Beta 6 Single-player pre-game UI is wholly broken

from Offworld Forums
  • ver 0.6.7973
  • Direct3d 11.0
  • Win7 64-bit, 16GB RAM
  • Graphics settings: Medium, 1920x1200, 30fps, full-screen

Started up the game a moment ago and was informed that Beta 6 had been installed since last play.  I thought it was a short changelog, but maybe not all changes logged(?)

Clicked single-player.  Would have liked to resume my skirmish from earlier, but was no longer available due to the update. (Pain point.)

Clicked Skirmish, and was brought to the pre-game setup UI.

Clicked Difficulty dropdown, and while it highlighted, there was no dropdown (see screenshot).  

UI elements highlight, but do not dropdown

 

Same behavior observed for each UI dropdown element.  When clicking the player name, a column of weird boxes appeared at the bottom.

Clicking player name produces weird boxes at bottom

When I clicked "Standard Rules" button, it brought up an empty pop-up that I could not close.  (See screenshot).  

Empty rules popup

 

Even escaping back to the main menu did not clear it; I had to exit the game.

Exited game and was able to repro.  Exited game, restarted Steam, restarted Offworld, and was able to repro.

I was able to click "Start game" and begin a standard game.  It seemed slow and choppy compared to Beta 5, but I'm not certain, as I usually play with Reveal Map.

Please let me know if any other information would be helpful.

I had the same thing going on for the next version. Rules popup acts the same way in multiplayer lobby setup.

Glad to report that today's update seems to fix all issues.

The Alpha UI is still WIP, from what I can see, but it's significantly faster already. My poor tortured laptop is thankful.

I haven't been able to try the new UI in multiplayer for obvious reasons, but so far it seems to run a lot more smoothly. Normally having Chrome open at the same time as the game cripples its performance, but I was able to get through a skirmish smoothly using the new UI with Chrome up.

I've sent a report to the developers, thank you for posting.
