I stopped playing Simpleplanes a year or two ago due to a bug in the plane builder screen where whenever I would mouse over a button (any button) the button would vanish. I could still click the buttons (most of them, anyway) but they just weren't being rendered for some reason. It was/is really annoying. I went to reopen the game today figuring that "surely that bug must be fixed by now", but nope, it's still there.
I have disabled all mods, restarted my computer many times over the last 2 years, and a bunch of other things, all to no avail. Does anyone have a solution for this, please? My computer specs and info are below.
Thanks in advance
I'm using version 1.10.106.0 of the game.
I have steam set to auto update it, so I believe this should be the most recent version.

THE UNDO BUTTON
Maybe just make sure it's the latest update, maybe steam didn't do what it was supposed to.
I would unfortunately have to say you may need to reinstall the game. It seems like a download issue. I’ve never stumbled across this bug before but that’s all I can suggest. I hope it’s fixed soon for you.

Edit: nevermind I just saw that you said you did. Hopefully they’ll fix it.
Ok that's hella weird
I've played on all platforms on 6 different devices and haven't come across that issue before :(
One thing I do get though is the buttons disappearing in the control configurator when I click them. Like, this exact bug, but only there.
I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game (which im shocked I didn't think to try earlier, or maybe I did try it and just forgot) but that didn't fix it. Also, some clarification:
When I mouse over a button in the editor, the icon (and/or text) on the button disappears, but when I click the button, the whole button actually disappears.
As somebody who uses the Unity engine on almost a daily basis, this sounds to me like it might be a null reference error. It sounds like some internal code may be trying to access the variations of the button sprite (like a mouse-over variation and/or a button clicked variation) and be unable to find them or possibly have a incorrect/invalid sprite assigned to those Image class variables.
That is just my speculation based on my experience but, without seeing the internal code itself (which I probably won't be able to do for legal reasons) I can't speculate any more than that.
