Black Screen but game still plays

[plutomaniac]

This is not the one plutomaniac asked for. If you are using Windows, it should be under Documents/Amnesia/Main/ folder.

agree. This is the log from the main Amnesia folder at program files. We need the one found at the Documents folder as Tanshaydar said.

my apologies

Well, the game sees only your Intel gpu and the amd one. Can you disable the intel and leave only the amd present within windows? Read Problem A5 here:

http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-3754.html

Also, this log is not good for us. It seems like the last time you run the game you just went on the menu and exited again. Please start the game and when the problem occurs then exit and attach here(preferably the file and not long text like before) your hpl.log file at Documents/Amnesia/Main folder.

I had this problem in the past when I had an older PC and I tried to play Spiderman 3 (yea ...). The sound was playing and the task manager said it was running. Turns out the problem was my video card and RAM (memory). After I upgraded my PC it worked beatifully.

he already has a dedicated card that works with the game. He just has to make the game run with this and not with the integrated intel one.

See, I already tried disabling the integrated one, but my computer depends on it to do many functions, so when I do that, everything gets messed up and distorted...so sorry, I cannot do that

Go to the amd control panel (catalyst control panel is called) and make sure the default card is your amd one. In nvidia it looks like that:

Thing is with the AMD card, the catalyst control center chooses applications to be used by the Dedicated graphics, and I already set the AMD card to Amnesia. I cannot set a primary card.
