I just bought left 4 dead and runs great, but sometimes when I exit back to the main menu, the menu options aren't there?

Anyone Help

I get this error too, however it is most prominent in left for dead 2. Any fixes guys?

What OS are you using? What GPU and graphics drivers?

You're referring to the main menu of L4D, itself, right? (As opposed to Steam or the desktop environment.)

Do the game's video settings have any effect on this issue?

Linux Mint 10 x64
Nvidia 9600 GSO
Nvidia 174?/version current driver (from Additional drivers)

Yes, I am referring to the main menu of the game L4D/2 itself. It stops being displayed if you quit from a game back to the menu.

No, I do not think the video settings have any effect on this issue - at least, through my experience.

I used to have this issue long ago, but it went away. Not sure why. In any case, your nvidia driver is ancient (the current version is 260.19.21), though I have no idea if this causes the issue...

I wasn't sure if it is 174. I just questioned it because on the Additional drivers list there was Nvidia 173 and then Nvidia (current version). I, obviously, selected current version, but I don't know what 'current version' is in the LM Repos. :/ Do you know how I can find the driver version out?

-UPDATE- I went into Nvidia X Server Settings and found my driver version. I am using 260.19.06. Is there any point in upgrading it to 260.19.21?

I haven't played this game in a while, but when I did I had the same issue. I could usually fix it by bringing up the steam overlay (shift+Tab) and then exiting it. Bringing up the overlay brings the text back for some reason. Not a permanent fix, I know, but it's pretty painless.
