I'm getting a similar issue where when trying to open the game on a fresh download the title screen is just a blue screen with the cursor visible.
I'm on windows 10
Latest update got me past the title screen. The new game button and continue button both start a fresh game but what I'm assuming to be the sound of text on the intro cut-scene does not show any text, just the scrolling banner.
Also the other menu buttons (options, extra, exit) do not have a function when clicked.
