SERIOUS graphics glitch. (with YouTube video) - robtheawesome - 07-28-2012

I am having a serious graphics problem with Penumbra Overture. I posted a video on YouTube so you can see what i'm seeing.

Here are my specs:A DELL Inspiron 546 Desktop, ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics Card, a Windows 7 64 bit operating system, 6.00 GB RAM and an AMD Athlon II X3 425 Processor @ 2.70 GHz.

Amnesia: TDD works fine, by the way. Thanks for your help!

Wow... well if you downloaded it via steam do an integrity check (google it) and do the basic stuff like...

*Update your drivers (mainly the GPU driver but if you want check others)
*After restarting the game does the issue persist?

I tried both of those and neither worked Sad. When I restart the game usually the problem changes, the graphics are glitched out in different places, still really glitchy. I bought the game from frictiongames' website. Any other solutions?

Do you have the settings in Penumbra maxed out? if you do try adjusting them and seeing if any thing changes.

I have them nearly totally minimized. Still nothing....

^No what I meant is try lowering them down a bit to see if that helps any thing. I know I am grasping at straws here but it wont hurt to try :p
