Game issue: Frozen desktop image, only audio!

[Romulator]

According to this log, it seems like the window does get created, but perhaps your Desktop window isn't focusing on it. Or maybe there is something wrong with the resolution.

Right click on SOMA in your Steam Library and run the Settings Launcher (or run Launcher.exe from SOMA's local installation folder), and from there, switch it to Windowed Mode. Let the game boot up, and then try changing settings from SOMA's main menu.
