Hello,
Penumbra Requiem crashes in the loading part between levels 3 & 4.
I've installed the 1.01 patch, I tried to re-install both Black Plague & Requiem and I've installed the latest ATI display drives for my video card but none of this seem to fix my problem.
I don't think that this is a hardware problem 'cause I've played Overture, Black Plague and Requiem (up to level 3) with no problem whatsoever. my PC specification is:
Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz
512MB RAM
ATI RADEON 9250 128MB
I didn't find a solution in this forum and so i ask for your help.
I attached my Requiem's hpl.log
Thank You.

To fix this quickly, locate "decals_hanging_sewergrowth.jpg". It should be somewhere in the "texture/decals/" directory.
Open it in an image editor or anything else that can resize images. Resize it to 256x256 and save. Game should now work.

EDIT: Deleting the texture will work too. But you will miss out on some filth in the map

Way to go man! It worked!
Thank you so much for your quick respond.
I really appreciate it.
