Amnesia Demo Won't Start - reconrey - 12-21-2010

When I try to launch the Amnesia Demo I get an error saying:

Amnesia.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module <UNKOWN> at 001B:00000000

How can I fix this?

And are you using openGL for your graphics?


RE: Amnesia Demo Won't Start - reconrey - 12-21-2010

I think I am using OpenGL, but I'm not sure.


RE: Amnesia Demo Won't Start - DIGI Byte - 12-21-2010

try using your on board graphics card, and see if that changes anything


RE: Amnesia Demo Won't Start - reconrey - 12-21-2010

What do you mean?


RE: Amnesia Demo Won't Start - xiphirx - 12-21-2010

I'm afraid you cannot run Amnesia. You have an Intel graphics card that does not support things that the HPL2 engine uses.

Oh ok...well that sucks...
