[Crash+Bug/Interface] v0.264 empty research screen and eventual crash to desktop

from Elemental Forums

I've been to busy to keep up with the Beta up until the holidays now, so my apologies if this is an issue that's already cropped up. However I loaded up the game again after installing the latest update, and I immediatly ran into two problems. Firstly, the research screen is entirely empty. After building a city I get the pop-up taking me to the research screen, however it is entirely empty. That is, no buttons, no information, nothing except some arrows that don't do anything.

However the research bar at the bottom of the map view still said I was researching, so I waited, pressed turn till civilization researched. I picked farming as my option then clicked "choose another goal", hoping that the research screen would appear now. Instead it was again empty. I tried pushing random buttons around the screen, and this eventually crashed/exited the program sending me back to desktop.

EDIT: Looking over the Debug.err I saw some mising graphics errors. Which made me think, could it be that my problem is that I missed/skipped one of the previous Beta Updates, and as a result didn't get the graphics/stuff for the research screen? Though then again part of the researching still works, so I'm stumped...

Hmmm, that might work. One sec I'll give it a try.

So bizarre. You seem to have the old version ofthe research screen. I'll ask the team if there's a way to forcably refresh the TextureAtlas (our generated UI files) to make sure it has the setup for the correct screen.
