FIX: (sortof) All UI elements dissapearing

Post by Wavesonics »

The newer ATI drivers introduced a problem where all of the UI elements would disappear. It seems to be linked to holding shift.

To fix this, get ATI driver version 7.11 or under
File Name: 7-11_xp32_dd_54435.exe
Link: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/p ... 11-xp.html
You only need the display drivers, no need to downgrade the Control panel.

BTW the new 8.2 version still has this problem. I also cannot enable shadows with those drivers as the OpenGL extension fragment_program_shadow is "missing"... :wink:

Don't know if this will help (or if I am even posting on the right place). The problem seems to occur after a couple of metal extractors are queued up. Maybe the problem is caused by the map switching to the filter that shows where the metal deposits are. At least that what seems to start the problems on my computer.

Hi, I just started playing and have been experiencing this bug. I found a bit of a workaround, by right clicking and drawing a line I can get my UI back. Similarly by hovering over a build menu.

Anyone got a better fix, or is it roll back driver time.
