I had a black screen problem as described in https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/97385-linux-unable-to-start-game-hangs-on-black-screen/ on the game launch, I've used the "SDL_DYNAMIC_API=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0" workaround but it doesn't help with 1.1b. I also tried other workarounds from that topic to no avail. I'm using Debian unstable with nVidia drivers. The game works again after downgrading to the release patch.

I'm running the game on Arch with Nvidia driver. The workaround works fine before and after this beta patch. So the problem might be specific to your system environment.

Indeed, it still works, the game just takes too long to start, like in several threads here.

Awesome wRAR, glad its working out, the latest .31 might resolve this long start issue as well

 

Best,
