Penumbra will not start... - emmalong - 10-06-2011
Hi, so I bought the Penumbra Collection and went to play it on my PC but it won't start! The installation went all good, I think, but when I click to play Penumbra an 'SDL_app' window appears with a white screen, then my screen flickers black and nothing happens... apart from my comp freezing.
Details:
- Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium
- AMD Radeon HD 6450 graphics card
- And yes I meet above the minimum requirements for this game
- I have installed OpenAL and this game is patched to 1.1 by default
My hpl thingy:

If you bought it through steam do a file integrity check otherwise reinstall it. If it still doesn't work attach us here the hpl.log file.

Reinstall the game, try to launch it and if it fails again attach me the hpl.log file again from Documents.

run the game and attach it again. The previous one seems to be incomplete

I load the game in 1024 x 768 resolution, I even tried to lower it, but the same problem keeps happening
