I set the game to use a joystick, but when I reach the main menu (AKA Sorcerer's chamber) the mouse does not work to select the game,and the joystick does not seem to work in the menu.How the hell, with Joystick enabled, do you get to the game?

Use your joystick to move the pointer and the Enter key to select things. Are you sure your joystick is calibrated properly?

I'm having the exact same issue. My joystick is calibrated correctly. I even do the in game calibration once you select joystick, but once I get to the menu, I can only go up and down. Then once I'm in game I can only look up and down with the joystick.
