Custom Story Help!!

[tigerlillymaya13]

I have one more question. I uploaded a custom story called "Curse of Ripley Manor" everything was going fine. I clicked to go into the manor, it was loading and then the game just crashed. The main amnesia game works great. I guess the game did not want to find want find out what was is the manor.
Has anyone else played this custom story or know what went wrong?

You posted a directory before with Amnesia being in the Program Files (x86) directory, meaning you have a retail copy, no? If that's the case, have you tried updating the game to 1.3.1 if it is not already? You can find and download that patch from here: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-24334.html

If that doesn't work; I'm not sure if Curse of Ripley Manor is a full conversion mod or if it is a custom story you launch through Amnesia's menu, but in either case, when the game crashes, it does get logged.

If you launched the game via Amnesia's menu, then load the custom story as per normal and after the game crashes, attach the hpl.log file which can be found using Problem X of our Troubleshooting Guide.

If it is a full conversion mod, follow the above steps, however the log may be in a different folder to /Main/.

Provided the mod crashed Amnesia during its last run, then we can probably pinpoint what caused the crash and help figure the problem out from there!

Thank you for all the information. To answer the questions. First, the game is retail. Second, the custom story is launched from the Amnesia main menu. Third, I did update the game.

I had a problem with trying to download a custom story. My computer kept trying to make me chose which program I wanted to open the custom story with finally someone said maybe I should download the 7z program which worked for awhile, but of course once everything appeared work it all went down hill from there....

I have a problem a screen where you normally drag and drop the custom story will not come up? The outline of the drag and drop screen blinks on the screen and then goes away. Should I just reinstall the game on the computer?

That has nothing to do with the game. It sounds like an issue with your computer.

Does 7zip just close when you try to open it?

[tigerlillymaya13]

No, when I click on the program itself it opens

[Mudbill]

What about the archive files? The .zip or .rar files that you download. Do they also open?

Thanks for all the help! I am attempting to download another custom story to see if this one will work like it should. (I have uploading many custom stories in the past, I don't know why I am having trouble now..)
