Amnesia Crashing - DarkBlaze - 07-03-2012
Whenever i start Amnesia, I get to play for like a minute or two, but then the screen freezes and I need to force close the game. I've been looking around other posts, but I can't seem to find the solution. I have 64-bit and its a laptop.
Here are the contents of the hpl text file.

Make sure to update the drivers for the graphics card, then try to run the game with different settings and see if that helps. If not, try changing to various settings in the control panel for the graphics card and see if any of that helps.

Try what Jens said but the log seems to be just fine. It might be a hardware issue
