Amnesia Black Screen when load gamesave?!

**stewartps** · 08-18-2013, 10:06 AM

Hello, i was really enjoying Amnesia, i switched it off to get some sleep and i woke up, loaded my gamesaves and then nothing! Just a black screen, its weird because i can hear the charter and lamp noises in the background. One thing that i have notices is when i create a new gamesave all of a sudden, there isn't a black screen! its really annoying me because i had got to far in my gamesave (the one with the black screen) im afraid i will have to start again.

I Have tried all the basic things such as verifying game cache / integrity
Checking for obvious solutions such as the brightness

I Still dont know....

Thanks for reading

Ill post the hpl file in the games directory. Im seeing that some candles dont exist?

Spoiler below!

You can try to load an earlier save using the main menu. But not sure there is any as you only played part of the first level, which in itself is very short.

If the game is from steam, do a file integrity check as mentioned at the troubleshooting guide.

Its a great game, I remember playing through the whole thing a few times, Restarting shouldn't be to bad ^^

As Jens said, your save game is at rainy hall which is the first level and also a sort one. If this happens every time after your computer sleeps I advise you to reinstall your graphics card drivers and make sure they are fully updated.
