Amnesia black screen problem...

[IovelenoTenebrae]

Okay, so... Some days (or weeks xD) ago, I bought Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I installed it and it didn't show any errors, but when I try to launch the game, I see a black screen. I don't hear any music or anything, and I have to restart my computer.

So, I searched how to fix it and I saw I had to update my drivers. I did it and the same happened (at least I could press alt + F4 without having to restart my computer lol), and when I launch it again, it says "Last settings crashed the game, returning to default settings", something like that xD

And here I saw the problem. My graphics card is a S3G VIA UniChrome Pro IGP.

So that means that I have to buy a new graphics card to play it? Is there another way to fix it?

Thanks for the help :3 And sorry if my english is wrong at some parts xP

The list that you found hasn't been updated since 2007 and it refers to Frictional Games previous game series: Penumbra. Judging from the name of the graphics card you have, it must be ancient. Attach us here the file HPL.log found under Documents\Amnesia\Main folder but in order to play the game you need to buy a new graphics card.

It is? I thought it was from both. Well, Penumbra doesn't seem like it's working, either. Lol

Here's the HPL.log

Your graphic card is ancient, you cannot play the game as it needs at least OpenGL 2.1
