Menu loads, but the game doesn't - Azelice - 09-12-2013
Hi,
I had the same problem on Amnesia : the dark descent, but I waited A Machine For Pigs, thinking this one should work. But I've got exactly the same problem and I couldn't find any solution. I've read all the subjects and all the troubleshooting guides i could find and the game still doesn't load.
My drivers are all updated, i checked it several times. I also tried oldest version because of what I read on forums about AMD and OpenGL. I tried with the lowest resolution and graphics, and still nothing. I'm stuck on the loading screen when I want to start the game, but i'm able to create a profile.
My exploitation system is windows 8, 64 bits
It's a laptop Sony
I've got the game on steam, I verified the cache a lot of times, tried to uninstall it, etc.
I was to able to play The dark descent on an old computer which is dead now, I'm a really huge fan of this game and I was waiting for this one since the rumor of an Amnesia 2 was launched. That's why, with a poor english (I apologize for that), I'm here asking for your help, you're my last hope !
Thank you for your help !
Regards,
Azelice.

This is the log from Amnesia TDD not AMFP. Attach the file HPL.log as mentioned at the troubleshooting guide, Problem X.

I'm sorry, I thought the Main folder was the AMFP's one. I send you the right hll.log !

So this is the first time you run the game? When you select Start a new game the crash occurs?
RE: Menu loads, but the game doesn't - Azelice - 09-12-2013
Yes, I tried to run the game for the first time this morning, but I tried a lot of times. Everything's ok on the menu, then when I select Start a new game, the loading screen appears and never stops and I can still hear the music of the loading screen.
I had exactly the same problem with TDD and I tried several times to make it work on a long period. I even tried to let the game load for hours and still nothing happened.

Something is interfering most probably like a background program. Try closing everything in the background including your browser, antivirus (disable), word, skype or whatever.

Thank you very very very very much !!!! I even closed VAIO and things like that and the game is running !! I don't have enough words to tell how grateful I am ! Thank you so much !!!!!

That's great. If you happen to find out what specific program was causing problems kindly mention it here so that I can add it to the known problematic background programs. Have fun playing the game!
