Left panel and other visuals not visible

Kepli

I use 3.0.3b, but I also tried older versions.

When I start the client I get the following screen:

There is no left panel.

When I want to open a game it shows an empty pop-up window, but I can still select a game. After opening a game I see this:

The left panel is still missing and the mini map doesn't show the image, just the drawn lines.

Setting:


I opened another game and clicked on the left side just above the white panel:

Seems the panel is there but not shown.

Not sure anymore when this started to happen, but I have used 3.0.3b without this issue and I haven not changed any graphical settings on my PC as far as I know.
It works fine on my laptop, so I can still use it.

Hi Kepli. if you add SkirmishSupport to your friend list, I will try to help you out.

Kepli

Done. I accepted the request.

Smitemeister

I opened a server. You may connect now. :>

Kepli

I just connected and have an empty screen. 

Kepli

I see that you opened some doors and I see flashes of green circles with numbers. But no icons or left panel.

I also see the FOW lines for the invisible player walking around. No FOW though.

Ok. Seems like there is a problem with your client. Can you see the chat windows?

Kepli

There seems to be the red line I can move that normally makes the chat window larger or smaller. No chat window though.

Did you update your graphics drivers? Maybe updating them might solve the problem. The software itself seems to run but the visuals don't seem to update.

Kepli

That's my current guess as well. I will check into that and get back when I know more. Thanks for you time sofar.

Kepli

I found out my driver was only partly installed. Not sure how that can be, but I just installed a newer one and everything seems to work fine now

Lesson learned: if graphics don't show up , check the driver installation of your graphics card.

Glad we could sort it out. Happy gaming, mate.
