User Interface Has Disappeared

[blechinger]

Hey there folks, thanks for stopping by. I've got all the mods I want working nicely with one another, a beautiful frame-rate, awesome retextures and no CTDs! But now I am plagued by a large hurdle... When started up the game, my UI is completely gone. No cursor, no main menu, no DarNUI button on the bottom left. I've looked all over the place for assistance and couldn't find any so I'm starting a new topic and asking for help. ANY information, suggestions, troubleshooting, etc, would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

If you need any information about my system, mods, load order... Anything... Just say so. I figured waiting to be asked and then posting it would be better than flooding my first post with eighteen tons of 411,

What did you do between having a HUD and losing it? You've tried reinstalling DarnUI?

Posting your mod list might help, but i've had the same symptoms when I had FOIPs that were incompatible with the mods (FWE, EVE) and the merged patch that resulted had <unresolved> errors.

Thanks for the replies!

 

wetblanket: I believe I installed the DarnUI Support for FWE. Before that it was working fine. I've tried reactivating everything in proper order, but to no avail. Is that not the same as uninstalling and reinstalling it? If not, what would you suggest I un/reinstall?

 

richerhk: Mod list below. Yes, I've had that problem as well. I installed a few things that were incompatible simply because FOIP's patches had the extra content that I was attempting to add through the original mod's packages. I deactivated the additional packages and am currently only using FOIP's patches. Before that point I was CTDing before reaching the menu. Afterward it worked beautifully. Then, as mentioned above, I added a few more things, including DarnUI Support for FWE. Now I don't CTD but have no UI.

I understand that the FWE and Ironsights mods are not "compatible" but I tested them thoroughly on my rig before encountering the no UI problem and it worked wonderfully after I ironed out some kinks. I'm not saying it couldn't be the problem, but I doubt it is due to the aforementioned and because I wouldn't imagine those mods would conflict in such a way as to cause my issue anyway.

 

Thanks again for the assistance! I'll check back in again tomorrow to see if you've got any other suggestions.

[wetblanket]

I don't use FWE but in looking around it would seem that, in regards to DarnUI, it's important to use FOMM for installation of DarnUI and the FWE DarnUI patch. Also, supposedly a fresh fallout.ini is needed too (ie. backup then delete your current fallout.ini then start the game to generate a new one).

 

That's all I can say other than good luck!

The version of EVE that you have

EVE.esm

EvE.esp

EVE Operation Anchorage.esp

 

Is not compatible with the FOIP's for FWE

EVE - FWE Master Release.esp

EVE - FWE Master Release (Follower Enhanced).esp

EVE Anchorage - FWE DLC Anchorage.esp

 

You need the EVE 096 Beta Main

and the EVE 096 Important Update

Thank you all once again for the replies.

 

wetblanket: I use FOMM for everything! I wouldn't dare to install mods without it. :D I haven't attempted your .ini suggestion. If all else fails I'll give that a go.

And thanks for the well-wishes.

 

richerhk: OOOOH **** that might be it! I'm going to uninstall 097 asap and load up 096 to see if that makes a difference. I'll edit this post with the results. Thank you! Your acuity and adequacy of explanation is greatly appreciated.

 

Edit:

 

richerhk: Hot damn, that did it. I uninstalled, deleted, dl'd the proper packages, installed, reactivated some things just to be sure, master restored, created a new merged patch, master updated and TADA! She's working beautifully. I've got the UI back, can load saved games, run around, shoot things, explore... It's a wonderful thing.

 

Thanks to EVERYONE that posted for their assistance and thanks especially to richerhk for figuring out what was wrong. How did you know, by the by, richerhk? Was it that I had additional packages installed for EVE that had not yet been released under 096? You don't have to answer... I'm just curious.

School of hard knocks - had a similar issue myself. And i've seen other posts regarding FWE and The newest version of EVE.
