Black screen after cutscene - toni112007 - 10-01-2012

Sorry for posting in Amnesia forum,delete it,i dont know how Sad...

Hi all im new,I have cheap shitty gpu Intel gma 3100 on Windows xp sp3 with newest drivers from intel.com



I downloaded demo of Penumbra Black Plague...

I tried turorial it worked fine till sneak part when freezed.

I tried playing game without tutorial but just after cutscene loading,screen would not load

it remains black whole the time...i cant really do anything except alt+ctr+delete



I know this must be posted by someone else but im newbie here i dont know how all stuff works here..

I posted this because some people claim that they managed to play all Penumbra series on gma 950

which is crappier than gma 3100...So i was intrested if anyone manage to fix this black screen?

Please some advice,and dont tell to get better gpu...If i could get better one i would not post here.

Thanks here is my hpl.log

That card's weak, and it supports OpenGl 1.5, which should be enough.

Looking at the log, you have a massive wall of errors. Where'd you get the game from.

Try a re-download. If the demo works, the full game should.

A possibility. If that re-occurs, I don't know what that may be.

lack of shaders maybe, gma 3100 has 2.0 pixel but 0.0 vertex shader Sad

That may be the problem. Have you also tried messing around with the effects in the options menu?

I could run Fear on lowest setting 1024x768 without lag average fps was 30-40

This game use more complex graphic than Fear?

I don't know, honestly. But I don't think so. The difference is that Fear ( I think) uses DirectX, while Penumbra uses OpenGL (Intel cards are bad at this).
