Crash Problem... HELP

[Hennes]

Hello,

i have Penumbra Black Plaque and my System is Windows 7 64 bit...

Eerything was OK, i played the game and works well...

Now when i start the game and load a save game it starts normally, and one time i move the mouse it crashes, sometimes i pick something it crashes, sometimes ehen i pick up the head from the machine it crashes, but i cant play now...

I tried so much (reinstalling game and driver graficcard...) but nothings good...

it says nvoglv32.dll is the mistake, but what can i do? And i did nothing new on my system since last time i played...

Can someone help me?

Best regards

Can you give us your system specs like GPU model, driver versions used etc?

Also post the hpl.log file from C:\Users\*yourusername*\Documents\Penumbra\Black Plague\

Try loading an earlier save and replay up to this part again. Or try and re-install the game, or both.

No function, i deinstalled and reinstalled 3-4 times, no luck...
Whats with these Errors and Warnings?
I tried to start from anther point, but this was no solution too...

Has nobody this Problem?

Regards

[Hennes]

Nobody an idea?

Not really =/

Are you running the steam copy? If so have you validated your install? (just incase you're re installing from the same backup). Nothing else could have happened to make your system unstable maybe? Temperatures? Does this happen in any other games?

No, i Play an online Shooter by the way, no Problem with this game i checked to start another Save point, and it works a time, but when i am near the infirmary, i pick anything next to me and it crashes, what the hell is going on there? Where can i get a savepoint out of the infirmary i need the head there...

The last time i stopped the game ist ehen i was next to the machine room..., but no savepoint of this... :-(

I have this game from a friend, i dont know from where it is, he installed it for me, he is playing amnesia now, so he gave the game to me for playing...

It cant be, that this game crashes everytime...

Hello Experts,

what can i do? Don´t leave me alone with this problem...

Is it not possible, that someone who plays or played the game on win 7 64bit, can copy the game folders and gave them to me? maybe this is the only solution? Or whats with the errors??

Regards

Don't have any more ideas really, might be some software conflict. The errors in the log are normal.
