[split] Misc off-topic from troubleshooting

[jens]

GregS728 can you please post the hpl.log from My Documents/Amnesia/Main so that we can see what card it is it works on (there are many different Intel). It would be helpful, thanks!

Sorry if I can't post here...
But I can't get it to start launching past 85% before it crashes. It kept telling me there was no disc inserted into the drive. So I updated my drivers for my video card and that problem went away. Instead it loads past 54% and now stops at 85%. I don't know why at all. It says Amnesia.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module <UNKNOWN> at 001B:00000000

When I ran the game, the game crashed. There is this blackbox that appeared and says " Amnesia.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS _VIOLATION in module <UNKNOWN> at 001B.00000000 "

What was wrong?

Integrated graphics from Intel are below requirements to run the game.

[Zephyr8965]

Okay, I'm having a really frustrating issue with the game. I have an NVidia 420M which is a hybrid video card using an NVidia dedicated card and an Intel Integrated. I can't disable the integrated because the cards are linked so it shuts off all my graphics. However, nomatter what I do, Amnesia refuses to use the NVidia card. It shows the video device as the intel integrated (which obviously doesn't work, renderer #0 error like everyone else with intel). I've set my preferred graphics card to nvidia in the nvidia cp as well as adding the launcher and executable for the game to specifically use the dedicated and it still uses the intel. I was able to run the game before with no problem, it seems to be when I updated the driver that this problem happened, but updating the driver fixed issues I was having with other games, so I don't want to roll back to the older one.

Thanks for any help you guys can provide. I'm hoping I don't have to wait for new video card drivers that may or may not fix the problem. x.x

Missing Steam Overlay. I am attempting to participate in the ARG and my steam overlay is not working in Amnesia. I am running it through wine for Steam and it keeps reapeating this message in console.

No idea really, running amnesia in steam that is running in wine is not something we thought of, so don't have any suggestions on what could be wrong.

ya only thing I have found is that when the steam tab is suppose to run it apparently creates a minidump instead of launching.
