So what is this about?

I clicked to join a game and then a few seconds later, this appeared. However, the game appeared to be working in the background as I could hear the game noises and even bring up the console. I’ve never seen this before, not even on other games. Just curious as to what happened.

Based on what’s printed, I would guess that newfangled UI update brought a few problems with it.

I’m no expert, but it should be a one-time thing, maybe something didn’t load fully, and it caused the UI to crash.

Ahh gotcha. I should have inferred that from the fact it says “UI” right there xD

It was just a weird screen that I’ve never seen before. I should have posted this is the bug section though. Hopefully it gets fixed, if it’s an issue with the recent update.

Okey…I have seen black and blue but not red. ←_←

That… That is red. And bright. Very red and very bright.

Passing it along.

Looks like an error in the sourcecode.

Thanks! The game worked again as soon as I restarted it, so it wasn’t a big deal. :smile:

And yes… it was very bright! D: It sorta scared me haha

Looks like LUA. Is there anything with a green screen and a white screen to finish off this series?

Oh God Noooo!!! not the blue screen of deaths cousin the red bootstrap error of death


(Dagasawr) #10

its probably to do with the new front end software they swapped to :frowning:

The few perks of red-green colorblindness, less red! But wow, that is even a very bright and vibrant red for me, I can only imagine how blinding it is for you all.

@Sploosh Glad your issue seems to be solved but if the problem persists, try verifying your game cache via steam, it’s amazing how much havoc a corrupted file can cause. Right-Click on your game, go to properties, local files, then click ‘verify integrity of game cache’ at the bottom. This tends to fix a lot of issues with games that have given me errors in the past. Also, remember to update your graphic drivers often.

Move aside everyone, we have an expert.

It doesn’t look like LUA at all. You can clearly see “Angular”, “Object” and “js” all over the place.

Damn, if that ever happened to my computer I would probably run for cover

I guess I should have mentioned that it didn’t happen to the computer, just the game. I run my game in windowed mode so when it happened I knew it was just something with the update and not my computer dying on me! :smiley:
