Menus Freezing - Demm - 01-15-2011
Everytime I bring up a menu (Esc, Tab, etc) it either crashes, sounds loop, or takes forever to come up. This makes it incredibly hard to play consistently and sometimes it forces me to hard restart.
I've messed with all the settings and it still does it. Here are my computer specs
2.4 ghz processor
Nvidia 8700M GT
4 GB of RAM
Vista 32 bit
I bought Amnesia off steam.

Try to disable Steam overlay ui?
RE: Menus Freezing - xiphirx - 01-15-2011
Woah, you have a very low AVG framerate... Medium framerate: 7.723188
Try updating your drivers.
RE: Menus Freezing - Demm - 01-15-2011
Disabled Steam overlay, went to start the game and it crashed to a gray screen. Had to end the process to get out of it.

I would update my drivers, but the current driver for my card is faulty and it's killing the cards if you use them, and videos crash my computer, forcing a hard restart.
RE: Menus Freezing - xiphirx - 01-15-2011
.... The videos crash your computer right now, or if you update?
Can you update to the most recent "good" driver that isn't faulty? Is that what you are on right now?

The latest driver is 260.99 (The one that freezes videos and causes cards to ultimately fail)
The driver I'm using is 258.96 (The most recent 'good' driver)

Does this happen when you run it in windowed mode?

When I try to play in windowed mode it crashes.
The game itself runs fine, it's just opening menus.
