So I think I've broken the game a little. The entire HUD seems to have vanished, and there's no option setting, or button combination to get it back.
When changing zones, a little of the HUD comes back, but is in the completely wrong position:

So my questions are:

  • What causes this?
  • How can I fix it?

Have you tried changing the resolution in game, and changing it back? – Bora Sep 9 '11 at 12:00
@Bora Yes, and it doesn't change a thing :( – mordi2k Sep 9 '11 at 12:03

@Bora That's only the hotbar, not the entire HUD. – mordi2k Sep 9 '11 at 12:05
I know, it's only a reference. I am not saying this question is redundant. edited my comment accordingly.. – Bora Sep 9 '11 at 12:06

As of latest patch, this should now be fixed:

Fixed an issue where the HUD would get permanently disabled for some players.

wow that sucks! – spartacus Sep 10 '11 at 13:56
....or wait for them to fix the bug, which may well correct the problem for existing savegames? – jprete Sep 12 '11 at 13:30
@jprete It's not really a solution, as we don't know when they are going to release a fix, and if it will even correct the problem for existing save games. – mordi2k Sep 12 '11 at 13:32

I've had this issue before, it looks like my HUD was placed as if my screen was using a lower resolution. Quicksaving and reloading did the trick for me. As for what caused it, I'm not sure but it may have to do with me alt-tabbing quite a bit (I have a dual screen monitor and I hate not being able to play this game in windowed mode so I can use my 2nd screen).

I had similar issues once or twice and am also a prolific Alt-Tabber (but single screen) so that may well be the cause. Save/Load or Save/Quit Game/Load always worked for me. – DMA57361 Sep 9 '11 at 12:46
Neither restarting, load, save/load helped. I'll dig a bit further in to the problem. – mordi2k Sep 9 '11 at 13:42
