I recently purchased the full Penumbra Collection on Desura and I am having a problem with some of the graphical effects of the game.
While the menus and introductions work as expected, upon starting the actual game proper I am greeted by only a black screen in both Black Plague and Overture.
This can be remedied by turning of the Post Effects in the graphical settings menu, but that makes it so that a lot of the lighting effects don't work, such as the beam of the flashlight, for instance. Lowering the shader settings the medium mitigates this somewhat, but the game is then plagued by numerous graphical errors.
I have confirmed that this is not a problem with Desura itself by playing with the binaries independent of the client, and I have also confirmed it is not a problem with my hardware or my drivers, as a previous version of Penumbra I acquired independently functions as expected. Plus I am well into Trine 2, which should prove to be a much greater graphical stress test than Penumbra.
Which seems to indicate that the problem is with the game itself, which is out of my control.
The version that works is 1.0.2553 of Overture and 1.0.2567 of Black Plague.
The version of the game on Desura is version 1.1.1.
