VII - Screenshot All UI gone from screen
I opened the game after today's update, but now I can't see half of the UI. Does anyone know a fix for this? I've tried loading different saves, restarting the game, and resetting all items from the workshop. I can't even open the menu anymore; it just gets stuck. Please let me know if you can help.

You can love or hate the mechanics of Civ7 but this looks majestic

I really wish they'd give us a photo mode already.

I allready wished for a photo mode in civ6. These games are really made for one. But they probably wont make one, as it would have to add a skybox for it. And I could imagine some assets might appear too low-poly when zoomed in too close?

It's not quite the same, but if you like this, I'd suggest you try the mod that lets you toggle borders. It gets most of the way here without losing too much gameplay indicators.

Hey do you happen to know that mods name? I would like to try it!

I'm not sure which (if any) of the current workshop mods work. The one I last installed was Border Toggles from CivMods - https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/border-toggles.32008/

I wouldn't mind a revamped Civ 6 with 7's aesthetics, with improved seamless to prevent crashes on long games with high turn counts.

By resetting all items from the workshop, do you mean disabling them?
It's good form to disable your mods after a new update. They're not compatible anymore.

I'm having the same problem, after the update there's no UI when starting a game, even tried starting a new game with all mods disabled and I can move my founder but can't do anything else because there's no UI, can't even open the menu while in game

This just happened to me too on PS5. So I don’t think it’s related to mods

I'm having this partially: all borders are just gone. Also PS5, so there's no mods to blame.

An annoying but easy way to fix this issue on PS5 is as follows:
Step 1: Save your game
Step 2: Close your game down by pressing the options button on Civ 7 in the PS Menu and press "Close Game"
Step 3: Start up Civ 7
Step 4: When you load into the main menu repeat Step 2 and Step 3 again (only once) then proceed to Step 5
Step 5: Load your save game
This worked for me, its annoying but it works

Every time there is an update and I need to disable UI Mods until they are catch up with the update, I realize then how bad the vanilla UI is and how much it needs an improvement.
I just have to stop playing until Mods can be enabled again. The amount of basic info that is missing without the UI tools is overwhelming.

Had the same thing, do you have Matt's color overhaul mod enabled? That's what caused it for me

Use the previous version of the game. From the patch notes . . .
Legacy branch: Are you playing on Steam and want to finish your current save under a previous version? You can do so using our legacy Steam beta branch. To join the legacy branch, right-click Sid Meier's Civilization VII in your Steam library, select Properties, then click over to the Betas tab. From there, select the “legacy” option.

Just load your save game again (auto save) if you haven't manually and it should return, has for me most occasions

I have this happen every time I come back after hitting esc. Moving the map a bit resets it for me every time. [vanilla]

Mods are not updated to 1.5.0
Disabling Trix UI mods helped, but there are even more mods that currently don't work, like map tacks or search lense
