Amnesia is laggy in certain areas - JoBud92 - 06-02-2011 Hey, Hope you guys can help, I got Amnesia and it runs perfectly on a mix of mid/high settings. But when I get to areas like the lab and the wine cellar the frame rate drops significantly till its like watching a slideshow, even putting my graphics settings low as they can be doesn't help much. Anyone know why and if it can be fixed? I got a Intel i3 2.53 GHz processor, 6GB of RAM and I'm using the integrated HD Graphics with an over all graphics memory of 1.7GB (with the latest driver installed). Thanks in advance RE: Amnesia is laggy in certain areas - plutomaniac - 06-02-2011 1) What operating system do you have? 2) What graphics card exactly do you have? Also, important: Attach us here the file HPL.log found under Documents/Amnesia/Main folder RE: Amnesia is laggy in certain areas - JoBud92 - 06-02-2011 (06-02-2011, 06:17 PM)plutomaniac Wrote: 1) What operating system do you have? Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. And I'm using the integrated graphics on my Intel chip, Intel HD Graphics 3000 I think? And yeah, attached RE: Amnesia is laggy in certain areas - plutomaniac - 06-02-2011 Well your graphics card is not very good for the game. Is this a laptop or a pc? Also, did you or steam(in case you own a steam copy) updated the game recently? Does it stop when you leave the wine cellar?

Yeah it probably isn't, but it runs perfectly in all other areas which is what I don't get. It's on a laptop and I purchased it through steam, the settings are to automatically update it whenever updates are available so I assume the latest update is installed. I left the wine cellar and went back to the entrance hall the frame rate went back to normal and worked absolutely fine. The only areas this has happened in so far is the lab and the wine cellar, it's not all the wine cellar or lab either, when I go explore the rooms it picks back up, but when I return to the entrance of the wine cellar or lab it slows down. RE: Amnesia is laggy in certain areas - plutomaniac - 06-02-2011 Ok, make sure you have this installed and try again: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=20037&ProdId=3231&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20Home%20Premium%2C%2064-bit%20version*&DownloadType=Drivers So steam updates the game. Is there any chance you had started the game some weeks ago, and decide to resume it today? Maybe steam updated the game with the recent latest v1.2 patch and then you continued. I don't think that is the case though because usually that causes crashed and not low frame rate. Most probably is a gpu problem. EDIT: I saw from the log that you already have the latest drivers, so that won't work. Maybe it is the update but I'm almost certain this happens because of your graphics card. Please run the game again and after those low frame rates, quit and attach the log again. The above is from our support thread: Quote:1. Disable performance demanding features. |
