Hey guys, I hadn't played in about a year, but today I tried to play after updating to 1.1. I updated all my mods and everything, but for some reason in my game, whenever there is supposed to be a mouseover text box, there is no text box but just a shadow. It can be seen here (https://imgur.com/a/OKCy6fu) in the bottom above the research tab and here (https://imgur.com/a/GbwiVYz) at the bottom right of the work menu. I am not sure if this is caused by a bug or what, so I would appreciate some help. I tried deactivating all mods that I thought were UI related but still had the same problem. Does anyone know if a mod causes this problem or if it is related to something else?

Hi,
at first you should try if the same problem happen at new colonies right at the start.
If you enable developer mode at the option, you can use the quickstart function of hugslib (top right icon) to create fast a test colony.
When the problem don't appear right at the beginning, it is a mod error/conflct which appear only during gameplay, then you should look at the log at your safegame if some error's show up.

But when the problem appear right at the beginning, you just need to deactivate mods until it is gone, and identify the mod at this way.

So when I started a new game, I did not have the same problems. I really am not sure what to look for in the save log, however.

When you got developer mode active, the top left icon open the log window.
Red text are errors.
Just check the log window when a tooltip (that is the name of these textbox) didn't show up.
Click on the red text then you see a detailed description below. Maybe you can identify a modname there.
But it doesn't even need to be a UI mod, maybe a bad description from some other mod could cause that problem too.
Thats why it is hard to track such problems to a specify mod.

You prolly see a green "Share log" button too, you can try that to share modlist/logfile with other. Maybe someone got a clue when he see it.
