Exception Access Violation - phattline - 05-11-2012
I just downloaded Amnesia off of steam, and it consistently crashes every few minutes. I went through the troubleshooting thread and couldn't find this specific error. I did try setting my graphics settings far lower than they should have to be set (I have a GeForce 9600). I wanted to try running it as administrator (I'm using Vista 64-bit), but since I'm running it through steam I don't know if that is possible. If it is I haven't figured out how. Unfortunately, there are not any drivers for my graphics card that are more up to date than several years ago because Microsoft doesn't care about 64-bit. Anyway, I got an error report from something called Blackbox. This is what it said.
Exception_Access_Violation in module nvoglv32.dll at 0023:6976DCB5, DrvPresentBuffers[]+87845 byte
I've attached the error log from Blackbox. Also I read a similar thread and they requested the hpl log from amnesia also so I've attached that.
This game is awesome and I really want for it to stop crashing because it really kills the vibe for me. Any help would be appreciated.

Go to nvidia.com to download new drivers, then install those drivers.

I bet that if you made a crash handler that told the user to either upgrade his drivers, or that his old graphics card wasn't supported, then you wouldn't have to answer all these threads.
