How to enable target indicators?

Post by SirDeity12 »

I must have hit a button by mistake, because when I select an item, regardless of what the item is, it doesn't show up as selected on my screen. Does anyone know how to re-activate it? I can't play like this....

I can't even select a station because I can't tell if it's been selected! If I select an asteroid, I can't see where it's located in front of me! Before It would show up as a white/blue box around the item selected so I could easily navigate to or interact with it. Now there's no indications at all when I select something...

I flew back to a station and verified I have tragetting software mk 1 installed (the only version available). I've never had this problem before. Please help!

I've tried closind and restarting the game. Still no luck.... I can't even fight with the game like this!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't see any targets on my screen. If I select a ship, I know it's selected because the box is on the little radar thing on the bottom center, but I can't figure out which ship in front of me is the one I have selected because the red box doesn't show up through my cockpit window.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I can't play until this is fixed....

I don't know how to fix this specific issue. But generally one of the first things I try is to verify integrity of game files through Steam.

Right click on X4 in library -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify integrity of game files

It stopped working in the middle of playing my game. If it were a corrupted game files I'd expect it to be a problem upon launching the game. I'll try it though because I'm desperate...

I found the solution to the BUG on the Steam forums. So everyone knows, if you have your weapon configurations assigned as both primary and secondary, there's a change this bug will occur, which as I've noted above, removes any indications of target locations from your primary HUD (out your cockpit windows). This is a game-breaker for anyone that doesn't know how to fix it. Egosoft, please add to your list of priority bugs to fix!

The moment I unchecked all of the secondary boxes (and only left all of the primary boxes checked) for my guns, the bug went away and I can now view my targets again normally.
