[Solved] strange crash,olease help!thanks - andrea - 04-06-2007

i hope you'll be able to help me,thanks.

My sistem.

Athlon xp 3200,1 gb ddr 400 ram, motherb. abit nf7s v.2,windows xo + s.pack2,7600 gt with forceware 93.71.

After some minutes I started the game a blackbox icon appears ,the game returns to desktop and the following message appears:

penumbra.exe caused exception_access_violation in module libvorbis.dll at 0013:00681e18,vorbis_synthesis_blocking()+0520 bytes.

It happens with OPENAL abilited and disabilited.

I tried with no result to set the game at the lowest setting too.
Any suggestion?

I purchased the game here in Italy.

Thanks

Andrea

Hi,

Could you upload hpl.log found in "My Documents/Episode 1/" ('My Documents' is probably called something else).

Also make sure that you have the latest drivers for you sound card.

I am afraid I am not sure what you mean here.

RE: strange crash,olease help!thanks - andrea - 04-06-2007

thanks,I'll upload the log file next week because now I'm writing not from my home.

The OpenAL is the audio program file the game suggest to install after the setup game is finished.

Thanks

Whoa. 45 Euro? Where did you buy it from? Sorry to say, but that sounds like quite a hefty price there...unless it came from taxes/delivery...the game only costs 20 Euro for download from most places, I believe...

RE: strange crash,olease help!thanks - Thaliur - 04-11-2007

TheCollective is totally right.
This price is just crazy. You'd get it cheaper if you just import it via Amazon (might sum up to about 25€ then).
Where did you buy it?

And though I don't know much about Penumbra specifically, the log file seems to list a lot of missing files.
I'd suggest you just try to reinstall it, maybe with a shorter game path (like C:\Games\Penumbra, or the default directory). I'm not sure about Penumbra, but some games, or other software, don't like long filepaths and might not find some files because of them.

RE: strange crash,olease help!thanks - Thomas - 04-11-2007

The log file seem to be correct. I need to look into this more though to make sure.

First some questions though:

1. Does the crash happen at the same place?
2. Does the crash happen every time?
3. If not, is there some event that you think the crash might have something to do with? Since it seem like the ogg vorbis dll is where the crash is, it might have something to do with the music (or sounds).
