There will be another patch, about the same time as the release of FoV and DKS (no release dates announced yet, but last we heard mid October is the target time frame).
This is the first I've seen mention of having to force a refresh to get the main menu to appear.
Did you try disabling desktop composition in the compatibility tab of the executable or shortcut?
Maybe try different graphics options, resolutions, or set the game resolution and your desktop resolution to be the same, if you haven't done so already...
It would be nice to be able to skip videos and cutscenes in general. With the PC version you should be able to rename the intro video to get the game to skip it. With the Xbox version, once the Larian logo is shown and the DTP one comes up you can hit the start button to skip the rest of the intro.
Welcome to the forum.
