RE: No graphics showing up? HELP! - RivalNightmare - 10-30-2011

I am using Windows 7. But the drivers might be outdated.. I'll update those to see if it works and if it doesn't, I'll just post that log thing..

RE: No graphics showing up? HELP! - Chickenhawk - 10-30-2011

Thanks for the swift reply guys. Yeah, that's all I did the last time I started the game. I have actually begun playing, which is where the problem reared its ugly head.

I've tried updating my drivers to no avail, but not via the "have disk" method. I'll give that a shot and report back.

EDIT:
Victory! It runs fine now. I had thought that my inability to update the driver normally meant it was up-to-date. I can also run Crysis on low settings, so I doubted I was incapable of running Amnesia. I'll have to read up on OpenGL. Thanks a million, Pluto. You made my day.

You can to do the same as Chickenhawk as I said here(instead of toshiba, you have HP but you have to use the Have Disk Method as well): http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-11022-post-99563.html#pid99563

2. Is it a laptop or a desktop? If a laptop, what model?
3. Attach me here the file HPL.log found under Documents\Amnesia\Main folder.
I have Windows 7, it is 64-bit
It's a Sony Vaio Laptop with intel core i5

You need to update your Intel HD drivers but since you have a Sony VAIO laptop you need to use the have disk method. Go to Sony Specifics to learn how to do that.

thank you so much. I didn't even have to use the have disk method. Once I downloaded the driver it ran smoothly. THANK YOU

have fun playing the game then! Smile


RE: No graphics showing up? HELP! - snarf - 11-03-2011

Ok, I had the same problem that the OP stated but now I have a whole new one. I updated my drivers, able to see game graphics but now I cannot go into my options to change my resolution to where I can actually read the text and have clear graphics. Each time I log into the game, the menus are HUGE. They are so big, the resolution drop down is out of frame and I can't get to it.

Please help.


RE: No graphics showing up? HELP! - RivalNightmare - 11-04-2011

So everything refuses to work.. I don't know why.. I attached the hpl.log..

I hope that the game will work someday..
