Hi guys,
I have the same (or a very similar) issue but have managed to work around it. When the game starts and the screen goes black, hitting cmd+F repeatedly occassionally makes the menu appear for a very short moment before it disappears again. It seems you can still click the buttons by repeatedly alternating between cmd+F and clicking the button area. If you can make it into Options through the flickering menu, click the Resolution drop-down, select a lower resolution, and untick Fullscreen (if it's ticked). Then press escape. A prompt should appear the apply the change, and doing so will create a fully working display window.
