The bug(s?) that I am investigating is the one that has been reported in these threads:
http://frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-3305.html
http://frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-3272.html
There are two ways in which the bug happens:
1) A random crash that happens every couple of minutes in the game.
2) A crash that happens when opening a door leading a new level by using a crowbar in the incinerator level.
Both bugs are fixed by applying an 1.03 (that Jens has been supplying).
Please do not respond this thread on less you have one of these problems!
Please download the following zip file and unzip it in the redist directory of Penumbra Overture (where Penumbra.exe is at), replacing the Penumbra.exe.
Before doing so, make a backup copy of the normal Penumbra.exe!

Please reply and tell me how it works!
If the above exe does not work, try this one, but please try to other first.
I feel I should also quote my experience. I have the steam version of penumbra: overture. I was stuck 2). 1st exe didn't work. 2nd exe has worked successfully. Surprisingly short game I must say.

Hey, I've got a topic up but have received no help so far.
This does not work either, I keep getting a blank screen.

I had problem 1 on a copy downloaded from the Frictional Games store circa the Humble Indy Bundle. 32 bit WinXP with a Sapphire brand Radeon HD 4770. The first .exe seems to have solved my problems. Thanks!

I was having the time related crash every couple of minutes ("... in module penumbra.exe") and sometimes a crash when closing the chest in the boat you start in ("... in module <UNKNOWN>"), the 1st fixed exe resolved both of these crashes and I haven't had any other issues so far, I'm at the point where I just got a message on the radio.
Bought and downloaded the Penumbra Collection (Windows) from the Frictional Games store during the Humble Indie Bundle discount.
System I'm playing on:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ ~2.0GHz
Memory: 2 GiB (2 x 1 GiB), Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit
Video Card: EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX (G92), 512 MiB VRAM
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value (64 channel) (running with Software Audio though)
Operating System: Windows XP Professional w/SP3 (fully updated)

Im also having this problem in the beginning of the game it crashess during loading screens ( just staying in the loading screen without loading) or i get the excepion access violation in module at penumbra.exe 001B.004A 2044 - 2023.
So I also did the replacing of the penumbra.exe file with the 1mb Zipfile and the access violation error stops only the game freezes in loading screen at the office, before it didn't.
What can be done now ?
I have also done the libvorbi. bll file its not the problem
UPDATE: OK ik just got one of those patchess working seems im on my way thanks
