Penumbra always stuck on low graphics despite settings - Mahkoe - 03-17-2013

I can get Penumbra working just fine in Linux, but since none of my other games work in Linux quite yet, I'm usually in Windoze most of the time. However, every time I want to play Penumbra, I have to reboot and go into Linux. Why? Because despite my settings in Windoze, the game looks like it was made in the 80s. (Check the attached screenshot)

I'm sick of going back and forth every time I want to play this game.

I'm using Intel HD 3000 (yes, I learned my lesson, next time I buy a computer it will not have Intel graphics)

Anyone have any possible solution?
