Text in menu messed up...very confused

[jaybone347]

When i play amnesia it works fine, but when i go to options all the text has missing letters and same with the text in custom stories, and choosing profile. Also when i try to click on graphics in options, the game crashes with the error:

Amnesia.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module Amnesia.exe at 0023:0055DDA0

Please help me.

I've got a problem where the text in my game doesn't show up consistently (hints, subtitles, etc.) and the menu is extremely blocky. All of my comp specs check out, but I'm still having this issue. Here is a link to some screenshots of my problem:

I've checked the troubleshooting pages and have been unable to find anything. Thanks for your help!

Probably you have corrupted graphics card drivers or their OpenGL part at least. Make sure you do a clean reinstallation of the gpu drivers first.

I've gone through my systems and updated video drivers and it always tells me they're up to date. Any idea how I reinstall gpu drivers?

You have an old laptop Quadro card. These cards are optimized for professional applications and not gaming. Most probably the Quadro drivers have bad OpenGL support or similar. Normally such cards are not supported but try changing the graphics settings or using Quadro modded drivers for gaming which can be found around the web.

[ResurrectedBones]

Alright, I'll try that. But why would the game run perfectly fine, and only the text is screwed up?

[plutomaniac]

Why exactly I don't know but it's common for graphics corruptions on games when using Quadros as their job is not gaming like GeForce.
