HUD occasionally locks up

[kekkev]

I've been running into a problem with my HUD, where red dots on my compass freeze, and no matter where I turn they stay in the same position regardless of whether or not there are actually enemies around. This sometimes happens with the little triangles or the quest marker too. Sometimes I even see the little XP bar that pops up when you gain XP, halfway there from the last XP I earned. Its like it started to fade away but not fully. Quitting and restarting the application seems to be a quick fix for now, but it's really obnoxious because it happens every few minutes. I'm betting that it's something to do with my user interface mods, despite using mods that are all supported by the UIO mod. It happens pretty randomly and I can't seem to figure out when it happens the most. I have the blue colored HUD so I notice the red dots the most, when in combat or sneaking. Sometimes I even see the outline of an injury frozen on my HUD like a crippled limb.

 

Sometimes it seems like when this happens NPC's have really bouncy pathing, or they just kinda blink around from place to place. Nothing crazy mind you, but different enough that you notice. This might be unrelated as it happens very rarely.

// a few notes

 

I should mention that I have several esp's disabled, because they are texture mods. They load whether or not they are enabled (I think) so I just leave them alone. The MMM project beauty esp I did edit in Wrye Flash, because it wanted to load project beauty after MMM, but the blackened FWE MMM EVE PB wants Project Beauty to load BEFORE MMM. It is flagged with purple letters which according to their readme indicates the esp should not be activated. Even though I wasn't going to activate it I didn't want it to think it needs to load masters out of order so I edited it. Again, pretty sure it's just face textures so it shouldn't be a big deal. (I think)

 

I also have played with and without the MMM tougher traders, natural selection, and zones respawn esp's while active, disabled, and even removed from the data folder. I noticed no difference, and because they are not listed as files to remove as part of the paradox ignition MMM installation, I left them as they are.

 

Other than this I think the game is pretty stable and I have been happy with it so far. But I've reached the point where I am quitting and re loading 1-3 times per half hour just to refresh my HUD. Really makes it hard to stay immersed in my character, so I try to just play without the HUD sometimes. Then I realized that makes it hard to get anywhere that I am trying to go.

 

I have referenced the FWE page's suggested load order several times, and I think everything is where it should be, but fresh eyes are always appreciated. Maybe this has nothing to do with my load order, I really don't know. Thanks in advance guys (and gals) :smile:

 

 

 

EDIT

Everyone is playing Fallout 4... aren't they? xD
