Linux version stuck at initial black screen at startup.
Debian Testing (Trixie)
Kernel 6.1.0-9-amd64
Nvidia Driver 525.105.17
Steam 1687386907

GTX 1650 4Gb

1Tb SSD

I played through the first two DLC updates with a stuttering issue occurring after about 45 min of game-play. No dice this time. Black screen at launch with a recurring blip of the HDD light roughly every 5 seconds.

P.S. I'm not using any launch options. Running directly from "Play" button in Steam.

Looks like a bug:

Switched to Windows version. It works but needs reconfiguration of all settings including key bindings.

Nothing like a true null-pointer reference.... :D

Looking at the previous posts, I have not much to add.

Was playing the game normally yesterday, had an update while playing, tomorrow game won't start.

I'm using Fedora, just updated from 36 to 38, reinstalled the nVidia proprietary driver.

Same nullpointer bug in my logfile, starting at line 255:
'''

I have the same issue on Windows 11 Pro.
Upon launching via Steam the game just hangs at a black screen.

Not just Linux - happening for me on Win10
slpak Jun 24, 2023 @ 11:42am 
Black screen on Win10.
Lin/Win/Mac are all affected by this.
