No unit tiles (UI bug)

Recently purchased the game and by the third level I was confused as to when the tutorial would allow me to see the unit card UI. A bit of googling and I realized it was supposed to be on the bottom right of the screen. 

I did also instantly notice the laggy pointer when I started the screen, but I went with hardware pointer before even starting the first mission. 

I have tried all of the fixes here: https://brightrockgames.userecho.com/forums/2-war-for-the-overworld-knowledge-base/topics/1096-missing-invisible-or-laggy-ui/

No luck. 

I have also tried some different UI scales recommended by Noontide on this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/230190/discussions/0/1620599015887253031/
