Video Issues (HP Pavilion Desktop)

[mashcarrot]

Just got Amnesia and everything was working fine, I could hear all the music and SFX, I can access all the menus, all the subtitles and loading screens are visible, but when I try to play the game all I see is a black screen with a tiny white dot at the center. I can hear myself walking and moving if I use the controls and the mouse but I can't see anything. It's like playing the game blind but you can see the menus and subtitles. Help?

I am running Amnesia on a 64-bit desktop (HP Pavilion if that helps).

I'm noticing it says

WARNING: Could not find player start node ''
ERROR: StartPos '' does not exist!

Could that be the issue?

You are refering to a thread for laptops where as I am using a desktop computer. Does the same still apply for HP desktop computers?

oops, my mistake. You need to use the have disk method to update your Intel HD card to the latest version:
