Great news, thanks for hunting that down.

I'll give the next build a shot when posted.

I've got a rather significant photo/camping trip next week, so I need to get some time to test for stability before I head off the grid

Aha! Your last comment was the key. Wifi was on. As soon as I turned that off, menus came back.

Somehow through the course of reading the entire thread I must have missed that detail.

Thank you!

So, now that I've got it working...

Seeing something I don't remember from  the T3i build.

In focus peaking, there are marching ants at the top and bottom of the screen, as if it is doing detection on the screen edges. Also, the framerate seems much lower than I recall. Could these things be related?

Edit: I realized I'm using your preset with alpha blending instead of blinking dots. Don't know if the question is still relevant since the description notes that it lags.

To make sure I'm not making an ID10T error, when you say "Canon overlays are disabled" do you mean by way of using Info to switch them on/off, or is there a menu setting to completely disable them that I missed?

(But no, no warnings that I have seen as currently configured)

Hm. Interesting. Let me give that a go. I am also running 1.1.2 from the factory.

Thanks!

Edit: Unfortunately, no, that wasn't it.

Sorry, yes. Liveview with no overlays.

If I toggle through the various info modes, all the canon menus show as usual, and one blank screen, where I presume ML should appear.

Do I need to (ergh...) reset the camera settings to default and try that?

Thanks, I'm going to have to dig in on this more later, because I'm still not seeing menus with your settings.

This is a UHS card. Does that make a difference?

1%: Yup, global is turned on for all modes.

If you have a complete filesystem tree w/configs you want me to drop on and see if there's an issue with my install, I can give that a shot.

In the actual version, are those features working ?
-peaking (I read it flickers) - It flickered for one guy, doesn't flicker for me. Blinking dots is supposed to blink.
-magic zoom - Works, had problems going back and forth while we were killing canon dialogs for 2 versions.
-zebra - Never had a problem.
-HDR video - Extended with shutter + iso is broken by new menus on all cameras. Regular works fine.

Last time I checked (I don't have my T3i handy, it's with a friend right now), focus peaking with blinky dots worked.

The thing is, it DOES work for me, but not in a normal way.

Live view ML menus *only* show up if I am in the ML menu and hit the Live View button. (And then it is glitchy, jumping between the menu and live view periodically)

On the T3i, If I boot the camera and go into LV, the focus peaking still shows up if I had it enabled last time I turned on the camera. Edit: To clarify, the ML LV overlays in general only show up if I used the Erase button to bring up the configuration menu, and then hit LV from there. If I hit LV from normal shooting mode, ML is not enabled.

So, I'm trying to figure out if I'm using it wrong, if something has changed, or there's a bug.

I use LV for focusing with my Rokinon 35mm, and use the focus peaking overlay. On the T3i, once it is switched on, it is always there. With the 6D port, I only see it if I hit the LV button while in the ML menu. When I do that, it works, but flickers a lot between the menu and the LV.

What is the proper order of operations I should be using to make this work reliably? (I am on the Feb 16 build currently)

Thanks!

Did some testing tonight and was able to repeatedly hard lock the camera.

Did a remote shoot test using the 6D remote app.
Hit the Zoom button on the camera.
Hard lock.
Also, I *think* zooming using the app was causing the same issue.

Additional detail, I was using the ML extended bracketing functionality.

It seems to be extra twitchy if using WiFi. I got another lockup while taking a long sequence of HDR shots while trying to pull files via ShutterSnitch.

Edit:
Oh. I do have magic zoom enabled as well, as well as focus highlighting in live view.
