How I knew it worked because of this, text being a different shade of white
Release Elite Dangerous HUD Mod (EDHM)
- Thread starter GeorjCostanza
- Start date
Glad you got it working.
Use a XML file from here. Select the one you like best and use EDHM XML Profile Tool - Google Sheets
to get the values to put into XML-Profile.ini. It is in the manual and EDHM-v1.51-Profile-Guide.pdf
The reason is mentioned in the manual on page 2.
I just use Elite Dangerous to take my screenshots while using the mod ... F10 for a normal screenshot and ALT + F10 for the high res version.
Without knowing your setup. Try;
SHIFT F1 disables the mod. A second press disables the mod on the panels but not the HUD.A third press restores the mod to both the panels and the HUD.
Hmm, do u mean which ED game I use, I've got Horizons! if it was that u asked for?
I was thinking more of which XML file you were using.
Shift F1, should work until GeorjCostanza gets back online.
Okey will try that but I think it would be nice if the mod doesn't vanish the avatar face, but that's my opinon!
I've never heard of that before, the portraits always show in the mod. So there must be something interfering with the correct loading of the shaders.
Firstly, just need to check you downloaded the mod from the github, and not a beta version someone might have given you:
GitHub - psychicEgg/EDHM: Elite Dangerous HUD Mod
Elite Dangerous HUD Mod. Contribute to psychicEgg/EDHM development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
Second, did you read the installation section of the manual and follow all the advice there?
Third, turn off all overlays (Steam, Discord, Geforce experience, etc) as the modding software can be sensitive to overlays on rare occasions
Fourth, make sure you're not running EDFX or Reshade
=================================================
Assuming you've done all of that, I recommend running a 'Validate game files' from the Elite Launcher, Options menu
That will reset your elite-dangerous-64 folder back to default and ensure nothing in there is interfering with the mod. You'll need to unzip the mod files again as the validation process will delete them (don't copy them out then back into the folder, in case there was something wrong the first time)
=================================================
Next, check your graphics override file is empty:
C:\Users\$username$\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics\GraphicsConfigurationOverride.xml
Custom code in there can interfere with the mod.
=================================================
After doing that, don't run ED Profiler as a small number of CMDRs had it configured to change graphics settings that stopped the mod from loading correctly.
Basically, everything needs to be at Elite default.
=================================================
Finally, I recommend setting your anti-virus/malware to exclude the elite-dangerous-64 folder, as that's been the source of problems in a very small number of cases
=================================================
That's about all the troubleshooting advice I can suggest right now, let me know how you go

Thx for the troubleshooting guide, Yes I've tried to read and understand the manual but I just start with your demo Startup-Profile.ini just to test it out, perhaps it's "EDProfiler" that has some impact to do with this mod, I've got no reshader installed or EDFX, and have tried with both "Verify integrity of game files" and even did a clean reinstall of the game, will try to uninstall "EDProfiler" and then with just EDHM.

Hmm it sounds like a pretty default config. It could be ED Profiler if it's set to change any of the settings, but only about 5 CMDRs have reported problems.
What sort of gfx card are you using? A few CMDRs are getting anomalies when running an AMD card but I can't see any consistent pattern yet, as there are many who run the mod on AMD without issues
Hopefully we can sort it out
There are certainly XML profiles that screw up the portraits, but the ones that come installed with EDHM all have natural portraits. You haven't changed anything in XML-Profile.ini?
You can cycle through the Hotkey profiles with CTRL 5,6,7,8,9 .. maybe check if they're all blank as well.
It's a really weird bug! If the portrait shader wasn't loading then parts of the HUD shouldn't load either, since they're all part of the same shader .. like the Heat signature signal on the far right (what I originally thought was a radio signal .. for about 2 years
.. and the multi-colour shield rings .. try cycling through shield colours with F2 and see if any are black
