The floor rises in Amnesia

**TheRiseOfMetal** · 07-12-2011, 03:21 AM

I just bought the downloadable version of Amnesia off of Amazon. I want to play the game so bad but even during the opening scenes when Daniel is trying to force himself to remember the floor rises beneath my feet. When in game, playing is almost impossible because the floor consumes everything that is below what I would imagine is your character's knees. I have updated my drivers on my video/graphics card. I have an ATI Radeon 2100. No matter what I do it doesn't seem to want to work on my computer. Is there any way to fix this?

Are you sure you don't have any other such card that the game is recognizing? The card should be able to run the game, I lokked it up and it has OpenGL 3.3

EDIT: Didn't read the whole thing.

Well another issue that happens (that isn't too much of a problem) is when I am at the start up screen. Not the one where the game is loaded, but the mini box that pops up when you first start the game. It says under the video/graphics card area the name of my ATI Radeon 2100 but when I click the button for the game to match the quality of my card it says it is unable to do it with my video card and sets everything automatically to medium as far as graphics quality goes. I have messed with it and my best bet is on low settings, but the game runs so I know the card must be working at least a little bit. It's just the problem with the floor I am having

Have you tried turning off some or all of the post effects under the options menu to see if that helps?

To tell you the truth, I haven't yet. I was afraid to touch any of that haha. I'll go try that right now and see if it helps and will post back with the results.

Ok, so I just went to the options menu of my game and removed all of the post effects off to see if any of them off would have any effect. The problem is still continuing even with all of them off.

If you're absolutely sure your drivers are the current ones provided, you could search around on Google for some custom drivers to try.

1) Download THIS and tell me what OpenGL version it detects.
2) What operating system do you have(also x86 or x64?)
3) Is it a desktop or a laptop(probably an old desktop)
4) Attach us here the file HPL.log found under Documents\Amnesia\Main folder.

Ok for my OpenGL I have 2.1.8545 Release

For my OS I'm using Windows Vista 32 bit. I don't know what you mean by x86 or x64. Where would I find that?

I'm using a desktop. I wouldn't consider it that old. I only got it maybe like a year, year and a half ago at most? It's an Acer Aspire Desktop

Thanks for the help ^_^

P.S. I thought I'd add this in here just in case it makes any difference. I downloaded the most recent patch for Amnesia to see if maybe this was one of the issues fixed and it was happening before and after I added the patch

This card can barely run the game, make sure you have this installed:

Just to inform you: x86 = 32bit , x64 = 64bit

That sucks :/. Yeah I actually downloaded all that last night and it still gave me problems. Thanks for the help man. And thanks for clearing up the 32/64 bit issue.
