these UI text menu problems happen in all "interact" merchants/device/boards/mine ladder. But sometime the UI appears normally, sometime it doesn't

I placed the study comp one is outside and one inside the house. Only the outside one is having this UI issue. ALTHOUGH the option-menu itself is functioning normally, meaning it's still interactable.

Hello @cunning fern thanks for the report. If the crash still persists, could you please also make a post about the crash in this channel: ⁠⁠https://discord.com/channels/623097219628662784/1105385747290280036 ?

This will help us speed up the process of checking your case.
Thank you so much for your help and patience!

And for the UI issue you mentioned, just to confirm — do you mean sometimes you get the full interaction options, but other times you only see one option when interacting with it?

[cunning fern]

Done

[cunning fern]

yes, for quest boards, mine ladder/rope, and architect desk. They were invisible the first time I interacting, press Esc and interact again, then the option appeared fully, and so on.
For the merchants, they remain invisible for the lower order option, tested for 3 days in game time still no change even restarted the game didn't help.

For the issue where some interaction options disappear, could you let us know how frequently it happens and, if possible, record a short video of it?

And regarding the shop issue—do you notice which specific shops are affected?
If you have any screenshots, that would be very helpful for the team.

UI Text Problem

[covert iris]

Hello again @cunning fern thanks for sharing the video! Super helpful.
Quick check: have you tried verifying your Steam files yet, and does the issue still happen afterward?
And just to double-confirm, are you using any mods or third-party tools?

Feel free to update us anytime—happy to help you troubleshoot this!

[cunning fern]

Hi, I just did verifying the files and it seems OK right? then played the game for a day (igt).
Carpenter, library, town boards and the lake temple menus worked pretty well consistently, everything else didn't. In the morning, I checked the sturdy computer menu by interacting five times in a row, it was normal, but when I checked it at night, it was buggy again.

I'm using these mods

[covert iris]

Hey! Thanks for confirming. Could you try removing the mod first and check if the issue still persists? Let us know how it goes!

[cunning fern]

Ok, I have removed them, and played two days game cycle.
Sturdy computer remains the same as I told before, only normal in the morning. Architect desk and Auto SFH were only good in the first day, and for the shops and town boards were let's say tolerable (first interaction was always be buggy then it was normal for the second, third and so on), except the lab still persists no matter how many times I test it.

And there is a good news, removing the mods make the game crash no more

[covert iris]

Thanks for the update! Glad to hear the crashes stopped after removing the mods.
We haven’t been able to reproduce the other issues on our end yet. If possible, could you try starting a new save without any mods and see if the issue still happens there?
This would really help us narrow things down.

[cunning fern]

Ok.
I've been playing this new save till day 10, and still no significant changes. Sometimes the options just don't fully show up at first.
Maybe this issue is only happening because my laptop is quite old.

Hey there, I'm also part of the team and I'm here to follow up on the issue. Would you mind sharing your device’s specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, HDD/SSD, etc.)? You can check how to do this here. Thanks a lot

[cunning fern]

alright . normally I get performance up to 20fps . It's quite OK for this old rig. And usually it drops when visiting mid forest and deep forest. But in under water is way more stable, I never get fps drop

[tight dune]

Thanks for providing us with some additional details! Could you also share your in-game graphics preset settings here?

[cunning fern]

sure

[tight dune]

Thank you for sending us your in-game graphics preset settings! Would you mind trying to lower all your settings to low to see if the issue still persists afterwards? Please let us know how it goes 🙇‍♂️

[cunning fern]

I've done a quick test with low settings, 10 attempts on each place:
Lab: 7/10 normal
Board: 5/10 normal
Carpenter: 9/10 normal

I tried to record the gameplay but the fps was so bad, and it heavily affected the UI menu. But without recording those are the results so far.
