I have the same problem -- the custom cursors for the game do not appear on the screen. By pushing the mouse back and forth, I can blindly highlight Options, and there again disable the custom cursor. That fixes the problem, but the game does not retain that setting between sessions, so I have to repeat it for each session. It takes about 10 minutes of pushing the mouse around to reach the setting (because I cannot see any cursor, so I don't know where the setting is). Would be very helpful if the game stored the users options between settings, or if there was a keyboard shortcut to turn off the custom cursor settings. Of course it would be even better if the custom cursors worked. Please advise if there is a better solution.
