I'm trying to run Gone Home and it's just giving me a black screen. Starts up fine and I can hear the sound, and Steam says it's running, but I can't see anything. I can provide more information if necessary. I've included a picture of what my terminal says while the game is trying to run.
Edit: I apologize if this isn't the right place for this bug. I wandered over here through trying to find help for the Gentoo steam overlay, and didn't realize this was the Valve/Steam bug tracker. If possible please point me in the right direction if this is the wrong place for this bug.

You'll want to report the bug to the game developers. I think their web site is http://thefullbrightcompany.com/gonehome/.

Thanks for your response. Turns out I needed to use the closed-source AMD drivers instead of the open-source ones. The website and readme mentions that too. Everything's fine now.

Nothing extracted yet.
