will start with no overlay, but everything is black and discouloured.

Hey,

Have you tried opening the game with OpenGL and updating your graphic drivers? Have you also tried to "Verify integrity of game files" via steam? On the other hand looking at the logs there seem to be a lot of things going wrong, one of them being that SteamSDK failed to initialize.

Take care,

Jonas
