Game runs with no GUI

Hello!

I've just bought WFTO, download + install and... there is no menu for me.

I did everything what is said in this thread: https://forum.subterraneangames.com/threads/solution-for-ui-does-not-show-or-game-is-very-slow.8665/

So I change my Intel to AMD as high performance but there is still no menu for me - just the dungeon heart + all sounds. It's changed to "High Performance" even after PC restart.

By watching movies on YT I've found invisible (for now) Campaning button and manage to start game but it stops to work after few seconds.


My PC:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U, 2.20 GHz (4 CPUs)
8 GB RAM
Intel(R) HG Graphics 5500


Here's the latest output

output_log.txt

Game Version:
Steam Public
Platform:
Windows
Duplicates 1
UI Missing

My copy of War of the Overworld is having the missing UI problem that others seem to have. I did the original fixes posted with the popup, although that no longer loads and I do not have the link to that particular thread, my apologies.

I have since updated to Crimson for Radeon which is completely different from the instructions located in those other threads (I don't have catalyst anymore, not really sure why), so am at a loss as for what to do.

Let me know what I need to post if anything.

Thank you for any help.

Hi Kamil. Sorry you're having such issues. According to the log it looks like the GPU being used is still the Intel GPU. I also noticed in your screenshot that you haven't set the coherentui_host.exe to High Performance as well. Try that.


Can you also upload the War for the Overworld Launcher Log.txt file found in the same location as WFTOGame.exe?

I've set coherentui_host.exe to High Performance but I still don't see game menu.


Here you are - two fresh .txt files you asked for:

Yep logs say its definitely not using the AMD GPU. Take a look in the Power -> Switchable Graphics Global options and see if its globally disabled. You could try updating the drivers too.

I've download the newest drivers as it was said in https://forum.subterraneangames.com/threads/solution-for-ui-does-not-show-or-game-is-very-slow.8665/


I've tried all possible combinations in Power -> Switchable Graphics Global options and there is still no game menu for me...

I have no idea where else I should (or could) click to change Intel to AMD GPU so the game will finally start to work

In addition to the AMD drivers you could also try updating your Intel GPU drivers: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/

Just did as you said - I've updated my Intel GPU drivers from link you've posted. After that I tried to run the game (so the newest patch was dowloaded) but still no game menu...

Hey Kamil,


For some reason it looks like the Intel GPU drivers didn't update. Maybe try this specific driver download here and restart your laptop after install: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26078/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-and-Windows-7-8-1-15-40-?v=t

Hi Kamil,


My name is John and I am part of the support team at Coherent Labs.


Scott has escalated this to our support system and we are also investigating the problem you are experiencing on our side. Could you check what the version of your Radeon Software Crimson is? I saw from your screenshot that you have checked "Allow additional power-savings." and that you are in Power saving mode. Could you uncheck the option and move to a High performance mode?


Regards,

John

Scott - I've downloaded files from the link you've post. Installed and restart PC. Nothing changed, still no menu for me...


John - Hello!

Here are screenshots -> I've changed all to High Performance but there is still no UI. I've added latest output and launcher log as well

Sometimes (not always) when I run the game I'm still receiving this information:
