First to post fix gets forum gold. If you edit your post your disqualified.

I used to be able to hover over items and see their stats. Now when I hover over any item, there is no tooltip window with the stats, it just changes the hover color a bit on the item. WHERE DID THE TOOLTIP GO? HOW DO I SEE WHAT ANY OF MY ITEMS ARE? IS THE GAME BROKEN?

If you have a legitimate fix, other then complete reinstall, you get 100 fg.

delete cfg file?

I've looked in my install for a cfg file, did not see one. Where is this config file?

C:\Users\USER NAME\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\FFXIV.cfg

Ok 100fg to you, and 25 fg to you for the path.

Also, what do you think caused this issue? Is something in the HUD controls related to this?

(no fg please)

Probably not but possibly. Oftentimes software just bugs out. There's no real explanation to it other than science isn't an exact science.

i actually think theres a way to disable it and re enable it. could be wrong. he also couldve moved his info window and not realized/remembered it. just some other ideas to think about just the same though, the game does still have bugs, so i would never count that out
