Amnesia:Lighting Problem - Jacob55511 - 04-02-2012
I open the game, everything runs fine, and when I hit continue the torch in the menu interface begins to spaz out, then in game, if theres any light in a room, If I stay still it dosnt move, but as I move the light rapidly moves around as if it was a rotating candle on crack. It been doing this since I downloaded it, ive tried playing it in a window, and tried all the graphic settings and nothing solves it. What can I do?

Not sure what you mean, possible to make a video of it and upload you youtube (or other place)?

Here is a video showing what my problem is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea2ZrbWqZsE
Note how the darkness rapidly moves around the screen in opposition to the light in an odd way

Not sure but it looks like the insanity effect and that is as it should.

Yes that looks like the effects of insanity; you can disable it in your options, as far as I'm aware. I had to disable mine for a bit to start with, playing when everything it moving around like that made me feel quite ill >.>

Im pretty sure that its not the insanity though, because when there's no light, I cant even see because the screen gets pretty dark. Things dont "wave", bugs dont crawl, I dont start breathing heavy (Daniel), the screen just starts getting dark and its makes it near impossible to play
Plus it happens regardless of my sanity
This is a far better example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCIcHv0ees ( Note sanity is turned off during this video)

Everything is all good with my graphics card and computer, thats why im so confused as to why the game is doing this
RE: Amnesia:Lighting Problem - plutomaniac - 04-05-2012
