I did the same (IE then base game install) and have the same issues. 

Any idea when a fix will be out?

VER 2.2.503157

First screen capture shows missing (hidden) icons for the ship actions.

Second capture shows the black on black or missing text in ver 2.2.

I did a full remove of the insiders edition and a fresh install of GC4SN 'safe' version.

So for fun, I tried playing a default Terran Alliance no changes. Every thing seemed ok!?!

I rebooted and tried default Terrans again and still ok. Then I tried a custom civ and the issue with text and ship icons came back.

So at this point the issue seems related to using a custom civ. 

Perrya555 could you try using the default Terran Alliance and see if you still have the issue with them? Are you using a custom civ or modified base civ?

No idea, I was hoping someone else could reproduce the issue.

I'm going to delete the civ(s) and recreate under 2.2.

Unless it was made under base super nova game (1.2 I think), then when I removed all the gc4 (base, SN insider and SN base), and reinstalled only SN safe/base version of 2.2.5 it was downloaded on sync with EPIC. 

My suggestion would be to check out your custom civ and try setting its colors there?

I deleted all the custom civs and created a new one under 2.2.

It seems to be working fine after a short check. I used Terran color schemes and ships.

OK, now to actually play a game with the new 2x goodies . 

Thank you so much for your help!
