Q: Game in the main menu asks to press the left mouse button, but does not react to the actual button press.

A1: Follow the prompts on the screen, click <ENTER> - this disables support for a 2 or more mouse. Then restart the game (to support multiple mice could be re-activated in the main menu).
A2: Perhaps the game blocked by software from the mouse manufacturer installed on your computer. To solve the problem, uninstall the software, or temporarily disable it, if possible.
A3: Another source of this problem can be a graphics tablet (digitizer) or some "exotic" input connected to your PC, which perceives the game as a mouse. In this case, disconnect the computer from such devices and reboot.
