Amnesia running WAY too slowly - caramayo - 09-05-2011
So I tried downloading Amnesia on my laptop but because it had an integrated fx card I went to my desktop with a GeForce 7050. Everything runs smoothly until I set up the gamma. After that, at the create profile screen everything slows down, essentially freezing. When I alt+tab out/ctrl+alt+delete and shut it down with the task manager, it says the game is not responding. I changed the settings to lowest possible and turned off SSAO but it still runs slowly. The sound and his voice-over in the beginning are fine, but once the game starts it lags a lot. Here the the hpl.log

RE: Amnesia running WAY too slowly - plutomaniac - 09-05-2011
well the game can barely run with such a card. You need to have the latest nviia drivers installed. Try from your manufacturers website according to your laptop model.

Would I just go to the nviia website?RE: Amnesia running WAY too slowly - plutomaniac - 09-05-2011
Make sure you have this installed at the desktop:

RE: Amnesia running WAY too slowly - caramayo - 09-05-2011
Grrr, for the system check it says this NVIDIA graphics driver is not compatible with this version of Windows O.o BUt I'm running windows 7
RE: Amnesia running WAY too slowly - jens - 09-05-2011
Maybe you have 64 bit windows 7?

RE: Amnesia running WAY too slowly - caramayo - 09-05-2011
Tried that one, and it didn't work
Is my card really not able to run it? I play other games just fine, then again this doesn't use Direct X huh?EDIT: Now the game won't even load. I click Continue game and it goes past the loading screen but it freezes after that and goes to Not responding.
EDIT 2: Then an error appeared stating, "The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver and is unable to continue. The application must close.
RE: Amnesia running WAY too slowly - plutomaniac - 09-05-2011
go to Start>run and type dxdiag or just search for dxdiag and run it. Tell us what operating system it detects so that the right drivers can be given to you.

Download and install this:

During installation make sure clean install is enabled. Restart the computer and try running the game again afterwards.
