tried it, don't work, installed PhysX, don't work too

Well something is wrong with the drivers, so there is the problem and how to fix it can be very specific for the situation. I don't really have any further specific advice.

oh, well, okSad

no the game does not require PhysX but OpenGL. Do what I told you here:

i told you a OpenGL version, its 1.3, i fixed openGL by myself, because the OpenGL on Legacy 10.2 TOTALLY DON'T WORK, they f*cked it up in this version, so, i fixed a OpenGL, its version 1.3

i have Legacy 10.2 currently installed

OpenGL 1.3 is not enough for Penumbra. That's why it crashes.

hmm, well, i guess, i need a new driver, but i prefer official ones, anyway, i will download a OpenGL driver separately, which version Penumbra requires?


RE: Penumbra overture black screen after first cutscene - plutomaniac - 07-18-2011

there are no OpenGL drivers. Your card must support OpenGL 2.0 add above to play the game. If the program I gave you reported OpenGL 1.3 then you cannot play the game.


RE: Penumbra overture black screen after first cutscene - nightquaker - 07-18-2011

Nevermind, i fixed it and my card is support a OpenGL 2.0
