I was able to fix the issue. Apparently, the game doesn't like to run at high resolutions. Steps that worked for me: I set my windows resolution down from 2560x1600 to 1920x1200 and relaunched the game. Game launched and was now visible, but was not entirely within the boundaries of the monitor. ALT-ENTER scaled the UI to fit within the monitor Go into graphic settings and change the game to use 1920x1200 resolution (it defaulted to windows max of 2560x1600) save settings and quit game Reset windows resolution to preference (I set it back to max of 2560x1600) relaunch game (it will now be in 1920x1200 and visible!) Woot.

I am having the exact same issue. Black screen, music playing, with a cursor (gloved hand). Core i7-3930k, 32GB RAM, NVidia GTX 970 (driver 24.21.13.9764), Dell U3011 @ 2560x1600
