I seem to have developed quite a serious problem with the game,GWX3GOLD AND stock!

[Paul Riley]

I really dont know how to begin this
About 1hr ago I was happily looking at the nav map (GWX3GOLD) and decided to pull the stopwatch up from the bottom of the message bar (I like to have it at the bottom below the message bar instead of the default top) and time a ship I had just spotted.Then I noticed something very odd,instead of dragging the stopwatch up as I had done so many times before I seemed to be dragging the entire message bar up!.This strange bug? was about the same width as the message bar,and at first I actually thought it was a sort of ruler or something.Another weird thing about it was that there was a texture on this 'bar' and it was as if I was looking down at my feet at the nav table,displaying 2 shoes,and part of the floor.I then thought to myself,somehow the game has managed to lock 2 screens somehow and cant get rid of it,I really dont know

I then reluctantly did a fresh install,removing all traces from my PC of the entire game,yes losing my 1st career in GWX3GOLD , to see if that would correct the problem.I enabled no mods,just a fresh install.As soon as the game booted up I went straight to the nav table,and guess what,it was still there.I also noticed that when in any other screen,either inside the UBoat or on top the message bar was now transparent,where it had been solid before.At this point I was starting to get worried.

I decided then to do another fresh install,only this time just using the stock game.After all the neccessary procedures,I again went to the nav map...and...it was still there...only this time the message bar was white ...and the transparent message bar in other screens.

Conclusion - to be frank i'm really worried,I have no idea what has caused this,and whatever it is it seems to have affected the stock game too! Some of you may be thinking "is that it?,a little glitch like that?" , but the fact remains,it should NOT be there.I am a bit p####d off to be honest,and wondering at this point if all these glitches and problems are worth it,as before I had none of this ,and I really want to get into the meat of GWX3GOLD.

Have any of you heard about this?,and if there is a way to make the message bar solid again how do I do that?I am actually thinking that somewhere on my PC there are still traces of the old install,but I dont know where,I have exhausted all the usual places like,Temp files,clear Reg files,remove career folder in My Docs etc.

Thanks.
