Mine does the same thing, the drop down menu starts to load then disappears. Its a really useful feature, hope there is a way to bring it back.Really would like a drop down menu. I see it start to load as teh game loads but it isn't on the screen when the game finishes loading the Esc key does bring up a side bar but doesn't seem to have all of the things on the normal drop down. Anyone figure out how to get it back? Would like to use it to change some settings.
