Black Plague Shader issues - Jinzai - 05-23-2012
I recently bought Black Plague on steam and when I started playing I was greeted by the textures messing up, I've looked for a way to solve this but the only thing that fixes it is turning the shader settings onto very low, now this isn't good because there's no darkness.
I have updated the game with the 1.1 patch and my video card drivers, I notice this seems to be a common problem with ATI/AMD cards
I'm on a HP G62 Notebook PC running 64 bit windows 7, AMD Athlon II P340 Dual-Core Processor, 2200 Mhz, 2 Core, 2 Logical Processor and 3GB RAM
Any help would be appreciated thank you

I don't know anything other than that, I tried what's suggested there and my laptop doesn't have any graphics card related control panel

Yes, you have ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics. Make sure you have the latest BIOS installed: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-101272-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=4320887&sw_lang= as well as the latest AMD drivers from HP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-97452-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=4320887&sw_lang=

I just installed both of those and tried again, still isn't working :/
RE: Black Plague Shader issues - plutomaniac - 05-24-2012
Well if your graphics card does not have a control panel, it must be low-end. So, change the settings to be able to play at least. That's all I can offer...

Strange how both the other penumbra games work and hell I can even run skyrim on medium :l
RE: Black Plague Shader issues - plutomaniac - 05-24-2012
Penumbra use OpenGL and not DirectX. So Skyrim is something different. Well, integrated AMD (not the APU's of course) cards always are weak and have issues. I guess you have you have to live with that for now...
