Hi all!
I have a big problem with Penumbra Black Plague. Every time I load a level, the game instantly crashes(exits without any window for error reporting etc.).
My specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 2.80 GHz
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA QUADRO FX 770M 512 MB
I'm playing this on a laptop(HP Elitebook 8530w)
I already installed the patch 1.0.1.
Here is the hpl.log file:

Looking at the log, there are some problems here. First, where did you get the game from?

Also, try a reinstall.

EDIT: Looked after the GPU, supports OpenGL 2.1, so that may not be the problem.

EDIT2: With those many errors, I don't know how to help. Answer those questions I gave you. (Where you got the game from?)

Ok, I'll try a reinstall. I got this game from thepiratebay
On that webpage I think no one has problems like me.
BTW, thanks for help.
