Black Screen on map load

**Kevo the Chav** · 12-29-2010, 02:57 PM

I got amnesia for Christmass via Steam and the problem is everytime I click new game the loadig screen pops out .After it's loaded a completly black screen appears and I can't evern ctrl+alt+del so I have to reboot.
I tried tweaking the grafic options and turning post effects off but to no avail.

You know if the game resolution matches your monitor resolution? I remember I had a similar problem on another game because the resolution was too high for my monitor.
