Penumbra won't show - Subhazard - 08-25-2007

Hey, installed the game, plus the silly little plugin that came with it.

I click on it, and it changes my resolution to match it's settings, like all games do, then it just sits there... it doesn't maximize... it doesn't do anything. I tried maximizing it and stuff but I hear audio but I can't see the game.

This is annoying, I want to give this game a try.

Do you have latest graphic card drivers?

Yes, and I'm sick of people immediately asking that question ><


RE: Penumbra won't show - Yuhaney - 08-25-2007

Yeah, because it's almost everyones problem with the game.

Subhazard:
What graphics card do you have?


RE: Penumbra won't show - chuckles42 - 09-15-2007

I have a problem also- I downloaded the demo, it installed fine, but when I click on the icon, it seems to load, I get a black screen for less than a second, then it closes and leaves me on the desktop. What do I need to do to keep the game running? I have Windows XP, and can run a system snapshot if necessary.

Please state your graphics card and make sure you have the latest drivers for it.

My graphics card is a GeForce 2 MX-200 32Mb AGP. I will try to see if there are new drivers for it. What is your best suggestion to get the drivers? I can try Driverguide.com, but I want to be sure I get the right ones. I have downloaded sound drivers from there before, for the same system-XP. Any help you can give is appreciated. Thanx.

I am afraid that Geforce 2 is not suppored by the game.
