Tooltips not showing
So all of a sudden my tooltips are no longer showing anymore. I can't see what the options are for the ministers, I can't see the recommended amount of money to spend on a social program, I can't see the troops in a hex, nothing. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled the game and I still have the issue. I deleted all the save games, I reset the options, and I verified game files on steam. Nothing. What is going on?

Re: Tooltips not showing
No idea, we've had no reports of anything like this. Anyone else run into this problem?

I don't think this has anything to do with the Steam version. He didn't say which version he had. And we've been updating 2020, not CW.

Re: Tooltips not showing
Running 7.3.7. Problem seems to have started when I did the following: I downloaded and installed Fistalis' Satellite mod to add the 2020 satellites to CW. Then when a friend and I wanted to play a multiplayer game he couldn't connect to me so I thought it might be the mod and just had steam reverify the files to uninstall the mod. (BTW didn't solve the connection problem, but I was able to connect to him so no problem.) But when we started the game I noticed I had no tooltips then. After we got done I figured a simple restart of the game would fix it. No. That's when I did the uninstall/reinstall, etc. I posted above.

Re: Tooltips not showing
Find your savegame folder and go up one level. There should be a an Options.ini file. Mine is in \Documents\My Games\Supreme Ruler Cold War. Delete that file and restart the game. Let me know if that fixes it.

Re: Tooltips not showing
I'm afraid it did not help. Interesting note thought: On the State Department tab the population menu will pop up when you hover over the people icon and I can get the approval ratings tooltip to pop up when I hover over the icons, but they flicker.

Re: Tooltips not showing
I took some initiative and deleted the HAPs folder and then reacquired it through Steam. No fix. Also tried using the hardware cursor and didn't help either.

Re: Tooltips not showing
If Reacquiring the HAPS folder didn't fix it then It's not mod related. (btw the Sats mod isn't compatible with 7.3.7 I haven't updated it in ages, also for future reference my mods won't effect multiplayer connections)MikeKoder wrote:I took some initiative and deleted the HAPs folder and then reacquired it through Steam.

Did you try a full uninstall/reinstall through steam yet? Or deleting the options.ini as balt suggested?

Re: Tooltips not showing
Don't just uninstall, completely delete the folders (Program Filesx86 AND the one in your user folder) and then reinstall. I think you have a lingering file which isn't being cleaned up by the uninstaller.
