Amnesia doesn't load past startup - Capernicus - 04-20-2013

Hello, I am trying to run Amnesia on my Microsoft Surface Pro. Whenever I enter the game, the settings options go through no problem. The problem arises when I click on new game. The music continues to play and the opening scene never starts. I have waited for upwards of 5 minutes but nothing.

I have been through the support thread and tried the have disk method to correct this. What can I do to fix the problem?

I am running on Windows 8 Pro (not sure how many bits, doesn't say). It is a tablet/laptop hybrid. Here is my HPL file.

Spoiler below!

Surface is a tablet, a Windows 8 one but still you cannot play Amnesia with a touch interface.

I have the type cover though. I should be able to use the integrated keyboard and mouse pad shouldn't I? And even if I couldn't, wouldn't the game still load?

RE: Amnesia doesn't load past startup - plutomaniac - 04-20-2013

Well as you said in theory it is a desktop so it should run. Make sure your Intel HD drivers are fully updated from intel.com using the have disk method. The latest drivers, as of now, are 15.31.3.3071 (9.17.10.3071).

Nope, did not work. This is the driver I downloaded, is this the right one?
