Hello, today I have bought and installed the game but as soon as I start playing (I mean after menus) graphics are weird, yet even inside the game menus and subtitles are fine so it's "just" the 3D part. All other Frictional games i own work perfectly.
I tried to see if the open source drivers are supported but couldn't find any info, the only thing I found was to look in the "Initializing Graphics Module" section of hpl.log and verify that "Version" is at least 3.3 which it is (even tried to remove the shipped sdl2 shared lib, just in case).
Are (or will be in future) open source drivers supported or should I just get ask a steam refund assuming I can't and won't install proprietary drivers?
Anyway I'm on Debian sid with the latest Linux kernel (4.3-rc2), here are my system info from steam:
