Whenever I try to start the game, it crashes before anything shows up. Then I get a message saying "Amnesia.exe caused EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module atioglxx.dll at 0023:0674B212, DrvSwapBuffers()+0162 byte(s)

The log says this

Version 1.31

Just confused since I know this computer has run much more recent games without problem.

You most likely have to update the drives for the graphics card. Visit amd.com and download and install the latest available.

Thanks. that seems to have worked
