Solved: 8 Years, 1 Month ago Bug  Game Not Working Properly

When I launch the game, the titles and menus all work properly. However, the actual environment of the game is just black. I know I have the most recent driver, and I've gone to the Frictional Games support forum to no avail -- I know I'm not the only one with the problem, but we have yet to find a solution.
This seems to have only been an issue after receiving the Justine DLC update, and I bought the game on Steam as part of the Potato Sack.

PROBLEM:
3-D environments appear black. Menus and subtitles work properly.

I'VE TRIED:
- Restarting the computer
- Restarting Steam
- My driver is up to date. I updated it yesterday
- Turning off SSAO
- Running in Windowed Mode
- Setting Windows 7 theme to basic
- Looking all over the developer support forums and troubleshooting guides

I'm not super-good at computers, tell me if there's something I missed or need to give you.

Log says you have Intel HD graphic card, is that so? Because if it is so, you are below system requirements.

Oh. That sucks. I could have sworn my friend had an Intel card....
That must be the problem. Thanks.

Totally sorry, but if you dual boot Linux, I heard the Linux drivers work well Smile
