Missing Marine player UI

Post by ZDashe » 02 Dec 2015, 23:53

Bug Description: The player UI disappears, after getting interrupted during M42C sniper scoped view.

Result: Ended up getting captured by Xenos with no way to fight back
http://screenshot.net/54wp0f1 (note the missing UI below)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter sniper view (Use Scope)
2. Drop sniper rifle
3. View snaps back to normal but with missing UI

Workaround:
Pick up sniper and use it's scope again to enter and leave extended view.

However, it will still be a persisting problem if you happen to lose your sniper rifle, such as getting pounced on and having it dragged away or melted. Then you will forever remain UI-less for the rest of the round.


POSSIBLE steps to reproduce:
1. Enter sniper view
2. Get pounced on by alien/facehugged (this was POSSIBLY what happened to me)
3. View snaps back to normal but UI disappears

Was captured in a hurry, so didn't quite understood the chain of events that led to this. Could have been me trying to swap weapons while viewing through scope.

Will post another definite way to reproduce in another round.

You -could- try relogging, that may reset it. Or changing your UI under preferences. There's a verb somewhere to adjust the UI in game, that might reset it to base. Testing is necessary.

Tried the UI verb preferences, but it doesn't work. Not sure about re-logging. Regardless, if your UI is screwed right in the middle of the fight, you can only run and pray not to get caught as a defenseless Xeno host..

F12 is the Ui toggle verb, if that doesn't work try re-logging to fix it.

F12 is confirmed to help. Now this is just a minor inconvenience. Thanks!
