Item labels became invisible all of a sudden on gamepad.

When i played today, on PC with a gamepad, for a while i noticed that no loot dropped anymore.

When the lootfilter went BAM and clearly indicated on my screen that something dropped i figured something was wrong.

But since there was no item label, i couldn't pick anything up.

i restarted the game with keyboard/mouse and all the loot became visible again on my screen.

restarted the game again on gamepad > still not visible.

disabled loot filters on gamepad > no effect

Also the hotkey to show all loot does nothing.

also in a town, normally on gamepad the npc names and stash label was always visible, and all of a sudden i can only see it when i'm really close to it.

So guess i stop for now, since i can't see the loot anymore.. which is kinda useless in a loot centric game.

Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

I seem to have fixed it on pc.

In this file:

Documents\My Games\Path of Exile 2\"poe2_production_Config.ini"

under the "[UI]" section i changed:

always_highlight.gamepad=false

to

always_highlight.gamepad=true

and now the item labels and npc labels etc are working again like they should be.

This is however something the game randomly changed by itself, also i can't find any option in the option menu to toggle this flag.

at least i now know how to fix it if it happens again.
