Cant start the game, don't know where to go next!

[Hellmuthe]

Hi everyone,

I seem to be having the same issue of a non-starting Amnesia from Steam. I've tried to update my graphics but it says that it cannot detect a card and i'm not sure where to go from there. I'll mention i'm not extremely computer savvy.

Sorry if this has been answered.

Here is my HPL log:

You have to check what type of graphics card you have and then install a driver for it.

Hi Jens,

I can't locate my graphics card ( it comes up as Microsoft Basic Display Adaptor in Device Manager, and cannot detect in Catalyst) or how to install a driver. Is this an issue with the laptop?

Did you follow the guide? In step three it says how to check what card you have.

If you have Catalyst install it means you have an AMD card, you should go here to get the driver http://support.amd.com/en-us/download# (they have a tool that checks and downloads the correct driver for your card).
