Amnesia doesn't start. - Machinae - 11-10-2011

Hello frictionalgames,

My problem is basically described in the attached picture.
When launching the game ( admin mode ), this shows up.
I have tried updating the graphic card driver, but it got rejected, for it was " too new ( 2009 )".
The graphic card is an " Intel® 82945G Express Chipset Family ".
If the graphic driver is the problem - what driver do you think is to install for a 2007 PC?
Since 2009 is already " too new ", well..

Windows Vista, by the way.

I see this problem being affiliated with graphic cards. Is this graphic card even supported by Amnesia?

Thanks in advance,
Machinae (& MahMagicalHat)

Your computer is not capable of running the game and it's not possible to update a driver to fix it.

But i believe there are ways to fool amnesia into believing i have a better graphic card - an emulator, maybe.. so that it will start at last. i'm fine with playing on (very) low settings.
On another PC, i managed to run the game on an 3Ghz processor and GeForce 6700XL graphic card, and at middle to high settings.
I think the lowest settings wouldn't be that much of a problem, then?

Also, thanks for the quick reply.

No sorry there isnt and there is a huge difference between running on a GeForce 6700XL and the IntelĀ® 82945G Express Chipset Family.
