What happened to my onscreen messages?

When I get a skyshard, no message. When I start a new quest line, no message. When I complete a dungeon, no achievement message. I even picked up a lore book today and got no message to that effect.

The only messages I see reliably are the ones telling me that someone's picked up or dropped a scroll in Cyrodil!

    Is there any chance you might have one-shot the messenger?

    It's a confirmed issue with the UI since the last update.. they are apparently working on fixing it. Huge thread about it in the Customer Service section.
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    @Nebthet78 - Do you have a link for that thread? I can't find it. I hope this is fixed soon, it's really sucks not getting these messages.

    The thread referenced above seems to be about a UI bug relating to XP not being awarded in the UI, but what I'm talking about is the lack of on screen messages relating to various accomplishments (like getting a Skyshard, completing a Dungeon, having a skill become available to be Morphed, or discovering a LOREBOOK. I may, for example, get XP that causes a rank IV skill to be morphable, but I wouldn't know it without looking at the skill. And I wouldn't know if a book I read was LORE without checking the journal.

    Frustrating, and I think a different bug than what is being discussed in support. Here's hoping they address this on Monday, too.

    You need to reed through that thread.. the initial topic was about experience not popping up.. but as you read through it, it is noted that no announcements are popping up either. No achievements, no skyshard, no lorebook, etc, etc. which all boils down to a UI issue.

    If I log out and back in before getting a skyshard, the UI will show the message, then within a few more minutes it stops happening.

    So rest assured they are looking into it and there is suppose to be a patch on Monday.

    They fix 1 thing and they brake 2 more. Exactly the same happened to battlefield 4 and others. The hell is wrong with devs nowadays?

    Ah, is what I get for not reading through the whole thread, thanks for catching that. Looking forward to the fix.

    You can /reloadui and it will bring the notification back for a little bit. It's something you have to do sporadically. You also will have to relaodui coming in and out of dungeon load screens and so on. Maybe after wayshrine travel to, not sure. To stay on top, just reload after every load screen at least.

    Yes, yes they did... I have done more bug reports since this last patch than I did in the same time frame during Beta.
