It worked!But now it doesent start... - Kenta - 09-16-2010

Well i just purchase the game, installed and it worked !
But after 2x restart of the game, because i needed an break...
The Game doesent like to start again.
FATAL ERROR: Renderer #0

I changed nearly everything in the graphic options !
I deleted my Amnesia folder in the document folder... I reinstall the game...
I downloadet the Sound files you mentioned in the FAQ...
I set all Graphic settings to extrem low... everything disabled ... everything off or low. Also Resolution to 640x480 !
And again the same ERROR...

I really get frustrated...
It worked at first with HIGH settings, not with the highest resulution but on 1024p !

Also the hpl.log tells me this kind of issue :
Quote:ERROR: Frame buffer 'Deferred_GBuffer_Main' is not complete! Format is unsupported!
ERROR: Could not create frame buffer for Deferred renderer type: 0!
FATAL ERROR: Renderer #0 could not be initialized! Make sure your graphic card drivers are up to date. Check log file for more information.

Dont tell me that i havent the newest drivers...
I checked my Nvidia drivers twice, they are up to date!

My System :
Windows 7 - 64bit - Professional
Nvidia - GeForce 8800 GTS/PCI/SSE2
4gb RAM
Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU @ 2.40 GHz 2.40 GHz



I added all necassary informations here :

im having the same issue and so are many other people. As far as i know the only solution to this is to play the game at the default resolution.

The game even dont like to start in the default resolution...
Just a restart of my pc with an an kill of the amnesia folder worked now for me...
I am able to play a bit, without the best graphic settings.... but it work... as far i see.

But could you please fix the problem ? It cant be that i need to restart my pc everytime the game dislike to start...

did you try all things under A.7?

Quote:1) Enter Display Properties and make sure that the desktop color depth is 32.

2a) Run at lower resolution. Even if you have an LCD screen, there should be no problem running at a resolution such as 1280x768 and have the game still look good. This is probably the best solution to this problem.

2b= Make sure that SSAO and EdgeSmooth are turned off. These two effects use up a lot of graphics memory and turning them off should help a lot.

1. Check - It is 32 True Color depth.
2A. 1280x768 works after restart, but just if i change in ingame. If i select it with the settings in the launcher i get the same Bug as Above... After playing and restarting the game it doesent work again... -> Restart
2B. Its turned off, the Error still confusing me...

After an restart i can start the game with SSAO on and all Settings on extreme High, just the resolution to 1280x768. But like i said, after an restart of the game it doesen work again. I need to boot my pc and delete the amnesia folder to fix it temporarily...

RE: It worked!But now it doesent start... - Thomas - 09-17-2010

I would try to install the current drivers, reboot and then install the drivers again. Make sure that you download the latest drivers from Nvidias homepage and not just rely on Windows update or similar.

I always use the direct download from the Nvidia homepage.
But it seems to work now after some reinstalls of the Nvidia drivers... but the error happends again if I change the settings... so I leave them on HIGH and dont change the resulotion and it works Smile

--------
Something else what i need mention :
1. You can Clip under the Stairs in the main Hall with the fountain (Just go through the wall oO ). Just the left side.
2. In the inner sanctum where you first see the strange fire torch lights, if you jump on the debris beside the big Gate (To hide from the monster), you clip into the floor...... from there you can see the whole level...
3. I crash the game if i double press on an item then combine it with something in the inventory...

PS: Great game by the way !

Which settings did you change to make it happen? Would be very valuable information as it could give other users with similar problems tips on how to solve.
