I bought Penumbra: Overture via the online store download, waited for and then applied the correct patch (just that latest ATI-fix one, no other patches, I understood it that it included all the previous ones), fired up the game and everything works fine. No texture problems, no crashing, nothing. Until:


Right after I climb up and enter the next map, the game crashes. There have been no problems prior to this one, not even graphical ones, I have all the latest drivers for both sound and video and the game itself is a clean installation with just the latest patch applied. The only thing I did out of the ordinary was:


Also, I feel I should add that I didn't experience this particular (or any other) crash before applying the latest patch. I did play the game up to this stage back when the graphics were broken.

Please attach hpl.log, found in "My Documents/Penumbra Overture/Episode 1"

Also, have you tried entering the cave any more times? Just so you know the crash is repeatable.

I sure have. I tried fiddling with various settings or even setting everything back to default with no positive results.

Here's the hpl log.

Patch is updated with fix. Please download again, install and all should be working.

Worked like a miracle, thank you very much for being so quick about it.
