Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
This started in December a few weeks after I installed BTA. I would start the game but after the HBS, Paradox, and Unity splash screens there would just be a black screen and mouse icon. I figured it was BTA and took a break from it. Tonight I uninstalled the game, deleted the BTA files left behind, and reinstalled the game again and the same thing is happening. I can't even get the base game to play. Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it? Note, I can move the mouse and tab to another program. I just can't get to the opening video or menu.
