I compiled a new mod and hadn't put it on the steam workshop yet so I left the PublishedFileId.txt file empty. After some trial and error I discovered this was the cause of the game misbehaving. With that file empty in a mod in the Mods folder, the game launches to the loading screen, with the [...] visible for a few moments, then it changes to a black screen with the mouse cursor and stays that way until the game is closed. Deleting the file resolves the problem.
