This must be one of the strangest issues i have ever heard described. What configuration are you running this on? How much RAM do you have, and what video card? Do you have the latest video drivers installed? Just for the kick, try running the BFP_hi_perf_*.bat file instead of BFP.exe. That switches rendering to use the mobile Godot engine, and is lighter on resources.
I honestly do not know what to say otherwise. It feels like you got parts of the interface missing. Yes, between the characters on the Stage (arena) selection screen there should be a table of arena names, which you would normally click. The background should also reflect the arena you have selected. If you click blindly between the two characters, then click Fight, are you able to get in another arena? Also, are you by any chance running the game on a right-to-left language setting? (although the symptoms don't match anything anyone has ever brought up)
>This must be one of the strangest issues i have ever heard described.
T_T Immm SORRRYYYYY. Is this what that one patient feels like when the doctor says he can name his own special case of disease?
RAM is 4.00 GB, video card is a NVIDIA GeForce 610M (2GB).
I think I do have the latest video drivers installed...? Admittedly I don't know what that is exactly. Do you mean Processor? Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz .
I hope that helped. As for running the other one: Just tried it. Exact same result.
Blindly clicking the selection screen for arena didn't work, implying that the parts aren't hidden, but indeed actually missing. And at no time did the background at the selection screen turn into anything different, the same darkish grey.
> a right-to-left language setting?
Can't find it in Options. Where is that and what even is it? Like just any western language? Like English? Yeah, the words go from left to right. You the:
(characters)(stats)(customization)(model).
I'm sorry for giving you trouble man :(
Ah, that sounds like it probably is the issue. RAM is very low (my recommendation would be at least 8GB, just in case), and the video card is very very old. I'm actually surprised you managed to get the game to run at all. If running BFP_hi_perf_*.bat file instead of BFP.exe doesn't inprove things, then probably nothing will. It's likely the card doesn't fully support vulkan, which Godot and the game use for rendering.
The language setting was referring to Windows, not the game. You can safely ignore that, we gave established the issue.
And lol, you're not giving me any trouble. Tbh I suspected older hardware might be the culprit here. As I said, I'm quite surprised you got the game running. :) But nice
Damn. Also, the other reply you gave: I'll try to limit the amount of blabber. I really hope I didn't came across as demanding or whiny, it wasn't my intention man.
Either way, you're chill as hell even with the bs going on. I really wish I was in a position to do the Patreon, cuz I can't really afford to buy a newer, better engine.
But in any case, I'm still enjoying the game for what it is! I'll drop the bombardement of suggestions too then.
I wish you a good night!
