I can't pinpoint exactly when this started but I think it was around when the arty update was released. When I launch the game now one of three things happen.
- The game launches and I am able to move my cursor around on the CG logo screen, this is the only scenario where the game loads in.
- The game launches and I am unable to move my cursor on the CG logo screen. In this case I cannot alt-tab or alt f4. When the game crashes after about 30 seconds I am unable to see my mouse on my main monitor (where I have the game in full screen normally), I have to alt-tab to get to task manager which I have to have open. The music continues to play until the game crashes.
- The game launches but the CG logo screen doesn't show up. Instead the screen goes black and the music continues to play. I cannot alt-tab or alt f4. I have to wait for the game to crash and repeat the steps listed in scenario 2.
Is anyone else having these issues? It's making the game really frustrating as it usually takes me about 5 minutes to get into the game as the 1st scenario only happens about 1/5 times and has never happened to me on my first try.
Sorry about the rant.
