Penumbra: Overture mid-game crash - JENS TAKE A LOOK PLEASE

[jens]

Possibly try and reinstall the game and do not apply any patches or changing exes or similar. The game is up-to-date and with everything at its best by default in Steam. Then to be sure, do a check file integrity check on the new game install in Steam.

If you experience crashes, first go to nvidia.com and download the latest drivers for your graphics card. Install, reboot and see if that helps.

If not, then think of 3rd party applications that could interfere. This could be anti-virus programs, 3d accelerated effects in the windows user interface or even the steam overlay. It could also be some sort of misconfiguration in the system files, as you had to run the game as an administrator in order for it to save. This could indicate something else is wrong and not completely fixed by running as an administrator.
