Amnesia-The-Dark-Decent FATAL ERROR msg. - Renderer #0? NVIDIA FX5700LE - Buffers?
Installed the game - get to the settings page where you first set up the graphics/video settings etc. - then a Error message pops up stating: " FATAL ERROR: Renderer #0 could not be initialized! Make sure your graphic card drivers are up to date. Check log file for more information."
Can someone help me out?
I mean it doesn't take a powerful computer to run the game - my video card is NVIDIA GeForce FX5700LE. It's probably something simple I am missing - sorry if you guys get these a lot- I searched the forums for some answers but fell short.
I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 32-bit if that matters.

Try lowering the graphics.

Thats about it.

Do you get this, error on the demo.

Downloaded a Driver pack, maybe that will work. Confused
Now I am getting the "Error!" pop up saying; "Not enough drawbuffers supported! make sure your graphic card drivers are up to date!" ... just downloaded the drive pack from NVIDIA.
"The reason is that Geforce FX cards does not support enough draw buffers and therefore does not work with the renderer Amnesia uses." from a earlier post - diff. thread.

Well, if anyone else is having the same problem is me - you know why now.

Yeah I am having the same exact problem. I know I should be able to run this game. Like my graphics card is updated. I went to the website to give it an update and when I checked, it was going to give me an outdated version >_>


So I don't know what to do. I bought this game at Christmas time and every time I try to figure something out, that error still shows up. So hopefully I can get some help. I would like to play and get the crap scared out of me Big Grin

I'm giving up on trying to solve this issue - searched the deepest abound internet sites possible for over two hours - wanted to get the crap scared out of me as well Sad
Apparently Penumbra: Black Plague will work though - will download that here soon..

Requirements are to have a GF 6 or better, so afraid a FX5700 is below requirements.
