Alright, So I am another user having the whole black startup screen issue, with the blank multi colored startup menu. I have tried many of the suggested issues to resolve this. The game works fine on my desktop on the same OS. I have changed the integrated graphics option to my nividia gpu only. Today i decided to open the consol in the game menu, and it kept showing this message " TheoraTexture - could not create Vorbis stream for 'art/mainmenu/Menu_Day.ogv' ". I am assuming that has something to do with the issue? Anyone have any insight? I took a screenshot of the consol messages if anyone would care to see it.
My specs - Apache Pro MSI laptop, 970m GPU
