Honestly I dont know what is that and why I'm having it.

For the errors to go away, first do a local file deletion and then after game redownload, a file integrity check via steam as said at problem J.
Also, reinstall your graphics card drivers and select clean installation at nvidia setup. The opengl drivers might be corrupted.

After doing the file integrity check, do I have to post the hpl.log?
I'm doing that stuff, I'll post the results later

Well after the local content deletion, the game redownload and the integrity check, rename folder Documents\Amnesia to Amnesia_OLD before you try the game again. So basically:
1) Remove local content (uninstall it in other words).
2) Let it redownload from steam.
3) Do a file integrity check.
4) Rename folder Amnesia to Amnesia_OLD at Documents.
5) Reinstall your graphics card drivers and select a clean installation during setup.
6) Restart your computer and try the game again.

Ok, I've done the file integrity check and it says all is ok, I'm goint to rename, reinstal and restart and see if it finally works
RE: Black Screens (not the common ones) - plutomaniac - 02-22-2013
make sure you do all 6 steps at this order and let me know how it goes
RE: Black Screens (not the common ones) - BlackDog - 02-22-2013
I played it for about 30 mins, even exiting the game and then going back into it a few times, because I dont know whem I started a new game yesterday black screens never showed until I closed the game and opened it again, and it worked perfectly, muchÃsimas gracias, thanks a lot : DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
One more thing I'd like to ask, im having a minor problem with the image splitting a lot some times, i turned on adaptative VSync in the Nvidia control panel and I also turned the Vsync on into the game, if you cant fix it I really dont care too much because I'm happy enough beeing able to play it, but if you could tell me which settings are the best, it will be cool.
In moments like this I'm thankful about being able to English xD
EDIT: Nevermind, I've fixed it with another post in the forum, disabling mouse smooth and turning on Triple Buffering
EDIT 2: Dude I think this game is trolling me, as soon as I post this and keep on playing the freakin black screens come back, could it be related to the changes I made on the Nvidia Control Panel?
RE: Black Screens (not the common ones) - plutomaniac - 02-22-2013
Yes most probably. Leave everything at stock at the 3D Settings. Only change the settings in-game, not from the nvidia control panel. So for vsync, only from inside the game. Not every game works correctly with adaptive vsync if it wasn't tested on it.
RE: Black Screens (not the common ones) - BlackDog - 02-22-2013
Done and the black screens keep appearing ;_____;
