Expected Results:

Should show Black and Red Box when displaying with vis_contents OR overlays

Actual Results:

Displays for overlays and not vis_contents


Workarounds:

Overlays and I assume images work
I'll take a look at this Monday.

HUD objects should support vis_contents just fine (they were one of the reasons this var was requested), but there could be a layering issue in play.
I was taking a look at this in the discord, and it seemed an awful lot like that image bug you fixed the other day, where the messages for a newly displayed object didn't show up, but an update to that object would cause it to appear.
In that case, does the issue still appear in 1393?
Yes, it does
This has been an issue with vis_contents since day one of the 512 release. Sorry for not mentioning it, but I spent a long time playing around with it trying to make sure I wasn't just using it wrong. >.>
