[solved] black screen problem

[Toukei]

I had the black screen problem where the game is running (can hear menu sounds) but you just see a black screen.

There's a config file in ~/SteamApps/common/Limbo

I set "backbufferheight = 1440" and it started working.

This is on Ubuntu 14.04, with a 2560x1440 monitor.

Thx dude but it did not work for me at all.
To GNU/Linux users (and maybe Win or OSX users?) ==> check your screen's refresh rate is not higher than 60Hz. Indeed, the game won't work until you change this setting in your graphic card's driver settings.
In my case, the refresh rate of my screen is 144Hz and I had to force the refresh rate to 60Hz in my NVidia graphic card's driver settings.
Note: The -refresh60 setting you can set to launch the game is not working either.
Cheers.

i try the method of the first comment, and try too changing to 60 Refresh Ratio, but that don't work for me neither.

Well i claim free this game today, i can't play because of a "Black Screen" the menu sound fine. i have the reqs for GNU/Linux but if i can see the game i can't play it

Well , the unique alternative i found its installing Steam via PlayOnLinux + Wine 1.8 SteamCrossOverHack package

Inside Steam For Windows, install Limbo, and after download my compilation of files and registry keys need it for play it

I really wanna play with native for GNU/Linux . but i can fix it under Wine, but i can't fix it under GNU/Linux yet.

Under Wine i know the files are for Verter Shaders 2.0 & 3.0 , and activation of GLSL for i can see it.

Well this is fun... I can hear the music and see the intro screen but can't do anything else. (running on a Macbook Pro, never have problems usually). Anyone using a Mac have this issue and have a fix?

Setting the game to windowed mode in the config settings worked for me.
