Disappearing Gui.

[Edi]

If it's the problem with the list of orders menu not appearing when you hit space with commanders selected (or just click on them to give orders), then that happens with resolutions larger than 1024x768 (or was it larger than 1280x1024 ?). Solution is to hit Esc, move mouse leftward (as usually the menu appears to the right of visible screen space) and try again.

If it's something else, we need more specifics: What part of the GUI, under what conditions and so forth.

No, it is not the list of orders not appearing. (I noticed that one, but I solved that on my own ). But it is the list of commanders of the left not reappearing when you are on the main map screen. You can compare it to the 'h' command, which hides the menu on the right. This also stays hidden when you return to the main map screen.

Of course it isn't the same, as this is not initiated by a key command. It just happens after I load a save of a big game, and issue some orders, go into the army management a few times, and select a few provinces. (The army management seems to trigger it the most).

Thanks for helping everyone.

It can be a corrupted CD-Key, try deleting the file where the game stores de cd-key (forgot the filename)and when you enter the game again it will ask for you cd-key, inform it and see if the problem reappers.

What you are relating sounds like the cd-key protection from the game acting up...

Yeah, that was my first thought too, but the copy protection just removes all the gui, and kills any possible input commands. In this case I'm still able to play. (An I tried it, same result. gui still disappears).

The odd thing is that it only happens after you load a save, if you play the game from the start it does not happen. But save that game, and load it, it can happen. This is the main reason I think it is some sort of bug, and not the copy protection acting up.
