Sometimes the game's menu stops responding, doesn't see saved games, gives "There are no maps currently available" error, shows visual glitches on character creation screen. This may happen regardless of how many times the game ran correctly. Installing the game in the default directory and turning off gameplay-tracking programs (ex. X-Fire, Raptr, Steam) may fix these issues.
