Black screen since Justine DLC update

[RJackson]

Prior to the update, Amnesia worked fine. Now I just get a blackscreen after I try to launch Amnesia or Justine via the Launcher.

I've tried deleting my settings, tried disabling SSAO, tried running in Windowed mode, tried disabling VSynch... nothing works.

I'm trying to collect all 36 potatoes to get the "very special, non-hat-based reward" teased by the Portal 2 Blog. There is just 2 potatoes I'm yet to get, one of them being for completing the Justine DLC 100%. Which of course I can't do if the game doesn't work.

Any idea what I can do to sort this out?

Did you try to rename the whole Amnesia folder in My Documents? So you get a completely new folder structure the next time the game starts.

[RJackson]

I did try deleting the "Main" folder before but to no avail. I just tried renaming the whole folder as you suggested, but that hasn't made any difference either.

I've also kind-of reinstalled Steam after I was having problems with it - I deleted everything but Steam.exe and steamapps and had Steam update again. That hasn't had any affect on Amnesia either.

[Alex Ander]

I'm having the same problem. I can't find any solutions, please help me out!

I just got an update from Steam, but I tried it again and the problem is still not resolved.
