feature, it is a bug... I get it too, and I would also like to know how to fix it. I've seen a few other people who have run into it on the web, but no solutions (are you kidding me with mistaking this for having the opacity turned all the way down?!).

So, to elaborate on what I am experiencing. The HUD (not the crosshair, just the compass/ammo/health) is NOT THERE unless you are a) aiming down the sights with a weapon, b) looking at an interactable object/character or c) you are in power armor.

The super weird thing is that it's obviously a corruption within my save game, as starting a new game fixes it. I have tried deleting all of my setting files, too, which hasn't helped.

I going to try messing with some custom HUD mods and see if that helps at all, although I have my doubts. I downloaded the beta patch, too, to no avail. It's really damned annoying!

It’s crazy how despite this comment not solving anything, is still by far the most useful one in this thread. Thanks for confirming my issue. ✌️😁
