Crash at launch (video card ?) - Texhnolyzed - 12-04-2010

Hi !

I bought Amnesia and installed it on W XP and everything was fine.
Yesterday I installed W 7 and now, when launching the game, it asks you your video preferences and automatically detect your graphical card.

Fact is, instead of naming my card close by "Video device", it says "GDI Generic". When I launch the game, it says "Amnesia.exe caused and EXCEPTION_ACESS_VIOLATION in module <UNKNOWN> at 0023:00000000

As it does not seem to display my card correctly, I assume this is why it crashes but I'm not sure.
Drivers are updated to the latest version.

Also, on this first screen, if I click on "Detect", it says :

EDIT :

Ok, someways, I missed to install some drivers. Now it fully works.
"Car is not listed, assuming medium settings".

Can anybody help me please ? :<

You said it works now? What do you need help with?

Yeah, sorry !

I edited my first message to say that finally I made it work by installing some drivers I have forgotten to install. I just didn't see I didn't put my edited sentence at the end of the post.

Sorry for the inconvenience Smile

You can lock the thread or else, if you want to it's ok now.

Thank you anyway Smile
