Summary0001375: In-Game Menu becomes non-functional
DescriptionSometimes hitting Esc brings up only the menu background. No parchment or options are visible. This bug has been around for a while.

I've only tried going to the main menu in-game three times, and two of them I got stuck with the "no menu" bug. That was identified back in Thief's Den, where there is no parchment and no options, just the background. The first time it happened was when I hit 'esc' to go to the main menu. It happened another time when I successfully went to the main menu, checked my objectives, and then tried to go back to the main menu again.

You can hit esc and go back to the game, but there is then no way to get to the menu to check objectives or pick a specific game to load or anything else. Nor is there any way to exit the game except to pull up the console and type 'exit', at least that I could see.

No idea if this is relevant, but both times this failed I was playing from a saved game.

I implemented some sort of "watchdog" that shows the main menu if ALL the main windowDefs are invisible. The brute-force attempt to fix this issue.

Please re-open this issue if the bug still occurs.

Has happened to me on two playthroughs of the beta test package.

A bit of info which might indicate something:
-I got the blanked menu by hitting ESC
-I reloaded my savegame but that didn't correct it
-I did a disconnect at the map
-I then tried to restart the map via the menu, but the links were dead (text showed, but didn't work)
-I manually typed map saintlucia, then went back to playtesting
-at some point later I noticed, the menu worked again

 What bugs me is that this has never happened to me - ever. I can do virtually nothing until I have this issue on my very own machine. I'll try to do more saving/reloading next time I'm playing the map.

I have been trying to get this to happen again since the last update on the issue, and have not been able to.
