I had no problems with the old Amnesia even on highest options.

It runs smoothly at first but once the splash screen shows up it starts lagging which gets more intense in the main menu and becomes unplayable when starting the game with black screen for several minutes (probably because it's taking too long to actually come to where you can see anything as it's lagging so heavily) in-game menu takes several seconds to show up and I have to click multiple times to select an option. The sound however runs smoothly without problems.

I am filing a report for AMNESIA : A MACHINE FOR PIGS because it suddenly stopped working on my PC. It not even launches anymore. The version i possess is the steam version.

The exception reason the launcher states is the following:
aamfp.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module atioglxx.dll at 0023:69886A49,DrvPresentBuffers()+11844745 bytes(s) 

I have added the hp.log and launcher.log as well in this thread for further info you need.

My systems specs are:

Windows 8.1. SL
RAM installed: 16 GB RAM
GPU: ATI RADEON R9 200 with 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 running at 3.40Ghz.


Hope this reaches you well and I will be at wait for a positive response about his matter.

Both will not run properly as they crash at anytime the game tries to write to disk. For example this will happen just by going in and then out of options.
I have looked for the logfile in the Documents Folder, but that does not exist, again suggesting a write issue.

I have made sure that all relevant folders have write permissions set for the accounts I have tried and have run executables as Administrator and still no success.

Somewhat frustrated and not very impressed to see both games fail "out of the box"]]>

I have looked around in the posts, but have not been able to find anything that helps me.
So I recently moved to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, installed steam and then installed Machine for Pigs (I got this game many years ago and then it worked beautifully on Ubuntu). The steam application is not saved on the same disk as the game (could be relevant). The SSD I use for the OS is just not big enough to have games on it too. These are the things I have tried so far.
1. I installed newest graphics card drive from NVidia
2. Game is updated
3. I tried deleting "main_settings.cfg"
4 I have not been able to locate the "hpl.log". I can't find it in the steam folder on my SSD nor on Machine for Pigs folder on the HDD

I am running NVidia 550Ti and i5 2400 (I know it is old but it is more than needed for this game)

Would be nice to figure out first where to find the hpl.log first, then we could make some progress mile:

---

Just so it is noted, I have not been able to find hpl.log file, how ever I have been able to find few .log files in the steam folder (see attached). I show both locations with the results of my .log search.

When i tried to launch "Amnesia A Machine For Pigs" an unexpected crash appeared.

I don't have any mods installed, maps, or whatever, just the default game.



I don't know if i pasted this right, or if i pasted the right thing for you to have a look, i hope i did, otherwise tell me and i'll look for it

Thank you,

The Dark Descent was brilliant and had no issues, I'm now about 3/4 of the way through AMFP and there's some bugs, falling through the floor in one of the sewer sections (twice), a door remaining shut when it should've opened (right by where you SPOILER find the creatures in the locked cells, had to restart and lost a bit of progress), and some sound issues, almost going totally silent in places and ruining the vibe.

I don't want to moan (as I say The Dark Descent was great and I also bought SOMA at the same time, waiting to complete AMFP before I start that) but something isn't right and I almost feel like I've paid for a faulty product, can you advise what you can do for me?
Kind regards

There seems to be a really distracting lighting issue with AMFP.
Basically, the brightness of the scenery on-screen seems to be linked to the brightness level of whatever is displayed at the top-left corner of the screen.

So, if you pan the camera so that a lit lamp (or other light-source) is at the top-left of the screen then the entire view is lit extremely brightly, but pan the camera away and the whole display darkens back to normal.

It doesn't seem like an intentional effect, and I don't remember seeing it when I first played the game a few years ago on PC. It creates an unpleasant strobing effect when walking down the corridors of the house, as wall-lights pass the camera.

I'm near the beginning of the game - still in the house, just finished the first "chapter" and passed the loading screen into the second chapter. Hoped the problem would go away when the game loaded a new chapter, but it didn't. Exiting out of the game, restarting, and resuming my current save didn't help, either.

Is this a known issue? Any workaround or fix would be appreciated.]]> Original-release PS4 hardware, i.e. not a Slim or Pro.

The October 21st 1899 note appears to be missing from my game. Generally, it's suppose to be located within the Factory level, on the workbench near the furnace; however, it was not present. As a result, this bug is prohibiting me from unlocking the Master Archivist achievement.

Anyone else have this problem? If so, are there any solutions or workarounds? I really wanted to finish unlocking the achievements.

Music is spatialized in the world instead of playing normally. Same with cutscene sounds. This leads to some very weird audio behaviour and not a very pleasant experience at times. I double checked on the PC version to make sure this wasn't intentional, something must have gone wrong in the port.

Hopefully this is a simple checkbox fix for the sound cues used, because this bug is really off-putting and I'd quite like to play through AMFP again on PS4. Weirdly enough it seems to have a more stable framerate than the PC edition, even if the blue fog is still there

The other thing I wanted to bring up is that there's no option to disable image trails on PS4. Whenever I play the PC version I have them off, because the swimming image makes me feel a little nauseous. Sadly the only setting on the console release is gamma correction. I would really appreciate it if an option to disable "sanity effects" like image trails was added for both AMFP and Dark Descent.]]>

Phenom II x4 @ 3.67Ghz
12GB Corsair ram @ 1670Mhz
R9 380

Which is more than enough to max this game out graphically, and maintain a decent framerate. SOMA runs beautifully (it has it's share of stuttering too, but this one I managed to fix!) and The Dark Descent runs even better, never even stuttered.

I tried the sound streaming fix (which improved the performance but still stutters), I tried RadeonPro to force vsync and triple buffering which had always fixed stuttering issues in various games, I even tried playing AMFP with 1280x720 res and everything low. It stutters exactly the same way. I tried running the game in windowed mode or borderless windowed mode, which usually fixes any stuttering/vsync issues (everygame nowadays has vsync issues, it's ridiculous, games are not tested properly). Nothing, the stuttering gets even worse in windowed mode. Is it that hard to prioritize triple buffering in games? The framerates don't have to be cut from 60 to 30 when it oscillates between 60 and 59.

This game is not demanding and the trouble I'm having in trying to fix it isn't worthy of the money I spent on it. So I don't get it and I'm giving up on it. I regret having spent money on this. I wish I could refund it.]]>
