So, I loaded a few mods and bought the Honest HEarts and Old World Blues DLCs. At first, there were no problems.

Then I started it up to play it and after the first three screens where the names of the developper and publishers are shown and then a old style TV Stand By screen is shown, you get to the menu.

At this point, no manu options are showing and the mouse cursor is not visible so I can’t play it. I’ve tried to find answers on Google but to no avail. Does anyone have an idea?
