Hi all.
I had the problem with the 'please select an item from the list' message. I did as @jobbysucks suggested, and I can now get to the faction selection screen.

However, when I choose my faction and click on the arrow to proceed, I get returned to the 'New Game' screen rather than into the campaign. I'm trying this on a brand new install of RTW and BI from the App Store.

Any suggestions at all?
Cheers.
