This may be a problem with the 595.x nvidia driver. I have the same problem on Gentoo with the 595 driver, but it works correctly on Arch with nvidia-580xx-dkms
Thanks for the report. I've filed NVIDIA internal bug 6313986 to track the investigation of this issue.
Nothing extracted yet.

Symptoms
The game passes the initial loading screen and then the graphics completely freeze. With postprocessing enabled, the image freezes on a correctly-rendered image. With postprocessing disabled, it freezes on a glitched/partially rendered view.
Input is still being processed. The exit button works as expected. The other buttons seem to start their UI flows (invisible to the user), and hitting escape a few times brings it back to the main menu where the exit button works again.
Reproduction
Start the game.
Observe the video doesn't update after the main menu is displayed.
