GUI text fields suddenly vanish--just empty spaces

[John]

Alpha 17 release: When playing any map the text in the static GUI fields, the drop-down menu, and in the pop-up boxes will suddenly vanish. The game is still playable, and does not emit any error indications.

Could you take a screenshot of what it looks like? Also, please look at your log files (​http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GameDataPaths) to see if there is any error information in the interestinglog.html that just wasn't displayed in-game. In either case, please attach your systeminfo.txt

Are they completely gone or are they black?

If so settings were changed.

I've got a guess, had something similar.

If so it leigt to GLSL setting.

The game GUI with no text fields

Jaison, The fields are there, just empty (black). Same with the pop-ups. If I try to bring up a dialog the main canvas area is black, and the buttons show up as reddish rectangles with no text. It seems to take about 15 to 30 minutes for it to happen, and it doesn't seem to matter what map I'm playing.

[Jaison]

Ok thanks for the screenshot. I had something like that, but that's a significant difference to the trouble I had.

For me though everything was there except it was black. But as more missing.

Since I have no idea what it could be, this should be better: somebody who knows more about the subject.

Would perhaps be better to change it from Backlog to A18. But should look at with experience and decide that before someone

What are your config settings like, have you modified any, especially graphics settings? If you attach mainlog.html, it will show all the settings loaded by the game.

Replying to historic_bruno:

I've not changed anything. Just load and go. The RV515 is supporting dual monitors. I haven't seen anything like this on any other app I run, some of which are graphics intensive.

This is a duplicate of #2833.

To fix this, you should use another GPU if you have one, or enable GLSL in the config.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for reporting.
