Penumbra: Overture 1.1 Black screen

[hero1900]

hi when i launch the game i will end up with a black screen with nothing until i kill the process
here is what i get when i start the game. owh by the way i use ubuntu 11.04 have nvidia 8400 GS graphic card but i dont think its the issue its related to libraries thing

Code: (Select All)

/home/nadeem/Downloads/desura/common/penumbra-overture/penumbra.bin: /usr/lib/libCgGL.so: no version information available (required by /home/nadeem/Downloads/desura/common/penumbra-overture/penumbra.bin)

Those "no version" warning always occur with nvidia's CG library. It is simply because they don't explicitly specify a version. e.g. everyone sees those.

Can you send me your HPL.log file (~/.frictionalgames/Penumbra/Overture/hpl.log )

mmmmmmm
here is the content of the file. it seems that the game unable to change resolution. but what is the solution maybe i should try to reduce my resolution to see if it will work

that is odd.. you can either remove the ~/.frictionalgames/Penumbra/Overture/settings.cfg or edit it in a text editor to change the Screen resolution.

owh i misunderstood the game setting indicate that the game will start in that resolution and full screen
when i looked into the setting file and change the full screen to false the game started but the mouse will not be in the game so i want it to be full screen.
