Demo not working correctly - Ophidian - 09-05-2010 Okay, I played this at my friends house perfectly. Got home and tried this on my machine, quite a few problems. The 'frictional games' logo which comes up shows doubles of them, and the same for the logo circle thing which shows when its loading the game (it shows 4 of them). After that onto the game, theres a black screen but theres audio, the subtitles are very off timed also. Have updated graphics drivers, put the resolution and graphic settings all to lowest, reinstalled but no luck. Running on Windows 7 32bit 3GB RAM ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 3.0Ghz Intel Dual core Any help would be great, thanks. RE: Demo not working correctly - Catloaf - 09-05-2010 I'm having the same exact problem, It is said to be a problem with the Radeon X Series. I use Windows XP 32bit Around 2GB RAM ATI Radeon X1650 And a processor with about 2.0-2.6Ghz RE: Demo not working correctly - Thomas - 09-06-2010 Have you tried running the game in windowed mode? RE: Demo not working correctly - TyjanIgarushi - 09-06-2010 I'm also having the same problem as well. I've done everything suggested in the X-series part of the guide to no avail. I've reinstalled the game and my drivers, I've tried graphical settings from the highest my PC can allow to the lowest settings I can select, running it with both fullscreen and windowed. Just like the OP, the Frictional logo and the other logo is stretched and there's doubles of them stretched out and the Loading logo has 4 logos on them. The menus work fine, but as soon as I start the game, the speech is the only thing that goes and the game is horribly laggy. The audio also take s a while to load, so I'm guessing the game is just running VERY low FPS. There's a black screen unless I Ctrl+Alt+Delete, which shows the game and promptly freezes the game when I do so. Here's my Specs (From DXDiag): Processor: AMD Athlon 5000 Dual-Core Processor, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz Memory: 2048MB RAM Card name: Radeon X1650 Series PCI-E Card OS: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.100427-1636) And here's my most recent hp.log file: Quote:-------- THE HPL ENGINE LOG ------------ EDIT: Also, just ran the Graphics Compatibility Test Round Two and everything matched up with the pictures. RE: Demo not working correctly - Thomas - 09-06-2010 The big problem is that the drivers simply are old and outdated. However! I will get myself an X-series card and do my best to get it working. I cannot say when we can have a patch out, but if you register on our mailing list you will know as soon as it is out: http://www.frictionalgames.com/propaganda/?p=subscribe&id=3 Meanwhile there is no known fix I'm afraid. That does not mean that there does not exist one though! SUGGESTIONS: - Turning off all posts effects seem to get the game running. - Try deleting files named inventory_screen_effect_frag and mainmenu_screen_blur_frag.glsl in "shader" dir in the install directory. Make copies first though!! This will disable any effects during menu rendering and might help!

I've been waiting to try this game out since it's initial trailer, and I hope to love it as much as I loved the Penumbra series! RE: Demo not working correctly - JordanTate - 09-06-2010 I have the same problem, running a X1950XTX It seems everyone on these series of cards has the same problem. Turning off imagetrail should get the game running in the game options, (not the launcher options when the game is actually at the menu) but after i encountered another problem. The game freezes when pressing Tab, J, Escape. Making the game unplayable (cant open journal) So try turning off image trail and see if it works (should) and then help me find a solution to this next problem Thanks!

Still freezing, only this time BlackBox opened with a error Amnesia.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module Amnesia.exe at 001b:00470C1E RE: Demo not working correctly - Ophidian - 09-08-2010 Downloaded the game and got the same problem, guess we'll have to wait for a patch or something. |
