Full Version: ATI Texture Patch For Black Plague Steam Version
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I purchased Penumbra Black Plague Gold Edition from Steam. I have an ATI Radeon 4850 HD graphics card. I am running the latest 8.12 ATI Catalyst Drivers. I need the 1.0.1 patch to fix the texture issues. But when I install it over the Steam Version the game no longer loads, asking me for a CD key.

When will Steam have the patch available so that they can automatically update their customers? Considering that the 1.0.1 patch is many months old, I'm suprised the version Steam has available isn't already patched.

Thanks for your help.
We had a chance today to examine the Steam version of Black Plague, it turns out it needs some updating. We have submitted the info required to correct BP on Steam, so hopefully an update will be available on Steam soon!

Most excellent. Thank you very much. I can't wait to get back to playing.

I'm curious, will Penumbra: Episode 1 be made available on Steam? Or will it not be, because another entity owns the rights?

Am I missing out terribly, in terms of being up to speed in the Black Plague, by starting in the middle of the series? I've never played Oblivion, though I did download the demo today.
We are looking into getting ep1 on steam. But cannot say anything for certain.

Steam has patched this issue. If the update has not been applied click on File > Check for Steam client updates.

Make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card. Also check so that Catalyst AI is off.

Many Thanks! Turning off Catalist AI... problem solved.
COngratulations... it's a great game Big Grin:
I just bought the Collectors pack on Steam and was having the same pink texture shader issues as 'kpslook'. I can confirm that completely turning off Cat AI fixed the issue for me too. Phew! Thanks! Smile
