Hello guys.

I have been searching forum for an answer to my problem, but haven't found nothing yet. When i ran SL my menu is looking like this:post-1307-1226155231_thumb.jpg

The black triangle is where i see some blue dots after opening the console. Menu buttons and cursor are not visible, but i can hear the sound of mouse mooving over buttons. After couple of minutes of blind trying i was able to start the mission once, and the game itself worked normaly. Esc allso opened up a clear working menu.

Please help if you can.

Thanks

Wow! :D That's hilarious. Sorry, not being insensitive. It looks like all of the color is squeezed down to a point, and the water overlay has taken over. I don't have a suggestion at this time, but you can of course use the console (ctrl-alt-~) to do most basic actions ("map saintlucia", "savegame blah", "exit") until a fix is realized.

Does this FAQ entry help you with the menu?

What type of graphic card do you have?

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." -- George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

 

"Remember: If the game lets you do it, it's not cheating." -- Xarax

That menu is displaying some images correct and others not at all. My first suspicion would be a corrupted download. Try opening the file: guis/assets/mainmenu/background.tga in a graphics editor and see if it works.

All files in main menu works. I downloaded the mission using torrent, so it should not be corrupted.

So did you get it working? I've had weird issues like this but usually reinstalling my video drivers, or upgrading them to latest usually fixes the problems.

 

BTW how fast was the torrent download I'm still seeding but not getting much traffic lately.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
