The mouse sprite/pointer does not show up anymore in the menu screens or in the game. I haven't changed anything, just updated to latest version. If I wiggle the mouse around I can get the highlight to show on menu items, but its very difficult to navigate without the sprite/pointer. Also, the Galactic War screen has always been blank for me.
Do you happen to have Windows Vista? If so, try switching between windowed and full-screen using <Alt>+<Enter>. A blank GW screen is odd though. It really no different from the other screens. Could you try pressing [VERIFY] a few times in the UberLauncher. Or if you use Steam, verifying the integrity of the game cache?
I have windows 8.1 x64. I turned off "display pointer trails", "hide pointer while typing", and "show location of pointer when I hit the CTRL key"; and the invisible mouse sprite/pointer problem is resolved. I turned the hide pointer and show location back on and its still resolved. It seems mouse pointer trails breaks the in game sprite. Still no Galactic War screen.
Ah nice find about the pointer trails. Which Galactic War screen do you mean by the way? The one you get after pressing Single Player -> Galactic War? Or the system overview you get after starting a new war?
