Running as administrator does the same thing.

It wont let me attach the file, even when copy and pasting whats in it to a notepad. Nvm, I think I got it attached right

It looks just fine. Go to:

C:\Users\-YOUR-USER-NAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\

and delete the folder Amnesia - The Dark Descent or whatever it is called.

There is no Amnesia folder in there. Same rout up to virtualstore but went to Windows\System32 and there is a folder in system32, Hpl.log

"ERROR: Unable to open config file 'config/main_init.cfg'! Invalid filepointer returned!"

that is added to the top of the log.

after trying to run Amnesia.exe (not from the desktop sortcut - this is for launcher.exe) attach us again the file HPL.log found under Documents\Amnesia\Main folder.

Did exactly that and this is what I get, same thing as before. nothing shows up on it.

try renaming the folder Amnesia at Documents to Amnesia-OLD and see if that changes anything(you will have to enter serial again as well settings - do not delete the folder since the saves are in there)

This worked and I was able to finish the game, thanks!
