Hello I need the GM to fix my issue.

And now for some ACTUAL help:

If you go to your options (Alt-O by default), there is a tab called 'Keys' that is to select hotkeys for various tasks (including toggling window displays (i.e. opening and closing various windows)). If you choose the UI category under the Keys tab, you'll see what I'm referring to. Most likely, you accidentally pressed the hotkey associated with the group window. I checked mine and it's set to ALT-P (By the way, it's actually called the "party window"
Try pressing ALT-P to see if it comes back on.

Also, you could use the EQ menu, choose players and choose "group status." This will toggle the window display as well.

Hope this helps!

I'm pretty sure the default mapping uses ALT + P for the group (party?) window.

In general, if you ever accidentally lose any window, you can always do the following to get it back:

1. Hit ALT + "q"
2. See if any windows went away; if so hit ALT + "q" again
3. See if any windows (that you don't want) appeared; if so hit ALT + "q" again

Now, repeat steps #1-3, except this time with ALT + "w", and then ALT + "e", and so on and so on, going through the entire keyboard. It will be pretty quick once you start doing it, and eventually you'll find the appropriate key to bring back whatever window you lost.

Of course you could also hit ALT + O, go to the keybinding options, pick UI, find the window you want to restore, and then press the appropriate ALT + whatever key. However, the above approach is about as fast, and after you do it a few times you'll start learning which letter (+ ALT) shows/hides which window, and then you won't even need to go through the process because you'll know what letter to use the next time something goes missing.

Hello

I went to options and the hotkey is set to alt-p I pressed that and nothing happened

[MilanderTruewield]

You pressed them both at the same time?

I don't think a GM is going to be able to give you any additional assistance for client UI / user issues. Sometimes things just break, and you need to re-install the client. This is especially common with Titanium

You might also want to verify that the window isn't located off your screen.

Look at your UI file (e.g., UI_PlayerName_project1999.ini) and find the [GroupWindow] section. What are the values for the lines which start with XPos and YPos?

I believe the correct hotkey to fix this issue is alt + f4

For future reference I added a small section on this problem to the wiki:

[kjs86z]

don't mind the trolls. if the solutions posted so far dont work, there is a rare case where this UI issue can manifest from a networking problem. please post a screenshot of the serial number tag on the back of your router, modem, or combined unit.

You may have set transparency to make the window invisible.

Hello

[Canelek]

Definitely petition.

[aaezil]

Did you try turning it off and on again?

[aaezil]

Oh i think i remember now the shortcut to fix it is Alt + F4

[Darkatar]

If all else fails..

/loadskin
select current UI skin
don't keep current layout

That should reset every window to an easy to reach spot

[MagpieRockyl]

press shift 5 times rapidly then hit "OK" fast before the window depops (3sec timer). this resets the ui of any program you are using. this works only with windows.
