Unable to Start Amnesia without crashing. - supersoni183 - 07-26-2011
I have the "Blackbox" issue.
I have checked this thread:

After following all of the related steps, i still can't fix this issue.
My drivers are all up to date.
I have a Dell Inspiron 5305 with an Intel G33/G31 Graphics card.

I'm afraid your graphic card is unable to run the game as it supports OpenGL 1.4 but Amnesia needs 2.1
Are you sure your graphic drivers are up to date?
RE: Unable to Start Amnesia without crashing. - supersoni183 - 07-26-2011
The Intel Website says that its up to date.
Let me try updating, but which driver?
G33 or G31?
RE: Unable to Start Amnesia without crashing. - plutomaniac - 07-26-2011
There is no way to play the game with OpenGL 1.4.
By the way, you cannot see text in code tags from mobile

Never-mind, just found this:
http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-028169.htm
States incompatibility with 2.0 OpenGL.
This sucks.
Any Ideas?
RE: Unable to Start Amnesia without crashing. - plutomaniac - 07-26-2011
None. You cannot play the game with such graphics card I'm afraid...
RE: Unable to Start Amnesia without crashing. - supersoni183 - 07-26-2011
*sadness*
Well, maybe i can upgrade the actual card to the G35. Off to the Best Buy Geek-squad counter!
RE: Unable to Start Amnesia without crashing. - plutomaniac - 07-26-2011
This card will not work either. As far as Intel goes only Intel HD cards can barely run the game. If it is a desktop buy a Nvidia graphics card.
