IW5 - Cannot select anything from main menu. Mouse stuck as blue circle.
-
Fresh install of IW5 via steam dedicated server and plutonium launcher. I can load up the game, however, I become stuck on the main menu with my mouse stuck as the loading blue circle.
- I can access the cmd line.
- I can hit escape and successfully quit the application.
- Deleting the plutonium appdata folder and re-downloading client files did not resolve the issue. (Idea taken from this forum post: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/10656/stuck-on-main-menu-cannot-select-anything)
- If I spam the middle mouse trackpad button I can see the MW3 cursor lurking underneath, but the menu is still inaccessible.
I've attached files of the main menu and my mw3 root dir, below.
I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hi, I had this same issue.
I got my menu to work by using 'vid_restart' in console.
