Please fix the menu turning invisible after saving the game —very annoying & hampering my game experience...

It still turns invisible (the menu) after Saving a game !

I downloaded version 4.08 by mistake but when I Save a game, the menu becomes invisible. Only way to reveal is to press Tab & cycle through /w arrow keys --but it's very annoying. I tried everything, but it's messed up --before I had trouble /w screen flickering to desktop issues, but that's gone now. I was forced to use IE_Draw but the game lagged\ stalled when I scrolled --Luckily it works fine now [on DDraw] /w all my Desktop Enhancements apps disabled (Cursor FX et. al.) I will try this latest version tonight. I love your work & I'm very grateful for it: Cheats in Skirmish, support for 1366 x 768, videos which I downloaded --all in all, this is awesome !

Okay so I built Avengers & Fire Bases —it said Avengers use rockets instead, but they don't, & Fire Bases fire machine guns & not garrisoned, but they're just garrisoned with Missile Defenders like usual. Am I missing something, or does this game not work properly ?

Thank you very much, I modified the .ini & it works well now. I can see the battlefield at a lower lvl as a result —kinda like how it was with GenTool, though I grew to hate it. Also thanks for not including a command bar timer thingy or whatever, I need a full untampered interface for use with the Destructive Forces 1.4 Mod. Before I used Widescreen fix from GamePressure.com, but it would jut out, the unit\ building icons. This one saved my life, also since GenTool did something to make Humvees look bigger (had a nice effect) —this Mod fix helped me reduce my FOV (or max height) to 450, things look big —just the way I like it —like with my old desktop at 1024x768 ...This was a real lifesaver !

Awesome mod —I love the new units & structures —there are _LOTS_ of them ! The AI isn't too powerful, as I once feared. Also uninstalling is a piece of cake (just remove the DF big file. Also I'am happy the Campaign mode is available unlike in the "Zero Hour Enhanced" mod. Also when I first ran it using GamePressure.com's Widescreen fix (a 0widescreen.big file), the menu icons were jutting out, due to their command bar time thingy, also there were no clouds like there is now using the plain gamedata.ini file I'am currently using, so it's great. The new gamedata.ini from moddb is so great it utilizes the full screen (lets you edit custom resolution) & zoom out to a point where Humvees are tiny, might tweak this later —I forgot how much they advise to enter at FOV zoom —I'am using 1366x768 on my laptop.

TS fixed itself!!! On TS-DDRAW! I think it's 'cause of the cursor I changed to --so just switching between pointer options & waiting for the cursor scheme alert fixes the game. It was either the mouse pointer ("Starcraft" cursor set) I was using was too large, the wheel scroller (set to 1 page --reverted to 3 lines), or the cursor scheme alert, or maybe even Zabaware Reader app! But it works now! Love this game!! <33

Argh! Just gonna change cursors to Starcraft, I give up! I know this is a software issue\ problem on my end because when I have [Stardock] Cursor FX enabled --I can't see the mouse pointer when I open any context menu on Windows 10. So I will just use regular Windows cursor theme without Pointer Trails or Cursor FX --love this game too much! It will fix the problem for now. Oh & IE-DDRAW sucks! Tried various patchers\ fixit tools but nothing worked --TS Client is such a great standalone game that it comes with all options --only won't fix the smoke-trail leaving mouse pointer issue with Stardock Cursor FX. Let's hope something can be done in a future update! Thanks bro!

I need to know the order of difficulty modes in Shattered Paradise mod [Skirmish.] The AI in Easy AI is bearable but do add Starting units (around ~10ish) please!

Also after saving a game [in-game] & clicking Okay in the alert box, the game menu turns invisible & I have to press Tab + Space to resume the game. Tested in Skirmish --I'm running Windowz 10 Pro on a Celeron low-end laptop.

(I prefer TS-DDRAW.) BTW What's the difference between TS-DDRAW & IE-DDRAW? & do you use a patching engine for updates? (So I don't have to download the entire [276+MB] zip everytime)?

[Cross-posted to ppmforum.com because wouldn't let me post a comment without signing-up] When my mouse has Pointer Trails or when I use Cursor FX --the pointer is invisible in the in-game menu! Works fine on IE-DD but that lags sometimes. On Open RA I had to disable Hardware Cursors to get it to display the mouse pointer again, in-game. But thanks --the game is awesome!! & the cheats are indispensable --don't know how I played it before without it! 10/10 Best mod ever --doesn't tamper any features of the original game. If you could please fix this in a future update, thanks!
