131111 patch won't work but 1.2 will...

[Romulator]

Upon multiple attempts and going through the reinstallation of my retail Amnesia, I am unable to run the 131111.exe patch, however I am able to run Amnesia 1.2 without any flaws whatsoever..

AmnesiaTest131111.exe will open, be a black screen, and the error report box will go up to about 27% and crash.
Amnesia.exe (1.2 Justine patch) will run flawlessly to the Main Menu.

Should there be some specific files or folders I should be looking at to solve the problem fully? HPL.log file on the crash will also only go down to User Initialization.

Also, the 131111 editors seem to be working fine. If you need me to add anything, just let me know!

Well, post what the log says anyway. Perhaps it could help.

As promised, enclosed in a spoiler (Decided to get the Steam version and it does the same thing. Got it because it's becoming a pain to reinstall Amnesia from my retail )

Spoiler below!

Is that all of the log? It says version 1.20 up top, and you said that version was working fine, right? Or is this the log from the patch? It's odd how it just stops at User Initialization. So the game just closes, is that it?

[Romulator]

The updated (131111) HPL.log will always give you Version 1.2 it seems.

The game will open, then be a black screen. Alt-Tabbing out, I can see Black Box has picked up some stuff.

Alright, so from the beginning, this is a clean copy of Amnesia installed through Steam? Did you run the game after installing it to make sure it ran okay? Did you extract the files successfully and overwrite the necessary ones? Well, you said the editors worked fine. It's strange, cause I've had no issues with installing it. I can only assume something was done differently or caused by a hardware/software difference, though I don't see why.

The first one was a retail, but I'm sick of reinstalling it, so I just repurchased it now through Steam.

It automatically updated to the 1.20 Justine Patch, as per normal. Ran it, went through the premenu (I cut my old profile and put it somewhere else to see if making a new profile would work).

I downloaded the 131111 patch from the appropriate page, copied and pasted the stuff over, overwriting everything necessary.

No change.

Actually, now at the bottom of the Level Editor log (which now is not working >.>) , it says it cannot load AreaTypes.cfg. Fixed that Level Editor issue. Still haven't fixed the actual Amnesia131111.exe tho

[Mudbill]

You're still able to run the other Amnesia.exe game itself, just not the 131111 one? I'm afraid I don't know what the issue is, really =/

[Romulator]

I'd just like to say that for whatever reason, reinstalling on another user worked o.0

I have no idea why it did actually. I'm using that one for developing now.
Marking as solved.

(Also, sorry if this is a bump/necro. Just letting you know, even if it is marked as solved).
