Problem with lights - Kegler - 03-15-2015
Hi, I have encountered light bug in amnesia.
I've seen many people had the same problem (or somewhat familiar), but Halofix fixed it for most.
When I am moving character camera, borders of screen is dark, it changes "Spot of Darkness" every time I am changing my looking spot.
This makes the game a little unplayable
My specs:
Win XP SP3 32bit,
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.40Ghz,
Radeon 9600/x1050 series GPU (128 Mb VRam, Shaders 2.0 DX 9.0c),
1GB ram (2x512 DDR1) + 2048 Mb System Swap Ram,
System req is okay, FPS in-game too, but this bug ...

Make sure you have the latest driver installed from amd.com and it might help.

But if all ok, can it be the operating system? This game might be run with 4 gb and nvidia driver card/amd,make sure your driver card is updated,

Download and install the latest legacy Catalyst 10.2 from AMD.com. It should work on low settings with no glitches:

Game seems to have more FPS, but lights bug still appears.
Less often though. :/
I'll try to upload a screenshot or video of how it looks like, it may help a little.
PS: I've ran game in window mode, light bug almost disappeared, Game seems playable like this, but it doesn't look scary like that...
However, my GPU resets and finally stops working, when there's no Light bug. Thats odd..

Could be an issue with the settings in the catalyst control panel, for example the setting "Catalyst A.I." could cause strange issues and should be turned off. This was years ago, but since you run old hardware this might still be true in your case.
