No HUD with new BP build, any help appreciated.
EDIT: I've realised WORDS WORDS WORDS, so to paraphrase, NO HUD WITH NEW BUILD, PLZ HALP.

I'm sorry if this is out of sorts, but I couldn't see a dedicated "post your troubles" thread, feel free to move or delete this.

To the point; today I installed the new WiH release by means of the BP complete installer. I selected the new build and the mod in the launcher. I created a new pilot, but I noticed something was off when I tried to play a bit of WiH r1 to get me in the mood for what has been my most anticipated release of 2013   :D. I noticed there was no text appearing during the battle for Neptune cutscene, though the sound that plays as text is displayed still appeared. After watching the scene (remembering all the dialogue anway  :P), I changed the campaign to Tenebra. I played through the first mission, assuming that the lack of HUD was deliberate for what is a sort of dream sequence, but on starting the second mission, it seems that I still don't have a HUD. This happens when I play any mod or even the basic campaign on the new build. Before it's said, yes, I've tried Shift-O.

Thanks for your time.

Can you post a debug log? I'm guessing this is due to you running in a resolution we neglected in our hud gauges table. Try mixing up the resolutions (1680x1050 definitely works).

Wow, didn't expect such a prompt reply, and from the General himself! But, erm, how do I post a debug log, sorry .

I'm playing on 1024x600, I'm off to try 1280 quickly.

EDIT: 1280x720 works fine, thanks for the help! I'll still post a log if you want, though, does it have something to do with the debug .exe file?

Run the debug version of the BP build (has a big ol D or Debug on the end of the filename and should be in your FS2 folder). Then go to FreeSpace2/data/ (or whatever your FreeSpace2 folder is called), find fs2_open.log, pastebin it and link it.
