Amnesia won't load - Tommyboypsp - 04-20-2012
When I click play on Amnesia it doesn't load.
I'm on an iMac and I use Steam.
Has anyone else had this?
It usually works, but now for some reason when I click it, it just doesn't do anything. I don't even get an error or anything.

Not only wrong forum but also wrong subforum.
Moved to Amnesia MACTS from Penumbra WTS

I would restart steam, and have steam run a cache validation check to ensure Amnesia is installed correctly.
RE: Amnesia won't load - Urkle - 04-20-2012
I believe this is a steam issue, as I just installed the steam client
update from yesterday and the game no longer works on my system (e.g.
the system where the mac version was developed).
However, I managed to get it working again.. Here is what I did
- Delete Steam from my Applications folder.
- Tell it "NO" when it asks to remove the local data (unless you really want to, you can :-D )
- Go
to the Library/Application Support/Steam/ folder and delete EVERYTHING
except for the SteamApps folder (that is where your installed games are) - Re download steam from steampowered.com
- Reinstall it (drag to Applications folder)
- launch
steam and wait for it to update. it may take some time and may even
claim you have no internet just after downloading updates.. just
re-launch it again. - Once it finishes updating login, and validate your system (Steams authorization process as it thinks you are on a new system)
- Try
running amnesia.. It may take a bit as steam resyncs all your games (to
make sure they are all updated).. But it should run perfectly now.
