A good way for users to post their system specs is to go to Steam-Help-System Information.

I just wanted to make a quick update to let everyone know that we are aware of this issue and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible so that you can start playing Daylight. We will update as soon as we have a resolution. We appreciate your patience.

To that note, while this issue seems to be affecting a good amount of you on Steam, it is something we have not seen before in-house and are doing our best to provide a fix for you right away. Any useful information you can give would be very helpful to us. We are specifically looking for graphics card information and if you have an integrated graphics card.

Such a question, you have the problem with running the game on video cards AMD 7850-70 level, permanently white screen. This problem you also know?

All I get is a white screen when I launch the game. Error might be related to the directX error but not sure. Is there any sort of error log I can use when launching this game so I can give you guys a more detailed view of this problem?

Alright so, apperently this game can't launch when some applications are active in the background of your computer. In my case, where I got a white screen. All I had to do was close teamviewer :) There might be similar programs like recording programs that cause this issue as well.
