OpenGL-issues with Amnesia

**Berti** · 07-30-2012, 02:26 AM

Hey there.

Recently I bought a new computer and with it I bought Amnesia from Steam. Up til today I've been able to play amnesia but today when I started it, I entered the game with horrible fps.
After a few seconds the screen turned black and I got the message " OpenGL message “lost connection” ".

As I mentioned earlier, it has never been an issue earlier, it just happened today for some odd reason.
I've uninstalled my drivers, reinstalled them and rebooted the computer. I've used the file-integrity check from Steam and the files are okay. I've also tried removing settings like SSAO but still no change and I've also tried going single-core with my graphicscard but nothing changed.

And at last I tried reinstalling the game but nothing changed there aswell...

My computer-speccs are:

iCore 7 3770k 3,5Ghz
Asus GTX 690 4GB
Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB DDR3 (4x4GB) 1600 Mhz
Maximus extreme iv z

And the log from HPL aswell:

So if you can, please help me however you can, since it quite frustrating not being able to play the game.

Oh geez, I've got to be the stupidest person alive.. It seems like the setting Parallax was messing with me, no idea how that could change everything. Not even sure I've enabled it
