Can't Get Past The Intro - Moondog - 09-08-2010
I've read through the Troubleshooting Guide, installed the latest drivers (and I *think* I've killed off the old ones, not 100% certain).
The game starts up fine, gets me to the title screen, I can fiddle with the options if I want, and all that.
When I go to play, however, the screen goes black, and I get the voice-overs (with no corresponding video), and, about where you hear 'I. . .I am Daniel!", I can see a hall-way and a candle.
Thing is, I can't move, can't do anything with any buttons on the keyboard, if I try to move the mouse to move the camera, the game stops responding for a moment, then responds and MAYBE it instantly jumps to where the camera ought to be.
Is this a driver issue, something similar, or does my computer simply lack the power to handle Amnesia?
Attached are the .hlp, a dxdiag, and, for fun, a link to a video of exactly what happens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpBGNwjTEGE

I'm having the same issue. I fiddled with the advanced options and can get some distorted graphics but that's about it. Nothing appears on my screen at all.

I'm afraid the drivers for the X-series of cards are horribly outdated. There is no known fix at this point
We are working on fixing, and I am gonna buy an X-series card and make sure that it works.
This will take a little while though (do not want to estimate at this point), but I will do my best to have it done asap.

Ah, I see.
I'll look forward to the fix/possibilities thereof, and appreciate the speedy feedback very much.
