It's probably because you alt-tabbed out of the game on win8. An easy way to circumvent this is play in windowed mode. simply go into your settings in the launcher, choose windowed mode and pick a resolution that can fit. if you make your taskbar not come the front( a settings some where) then you can even make it as big as the fullscreen resolution. You can move the window by right clicking it and pressing move.

Use the workarounds provided, there is nothing we can do about it at the moment.
I never had an issue with it on my Win8 on 0.98. Just letting you know. I am experiencing it with the beta. Will try running in compatibility mode.
Just got this again on 1.0.19.0. I join the game and everything's showing and then I randomly get Alt-Tab'd without pushing those buttons and when I go back to the game the interface is missing and I can't spawn.
I can't figure out how to run it in windowed mode; i right-click the shortcut, go to properties, and select normal window and then it loads it in fullscreen anyway!! >
Just tried entering -w, -window, and -windowed to the shortcut properties and it comes up with this error:
