Linux PopOs Main Menu Black Screen

Does anyone know how to fix this? When I start the game it shows all the logos and stuff, but then it goes blank. I can hear main menu music, but nothing else.

But...Given it doesn't sound like you've put some hours into the game already & If you want the game to maybe work & you can live without FSR...

You can try deleting profile.bin per the last post in this thread (ignore the actual post, just delete or rename that file):

You probably want to turn off cloud save for the game in Steam settings first & delete any saves/save folders in that folder as well for good measure. If you manage to get the game running, start a new save, play for a bit until it autosaves/end of episode/whatever, then turn cloud save back on if you normally have it on.

But yeah, if you do get it working, maybe steer clear of using FSR until it's confirmed as fixed/working/whatever.

Edit to add - That file for me is located in .steam/steam/userdata/xxxxxxxx/3017860/remote

Sorry, got the game ID wrong, fixed.

Need more details...GPU, driver...Have you gotten it to run at any stage & changed any of the graphics settings ?

Working fine for me with Ubuntu sans framegen which is busted for Lee-nucks/Nvidia at the moment, or so it seems...

Okay. I gave reference AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, don't know which driver, I'm not near my pc. I've gotten it to main menu at first launch. Changed a few video settings, I think I turned on fsr and buncha fsr related things. Then it crashed and ever since I have blank screen on main menu. Haven't even been in game.

I think if I were able to restore to default settings it could work just fine.

It's FSR frame gen, seems like it's proken. delete that config file and it should revert to default settings, then edit the config as you wish but do not utrn frame gen on for now
