Game crashes on Window Vista

[jens]

It might be hard for people to help out if you do not reply their questions.

As Vista is a new operating system its difficult to be certain all configurations will work as they did in XP. The quality assurance of Penumbra ran the game on 5-6 different configurations as far as I know and verfied the game working. It's impossible to tell if the problems with running the game in Vista is related to the game or to Vista itself.

I suggest making sure you have the latest drivers for you audio and graphics card.
Use the latest patch available from the support site.
Run the game with the default settings by deleting the settings.cfg file stored in My Documents/Penumbra Overture/Episode1
Try to lower the hardware acceleration setting for audio in windows, see support site for details. It's an article for XP but I assume its very similar in Vista.

When above is done, run the game and if it crashes go to My Documents/Penumbra Overture/Episode1 and take the hpl.log file located there and post/attach it here on the forum.
