            FAQ

            Why isn't SmartHunter running?

            • []Make sure you have the latest . NET Framework

              []Make sure the app is in its own writable folder

              []Try putting it in a new folder on your desktop or in My Documents

              []Try running it as an admin

              SmartHunter is running but I can't see the overlay?

              • []Make sure the game is running in borderless or windowed, NOT fullscreen

                []Hold LeftAlt, if you can see the red borders around the widgets, you'll see the overlay when you go into a quest

                []If you can't see the red borders, check Config.json to make sure the widgets aren't positioned off your screen. If they are, change the X and Y values.

                Can I turn off monster health? Can I turn off team damage so it only shows percentage? Can I turn off widgets I don't want? Can I turn off other things?

                Yes - Config.json is your friend.

                Can I send damage or other information to chat?

                No, and there are no plans to add this yet. The information shown by this overlay is intended to be for your eyes only.

                Why don't monster parts and status effects update properly in multiplayer sessions?

                This data only updates properly for the quest host. This is just the way the game works and it can't be worked around.

                I can't find the config file. It's not in the zip folder?

                Config.json is generated when you launch SmartHunter.
