I got a new laptop (ASUS Zenbook 14) and downloaded D4 on it from Humble Bundle. At first, it wouldn’t even launch. I had to download Windows Redistributable x86. I thought everything was finally taken care of until I started a new game and ran into this…
No, I do not the UI display set to dark mode, but this is what happens anytime I bring my mouse up to the top menu in the game. I have the debug notes below. Hoping someone can help!
