Issues fixed
Blue screen
After the loading screen, the game displays a blue background with an active cursor, but doesn't otherwise function. The only options is to toggle windowed mode with the standard key stroke, or closing the game.[1][2][3]
The issue can be bypassed by switching computers, but no specific fix for an individual computer.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/23700/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (23700) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
