A bit of an odd occurrence (I would imagine) - RainbowDash - 09-14-2011
Ciao everyone! So I have recently purchased my own copy of Amnesia from a local game store. My issues is, after installing it (disc version), I was not given a "main" folder within C:/Program files(x86)/Amnesia. The game itself works fine, but I've been attempting to run the level editor and I can't seem to accomplish this. I was told in order to make it work from the disc version, I'm suppose to put all the contents of the hlp_yadayada.rar into the "main" folder. This is a problem since... well I don't have one. The editor won't work when put inside the redist folder, or the base Amnesia folder. I have downloaded and integrated the necessary plugins, my computer is completely capable of running the game. The error I usually get when trying to run is:

most probably you installed the editor in the wrong folder. Make sure you read this:

Yes I... read that a few times. Regardless it says nothing about folder placement but still, the issue I want to deal with is that I do NOT have a "main" folder. the only thing in the folder "Amnesia DD" is the redist folder. That doesn't seem right. Also, against your solution, I have put it in every possible folder I could. I make sure to troubleshoot as best I can before annoying people with my problems ^_^

You have to extract the archive at redist folder, this is the main folder of the game. After that it should work just fine

Yes yes, that's what I figured. If it was that simple I wouldn't be here, as I've done that a few times over again. hmmm...

Sounds like you have an older version of the file. Does your game include Justine?

Googled' working on the update now! I'll report in with the outcome ^_^
I had no idea there was an update. xD

It's an expansion for Amnesia released some time ago.
You need to check your publishers website to find a suitable installation for your game, 1.2 from Frictional site won't work for you.

Wait... D: Where am I suppose to download it from then?!
I bought it from a gamestore, the most I can see is that it's been picked up by THQ. O.o

This should work I think.
