Help with Amnesia - Hurs - 09-08-2010
I just got myself the game but im Im really disappointed... so I have a few questions
does this game require pixel&vertex shader 3.0 or it can run on 2.0 too?
If I can't run it on shader version 2.0 then ignore the following:
when I start the game I get an error saying this: FATAL ERROR: Renderer #0 could not be initialized! Make sure your graphic card drivers are up to date. Check log file for more information.
when I checked the crash log thats what I saw

FATAL ERROR: Renderer #0 could not be initialized! Make sure your graphic card drivers are up to date. Check log file for more information.I use an ATI xpress 1100 integrated graphics card, I tried to update my drivers but I always get an error saying: Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware... at the end I had to use the system restore to get myself the old drivers
So I wanna ask you what might be causing the game to crash on startup? Could it be DirectX?
If it's the drivers would a windows XP reinstallation solve the error?thx in advance
RE: Help with Amnesia - Hurs - 09-08-2010
Anyone?
RE: Help with Amnesia - jens - 09-08-2010
The X-series has turned out to be quite tricky, Thomas will investigate it as soon as he can.
For now, check: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-3754.html
see if you find anything useful, but as this is a integrated card I think it will be quite difficult to get it running with ease.
RE: Help with Amnesia - Hurs - 09-08-2010
before I do anything can you tell me what pixel shader version this game requires in order to run? Because if it's 3.0 I would only waste my time installing/uninstalling drivers and directx
RE: Help with Amnesia - markdimand - 11-21-2010
Hy... Yes,This game supports Pixel/Vertex Shader 2.0 (and Shader Model 2.0)
And i`m playing with a Ati Radeon 9600 Pro and works
RE: Help with Amnesia - Mr. Hippie - 12-01-2010
Hello, I purchased Amnesia about a month back and never got around to playing it until recently. Everything seems fine and works normally except when I play, the lights flicker erratically and the texture of the floor changes and warps in shape. Occasionally even dropping off into nothing. Other than being unable to see the floor and the lights making it difficult to see anything at all, there is nothing wrong with the gameplay. No crashes or freezes, just bizarre graphic glitches. I have changed all of the settings in countless ways and re-installed it many times. Here is the hpl.log file.
[attachment=850] [Not sure how to put the file in anyhow else, sorry]
Also, I run Windows Vista, in case that effects anything.
RE: Help with Amnesia - jens - 12-01-2010
Try and update the drivers by going to ati.com and download newer drivers for your graphics card.
RE: Help with Amnesia - Adiane - 12-01-2010
Mr. Hippie, the problems you're experiencing were happening mostly to users with ATI X1000-series cards or lower. Yours seems to be a X1200 so I would've thought the game would run fine, but I guess it's still in that iffy range. :\
Have you noticed if the light flickering and texture errors are consistent each time you load your saves? Or are the problems more or less severe at random? I ask because in my game when I load my last save I'll sometimes have moderate flickering with NO texture errors happening, but if I reload that same save again I'll get VERY severe flickering with texture errors and some objects will be rendered invisible/totally black. No one else I've asked has had this kind of variation though.

The same every time and even in cut scenes do the floors change there shape and texture.
