I can play, but I can't see anything.

[Lilmilstead]

I went through the troubleshooting guide, updated all my drivers, made sure color depth was on 32-bit, dropped the game res, and turned all the settings to low or off, but when I play, I hear the beginning monologue and the sound effects, but I can't see anything. What should I do?

Post the hpl.log file from My Documents/Amnesia/Main please.

You have an integrated graphics from intel, which is below requierments to run the game.

[Lilmilstead]

Well that's annoying. Waste of 10 bucks.

[Tanshaydar]

It's your fault that you didn't try the FREE demo which could possibly be a 'Waste of 10 minutes'

[Lilmilstead]

Not at all, I'll just have to play it on my desktop. I was just annoyed at the time and said that.
