Sub Command & Windows 8 / 10

The ONLY problem is the start menu where you have the choice to choose multiplayer, missions etc is blank. When I move the cursor over where the choices should be, I get the circular pimg so I know where to click to go where I need to.

So, I CAN use it. I guess I'm a stickler and want it as it should be.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Like I said I haven't seen the same problem as I'm posting.

ThanX so much for any help!

There's definitely something wrong. Its only a guess, but it sounds like the title screen can't find the font it needs.
Does this also happen if you change the game resolution?

One last question, does text appear in your Nav map and in your screens that normally show text (radio room, torp room, FTOW, etc.)?

I also run SC on 64 bit Win10, go ahead and start trouble shooting and I might be able to help.
I'd also advise doing an un-install/re-install but be careful how you un-install in Win10. Try it with Win 10's un-install command and see what happens. You should also run CCleaner's reg repair tool (or a similar prog that can repair reg entries) before re-installing.

Thanks Aktungbby!

ET2SN- I should have also mentioned that I run Sub Command with the SCXc mod. I run it the same way on my old win 7 laptop and don't have the problem.

Anyway, yes I do have text on all the other in-game screens, nav, weapons etc. And on the title screen itself I do see the text for the user name with the drop down box and when my mouse goes over where a menu choice should be, I see Sub Command at the top and the circular "ping". Once the mouse is moved, the screen is blank again with only the drop down text box with user name.

I can't change resolution from options in game as you probably knew. I normally have MODE in the .ini file set to 2. I tried it at 0,1,3 and while the game resolution does change, I still have the problem.

As a side note, the moment my screen goes to the title screen, the options do appear, but just for literally a split second, then disappear..

I hate to do a reinstall as I hate messing with registry. But if you tell me it's my only option.........

Doing an un-install/re-install isn't your only option but its usually the easiest way.

I'm also running the SCX mod and I don't recall having problems with it.

You might want to check your SC install disc for scratches and smudges prior to doing a re-install. Otherwise, make sure you let the SCX install run completely once you verify that the stock game works. You should also download a fresh zip file for SCX here and install it.

Hang in there, sometimes these kinds of problems can be tricky to solve.
