    Hi guys.

    I'm playing this game on my Debian through Steam.
    When I am playing single player, sometimes the 'start annihilation' button does not appear at the begin of the match. In fact, the complete HUD is gone. I tried ctrl+u, becease this should toggle it, but this does not fix the problem.

    I have a screenshot of what my game looks like when I start it. Any tips?
    Note: In this screenshot, the bar at the top is visible, but this is not always the case.

    F5 seems to refresh some parts of the game, but it doesn't bring back the HUD. Furthermore, the game allows me to only press it once or twice. Then it won't respond to the F5 key presses anymore.

    Use --software-ui as launch option or try to restart the game and reconnect.

    Adding the launch parameter swaps this issue with another:
    The HUD works, but after the round is finished I get a black screen.

    Restarting the game does not make a difference.

    Same here, but better than not being able to choose a start location.

    Where can I file a bug report for this?

    You can get rid of the black screen by resizing the window by the way. It still is annoying, but less so that quitting and restarting.

    edit: Oh, that info is also in the bug report. Oh well, now it's here too. :)
