Amnesia won't launch in fullscreen - KillerKoala - 10-15-2011 Hi, everyone, I can't seem to get Amnesia to run in fullscreen. I end up with a black screen and have to ctrl+alt+delete to get out of it. It works fine in windowed mode, but that completely kills any chance of immersion, which is something that I really loved about the Penumbra series. I've tried just about everything I've seen on here and I'm really hoping I can get this to work and enjoy the pants urinating horror that I've come to expect from Frictional Games.

RE: Amnesia won't launch in fullscreen - KillerKoala - 10-15-2011 Yeah, the device manager said the drivers were up to date. Also, here's the BlackBox I get when it crashes. RE: Amnesia won't launch in fullscreen - Tanshaydar - 10-15-2011 I'm not asking for device manager, you should manually install your graphic drivers. Your operating system is 32-bit, right? So, download this: http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7-winvista-280.26-whql-driver.html Uninstall your graphic driver Restart your computer Install this one Should do the trick. RE: Amnesia won't launch in fullscreen - KillerKoala - 10-15-2011 64-bit actually, will this driver work? Sorry, should have specified that in the OP. EDIT: Nevermind, found the 64-bit version. EDIT2: Worked like a charm, thanks so much!
