UI is bugged/misplaced and can't press the buttons

Grim Dawn Public Test Bug Reporting
1

Hello!

First of all, this issue is in the playtest.

I’m having this issue where my talents panel and other parts of the UI are misplaced, can’t even press the button “+” to add points to the bar.

I understand playtests have this kind of problems but now I can’t even launch the live version of the game, it opens normally but as soon an i get to the main menu, the game crashes.
I spoke to people on Grim dawn discord and they told me it’s probably my save files that need to be reverted (somehow).

I have the “crash.xml” from the crashreport if needed…

Thanks in advance

remove the save folder, and replace it with your backups you created before entering playtest,
1.3 saves/stash isn’t compatible with 1.2.1.6 version so need to be removed from the save folder
*unsure if it was actually necessary, but it’s possible you also need to delete the options.txt (or can use the repair tool to reset it after reverting to live version, - also verify game files just to make sure)

Probably related to UI scaling.

I tried the UI scale slider left and right and keeps misplaced

The backups i created? What backups? :rofl: :rofl:

Ok so since no backups, i can’t really go back to the live version, all i need now is to fix the UI :smiling_face_with_tear:

ui issue is normal as you can read on the playtest forum, will likely be addressed in soon/future playtest update

the ones you were expressly instructed to create before daring to venture into 1.3 :wink:

I’m not blaming anyone!
All i did was search for playtest code on google and join, that was it. Im not even mad :sweat_smile:

not suggesting you were,
it’s just funny to me how many people made the same mistake this time around, from simply not reading the ikea instructions :sweat_smile:

yea lol… anyway, is there something i can do about the UI? Or just wait

That is definitely borked beyond normal. Have you tried verifying the game files? Maybe reinstall the game?

i’d check the other ui posts if there was a suggestion there (i don’t remember)
like Giver says, verify game files,
can also use repair tool to reset settings, then go by incremental option settings incase it’s a specific box impacting yours
(remove any modifications if using such just to clean check, grimtex etc)

12

Yea, both.
Played with the UI slider as well as resolutions

Interesting, then like Gnomish mentioned, try the repair tool in the games install directory. Did you play with any mods prior to installing 1.3? You’ll want to make sure those are gone. When you uninstalled the game, did you remove any leftover files from the install directory and install fresh? Also cut/paste the options.txt file located in Documents/My Games/Grim Dawn/Settings to your desktop to make the game generate a fresh file.

If none of that works, let us know the resolution you’re playing at and what the UI scale is. Maybe we can recreate the issue so the devs have as much info on this as possible.

Never installed any mod before.
As soon as i update the game to playtest version, some files change and repairtool disappears from directory, but i’ve used it before for the live version.
Removed options.txt as well as both UI and Fonts files, nothing worked.

I’m playing at 2560x1440 @164hz 16:9, but tried 4:3 multiple resolutions and the UI stays bugged just the same way, both windowed and fullscreen. Tried UI scale all the way left/right and middle, nothing.

Already reinstalled and verified files multiple times, no errors.
If i check classic HUD, this is the result:

Also, below the “Undo points” i can’t press anything there, if i press left mouse my character starts moving as if i was clicking on the floor

Try removing that again and the settings.txt file as well, then restarting the game.

Do you have any scaling set in windows? If you do, try disabling that. :man_shrugging:

Yeah it looks like my repair tool is gone as well. This is going to be difficult to recreate.
It seems like something is corrupted with the install if it’s doing this consistently but I’m not sure what. It looks like the UI is dealing with conflicting files so that leads me to believe that it’s either not being fully installed or something previous isn’t being removed.

What all is in your settings folder? I only have keybindings.txt and options.txt. Try removing everything but those two files and see what happens?

Edit: I was able to recreate this issue exactly by installing the ModernGrimDawnUI mod.

Make sure the settings folder has only those two files, keybindings.txt and options.txt and let us know if that resolves it.

You’re a life saver, i installed that more than a year ago and it was still there… It was those 2 files UI and fonts

Thank you so much, I wouldn’t be able to detect this any time soon on my own!!

Edit: somehow, the first time i tried removing both files they appeared there again for some reason (i didn’t delete them i placed them on my desktop) but now it’s clean with only the keybinds and options txt
