Penumbra - Black Box + black screen - Krayban - 01-18-2013

Hello, I'd like to play Penumbra but i can't. When i try to run Black Plague, I can only run the menu, when I start the new game, I can only watch the intro, then game crashes with Black Box

Here's screenshot

My graphics card is HD 7850 and I have the newest drivers. Win 7 64-bit. I installed 1.1 patch but it didn't help.

***************************************************

I have other problem with Penumbra Overture. I can start a new game. Everything goes well, to the place where we find the first dog. My screen goes black, when I go to the menu then return to the game, the screen works for 2 seconds, then it goes black again. I have no idea what's going on.

I hope you help me

Huh

RE: Penumbra - Black Box + black screen - Krayban - 01-18-2013

I can't find hpl.log in my Overture folder, nor in Black Plague folder

RE: Penumbra - Black Box + black screen - plutomaniac - 01-18-2013

RE: Penumbra - Black Box + black screen - Krayban - 01-19-2013

RE: Penumbra - Black Box + black screen - plutomaniac - 01-19-2013
