Black Box (do I need a new card?) - MoogleNox - 09-05-2012

I'm not a that great with this sort of thing so I have looked at the other posts and I'm still confused. I keep getting the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in molut <unknown> at 001B: 0000000.

everything says to check you hpl folder to see what card you have so that is what I did.
So what is my next move?

Yes this card is not capable of running Amnesia, it is not possible to get the game running without new hardware.

damn. ok how do I go about getting one and what do I need?

Any GPU that supports at least OpenGL 2.1 should be good.

If you're on a laptop (which looks like you are), you're going to need a whole new computer or, if you're lucky, upgrade any desktop computer you have lying around if even the desktop is too weak.

Really I have to get whole new computer!

Tell us if you're using a laptop, or desktop. If it's a laptop, then you're going to need a new computer. If it's a desktop, there might be a chance it can be upgraded. Tell us its specs, and how old the desktop is if that's the case.

No I'm on a laptop...

Well, I'm afraid you're going to need a new computer then as laptops usually mean that you can't change your graphics card.

You really don't have a desktop anywhere?
