Issues with "Use Latest HUD" option

Summary

A handful of issues occur when turning on the “Use Latest HUD” Setting.

1: Slap Stamina

  • Slap effect appearance (orange bar) isn’t applied to the current Stamina bar, and instead causes the old bar to appear on the top-left of the screen.
  • To test this, the Slap effect can be achieved by:
    • Breaking Slap Barrels
    • Using Slap Berry / Slap Juice / Slap Splash / Super Slap Splash / Lawless Slap Jug / Lawless Slap Cannon
    • Equipping Heisted Run ‘N’ Gun SMG / Lawless Twinfire Slap Shotgun

2: Control Prompts

  • Creative-exclusive Control Prompts appear to be using the old styling.
  • The new ones are extremely indented in a weird way (in BR as well), and don’t line up with the Message/Elim Feed, unlike the old ones.

3: Pump & Dump

  • Equipping a Pump & Dump (SMG & Shotgun-hybrid weapon) causes the SMG ammo counter to appear in the middle of the screen, with the old appearance.

4: Consumables & Equipped Item Info

  • Equipping any Consumable item with charges/uses (Shield Potions / Medkits / Throwable Launch Pads / Port-a-Forts) with the OLD HUD causes a huge gap to appear between the item icon and its counter, in the “Equipped Item Info” element.
    • It has been bugged this way since sometime in Ch5S4 (2024), and I’m including this in here in hopes of finally getting it fixed :,)

5: Creative-exclusive HUD Info Box elements

  • The Round Timer and AI Eliminations counter still:
    • Uses the old Noto Sans font with old drop shadow values and font size
    • Displays the icon in a circle instead of a stylized square
    • Displays the icon on the left, instead of the right
  • This is funny to me because all HUD Info elements except these two got updated all the way back in Season X (2019; 7 years ago).

5: Pickup Info Boxes

  • Now these bad boys got updated in BR in Ch2S4 (2020; 6 years ago!), but that change was NEVER brought to Creative.
    • Published UEFN Islands do however use the new appearance.
  • I was hoping that turning the “Use Latest HUD” option on would FINALLY cause the new Pickup Boxes to appear, but it sadly doesn’t.
  • Please, please, please update them.

I would like to add on that it seems some items that have a ‘cooldown’ and ‘refresh uses’, display the incorrect value on the bottom right of its item icon (should be displaying the current uses it has at that moment).

So far, the items that I have found that fall under this issue is:
• Creepin’ Cardboard
• Sneaky Snowman
• Chug Cannon
• Jetpack
