On my Gameplay screen I have a few things that should be Initialized first but I can't initialize them by using the Initialize() method like I did before I merged the project with my game. Do I have to add my initialization method somewhere else? maybe the gamescreen or screen manager? Thanks Hello,

However i have been adding in code for the gameplay from another project. After adding in everything and changing a few variables, it compiles and runs but it doesnt draw anything except the text?

I still couldn't figure out the texture problem. I use to save the state by calling “spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteBlendMode.AlphaBlend, SpriteSortMode.Deferred, SaveStateMode.SaveState);” in my draw method but now it doesn't work and whenever I enter the game or press 'ESC' to open the option menu, it messes up my textures and I got weird vertical lines instead of textures. I tried to do the same thing with ScreenManager.SpriteBatch in my gameplayScreen but it didn't work. any idea? Thanks a lot, that worked. I still couldn’t figure out the texture problem.

Set the DepthEnable to be true in the Device.RenderState. Check this out, this is the RenderState I am talking about: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xna.framework.graphics.renderstate.depthbufferenable.aspx Set that to true and you'll be fine.

When I enter my game (it's a 3D game) I got a problem with the model and their drawings and 2D spriteBatches. All the textures are messed up and seems no depth test is done and I can see throu walls. I used to solve this problem in my old code by adding the following line to the draw method where I drew the spritebatches and save the states: "priteBatch.Begin(SpriteBlendMode.AlphaBlend, SpriteSortMode.Deferred, SaveStateMode.SaveState);" any idea how I can fix that one for this? tnx Hey Nazeeh,

I manage to solve the graphic problem and I dont get the null object reference but I'm still stuck on the content. I tried the ScreenManager.content but it said sth like "the ScreenManager.content is inaccessible due to its protection level"... any idea? tnx in advance hey Nazeeh,

I was wondering If you could solve your problem? If yes, I would be really greatful if you could gimme a hint. I'm desperate thanks @Dave
