**Issues With Game options HUD/QB Settings**
I logged a separate issue for this problem but wanted to note it here since this option is a partial workaround. I reference it here: [[ https://feedback.bistudio.com/T170698| T170698]]
Previously, disabling either the HUD/QB in the game options still allowed the player to bring up those UI elements up. They would then auto-hide after a few seconds (like the autohiding task bar in Windows). This was much preferred UX to what they do now where the tilde key does nothing. That makes it impossible to bring up those status indicators without going back into the game options and enabling them directly. While a player may be disabling those for immersion, they're still the only way to check on vitals like hunger, temperature, etc. In short, the pervious functionality was much preferred as it gave a quick way to check on those vital stats.
