[3.30] Hud disappeared - Nvidia claim fixed in driver 461.33 Jan 2021.

Yes, we contacted Nvidia as soon as we had confirmation that it was a driver issue.

Good to here nvidia was contacted. I can also confirm when i upgraded my drivers i had hud issues, and fix it with downgrading

Very comforting to know that you in the first place took this action....Thanks to all....

I'll wait for update on driver, I was unable to rollback and have to live with this for the period it takes.... No worry....

I have not rolled back drivers either. My HUD disappears at times but I can live with it until a new driver is released. Most of the time I still have a pip for aiming, the hull and shield strength bars come and go. It's manageable.

I have solved the problem with installing Studio Driver 456.38.

I tested version 457.09 (October 29) - it seems not to be fixed yet.

Keep your current versions.

Thanks, that was the info I wanted. My HUD occasionally disappearing isn't a game breaking issue, as I'm doing more building than fighting ATM. Maybe in the next released version.

Hi everyone,

I had twice an update pushed to my Nvidia card, and the problem is not solved yet.... Is anyone able to get more or better results regarding this problem and did not roll back?????

[maverikstation]

Hello everyone,

I had too this bug with my Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060. My drivers are up to date on 457.09 version.
For me, it's appear when I'm using the map and when I'm going back to the desktop => so when the cockpit is refreshing.
I can't think about downgrading my driver as if they are update it's for fix bugs.
It's not a bug that does'nt stop me to play X4 so ... I just hope you will fix it one day ^^

good luck

Following timon37's instructions, and I can still reproduce this issue.

1. update driver (I guess to current newest version)
2. check if this issue is happening
3. if yes, then go to Documents\Egosoft\X4\<userid>\ and delete the file pipelinecache.bin
4. check if the issue is still happening or not (please try at least for 5min preferably just play the game as normal and see if you get it)
5. report outcome here

• Running Nvidia 457.09 drivers (clean installation)
• Deleted pipelinecache.bin and restarted X4
• Shield/Hull UI shows the blue "background" bar, but no actual health meters. This is immediate upon loading a save.

Happy to gather further logs/screenshots and post.

No need. As we explained earlier in the thread, the problem has been narrowed down to incorrect driver behaviour in the more recent driver versions, and the matter is now with NVidia.

Driver 457.30 seems to have resolved the issue. I have switched to several ships/sectors and have seen no loss of the HUD.

[EDIT] Nevermind, the HUD did eventually disappear, then re-appeared.

[Jel]

Yep, same here. I rolled back and forth with the drivers, latest one installed 457.30 also does not fix anything.
This rather IS a gamekiller for me, i can´t start any combat as long as the indicators disappear - how do i monitor shields, weapon heat, hull ? I hope this gets worked on fast...

Did you also deleted the pipelinecache.bin after the rollback as Timon described it? (along with his other suggestions like - waiting for some ingame minutes)

I just mention it as I'm playing with very outdated drivers, a nvidia card & no issues in that matter.

[Jel]

Yes i deleted the file. And nope, also after some ingame minutes (hours even), nothing changed.
Good to hear that i works for you.

[Alan Phipps]

The devs have a very good idea about what is causing the problem and it appears to be a driver issue and so beyond solving by Egosoft. They have put a case with supporting information to Nvidia requesting them to resolve the issue in their future driver updates. That approach *should* fix it for all, whether specific driver roll-backs currently work for them (the majority) or not. The matter is in the hands of Nvidia now.

[Mr.Killer]

so sad to see that there is just one solution..... Turn off your computer and go wrap yourself in a detox/addictive position, curled up quietly in some dark corner of your house, rocking yourself slightly forwards and backwards clamping your arms around your legs retracted against your chest and make muttering repeating sounds like " ... I miss my computer!" and "... I want to play games!" and so on.....

The only medication for this problem is a potent salvation and it is called... [AHUM] .... NVIDIA - A -a - a - a ..... (Like an echo that fades away)

[Artean]

Nvidia just released a new driver, anyone tried it out yet to see if the disappearing hud is fixed?

[Dj_FRedy]

More than 3 h. playing and the indicators don't fade with the new Nvidia driver (457.51), for me, it seems that the problem has been solved on my GPU 1060.

Ah, that's great to hear!
