Graphic Problem

[SicCaveat]

Hey there! This is an odd problem I've been having, I know Windows 8 is known for all of its graphics problems however it is never before /crashed/ a game for me. I use to play Amnesia all the time before I did the Windows 8 preview. I haven't played for awhile, and I decided that hey! It sounded like a good Amnesia night. However when I pulled it up it always crashes. Even if I set it to the lowest setting there is the game freezes. It does this even on high graphics and once and awhile will say EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. I've already upgraded my graphics card and haven't found anyone really with the same problem as I have.

Here's the hpl file,

According to the log you don't have any drivers (capable of OpenGL) installed for the graphics card.

[plutomaniac]

check whether your manufacturer has windows 8 drivers for your graphics card. Otherwise, there is nothing you can do.

AMD/ATI drivers for Windows 8 CP are available here, if anyone is having trouble finding them.

In regards to OP's case, at first glance 4200 doesn't appear to be on the list of supported cards, but I might have missed it.

Well if the drivers are out, they can always be modified (by editing .inf files) to support other unsupported hardware. However, I don't know how to do this with AMD drivers. It is very easy though, a google search will prove that.
