Lost in-game controls/menus

[JustHere4Coffee]

Hi, after the latest patch I've lost access to the in-game controls. I picked all my weeds, then selected a plant but the water bottle didn't appear. Then when I clicked away from that plant (outside the pot) the little onscreen doohickey that allows you to access the shop or redesign your pot, the anchor spot never re-appeared. I have deleted the game from my library and re-installed it to no effect - I hope I don't have to delete my whole garden! Any suggestions?

Same thing happened to me. My plants are in dire need of watering...

Same thing here.

Same. And my pot is gone

I'm so stressed out! This has happened to me too and I don't want to lose my plants because I have spent money on this game!

Try resizing the window to be very small, and then close the app + steam. Re open Viridi. Hopefully it will load up as the same small-sized window, and the controls will magically be there! That's what worked for me.

Awesome! Thanks, Brooke; I'd resized the window a little before but to no effect. This time I resized it so small the game crashed, and when I relaunched it was barely bigger than the Steam overlay notification pop-up. Dragged to make it big enough to interact with, and behold, the controls were back!

It's not a perfect fix though, nor necessarily permanent. Looks like I got lucky the first time, as the button keeps disappearing and resizing is really screwing with the visuals - it looks like there's some serious texture mapping issues behind this.

Yeah it's certainly not a long-term solution, but at least it will help us to keep our plants alive until they fix the issue! Very glad that I was able to help. :)

For now I've just gone into Vacation mode. Sucks, but it sucks less than watching my plants die.

Thank you soooooo much. My succulents (and snail) were dying because I couldn't do anything but play music.

Try hold Left ALT & press Enter.

Thanks, it works.!
