Problems with avatar customization

[Hypsicratea]

I've installed the Deep Island Shard and created a new character, but when the game launches to the avatar customization screen, the right half of what should be the customization screen is missing, I am unable to select any section of the body, and clicking around makes the character move as if I were in an age, thus I am unable to actually play the game.

It seems it was an issue with updating all ages on launch. I deleted the install, reinstalled, then unchecked that option, so it would update when joining an age, and it is now working as it should.

Edit: Nevermind, issue is back again, ran into it after running into another problem where I couldn't get the menu buttons to show up in the bottom right, tried creating a new character to see if it that would fix it, but the initial issue is back.

Edit #2: It turns out, the real issue was using Creative ALchemy to enable hardware accelerated EAX sound. Disabling it fixed everything. Very strange.
