Can't Rearrange HUD Any More?

flayedawg · February 2014

My cursor is locked, & nothing I do seems to unlock it. Someone else in zone chat reported the same issue, though I can't tell if how much more widespread it is ... I thought it was only me, until that other person said something.

Anyone else having this issue, or am I dreaming or otherwise missing something???

melodywhr · February 2014

thanks for the report. i've forwarded this to our CMs.

Yes, I am having this problem too as of Thursday, 2/6/14. Not only can I not rearrange the HUD, it will not reset either. And I use the rearrage feature often (mainly because if I don't move my skill bar over, I cannot swap out any Daily skills.) So as of right now, I'm stuck with the Daily skills that I had slotted before the 2/6 update

IMO, this needs fixed ASAP. Thank you.

. . . I found a work-around by accident. When this happens, exit Rearrange mode and then press Enter to activate chat. Then press Escape or Alt to cancel chat and then go into Rearrange mode again.

justwhimsy · February 2014

still the same this doesn't work any other workarounds?

Does not work. When I'm in arrange mode, I hit esc to exit. Then enter. Then esc to exit (alt doesn't cancel chat) Then, either click the gear on the top right, or hit esc again to get to the options->rearrange, and neither works.

You can right click on your skills in the powers menu to slot them in either daily slot.

I am having the same issue. 10/02/2014 Please fix it or tell me a work out.

Finally decided to shift the loot roll results to the side of my screen, but alas, i got hit my this bug too. Seems like this is going to take a while to fix.

Just wanted to add my own experience with this. After the last patch I could not Re-arrange my HUD. I am going on vacation so I installed the game on my laptop so I could log in to invoke and do a couple dailies when the time was available and I was able to re-arrange the HUD just once. After that the same issue occurred and I was again no longer able to interact with any of the HUD frames.

I was doing dungeon when I found this crazy way of rearranging hud. I died at combat, while dead I decided to check on rearrange hud to see if I can arrange them. I was surprised to see that I could now move those cells I wanted to move. I tried this outside the dungeon and it still works. Basically, you have to die for you to arrange the hud.

This works for me, thanks! I did /killme in Protectors Enclave and you don't even have to use an injury kit.

ilmenira · February 2014

yes, i have the same problem... somehow while trying hud even reset to original layout by itself, but i cannot move or change any cells... will try the /killme method now...

Same here, decided to finally move this loot-rolls spam to a side of my screen and have been suffering for several days now... Will try /killme now lol

ilmenira · February 2014

/killme doesnt seem to work for me... i'll keep trying this and that

twisted1960 · February 2014

how did you do that?

itsatacoshop247 · February 2014

Not fixed after todays patch.

adambomb76 · February 2014

I'm encountering the same problem - cursor is locked when I enter rearrange HUD mode.

-CONFIRMED - workaround posted by mod does not work
-(EDIT) CONFIRMED - /killme command did not solve the issue. tried from Dread Ring and from PE

Can't help but wonder if finally changing the color temperature of the Duergar's skin happened to break this? I know a lot of people were up in arms clamouring for that important fix but please don't forget the poor sods that just wanna move their HUD around.

mantater · February 2014

Just tried this twice about an hour or so ago, use /killme and while the 'release' window is still up hit alt, and click the options button, then rearrange hud and it gave me a cursor. Used in PE not sure if it matters.

I encountered this bug yesterday, what I did to get around it was to open another window just as I am clicking "Rearrange Hud"
It is a bit of a PITA but it worked for me.

Just as you are clicking on "Rearrange Hud", tap "J" on your keyboard to bring up the journal, the journal will appear in the center, but the HUD also goes into "rearrange mode". The mouse was available to move cells the of the HUD and I could even tab around between them.

Worked for me at least, ymmv

beckylunatic · February 2014

So you basically need to do something-anything that forces the game into mouselook mode.

CONFIRMED: This is the only thing that was able to work for me consistently.

I can no longer modify the arrangement of my HUD.

I used to:

press ESC
click "Rearrange HUD"

and then I could move or re-size the green boxes for the on-screen elements etc.

But now, all I can do is look around the game world through the Rearrange HUD screen - the mouse cursor will not work and I cannot move anything.

What's up with that?

Have you ever played Star Trek Online? If so then you may be confusing that with this. I have been played since alpha and closed beta and I don;t recall ever seeing the "rearrange HUD" option in Neverwinter. It has always been available in STO though.

dardove · February 2014

Angrysprite, rearrange HUD option does exist in NW. It is also currently broken.

I'm having the same problem. Contacted Support and was told it's a bug and they're working on it

gornonthecob · February 2014

The Rearrange HUD option is currently bugged HOWEVER, you can still rearrange your HUD by typing /killme. When the (Call for Help) / (Release) box pops up, press ESC, and then REARRANGE HUD. For some reason this unlocks your cursor and you're able to move boxes around like normal.

No, I'm not trolling you. /killme does work.

angrysprite · February 2014

@Dardove:

"Angrysprite, rearrange HUD option does exist in NW. It is also currently broken."

Okay, I guess I've not paid much attention as (for me) there was no need. STO on the other hand can be a HUF-Default mess. :-)

reiwulf · February 2014

Thanks for the /killme trick. I'll try that.

stah01 · February 2014

Can also spam the J key as you press Rearrange Hud. Brings up the quest window and you can move the windows around. Better than /killme =P
