@GENERALZOOLThank you for your detailed post. I tried your suggestions except re-installing, which I'm doing right now. I also think it fails to load some assets. When I did a integrity check with Steam it stated that two files were unable to check and needed to be downloaded again. Let's hope that a complete new download en install will fix it.

 

EDIT: Delete, download and install (Steam) won't fix anything. Issues remain.

Same exact issue, 2 files keep failing to validate re-install didn't helpheard a full system clean boot might fix but reluctant to try as i don't trust my back-ups to be retrievable

Same problem here, no icon buttons, no sidebar, cant even switch sides & colour in skirmishes becouse this options is invisible.

 

Got steam version, validating game files says missing 2 filles, but i make 5x it and still 2files missing, dont know if that is causing problem, but reinstaling game on diffrent hdd dont solve this, my laptop is old but it mathes minimum req, game runs fine but missing sidebar and icon/buttons graphcs on all options in menus...

So according to someone who's game is running fine, the 2 files are unrelated to the problem as they have the same 2 files not validated

Hi-

 

I am running on fresh install of Windows10, with 12GB RAM, SSD Hard Disk, and am getting the same issue. In addition to

 

1. Not being able to see the side bar

2. Not being able to control the properties in the Settings bar

3. I also have an issue with the pointer of the mouse being not aligned with the target -- in a sense I need to click about a cm to the right of the pointer if I want to select something the pointer is aligned with.

 

This is running on Steam, but am considering installing it on Origin to see if the issue is still there.

 

Please can some EA/C&C developers comment? Any potential solutions?

 

Thanks,

Running on Origin, the same exact issue, brand new desktop HP with Win10, 16gb RAM and all that jazz.

It is CLEARLY A BUG, Electronic Arts, please reply with the expected date for fix?

Something I've noticed in common with all of the posts relating to Graphics problems such as this one, is that they all effect Steam and Windows 10.

 

These issues I believe may be linked to Steam somehow. This issue hasn't been effecting Origin Users from what I can tell minus one exception (if I'm wrong, please say so, as I'm only working with current observations).

 

Effected users have the following common factors:

Operating System: Windows 10

Using Steam Client

High-End Resolution (above 1080p)

 

This isn't effecting everyone, so I'd be interested in finding other common factors. It may be possible that this is effecting specific Steam Store Servers, so please inform me what Store Front you're using. The High-End Resolution may or may not be linked.

 

Potential solution if the Resolution has caused this:

Try running the game in lower than 1080p (Mine is set to 1600x900), it might be that Widescreen Mode isn't supported properly due to damaged, incompatible or missing files. If you're having issues setting this to a lower setting, try looking for the Config File and change it manually (Filetype is usually '.INI' or '.CFG' or '.Config' should be easy to find though).

 

Please Note: I'm not an expert, I work on observations only, my potential solution may have no effect.
