amnesia, trouble playing - crazydude980 - 08-03-2011
ok, so i bought the game through steam, installed it, and i went to run it, it starts fine, runs fine, the music works, but i cant get any color to show... like, i can start a new game, i can listen to the words he's saying, and i can even hear him move, but i cant see anything because of a black screen. the black screen wont let me do anything! ive tried all of the suggested fix's, uninstall and re-install my graphics card, (which is an nvidia) and i've even uninstalled amnesia completely! ive tried to even disable my intel card, using only my nvidia, but it causes a major problem because i run 2 moniters, i can't disable either of my graphics cards because it makes my moniters freak out. ive tried to run amnesia in every way i can think, nothing makes it so i can see the game! please help!

RE: amnesia, trouble playing - plutomaniac - 08-03-2011
Are you sure your dedicated graphics card is Nvidia and if yes which one? The game detects only the Intel one. Usually that happens only with ATI/AMD cards. Anyway, you can force the game to run with the Nvidia card at the Nvidia Control Panel. Install the latest nvidia drivers and go to the Troubleshooting thread for instructions how to run the game with the nvidia card. If that won't work you can still play the game with the Intel one but you need to have the latest drivers installed(2361).

i have the nvidia geforce GTX 550 TI and the drivers are up to date. i dont seem to have an option to set my preferred graphics card as some people do, and i have tried everything in the support guide, i have no clue whats going on, my computer shouldnt have any problems, it's brand new, i bought it 4 months ago, there shouldnt be anything wrong with it. and i cant set my intel card as the main card, i have 2 moniters and the nvidia card runs the other one, i hope maybe someone can help me.
RE: amnesia, trouble playing - plutomaniac - 08-03-2011
Try with one monitor only
RE: amnesia, trouble playing - crazydude980 - 08-04-2011
ok, having one moniter running is now it's working, but please have a designer fix this problem, i would like to be able to not have to disable my intel card and then have to enable it and restart my computer just to get my computer to work again.
RE: amnesia, trouble playing - plutomaniac - 08-04-2011
You have to somehow asign both monitors to the nvidia card probably from the nvidia control panel.

the other moniter is run by the actual card, it wont even let me in the control panel unless i have 2 moniters hooked up.
RE: amnesia, trouble playing - plutomaniac - 08-05-2011
Its not a problem of the game but your computer's configuration
