Black screen after splash screens

The first time I run the game, when I have'nt played for hours, I get a black screen instead of menus after the splash screens. The music play fine and I can quit if I click the X to close the application and then hit escape. I then restart the game and it works fine.

It looks to me like I need to cache something for it to work or the game check something (updates maybe) and it hang the game.

I play in windowed mode and I'm fully up to date.

Any ideas?
