With the release of the new looter-shooter Outriders, some players have come across a couple of problems. Several have already been fixed, including the server issues that forced People Can Fly to temporarily shut down Outriders servers earlier today. There is a weird little bug in-game that remains, however, and that's the missing HUD glitch.

Missing HUD

Several players have reported that their HUD has disappeared from their screen while playing Outriders, and nothing seems to bring it back. The HUD is absolutely necessary to help find objectives, a player's position on the map of Enoch, and see their health bars and cooldowns. However, it can disappear for unknown reasons while players are hunting down enemies and traversing their wild new world.

The Quick Fix

While it is unknown currently what triggers the loss of HUD, there seems to be some connection between playing crossplay with Outriders that are using PCs while the others are using consoles. Thankfully, players can quickly fix this little bug with a few settings changes and restarting the game a couple of times. This fix was discovered by a YouTuber on March 31st. This fix is a little strange and quite an annoyance to fans of the game, but it seems to work well enough until the developers can fix whatever is triggering the HUD's disappearing act. In order to fix it, players will have to complete the following steps:

How to fix the missing HUD in Outriders
  • While in game, open the menu
  • Select the Options menu
  • Select the HUD tab
  • Manually turn off every option in the HUD tab
  • Do not adjust the HUD scale
  • Exit the current game of Outriders
  • Reopen the game
  • Go to Options again, then select the HUD tab
  • Turn all of the options back on manually; again, do not adjust the HUD scaling
  • Exit the game
  • Restart the game
  • The HUD should be back in place as before

While the developers are hard at work looking into the bugs and problems associated with the new Outriders release, it is unknown when this issue will get looked into. Since there is a fix, as strange and disruptive as it is, it is unlikely that this item will be high on People Can Fly's priority list. But hopefully players won't have to worry about their HUD disappearing for long. Until then, players will just have to keep turning the options on and off to get their HUD back.

Outriders is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
