Penumbra GMA 3100

**musi_mm** · 10-23-2009, 07:34 PM

Hi guys!

Got a problem. When I hit a key to skip the intro (after choosing a new game, difficulty etc.) game gets a black screen and freezes everytime I do it. Sometime I hear only music in the background, sometime it looks like game has already begun. It seems to hear a rustle/noise of the gameplay.

I'm running onboard GMA 3100 on Gigabyte G31M-ES2C. Got newest chipset driver, visual c++ redist., newest framework etc. (maybe I missed something important?)

I think It's not typical problem cause I saw clips on YT showing gameplay on that chipset. Also saw that at friend. So please, help me Wink

Greetings from Poland.

I am not sure your card is supported, but to make sure post the contents of hpl.log in "My Documents/Penumbra Overture/Episode 1/"
give that it is Oveture that you tried.

Hmm ,cannot really spot an error.

Try installing latest patch
http://support.frictionalgames.com/entry/77/

Also does the game crash? Cause u never said anything like that.
How do you quit the game?

**musi_mm** · 10-25-2009, 08:52 AM

Already patched, didn't work.
Game doesn't crash, it freezes only, you can easly quit to windows by Alt+Tab. The only thing I see is black screen and sound of the game in the background like I could play but don't see anything. Tried pressing keys for running, jumping etc. in hope to hear footsteps and so on but...nothing.

Damn, whats wrong Big Grin

Gave a shot to Black Plague. Started with a tutorial and worked fine, so quickly stared new game and the same as Overture (black screen) but couldn't go to windows (reset). Started tutorial again, worked, got through the steps of the tutorial and game freezed in some moment. In the beginning it seemed that whole game stopped and only reset would do the job but no, I could easly quit to windows by Alt+Tab.

Strange, when u run Black Plague, shaders do not seem to work. This must be some driver or card issue.

**jens** · 10-27-2009, 09:30 AM

The 3100 is not really supported but the card can run the game. But it is quite difficult to make it do it, you really have to make sure you have drivers that are fully functional. It might be that the drivers supplied by the motherboard manufacturer does not work, or it could be that Intels drivers from their website does not work or maybe you will need to get an alternative driver if those are available for intel chips as they are for ati/nvidia. If you got your latest drivers from Windows update, you can probably be quite sure they won't work, they usually are not very up-to-date.
