Amnesia Win7 Crashes, demo worked fine [solved]
Hi everyone...

I encountered a problem with Amnesia (Win7 64bit - FG-Download).

The programm crashed immediatly after launching...after reinstalling Graphicsdriver(nvidia) the problem still existed...

I opened the hpl.log and saw something like:
Couldn't open file XYZ...

Simple solution:
Run as Admin. Seems to work, hope it helps someone!
"What is Amnesia?"
"This is Amnesia..."
"HOLY SHIT WTF?!!?"

I always run steam as an admin - not sure if that's a dangerous act, but I recall Mass Effect on steam requiring this, and I've never reverted back Smile
