1.21 BUG Target marker gone in one ship - workaround

[taronas]

That box in the center of the screen, it's not showing anymore in one of my ships. So I miss out on essential information like distance and speed of the targeted object. The weapon markers still seem to follow the object, though.

Is this something on the ship that I accidentally triggered? Or a bug

I got the exact same bug in my Eclipse Vanguard.
No target square, impossible to interact with the target nor autopilot to it.
I tried everything : display/remove UI, switching radar mode, loading the save, restarting the game.
Some ships are broken it seems.
You want to have fun with 4 weapons, high hull and descent speed ? NOPE
Game version is 1.21.

Ok I managed to understand what causes the bug !!! (So I prefer not editing but replying.)
I use only the same type of guns. Removing the secondary weapons (uncheck) from the group weapons fixed the UI.
I had everything checked. As I don't use any secondary weapon this broke the UI.
To reproduce the bug, you can buy an argon heavy fighter (I don't know about the other types but I tested on these 2), buy 4x pulsar lasers, undock, check everything for the secondary group of weapons in the fast action menu (Enter), open the map, close the map : Target UI is broken.
Uncheck everything in the secondary group of weapons, open the map, targe UI is fixed.

You can have fun again
