Cant get the text to display in the box on the left hand side of the screen.
The text that says something like "grid will split if removed" or all that other data.

The box appears, but theres no text inside.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mod, reinstalling text hud from the workshop, tried uninstalling the game, tried uninstalling steam, havent had any luck.

Strange, I tried a few things and can't get it, can you share a screenshot of it?

I assume a grinder is equipped while aiming at a grid in such a way to print that "grid will split" message, but past that I dunno...

Maybe a mod setting combination is acting up, can you send your buildinfo config? it's in: %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Storage\514062285.sbm_BuildInfo\config.ini

You can also rename the config if you wanna test with defaults to see if the config is the source of it.

renaming the config file did not work. also for reference the box (at least I think thats the buildinfo box) is on the right hand side of the screen on the screenshot

Well it's possible there's a mod conflict issue, can you copy your world (save-as in the menu) and remove all other mods except this to see if you get the same issue.

I suspect the compass mod has something to do with it, draygo (textAPI's author) was debugging something and found an issue regarding that, you can also try removing that mod alone to see.

If it works fine without other mods but it's not the compass one, can you send the original world's sandbox_config.sbc, it has a list of mods and settings, so I can use the same mods as you to try and see what's going on.

I tried it with a new world and only the buildinfo mod on. Still the same issue

Hmm, what about other textAPI stuff, does the chat+F2 menu work for example? (a button top-left side, not the big window spawned by richHUD on F2 alone)

Or other textAPI in this mod, like the toolbar info in cockpits, or the block info when holding a block as opposed to aiming at one... or the turret ammo info when controlling a gun-turret?

chat + f2 does not work. Just like with the picture I sent before, I can see the grey outline of where its SUPPOSED to say Mod Settings, but nothing is there.

Its doesnt seem to be the world or the mod because I had a friend load into my world and the mod worked perfectly for him.

Could it be some display driver or something on my end?

Ah then this is entirely a textAPI issue, that menu is controlled by it alone.

You should post in that mod's discussions or in his discord ( https://discord.com/invite/mhuhWzc ), and link to this thread for context/info/logs that you've already provided.

But now that it's narrowed down, you could do one last re-download of textAPI using these steps: https://gist.github.com/THDigi/6314052c53c7bb411eea24ab59522098

Also if you wanna see if the same draw technique that text API is using works in other mods (triangle billboard), you can equip wind turbine and see its overlay (ctrl +), it should look like this:

If either the inner red circle or the outer red-to-green circle is missing then there's probably something wrong with drawing those in general, might be driver xD

Just for future ref:
This is caused by changing desktop resolutions (swapping monitors or etc) between restarts.
Causing textAPI to think it's a different resolution because MyAPIGateway.Session.Config reports the old resolution not the current one.
