Unable to run SOMA - divibal - 04-28-2016

i Have recently built a new computer and i am now struggling to run soma. first problem i ran into was vcomp100.dll not found, but i got that error message away after installing c++ 2010 x64. but now each time i try to run the game it shows 'Fatal ERROR Fmod could not be initialized' after i received a black screen. my pc specs are i5 3.3ghz 8gb ram and using integrated graphics intel 530. my graphics driver is up to date. i also downloaded the game on my laptop which has lower end specs but was able to run it. is there anything i still need to install? please i need help

Intel graphics are not supported by SOMA. It's not even supported for Amnesia. The only Intel cards that have a chance at running them are the Intel HD 4500 (around that number or higher I think).

Thanx for the reply. My laptop has intel graphics 4000 which might explain why it worked. I really hope that would be the case. Im getting a gtx960 4gb on the weekend so hopefully that should solve the problem Smile

I have tested amnesia on my pc with the intel graphics 530 which ran without problems.

I'm sure it will. Good luck!

You need to install the 32bit one too.

SOMA is not supported on 32-bit systems.

I have just tried installing that now. It was unable to install as i received a error stating that i have a better/updated version on this machine, which would be the 64bit version. Tomorrow i would be picking up my gtx960 and i will let you know if the problem persists with the new GPU selected.

Copy and paste the contents of the hpl.log file. You can find it in Documents/My Games/Soma/.
