No Menus or Popups appearing?

[Khenti-kheti]

So when I run the game, no words show up at all. No subtitles, no health bar, no popups telling me the controls. When I press esc there's no menu - no save option, no exit option, no settings option, nothing. It makes the cutscenes a little awkward as well because they'll be pauses in the dialogue that I bet are where explanations for the controls would be popping up. Has anyone else got this bug and knows how to fix it?

[Jordey]

I have the same bug, but honestly i have no clue, how to fix it.

I'm having the same issues in both 1 and 2 unfortunately. Hopefully someone explains how to fix the issue.

Also having the same problem.

Switching from integrated graphics card to nvidia helped me.

Mine won't let me:
I get in the bloodrayne setup options all the usual suspects including "3D card" which is set to Intel(R) Iris(R) XE Graphics, but when I try to change it nothing happens. I can change any of the other options, but that one's stuck for some reason. This computer does have an Nvidia card which I should be able to use, but I can't select it.

Figured out how to force it and it worked.
Windows settings -> System -> Display -> Graphics
Add rayne1.exe to the list of apps.
Default path is C:\Steam\steamapps\common\BloodRayne Terminal Cut\rayne1.exe
Select options on it once added and choose NVidia graphics card (default is "let windows decide")
Then when I then loaded up the game the 3D Card was on Nvidia and all the menu options were back

Hello,
I am having the same issue and I have the Iris Xe Graphics. I tried to change it but nothing has improved for me. Is there any way to still play this game without Nvidia?

I would say Try the "guide" section. (to you and the others that made the similar comment, I'm just "quoting" you but it applies for everyone else as well) if the above method doesn't work for you, I"m pretty sure the guide section has some similar stuff on this matter (it's been a while myself, since i've been in that section, so I could be wrong) .

BUT "I" myself have been given another method (than the one mentioned above) and it's what worked for me (as well as others) so maybe this will work for you guys as well.

I DO NOT TAKE any credit for this post, as this was a post made from another user, he helped me out and i'm just spreading his message to others, because maybe it will help you the same way it helped me.

"@bond Hello. If you have a laptop, then go to the video card settings and select launch from a discrete video card (high performance). it helped me."

That method worked for me. hopefully it helps others out <3

ALSO, I wanted to add THIS "guide" it's from another game but it "somewhat" does a similar issue and THIS METHOD fixed this game (mentioned) but this method HAS also helped people fix the issue with Bloodrayne as well.

it requires a little more work and downloading a program but if anyone cares to try this method out, I will provide the link to the guide here as well (it's on steam, so no external sites etc.)

since there is no "official" fix for this and the devs haven't came forth with any updates or "official" word as to why this is happening (especially on the terminal cuts, games that were "RE-MASTERED" to work on newer PC's etc.) there is no real "official" or "one way/method" fix.

sadly a bunch of people have had this issue, everyone obv has different rigs and so the "solution" has also been different for everyone.

it sucks but it's sadly just what we've been having to do. so hopefully the above methods help people get this lovely game up and running or this guide will help you.

the guide was originally made for the "eXceed" games one issue ALL 3 OF THOSE GAMES faced on modern PC's (not always) was you would have these black boxes around all the sprites (making the game pretty much unplayable). i'm not a game dev, idk the science behind it all, but it all just seems pretty similar.

with bloodrayne the "static" text stuff seems to have issues appearing (health bars, menu text, just text i general) but the game plays just fine and with the "eXceed" games it was like the opposite of that, your "static" stuff would "appear" but there would be black boxes around all your "static" sprites, texts etc. and the game wouldn't be playable lol

so, i couldn't tell you what's going on. it def has something to do with whatever these games use though got the "text" stuff and then just i guess how integrated graphics cards read that information? (as this issue seems to be more common with people who have laptops and/or integrated graphics card) and process it back to us etc.? again, no idea, just a thought as to what's causing this issue (because the more "we" know, aka can find the SOURCE of the problem, the easier it will be to find a "one solution" method to resolve the source of that said problem).

as of now, no "real" solution so please try all above methods, hopefully they work for you and help you out and please let us know. atm it's pretty much been the community helping the community and just as i said, with this issue, it seems like a bunch of different users are getting it, with different methods to fix it. so just try as many as you can and hopefully one will eventually work.

if you stumble on across something else that hasn't been mentioned (and it gets your game running) again, please share with the community, as other are having this same issue and we're really just trying to help one another out with as many methods possible that can get the game back up and running again for people. <3
