[Solved] Penumbra not loading, Critical Error from the EXE! - Kalashnikov - 03-19-2007

Note: I have posted this in the Tech Demo Forum, which I have just realized is not the correct location for it. Same name, different forum. I am unable to delete it due to lack of permissions.

The above, as seen in the "BLACKBOX", is stopping me from running Penumbra. A friend of mine has started work for this company and I would love to give this demo a run through as the videos have shown some really interesting environments and abilities.

I'll also note that the title has never launched and no files what so ever have appeared in My Documents except for the folders themselves.

Please help!

Try updating the video card drivers.

Blackbox is a tool for catching crashes. We use it as a debugging tool.
