Common Problems

I don't see any NPC's health bars.

  1. Use CTRL+V to show nameplates for all NPCs and players (enemies and allies) and Shift+V to show only friendly NPCs/players. If you have changed your default keybindings, do the following to re-enable these bindings:
  • Login to your character
  • Press Esc to bring up the in-game menu
  • Choose Key Bindings
  • Select Targeting
  • Scroll down until you see Show Enemy Name Plates and bind this to a key
  1. If you want to display nameplates when not actively targetting anything:
  • Login to your character
  • Press Esc to bring up the in-game menu
  • Choose Interface
  • Choose Name
  • Check Always show nameplates
  1. Use the following script to set the nameplates to default distance:
  • /script SetCVar("nameplateMaxDistance", 50)
  • /reload
  1. If that script doesn't work, try the following:  
  • /run SetCVar("nameplateMaxDistance", 100) SetCVar("nameplateOtherTopInset", -1) SetCVar("nameplateOtherBottomInset", -1)ReloadUI()
  1. If the issue persists, try a full CVar reset:  
  • /console CVar_default
  • /reload

It's important that /reload be used at the end of a command (or string of commands) to push the settings.
