Penumbra wont start - ButteredCrumpets - 11-18-2012

Hi all
Recently i have been having problems with penumbra black plague on steam. Whenver i click on play the message box comes up saying loading black plage, then the box disappears and nothing happens, the game does not load. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but that has not changed anything.
I would be gratefull for any help

Moved to correct section.

Make sure you have the latest drivers installed.
Also, can you post the hpl.log?

Sorry but i'm probably not as experienced with computers as you are, could you tell me what hpl.log is

Go to documents/penumbra/Black Plague/ and there should be your HPL.log

I seem to be struggling to find it atm

Try running the game again to create a new HPL.log file

Keep in mind that HPL.log usually looks like a text file
