At the login screen, I went to Options->Interface->Hud Settings

I didn't change anything. I simply clicked "OK". The following error popped up:

vo/vo_gamefuncs.lua:259: attempt to index global 'player' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
vo/error.lua:59: in function <vo/error.lua:58>
vo/vo_gamefuncs.lua:259: in function 'GetLicenseLevel'
vo/if_hud.lua:930: in function 'setup_visible_elements'
vo/if_options_interface.lua:528: in function 'apply'
vo/if_options_interface.lua:402: in function <vo/if_options_interface.lua:402>
(tail call): ?

If I change a setting so that I can use the Apply button, I get the same error except the reference to line 402 refers to 404 instead. Everything else is identical. The Cancel button works normally.

It works normally if accessed from inside the game.

This was tested without plugins.

I don't know whether it worked before the last update.

Thanks. Will be fixed in an update.

Fixed in 1.8.244.3
