None of the recent patches since the big one have resolved the issue for me;
- Custom game (vs. CPUs) started AFTER the patches
- Save game
- Exit game
- Load save game (from Single Player button)
This fails. Game returns to menu, gets laggy and mouse pointer disappears.
If you’ve had this, try the following … it works for me!
Instead of hitting Single player button and loading your game.
- select Campaign button
- hit the directory button at the bottom
- load save game from there.
I’ve done this many times now, and works all the time.
Hope it helps.
