Sticky guides? sorry i'm new to this site, please elaborate >.<
yeah i looked at them but i still can't find the problem :/
says i have the latest drivers also, i don't understand


RE: Can't start amnesia? - plutomaniac - 04-24-2012

1. What operating system do you have? Also 32-bit or 64-bit?

2. Is it a laptop or a desktop? If a laptop, what model?

3. Attach us the file HPL.log found under Documents\Amnesia\Main folder.

maybe you need to update graphics card drivers too. if youve done that already, it might be your computer that doesnt have good enough specs. i used to have a compaq laptop, and it didnt function due to the fact that i just didnt have sufficient specs to play. make sure you check the specs again, but if that doesnt help the problem, im lost :/

Seeing that it's an ATi driver issue, this topic might help:
