I even altered my decimal separator to period in regional settings, just to make sure the still-missing menus are not also related to this. But nope, still all blank. What changed since the patch is, I can interact with Sicilus now, buttons on this tab are on the right place and my inventory got no black background anymore.
What is persisting is a) a big “Metris” written over my character tab and b) like OP mentioned, no menus whatsoever in the general, graphics, audio etc. section.
EDIT: Menu options are actually there, didn’t get what Shiki meant but only saw it now, options are scattered over meters, showing way way down the tab with lots blank lines in between… once I get the little scroll bar to attach to my finger I can slowly access it but it is major fiddling.
Here is also a picture of the You are dead window - which is especially painful because I got no clue how to handle the scroll-bar it doesn’t really react well to pointing, clicking or grabbing gestures. After a minute of fiddling it finally jumps to the very bottom where the reawaken is located. Before I found that the scrollbar isn’t completely broke, the only option to play on was to delete my character.
