Fresh ONI install, black screen

Having just reimaged a system to Ubuntu last night, I can confirm I had the same issue and the same solution worked. The game would launch, black screen, go to white screen, audio would start perfectly fine, then black screen. I could hear the little menu animation noises happening but not do anything. Actually really glad someone already found out what was wrong, so cheers to that.

After changing the resolution as listed, launched again and worked as I had originally expected.

Thanks so much @KittenIsAGeek for figuring that out! We've seen a number of cases of this; the log shows a resolution of 1x1 but we weren't sure where that number was coming from.

Now we're not sure where this setting in the prefs file is coming from but at least now we can hunt that down. Appreciate it!

My suspicion is that the script that generates the prefs.ini file for Unity3d during the install of ONI is getting a bad value and passing that along in the settings.

Hunting down bugs that don't have errors is hard...

Changed Status to Fixed

The game will detect and fix this error in the next major update. In the meantime, the solution posted here (modifying /.config/unity3d/Klei/Oxygen Not Included/prefs) will resolve the issue.
