Weird issue here. I'm using Debian 11 Xfce, and I downloaded the Linux version of the game and installed it with no problems. When I start the game, only a black window appears, its likely resolution 800x600 as it's its original setting.
Since I couldn't move the mouse, I tried to Alt-Tab to another window and it worked, and then the game started. But when I switch back to the game it freezes again, and this keeps happening.
I changed the graphics settings in the ~/GOG Games/Psychonauts/game/DisplaySettings.ini to be my screen's resolution and fullscreen, but the game still starts with a 800x600 window and it still crashes. Even with the compositor turned off.
Has anyone else experienced this, and/or has a solution?

PS: the Windows version installs and runs, but I have a weird issue with the camera rolling: I can try fixing that in case, as there are topics here about it, but I'd like to try solving the Linux version's issue(s?) first. And it's anyway another topic :)

I had the same issue.

Try copying

~/GOG Games/Psychonauts/DisplaySettings.ini

to

~/.local/share/Psychonauts/DisplaySettings.ini

and then editing it to your screen resolution and full screen mode.

That fixed the issue for me.
