Overture wont start. - Exodus IV - 12-15-2010
hello, i was blown away by playing amnesia, and i had to try these penumbra games.
anyways just bought Overture, but as i click the game to start it on steam, it says penumbra.exe stopped working, and then closes the error window
i tried "delete local content" on steam 3 times now but still the same.
is this a common issue? and can someone help me solve this problem please?
any help appreciated.

Try running the game directly from your steamapps folder.

that works, thank you very much.
is it possible to make the penumbra starter on steam work somehow?
(Nevermind, it works now that it launched from the steam map)

It may have to do with permissions, perhaps steam isn't running it as Admin or something. Not entirely sure.
