Hud Disappears

djcinder

<div class="IPBDescription">Comm functions, Motion Tracking, gone.</div> When i first join a game, my HUD is available. At times, it will 'disappear'.. When this happens, the comm functions, from the map to the build menu are gone. Motion Tracking, jetpack fuel, and the blue outline around the resource count and the commander are gone. Can anybody tell me WHY this is happening, and a solution would be greatly appreciated.

I am running
P4 2.4GHz
512MB DDR
Geforce2 MX (I get 99fps easily) Newest Detonator Drivers (Dec 2002)
Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 1
Counter-Strike Retail (I also have HL Retail, and game does same thing with HL Retail)

- DEViANCE.

-- Edit: --
I'm running this game in OpenGL (Default) Mode, 800x600, 32bpp

post your config.cfg and autoexec.cfg (if you have one) files.

They're the default.. I never changed any options.. only commands I use other than the default are net_graph 3, rate 9999, fps_max 80, and cl_showfps 1. It's on my friend's computer, and I'm at my house.

-- Edit --
my (and his) internet connection is 10mbit down, 2mbit up, so i see no problem with the rate (and cl_rate) command(s).

[WHO]Them

I'd attribute this kind of behavior to having a certain setting in the detonator control panel set to "fastest" instead of mixed or best. Primarily something to do with z-buffering, so mebbe u got something small like a 16 bit (or even an 8 bit if that's even possible) z-buffer and due to a rounding error that wasn't in your favor the stuff gets clipped for being "too close" to the screen.

The only reason I think this is because I've been able to get half of the jetpack fuel hud item to partially disappear by looking too far down while jetpacking which leads me to believe that it is in fact a 3d object and has a z attribute. if this is true of the jetpack fuel indicator I don't see any reason why the same logic wouldn't apply to most of the rest of the hud.
