According to discussions on Steam, where people contacted FS support, the UI Beta has been delivered properly and it's only not working on a case by case basis.

Yet, according to sources close to devs from this forum the entire release was FUBAR.

So, the question/request is will FS actually own up and make a public statement to let us know WTF is happening, or will this be yet another game of whack a mole where anyone who contacts them, by whatever means (IRC, PM, EMAIL, etc), gets the answer they want/need to hear based on the info that person they spoke with had; none of which conforms to the story being told by other company reps.

I'm on vacation until January. I'm not sure what happened, someone else made the beta after I left. Most likely a build flag wasn't set properly, or something for the build was not updated correctly.

Enjoy your vacation and stay off the forums.....:D


But when you get back, if you could disable "UI_Broken" and then maybe enable "Super_Secret_Cab_Suppot_that_Mike_Put_Alot_Of_Work_Into" that would be great! At the mall, Santa said it would happen....on the 12th day of Christmas...:eek:

Every time my cab knocks, an Angel get's it's Wings!

The beta broke my game. I updated to the UI beta, as I noticed it while I was digging around looking for a solution to the 'launches in wrong resolution bug'. I guess I should have checked here before installing it, but I figured worst case scenario I could just reinstall the consumer version. So I finish the update, attempt to launch the game to check it out, it doesn't launch. At this point, I check here, apparently the beta is broken. Ok, no big deal, I'll revert to the regular build. Did so, game doesn't launch. Hmm weird, must be a beta bug that lingers. I uninstalled the entire game, then reinstalled the regular build. Still nothing. Even after a reboot. What can I do to fix it?

I click to launch in steam as normal, the choose DX9/DX11 ect dialog pops up, when I choose either option, I get an hourglass for a second then nothing. If I try to launch the game again, Steam shows error, saying the game is already running. I do have an item in my task manager for PA, but it is using 0% resources, and basically does nothing until I kill the task.

Is there an error log or something I can get you, Mike (or whoever is not on vacation lol)?

Edit: Now I'm having this issue with other programs. Must be an OS issue, I guess this was just the first thing I noticed it with. I'm on Win10 if anyone else has had this issue.
