On screen text goes bye-bye

[Stilcho]

So I browsed through the bugs post and didn't see any mention of my problem so I thought I'd throw this out to the group.

Twice now (in two different games) my on screen text (the text telling me of important events, damage dealt etc...) just stops working.  I checked the settings and everything says it is enabled.  I tried toggling it to get it to work again with no luck.

The first time, I tried starting a new game and the text on the new game was gone too!  I had to reinstall the entire game to get it working again.

It just happened again.  There doesn't seem to be any corellation between the two events though, the first happened after almost 230 days, and I'd been an independent force for half of that.  This time I'm only at day 96 or so and just barely declared independent...  I'm chapped.

Does anyone know how to fix this without uninstalling and reinstalling the whole game?  I'm about ready to give up and move on to something else.

That sounds bad.. I noticed something similar myself, only in battle though, it sounds like it's all text for you? In one battle the texts suddenly stopped coming, but the battle was coming to an end so I didn't bother me, and it only happened once.

Edit: Maybe the log becomes full?
Probably not, but it's the only thing I can think of. My incident happened after mowing down a whole heap of weak bandits with a charger, so there was tons of messages, and then they stopped.

I've not had that problem. 
Maybe you should include some information as to what patches you have included... what other mods you are running with your version of NE.  (battlesizer?  graphics mods?  etc.) 
What version of NE are you using? 
What in-game options do you have turned on or off that might possibly affect game battles?  or what combination of options?  wounding system?  shield bash?  spear wall?  etc.  etc. etc.

Your in-game messages didn't come out because it probably got flooded out by a very long list of error messages (you can try looking into your message log everytime your in-game messages stop working). Looking at those error messages might give you a clue as on to what's gone buggy.

Fraid while this does happen commonly to me in battles when there are tonnes of deaths in a rather short time frame, it does always come back to life a short while later and always before the battle has ended.  Have you tried posting this in the technical support forum for Mount & Blade or is this something that has uniquely happened only when using this mod and it otherwise continues showing the text with just the native module loaded?

 

[Stilcho]

I've never had it happen playing the original Mount and Blade, but apparently patience is a virtue.  I turned off the game, and my computer and walked away for the day.  When I came back last night everything was back working how it was supposed to...  With my first game, I started receiving other error messages before the text disappeared, so I assumed it was all part of the problem.  So far with this game, no errors at all!

Thanks team.

This, last night i saw a lot of shield bash script errors during a siege, they started coming in faster and faster and then the messages totally dissapeared.

Never came back either.. I quit the game after that.

Ever thought about turning shield bashing off?

If it is off, well I dunno. ._.

i had this twice also, but it was about a rebellion in one of my villages, they were just farmers and bandits, so,,i didnt' really paid attention to this bug

I don't suppose you're using cheats, are you? The messages go away on mine when I activate cheats.
