Menu/HUD not saving all settings

[Daniolaut]

I do not like menus/HUD items directly in the middle of the screen, so I move literally every box the first time it pops up to my desired location. (Top right.)

Sometimes things will save and stay, but after a time they seem to default back to the middle?

Examples:
Orchestrian menu
Aether currents menu
Job gauges
Gold saucer mini game displays

I think there may be a memory issue here? It would be nice to just assign a default location for all menus. Not only would this resolve whatever issue is causing some menu items to reset, but would also be very user friendly so I don’t have to move literally every single menu in the entire game every time they pop up.

Thank you.

(Also would be nice if **all** menus and HUD items were movable. Like “FATE JOINED” but whatever.)

Job gauges are job-specific, so whenever you switch to a new job, the gauges will be in their default locations, even if a gauge happens to look and function identically to a gauge from a different job. However, once moved, that specific job gauge should stay where you put it.


But aside from that, it sounds like something's wrong with your own system files. My /orchestrion and /acurrent windows stay where I put them and have stayed there for years.

I’m aware about the job gauge thing you mentioned. Jobs I don’t play often seem to reset, but jobs I always play never reset.

Are you 100% certain those menu items have stayed for you? I have alts and copy paste files but the one in question is never touched so it shouldn’t be losing its data.

Regardless of technicalities. It still would be much more simple if we were just able to change the default location of menus.

All of them have an “X” button to close them out in the top right so we should/could be able to place them based on that icon.

**edit. I do have 2 files Of the same XIV file, so if the XIV file checker checks my entire PC for that file, one is often outdated. Maybe updating it regularly or deleting it might help.

Never thought about that being a possible issue until now.

Yep just tested this.

Without logging out, I did timers, menus, sales, purchasing, linkshells, calamity, Armoire, Glamour dressor, GC turn in, GC purchase, 2.0 weekly hunts, 2.0 daily hunts, 3.0 weekly/daily hunts, gold saucer games, Inn room mini games, Orchestrian menu, orchestian list menu, changed jobs, fishing log, challenge log, Ixali turn ins, yada yada yada.

Moving all savable menus to my desired location.

Then I ran back through alllll of them all over again and Orchestrian menu moved again.

I didnt log out, I didnt crash, I just ran around opening all menus including Khloe, collectables, you name it, and once I started making a second trip around all the menus sure enough one reset.

******There is a limit** and I do not like this. This should be PC side, and should never reset. This is very irritating, as jobs HUD settings have reset (multiple times now) including menus. Its very very very irritating to have to constantly move menu items.




So this rules out "file data error", PC error, multiple character error, any kind of error.
