Failed to load config file

**Thiklol** · 09-14-2010, 08:57 PM

i just purchased this game last night and played through until the part where i need to get passed the door but the poison is blocking the path, i was a little confused so i saved and quit and looked up how to get passed this area.

i saved and quit because when i Alt - tabbed the mouse would stick to the top left of the screen and i couldnt move it. so whenever i wanted to take a break from the game last night i would have to completely shut the game down, which was no problem at all. except when i tried to reboot the game i got the error "Failed to load config file" ive been searching for a way to fix it all morning and have had no luck.

i tried re-installing the game and putting my saves in another folder so i could continue and i got the same error message. tried rebooting my system, checked to see if the game was running in my processes and still no luck at all!

i cant seem to find a fix, not even searching google or this forum.

so if anyone could PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me fix this ASAP i would love to finish this lovely game.

thanks a lot in return,

no one?

please? i seem to be the only person on the planet with this problem

not one thing on google about it

: (

im itching to finish this game.

Delete the settings file in My Documents/Amnesia/ to restore the default settings and see if that helps.

I followed this tutorial and got the same problem. Deleted the dev_user account, started the game to create a new account and did the changes again. Same problem...

Right now this is a real show-stopper so I would appreciate it if anyone could give me a few tips.
