My HUD disappears when I look at blocks

[Numbldawg]

Hi

After downloading the 1.20.9 update for my server when I log on I can no longer see my HUD when I am targeting a block of any kind, I don't know what the solution is for this. Anyone have ideas?

Thanks,

There is a Discord post about how to fix this, though it involves turning off the wireframe for targeted blocks.
 

Edit the file clientsettings.json, and change "selectedBlockOutline" from "true" to "false". 

I tried this and it worked.

I'm also on a Mac, and you can do this with TextEdit.

First you need to find the file clientsettings.json. It'll be in the fold Users, then under your user folder, and then in an invisible folder called ".config". It's invisible because generally speaking, non-technically savvy users like you and I have no need to see them and usually shouldn't be tinkering with that stuff.

But to reveal that hidden folder, while in the Finder press "CMD-SHIFT-."  That's the period key along with the twirly propellor key and the shift key.

Then go into the .config folder, find the "VintagestoryData" folder, and in there is clientsetting.json. Open that with a plain text editor, use the search command to find "selectedBlockOutline" and change the word after that from "true" to "false". Leave everything else, including punctuation and such, unchanged. Hit save, then go restart Vintage Story.
