			<description><![CDATA[I have a problem with penumbra black plague, I cannot get past the first cell map, when I go through the ventilation duct when loading the next map the game crashes, I have tried everything, I have tried to change to compatibility, I have tried to run the program as administrator, I have reinstalled the game and I have changed the graphic options to how they were by default, but I cannot find a solution, I have also looked for people with the same problem on this page but the solutions they give them do not help me.<br />
I have also tried to play penumbra overture, and crashed as soon as I got out of the boat.<br />
i tried to do the same thing i did with black plague but nothing works<br />
<br />
I am going to leave the hpl.log file so that you can see what is wrong, for some reason it fails to load the map<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I have played Overture on this computer before with no problems. However, today when I began playing it, I started a new game, and when I finished the boat area and clicked on the door, the loading text came up, I clicked, and the screen transitioned to the outside area. I could not move, so I clicked and upon doing so the game crashed. Black Box came up but failed to load after 23%. Troubleshooters could not identify the problem. I have checked the Troubleshooting page and countless entries of the forum; I have updated my drivers; I have tested each compatability mode; I have deleted, moved, and edited "settings.cfg"; I have verified the filed via Steam; I have changed graphics settings; and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game. After each of these (and more), I still cannot get the game to work. The exact same problem has also occurred with Black Plague. This problem does not exist within either Amnesia game or SOMA on this exact same computer, and as stated it has not existed here previously until today. I have attached an hpl.log for Overture and Black Plague, as well as my system information; game version is Steam. Any information and help would be greatly appreciated, as this is my favourite series and I would hate to be unable to play it again.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi there. Pretty much what the title says: the Hardware Audio Option resets itself in Penumbra Overture. I'd like to use it, because I have a Corsaid Void 7.1 Surround Headphones, and the game it's surely amazing in 5.1 surround sound. But, every time I turn on the Use hardware audio option, it says to restart the game, and after I do so, the game resets the option. A while ago, when I bought the game, I had this problem, and resolved by googling, but I couldn't find the solution this time. I'm pretty sure it's just editing the config file, I just don't know how. Can anyone think of anything? I googled for hours lots of times, but can't find the solution anywhere.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello,<br />
for some reason, my game doesn't seem to display onscreen lines that are supposed to provide you with information about a given object. I'm talking of aiding lines that are displayed along with the eye icon (ex. you're pointing at a lever and you're supposed to get "electricity has to be activated for it to work", without clicking on the abovementioned object), instead I get nothing, so I can't really figure how to get past levels without watching gameplays in order to know how to interact with the surroundings. Basically, it's impossible to play like that. Can anyone please help me?<br />
Thanks forward]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[When I play Penumbra Overture, whenever the dog hunting music appears, it never goes away. I go into another room, or kill it, and it still lingers basically forever. I found the only way to remove it was to get the dog to chase me so that I could cue the "dog chase" music, then kill it, then the problem would be over. <br />
 <br />
However, I am encountering this same issue in Black Plague: whenever a monster appears, the hunting music stays forever. Even getting them to chase me and leaving to another location with that chase music playing doesn't help. I'm not sure what to do. I'm running on an iMac, and I've been able to play other games on it real well with no problems. <br />
 <br />
I also tried getting it on GOG instead of Steam to see if there was a difference, but the same problem lingers. Any thoughts? Does anyone else have this issue? I can't find any threads or posts about it. Any help would be much appreciated!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So I bought the collection a long time ago back in 2010 (when your company was going bankrupt, trying to help developers I thought were good lol) I recently wanted to play through them again only to find out there is literally no way to download the games I paid for or even get CD keys to add them to Steam. My question is, is there anyway to get my games on this sad excuse for a website or is it really as useless as it seems?<br />
<br />
I attached a screenshot of the e-mail order confirmation for proof.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I have Penumbra Black Plague, single game DVD version. I'm running it on a new I7 core system with 16 GB memory, and 6 GB GeForce GTX 1060 card. <br />
 All goes well until I go into the ventilation system, where the program reloads and some game text is shown, telling me to click to continue.  Then the game crashes. I have a 1920 x 1080 resolution screen which is set correctly in the game. I have tried running in the window 7 mode, vista mode,  as well as windows 10. I have tried running as an administrator  and have downloaded the patch that was listed on the  website.  <br />
Does anyone have any ideas?<br />
Thanks]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Is there a way to get 5.1 surround in windows 10 64 bit in Black Plague? I have Asus Xonar DG sound card. When I set the option "use hardware sound" to on, after restart it reverts to off. In Overture there was the same problem but I've used OpenAl Soft dll and managed to play it through with surround sound. In Black Plague though it doesn't work. There is no option to choose open al soft sound device in game options. <br />
