Bug Description
UI elements in menu and HUD in campaign missions aren't visible on the Steam Deck in both desktop and gaming mode even when enabling Zink as shown in the screenshot below (Windows version not affected by this issue):
Expected Behavior

xemu Version
0.7.104
System Information
Regular Steam Deck OS: SteamOS 3.4.8 AMD APU CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.0-1.6GHz APU power: 4-15W RAM: 16GB LPDDR5 on-board RAM Storage: 256 GB NVMe SSD PCIe Gen 3 x4
Additional Context
Only the Steam Deck is affected by this, on a PC, this issue doesn't show up.
this game might have some issues related with AMD GPUs, i cannot replicate this on a NVIDIA gpu. Some issues were also encountered on mesa drivers with intel iGPU
Try using zink as your opengl driver instead of radeonsi. xemu and radeonsi have some interesting issues on the Steam Deck's chipset that can typically be resolved by using zink instead, and usually there's no noticeable perf loss.
For launch options in the Steam entry for the game if you added through Steam ROM Manager
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=mesa MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink GALLIUM_DRIVER=zink %command%

The first test was made both with and without Zink enabled.
Had this issue till I switched the renderer from OpenGL to Vulkan, now works perfectly bar the green running along the left and top edge of the screen when goggles are off.
