If you use the cheat “noui”, your Tooltip position will be “Off” in the Settings.
Ohhhh, so the issue is with the NOUI command not giving back the tooltip setting its former value! I did use such code recently, to take screenshots, so it’s good to know what. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
What is NOUI cheat? I don’t see it listed:
Would it turn off Extended Tooltips randomly, too? Or is there a cheat code I may have done at some point to make it unreliable?
“Toggle Extended Tooltips” still keeps getting disabled - v101.102.52940.0 (#118476).
Every time I’ve fire AoE2:DE up the past couple weeks to play, it is disabled. I have to re-enable it every time. So, the issue has gotten much worse (much more frequent than ever for me)
I never hit F1 to cause this. Neither on purpose, nor by accident.
And even after I enable it for single player, if I play ranked, it’s disabled. I’m not Viper or Hera. I don’t memorize what everything can do and what units…
EDIT: Oh, is it a “No
U
ser I
nterface” type of cheat? Never heard of that, if so. Pretty sure I would have never used it, so would be unrelated
EDIT 2: Ahh, guess it’s a “mod” rather than a “cheat”, in the typical sense of the word:
“noui” is a cheat for single player to toggle the UI for screenshots
