Default Name display problem on items.

Hello everyone,

I mistakenly disabled a mouse option that allows displaying the names of objects when the mouse pointer is over them I the inventory.
Does anyone know the keyboard shortcut to re-enable this option?

Thank you and good game to all of you.

Try rebooting your computer.

I get this problem every now and again. Rebooting always fixes. Edit, I see that rebooting didn't fix it for you. Not sure then.

Could you have unmapped it in your in-game keyboard options? Normally it's bound to ALT, but perhaps (I'm honestly not even sure this is possible) you changed it to another key?

Make sure it's a real reboot and not shutdown/startup (unless you disabled fast startup in adv power options).

You are probably right because I only play with hotkeys. I must have disabled the option by mistake with ALT+???. I'll try to find the right key.

I don't know what a real reboot means. My computer is shut down every night and restarted every morning. That's not the problem I think.

Thanks anyway.

It's a windows compatibility issue. Even in compatibility mode, this is a known bug where hover-over tooltips don't work. Only way to fix it is to restart PC.


If it happens frequently, try running p99 client in compatibility mode (Windows XP Service Pack 2)

Shutting down you PC and starting back up the next day will NOT solve this. You must do just a simple restart.
