Penumbra Overture crashes

[uuberfinboy]

The game crashes soon after getting started, first it looked ok but there was a lot of texture problems: a missing wall and floating windows, a map sunk into a table and things. When I started looking around and touching things the game crashed!

CPU specs:


Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0Ghz
Ram 1.2GB
ATI Radeon 9600 PRO 256mb with latest Catalyst update

Reinstall the game and make sure that you have updated it with the latest patch as well as the drivers for your graphics card.
Also, make sure you have turned off motion blur in the options menu.

Works perfectly now, thanks!
