Okay so I know this was covered in the integrated graphics thing about the missing screen or whatever, but I did that for Amnesia and it now works perfectly (that game scares the pee out of me.) Now, I bought the whole Penumbra pack on steam for 4.99 while on sale, and I get a white and fuzzy screen... I have done the post effects thing but it makes my game look so awful it's unbearable, since the Have Disk Method doesn't work for these game, what do I do to fix it?

Intel HD do not support the Penumbra games due to extremely bad older Intel opengl drivers.

Okay so there is no fix for Penumbra like there is for Amnesia? Is there at least a way to make the screen not so white looking? It looks slightly scarier due to not knowing what the heck is going on, but it might be worse if I could see blood and stuff...

try changing the graphic settings to the lowest possible and then test each one to see what causes your white feel of the game.

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU!!! I CAN SEE!!! In honor of this man, I lift my... Uh... Mouse... In the air!

I think Blur is causing this as far as I recall

Another thing that's off of this topic, what does Penumbra mean? Umbra is Shadow in Latin (my name means Silent Shadow Assassin in Latin), so does Penumbra mean something shadow? Also, about Amneisa, that game was originally called Lux Tenebras and tenebras is similar to tenebrae in Latin which means: darkness, night, unconsciousness, death, blindness, dungeon, haunt, the lower world, ignorance, and obscurity (which makes complete and perfect sense!!!). Sorry if these are stupid questions, I just wanted to know...

Penumbra = A partial shadow, as in an eclipse, between regions of complete shadow and complete illumination.

Ah, now it makes sense... I had never heard of Penumbra other than the Umbra part being shadow so...
