HUD Disappears When I Tweak Graphicsconfig file.

[CMDR M. Lehman]

Brand new VR user here (Reverb G2, still getting a feel for it even though it's AMAZING!). I've noticed that whenever I try to change my ship's HUD color, the menus disappear entire from the game. The splash screen is just my ship, with the main menu itself totally missing. When I have Steam verify the game's files, the graphicsconfig settings are restores to default and the menu is once again visible. I've checked that I'm not using irregular spacing and have even used Kaii's graphics tool, yet any alteration to these files causes the HUD to vanish.

What am I doing wrong?

You may just need to recenter. Sometimes if the camera is too far forward, you can't see the UI. Failing that, there's also a keybind that toggles the HUD.

Only time I tried switching hud colours, it left the entire game as black and white.
Wouldn't even get fixed with deleting the file and repairing.
Had to sanitise all the config files and redownload the game.

And it's really not necessary.
It was somewhat needed with the early Pentile screens of the cv1 and Vive, which meant you only had half native resolution of red and blue pixels, switching to a greener hub gave improved clarity and read abillity.
The g2 is fully RGB and so high a resolution you can't even see the screendoor anymore.
Just dial the hud illumination down to the bottom.

Heck it's easier to red the text in the g2 than my monitor.
