Did you install any driver? Also, posting your hpl.log under Documents/Amnesia/Main

Sounds like you have an integrated graphics chip from intel, go to downloadcenter.intel.com and download new drivers for your chip model.

Attach us here the file HPL.log found under Documents\Amnesia\Main folder. If you have an Intel HD card then we can help you. All the other Intel cards are useless.

I'm having the same problem. Game worked great on my old computer but not on this new one. I followed the advice already given. But when I went to install new drivers from intel, a message popped up telling me I already had installed the newer versions of the driver. So... what now?


RE: black screen - jens - 07-08-2011

Could be that the new computer does not meet the requierments. Check what graphics chip it has and what the requierments are for Amnesia.

attach us here the file HPL.log found under Documents\Amnesia\Main folder. What operating system do you have?
