I've had the steam version for a few days, played a bit, left it and came back today. Launched the program fine. No music on entry. Beeping noises for mouse-over of the game sections but no response to clicking. No access or response at all to any of the menu options below the game sections.
Validated the game files. No response.
Restarted the computer. No response.
Do I really need to uninstall and reinstall? Is this a known issue and if so, is there a workaround?
This is not something we've heard of, and I'd think that usually a restart should fix it. What you can do is check if you have some 3rd party Anti-virus program that might be blocking the game.
