Amnesia Crash - Catserina2010 - 02-09-2012
I got Amnesia over a year ago and haven't played it for a while. Back then it worked just fine. I even managed to beat the game (on the same computer I'm using now). Recently I thought I'd go back and play it again. But now it won't work. I can launch the game just fine. But when I try to start a new game, the screen goes white and it looks like it's loading. When I try to continue my previous game it works for a few seconds, but as soon as I try to do anything, it also goes to a white screen and looked like it was loading. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the game, I updated to the latest version, I even tried to lower the graphics setting, just in case. But if it worked before, I don't understand why it isn't working now.
I've spent hours trying to figure this out, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
I run on Windows 7 professional, and I have a HP 64-bit laptop.

Can you upload your log after trying a new game?
RE: Amnesia Crash - Catserina2010 - 02-09-2012
Never mind. Read that wrong. That was a recent upload, but I can try to start a new game and re-upload it.
Edit: Okay. That's the hpl.log after trying to start a new game[attachment=2532]
Also, while the white loading screen is up, I can hear the game's music. But when I try to click my mouse or type anything on the keyboard it says "Amnesia.exe is not responding"

Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, have you found a way to fix it? I really like this game a lot, and it would really suck if I couldn't play it anymore. D=
Okay. I just tried playing it so it wasn't full screen. And I noticed something that didn't pop up when it was in full screen. Right before the white load screen appears, the screen flashes black and this message appears:
"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. Display driver NVIDIA windows kernel model Driver, version 261.28 stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
Does anyone know what this means?

Try updating the graphics driver, yours is quite old, i think it is this one you should use:

I thought that was fixed, since I went to someone else before, and they told me I had updated my drivers... But I guess that's what you get for going to a college tech center. Thank you so much!
