Cannot create profile and crash - brothertax - 05-10-2011
I can't create a new profile. I've launched it via Steam and I've tried runnining amnesia.exe and launcher.exe as admin. When the create a profile screen comes up, I type in a name, click create, but no names show up in the list. Because there is no profile to choose from, I cannot play the game. Clicking the X exits the game, but the game goes to a black screen, requiring me to ctrl+alt+delete and ending the task. Attached are screenshots and and a crash log.

Fixed my own problem. This can happen if you don't have ownership of your documents folder. Make sure you have full read/write.
