RE: Can't Play Amnesia !!! (BLACK BOX) - 6maryjane - 10-26-2012
I'm trying to run a mod called disponentia, I can run amnesia, but whenever I open up disponentia and I click on start new game the loading screen crashes and the same error pops up. Not quite sure what the problem is, I have enough space the and amnesia update thing.

Black Box aka a repack of a game stripped of any DRM protection and anything that is not part of core game play. In other words pirated copy.

@above, What is your graphics card and OS?
@darkely, That is not necessarily true. In most cases, it's because of bad drivers or not a powerful enough graphics card (had it happen to me MULTIPLE times on my old computer).

I can run Amnesia fine, but when I try to run my own mod (I checked all the cfgs ad they seem to be fine) it comes up with black box also...

Thinker, check the solution in previous posts. And why did you bump a 2 month dead thread?
