post your hpl log. ( C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\Documents\Amnesia\Main\hpl.log )

Also system specs if the hpl log doesn't already mention them. And on a fluke chance try installing openAL (http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/D...Items.aspx) and on a even bigger fluke, in steam right click on amnesia, properties > Local files > Verify Integrity

it's just a text file (called hpl.log.. the hpl part is the name of the engine the game uses, which is named after Howard Philip Lovecraft for memory) that should give more information about the problem. It is found in your documents /Amnesia/Main folder

"ATTENTION: System does not support const arrays in glsl!
Setting up G-Bugger: type: 0 texturenum: 3
ERROR: Frame buffer 'Deferred_GBuffer_Main' is not complete! Format is unsupported!
ERROR: Could not create frame buffer for Deferred renderer type: 0!
FATAL ERROR: Renderer #0 could not be initialized! Make sure your graphic card drivers are up to date. Check log file for more information."
thats the important stuff from it i think, rest is just stats

then idk if this helps but heres some of my actual stats, "Vendor: Intel
Renderer: Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Version: 2.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.2086"

I don't know much about intel chips but since it's a mobile version the problem most likely is that it doesn't have the grunt and/or features required to run the game.
