Graphics Card!!! - pootakka - 04-24-2011

Ok so I just got Amnesia... I install it and everything is going fine, but then I try starting it up and I get this: FATAL ERROR: Failed to start Renderer#0 or something like that. So, I went to canirunit or whatever and got these results... I just wanna know why it says I passed and that I can run it, yet nothing happens when I try to play it?!?!?! AngryAngryAngry

Canyourunit is a terrible place in general to see if your specs are good enough to play certain games. I'm pretty sure their specs for Amnesia are incorrect, as well.

Also, according to the screenshot you have an integrated Intel card. Integrated Intel cards don't tend to work with Amnesia.

You could try turning off Windows Aero and turning down the settings of the game.

And Windows Aero is? Sorry, I'm not great with computers... Sad

For the love of God, there's a FREE demo that is available. Why didn't you try it? Also canyourunit is total shit, never trust it.

Please explain your hate for CanYouRunIt? Is it really inaccurate or something? And if so, why is that?


RE: Graphics Card!!! - xiphirx - 04-24-2011

Yes, it is inaccurate, as you can see here. This is because it is a web application, it can only do so much really...

I also doubt the creators put in specific requirements such as driver versions or vendors for that matter, I bet they only pay attention to CPU and RAM requirements.
