Every Penumbra game crashes at launch

[KavazovAngel]

Basically, it crashes at launch, and it gives an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at Penumbra.exe and some numbers after it.

My GPU is GeForce 9800GS, on a Windows 7 SP1 x64 system. Everything is up to date (video drivers are 275.33).

Dunno what to do, it worked just fine several months ago.

Here's the log from Black Plague (as an example):

Did you try reinstalling?

[KavazovAngel]

Did you try reinstalling?

Yup, and I get the same crash.

[Tanshaydar]

Is it up to date? I mean, game. Should be 1.1

Yes.

Launch Black Prague again and attach us here the filr HPL.log found under Documents\Penumbra\Black Prague folder if I remember correctly.

Did you even read the first post?

[plutomaniac]

Yes do it again, the log should report errors. The one above does not.
