mrspongeworthy Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) tl;dr - I would like to remove the floating info that hovers over targets in Tactical mode. Most of the time it's just in the way. I can't see what's happening, can't tell where my character is, etc., because there is this information box hovering over everything. Longer version: After being terribly disappointed with DAI, I decided to wait until the game was fully patched, updated, etc. before trying to do one good full play-through. (I was also waiting for TriDef to release a stereoscopic profile, which they did. Let me tell you, even though I like DAI probably 5% as much as DAO, it is a stunningly beautiful world. Rendered stereoscopically it's simply jaw-droppingly gorgeous.) Things are pretty good now. I am using some mods, because I still just can't tolerate a few things, like wearing silly PJs during critical cutscenes in Skyhold that should have emotional impact instead of silliness. All in all, many of my concerns have been addressed and the game is quite a bit more playable than it was originally. (I probably helps that I've finally given up and bought a wireless XBOX One controller since so many games "for PC" are now crippled by console-centric controls). But one thing really bothers me and I'm hoping there is a way to remove it; I would like to remove the floating info that hovers over targets in Tactical mode. Most of the time it's just in the way. I can't see what's happening, can't tell where my character is, etc., because there is this information box hovering over everything. I've looked through the game's settings and tried googling of course. But so far no luck. I also feel it's information I would rather not have. I don't want to know all of an enemy weaknesses and strengths; I would like to have to discover those on my own. Anyone have any idea how I might go about this? Seems like something that should be an easy option, but nope... Or I'm missing it... Thanks. Edited May 13, 2016 by Mr_SpongeWorthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Easy. Simply turn off the Floating Text items under "Options ==> Interface". Like so: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrspongeworthy Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Rats. Doesn't work for me. (That's always been turned off for me, doesn't do any thing to remove the floating info in Tactical mode for me.) Even completely disabling the HUD still gives me that info (always has.)

Thandal Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 What platform/install/patch you running? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrspongeworthy Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Currently on Windows 10 (everything clean installed). Previously was on Win 7. It behaved the same way for me on both systems. I guess I just thought that it was something I would have to find a mod to remove. I have the GOTY edition (because it was cheaper to buy that than to purchase the DLC individually at this point, even though I already had the base game.) It should be fully up-to-date, but I'll run another "check for updates" in the Origin client when I get a chance... Here is a pic with the entire HUD turned off (it's a very threatening Fennec. Fennecs swoop. Swooping is bad.) (Or, at least, you would see a pic if the Nexus forums understood dropbox links, which apparently they don't... I'll try something else... OK, I give up, Nexus apparently doesn't know how to display images shared via. a dropbox url, so here is just a link where you can see it:) Example with HUD completely disabled.

Thandal Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Ok, now I see what you mean... But that "floaty" only pops-up when you hover your mouse directly on the target. Move it a bit away from of the exact center of the target and it disappears again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrspongeworthy Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Ok, now I see what you mean... But that "floaty" only pops-up when you hover your mouse directly on the target. Move it a bit away from of the exact center of the target and it disappears again. Well, rats. That really doesn't work with the controller, at least not well. Honestly it's not information I would ever want to see anyway as it's totally immersion-breaking to me to have that junk up on the screen. I gave up trying to play DAI with a keyboard and mouse, it was just too difficult and frustrating. Did it for a while way back when both CE and DAI Cinematic tools worked and I could override many limitation of the UI, but as far as I can tell neither of those items really works well with the final release of DAI. Thanks for the help though. I appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Wow! Ever since the patch that supports "mouse-look" POV tracking, and my learning to use the "Interact" key instead of trying to click precisely on some tiny hot spot, I've been VERY happy with the kb+m interface. (Not as happy as I was with the original DAO/DA2 interface, you understand. But I recognize this is a completely different game engine.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
