Hi all,
I am experiencing a very strange problem with my AoM installation. Earlier today I was playing just fine. I closed the game, played something else, and later launched the game again. After launch, where the main menu is shown, there is no user interface showing anymore. All I can see is that phoenix flying over the desert, see attached screenshot. However I can move my cursor around and whenever I hover over a button, I can hear the ‘clicking’ sound. Because I am a fan, I know the main menu by heart and I managed to start a skirmish game, which gets me thinking maybe this bug is not even my biggest problem after all?! (haha). Well in the game, I can play just normal but I do not see any user interface at all. I can see some rectangles in the bottom of the screen when I select units (see attached second screenshot).
I tried restarting the game, but UI would not show.
I tried rebooting my computer, but UI would not show.
I tried repairing the game from the XBox app, but UI would not show.
I remembered playing Seth in the last game and destroying everything by casting Meteor a few times. I was starting to believe that some meteors hit my AoM installation, too. Therefore I even uninstalled the whole 22.5GB game from my hard drive and downloaded and installed the whole 22.5GB game once more. And guess what: The UI does still not show!
I am happy about any help I can get… hopefully I can still manage to unlock all those profile icons!

AoM Build: 100.18.419.0 (according to XBox app)
