Solved: 8 Years, 1 Month ago Amnesia Black Screen

Hi I recently purchase amnesia through steam and I am having the same problem that others are having. I can start the game just fine but when i actually try to play all i get is the black screen with the white dot. I am pretty positive that my computer can run amnesia and would like help solving this. I'm using a Hp Pavilion dv7 laptop with dual graphic chip sets, one is the mobile intel hd graphics and the other is a dedicated radeon hd 6490m. I running on windows 7 home premium 64 bit. If I can provide any other info that would help fix the problem let me know. Thank you in advance

I use an ASUS U56E laptop, and I'm getting the same problem. I followed the link you provided and did what it said aside from updating my graphics driver, and it still didn't work, so I'm guessing I have to update my graphics driver. I have no idea how to do that, since I'm no computer whiz. I saw the post here: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-9942.html
but I didn't see anything about ASUS models there. Help?

Solved: 8 Years, 1 Month ago RE: Amnesia Black Screen

Hi, I had the same problem, so I did what you said and now the game works. However, I just got a message from my computer saying "The Catalyst Center is not supported by the driver version of your enabled graphics adapter. Please update your AMD graphics driver, or enable your AMD adapter using the Displays Manager."

So what do I do now? Is there a AMD that will support my new graphics adapter (Intel® HD Graphics 3000)?

Thank you!
The AMD adapter I'm using is "Radeon ™ HD 6490M" , I think.

Go to amd.com to find a new driver for the radeon card. Make sure you know what graphics card(s) there are in the computer and then install the latest available for it(them).
