Often, when I load a saved game it will be missing letter's/numbers while playing the game. Example, GNN news reports a fighter built it will look something like so... (Underscore to represent the blank portion I see)
F_ght_r Gnat Bu_lt on Altar_a
It is always consistant missing the same letters/numbers through out. Which makes the spending slider's a pain to use. If it isn't showing 5 that day, anything that is 50-59% will look like _0-_9%.
Anyhow, here is the debug... (And yes, Video drivers updated yesterday)
