The patch does not automatically find the correct installation path. your installation path should be something like
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\penumbra overture
I have the steam version. I did NOT switch off auto updates on steam, just installed the patch then completed the game. Setting everything to minimum / off in the graphics and sound options did not help, deleting the settings.cfg did not help. I have a Soundblaster X-Fi and nVidia 8800GTX (so no ATI card). Since the patch overwrote the old install I have no crash log to post.
Thanks. Patching the game manually seems to have worked.
