I have the same problem.
I just installed the game, updated to 1.3, and when I run the game I can't see anything in the menus.
I checked configuration, and procedure and user are already set to "procedural".
My system:
Asus A8N5X
Opteron 170 dual core CPU
2GB RAM
EVGA 7900GS KO graphics
This game never ran quite right on my old system, but it was playable at least, but on this newer system I can't get past the menus.
