I've released version 0.0.3 which adds ability to restore all HUD windows via CONTROL + SHIFT + E
(by default). This should help if you want to remove mod and get your HUD back:
- install hud-auto-hide (this mod) 0.0.3 (or newer)
- (from version 0.1.0) choose
CONTROL + SHIFT + E
shortcut to 'Show all HUD windows' in Settings / Controls / Mods: HUD Auto Hide: Show all HUD windows
- load you save
CONTROL + SHIFT + E
to show all HUD windows (including debug windows of other mods)
- save game
- exit to main menu
- remove or disable hud-auto-hide
- load your save
I hope you will be able to continue your 28 hours save.
Regarding inventory items disappearing, I don't see how this mod can affect inventory, it's unlikely caused by it.
Thanks for the suggestion to make HUD togglable with hotkey, maybe I'll add it later. It won't be auto hide this way though.
