Summary

The new HUD does not work properly with the following customisation:

  • Layout positioning does not affect the new HUD.
  • Minimap customisation in the Map Controller (eg changing shape/turning on and off lock axis) doesn’t work.
  • Custom HUD overrides (eg quickbar override) do not hide the original HUD elements. This can be problematic with Custom Items and Inventory enabled as its custom HUD shows on top of the regular quickbar HUD, so 2 inventories are shown at once.
