[bugmenot]

in home you have a .frictionalgames/Amnesia/ hidden folder, take the hpl.log file there and post it here please. Also you can try to start the game using the terminal instead, that would give you more info as to what might be wrong.

Seems to be some permission problem if it can't read the files, maybe try launching the game as root and see if that helps.

[bugmenot]
