Probably graphic card problem.

I bought game yesterday, wanted to play it in my own, i saw the game on my friends computer. Ok, i put CD, install and yes here comes amazing black box (

i opened support website to read some articles and tips, i found topic about graphic card probles and i saw that i have 1.1 version of open gl for no reason. tried to remove drivers with this program but i get an error in the middle and it gets stuck so i used Driver Cleaner 3. I installed newest avaiable nvidia drivers from website - still the same, reinstall game - still the same, changed some graphic settings - the same. my screen never seen the menu of this game, i turn on, get black screen for 2s and black box. i found strange thing on launcher menu like this : ( http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/513/mmmt.jpg/ )


i have windows xp 32 bit, my card is Gainward Bliss GeForce 9600 GT PCX Golden Sample 512MB DDR3 and some other specifications ( http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/sasasl.jpg/ )




i dont know what to do, my friend have same card but i got the gainward one, he got the asus one. i tried to remove drivers 3 times but i still get an error. after i use driver cleaner 3 i turn on driver sweeper and sweep the rest, reboot, install. i got also this log file, i hope thats all i can say and you will find way to dont make my money wasted. I cant reinstall my windows, i dont want waste my time for some crappy game which cant even work properly.

Install this http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-290.5...river.html . During installation make sure you select the clean install option.

right, im downloading. btw i ticked clean install option before

maybe your graphics card is not working properly or the drivers are corrupted.

[Ayxny]

its the first game i have problems with card, i reinstalled drivers 5 times today. Every normal game is working properly but not that. well good it didnt cost that much

[plutomaniac]

your OpenGL drivers are corrupted. Try question 3: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-11183.html

add the game to nvidia control panel afterwards

[Ayxny]

i think u didnt read whole my first post, i said i did it 3 times

how can i add this game to control panel?

[plutomaniac]

go to 3d settings and then manage. Go to program settings ans select the game.

[Ayxny]

i did it but its not working still

It seems Amnesia is using an Intel card instead of the NVIDIA one, or Amnesia is just screwing up like it did to me :\ (it says GDI Generic in the hpl.log and in the picture, so that's pretty much a giveaway...)

Reinstall the game - that fixed it for me when I got the GDI Generic problem.

You also might want to update the game to version 1.2
