Hey super stoked to get a chance to play the beta today, I'm on windows 8.1 and I can't see any of the text for buttons in game they just show up as blue rectangles. I've been able to kind of stumble my way through but its basically unplayable without knowing what anything I click on does.

 

Cheers!

That has happened to many.
It is because the Radeon video card is not recognized correctly.
What I did was go to power saving in swithable graphix so I used my Intel HD 4000.

I have this issue from the beginning. It's frustrating it has not been addressed yet, but more frustrating not having developers feedback. I've opened a ticket on 27 March about this issue. I was asked to send a log file generated by the "SD Support Tool", which I did, but no reply since then. So, anyone has any news about this problem?

I solved mine by upgrading to the latest video drivers... thought they were set to auto update, guess not. Game works now, (if not flawlessly)
