Text Color for Trade Offers not visible - solved by removing filter

Post by warlock_ba »

Hello,

I am having an Issue where after 30-40h in Game Time the Text for the Trade Offers is not visible anymore. The Text is there, and it gets visible once the mouse hovers over it. This happens on various machines and on all graphic settings (even low low), even on the GeForce Now machines, where I doubt there are any resource problems related to VRAM and other memory limitations, as that machine is overpowered ...

See attached screenshots.

Any help would be appreciated, as I enjoy the game very much, and it is not playable at the moment due to this ...

A little update ... even starting a new game does not solve the problem. Same issue in the new game - so it seems it might be a wrong colour saved somewhere in the settings? Can the text colour be changed somehow, and I might have changed it accidentally?

Thanks,
Andrei

Could you provide the actual DXDiag and vulkaninfo files for the affected systems, please, as requested at the top of the forum? Also the game version and whether it's modified, again as requested at the top of the forum.

I had this too, but found out it was not a bug but only something set as filter in the upper right(you have a filter set in both screenshots too).
Removing that filter should bring back the unfiltered view.

Cheers, I will try that. I think it was something stupid I did. I will try it today.
The Diag stuff is hard to provide, since in most of the time I play it on the GeForce Now service, and there I do not have access to the actual machine.
I can provide it however from my machine, if still needed, since behaviour is anywhere the same. But it is weird that this gets saved even among gameplays.

I die in shame >< thanks! That was it. Oddly enough filters get saved through gameplays O_o it was even there when starting a brand new game.
I did not add it, but since I play on the shield I have a wireless keyboard which’s touchpad tends to make funnies when it wants, so that’s how most likely it got activated ...

Problem solved, thanks again. Back to ripping off the Teladi and the Argon Federation!

Meh
