RE: Penumbra will not start... - plutomaniac - 10-09-2011
does this yellow notification box still come up? Your graphics card is not working properly or has some kind of problem. There is no other explanation.

It still comes up yea, but what I dont get is if my graphics card has a problem I dont understand how other games I got work perfectly? Looks like I will have to upgrade my card then, well, thanks for your help

if you do upgrade, prefer Nvidia only and not AMD for OpenGL gaming
RE: Penumbra will not start... - emmalong - 10-09-2011
Okii and does it matter if my processors are AMD as well?

That would depend if you plan on SLI, since the older motherboards tend to only support one kind of dual-GPU connection. If your board has an nForce chipset, then SLI should be possible; if it has an AMD chipset, then SLI may not be possible.

Okii thanks for your answers, guess I will buy another GPU as I plan to do so anyway, thanks for all your help

Hey there,
I also bought this pack recently, and cannot open any of the games... however, I am playing on a BRAND NEW system.
I am running an i5 2500k, GIGABYTE Z68 UD4, Radeon HD 6870... and fully updated (beta, for BF3 - 8.901.2.0) drivers.
I have the exact same error....btw, this is Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit.

I guess you are talking about a desktop computer so make sure you have this installed: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspx

I would have been really surprised if I needed a graphics driver that came out 3 days ago to run this game...
