Frictional Games Forum (read-only)

I use vista... and I did not know when downloading the game that the installer from what I can see doesn't even support vista. Absolutely hilarious. Now I am sitting here digging through the internet trying to find a fix. This is what I get for buying a game online. Is anyone else having the same problems, or possibly can find a fix?

Please contact GamersGate at support@gamersgate.com

And wait 2 days before they get back to me giving me the run around with directions I already followed on their FAQ? I'll just resort to other methods.

I just saw someone else with the exact same problem. Syptoms:


When you try to install Penumbra: Black Plague

A DOS window pops up for about a second and goes away.

Thats it, nothing else. Trying to reinstall it now... I bet you everyone with vista is going to have this problem if you buy Black Plague from GamersGate.

Thats the exact thing that happens to me, but we can get any help here. It's not the developers responsibility. I would think that its the publishers, paradox, but since a few days ago gamersgate recieved the rights to it. So I don't know. GamerGate doesn't seam to have a good complaint system. No forums. I suppose mabey Paradox could send us the files if we email them the order form that GamersGate emailed us, but probolly not. I guess we'll just have to wait.

Yeah the other guy is hopeless.



Isn't that picture hilarious? Ahahahaha....

lol, yeah. I think they might of left out a step.

Lmfao...so ridiculous...

So, by any chance were you the other person who voted it 5 stars before you played it, like me?
