<div class="IPBDescription">cant see popups on aliens or marines</div> Hi i like the mod. playing off updated CS retail. Open GL. GF4. I get into the game and can play and shoot things as the basic player and stuff but when i press R M button all i get is overwritten white words in the top left of the screen, not the nice menu as expected from the tutorial. Any thoughts? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You 2 are the only ones that I have seen this bug from, and I mod the forums and run IRC.... Must be something with your video drivers? Are those updated and all?

    I also had the same problem when i first installed NS, it also came along with numerous other problems including crashes to the desktop and the GUI of the aliens resource and enery bars not becoming transparent leaving a bright purple background. After deleting my NS folder in my halflife directory I reinstalled and everything worked fine. I am using a Gefore2MX with the 30.82 drivers installed, 400mb ram, windowsXP Home, 800X600 opengl, 1.7Ghz and of course the latest version of HL 1.1.1.0.

    <b>Hope This Helps</b>

    I had this exact same problem, as did a few people I met online. In addition to not seeing the popup menus, I couldn't see the mouse pointer in commander mode, the masking on the alien HUD was buggy, and the marines' mini-map hardly worked at all. I finally got it to work, but I don't know quite how. All I can do is tell you what worked for me. I have an Intel 82815 graphics card - hardly the top of the line. I updated my drivers and switched Half-Life's video mode to Direct 3D rendering, and that made everything work as it should. Hope this helps!

    When helping a user sove this probem yesterday I reccomended that he change his video mode from OpenGL to Direct3d, once he did that the menu worked fine. Try that.

    Ok i just switched to d3d and it works fine... I think it has to do with video modes incompatible with video cards on this particular mod...
