I'm currently having an issue with my Xna Game 1 Class. I've incorporated a 2D camera with it's own separate class, which is called for the usage of the matrix. the problem I'm having is in the draw method, to the point of which I use the : `spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteSortMode.BackToFront, BlendState.AlphaBlend, null, null, null, null, camera.TransformMatrix);
The problem occurs after it as the case methods change what is drawn, for example the Case Main menu and playing don't seem to be reached, or quite frankly drawn to the screen.I've tried to put an individual SpriteBatch.Begin method in each case, consequently, ending each method in the case itself with spriteBatch.end().
I've also tried, not calling the translateCamera class in the update method, but that was also to no avail.
Any Help would be much appreciated!
