No Amnesia Folder - Sarashinai - 10-29-2011

Hello,
I saw from another thread that the hpl.log file should be found in ~/Library/Application Support/Frictional Games/Amnesia. I'm trying to find the log file to troubleshoot why Amnesia isn't launching. I've checked and I have an NVidia graphics card but there's no Frictional Games or Amnesia folder in my Application Support folder.

Does anyone know why? Is there some other location to check?

The only thing I have to go on so far is the Console output:
11-10-29 9:48:00 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[102] ([0x0-0x26026].com.frictionalgames.AmnesiaSteamLauncher[295]) Exited with exit code: 255

Thanks for your help.


RE: No Amnesia Folder - Urkle - 10-29-2011

This is rather strange. Can you provide some more details on your system?
  • What System are you using (Macbook Pro, Imac?)
  • What year is the system (e.g. 2008 )
  • What OS is it running (Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion), with the exact version.
  • Which exact video card do you have?
This information can be found by choosing "about this mac" from the apple menu and choosing "More Info..."
Do other steam applications work? or it is ONLY Amnesia that is not working?

RE: No Amnesia Folder - Urkle - 10-29-2011

This is starting to look like an issue with steam.

So, first have you restarted steam?

Have you restarted your computer?

Have you tried verifying that amnesia downloaded correctly from steam? You can check this by right clicking ( control click) on amnesia in steam and looking for the verify local cache.

Lastly, have you tried deleting and reinstalling steam?

I've now done all of those things in that order.

I should mention that Penumbra: Overture seems to work, though I haven't played it.

Can you copy/paste the entries from the console log related to steam as well as Amnesia?

RE: No Amnesia Folder - Urkle - 11-05-2011

Hmm.. looks basically the same as mine except for the Exited with exit code error line..

Can you create a Frictional Games folder manually in Application Support?? I'm wondering if there is a file permission issue? And you say that Penumbra works?? Check your ~/Library/Preferences/Frictional Games folder.

I created a Frictional Games folder in Application Support and reran Amnesia but there was no change.

I do have a ~/Library/Preferences/Frictional Games folder that contains Penumbra/Overture. Here's the contents of the hpl.log file from Overture:
