For those who can't load the game after changing settings

[Bruce[wX]]

For those of you having problems with the game not working after changing settings, delete the setting.cfg file. Usually located in... C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserNameHere\My Documents\Penumbra Overture\Episode1. After deleting this file the demo/full version should (notice i said should) default to using the setting from the game's config folder.

I had this problem... took me a while to figure out how to correct it but I got it working by doing this. I recommend gradually increasing settings, to see which settings work.
