crashes, patch won't instal

[zakmazeng]

So, you tried penumbra in windows anid it works fine on at box? ( my Mac pro dual boots into Linux only and the drivers in linux are much better than the ones on os x)

---

Have you tried lowing the shader quality and seeing if the game crashes?

no not on windows but in windowed mode (or non-full screen), but I didn't realise I could download the windows version as well, so I will do that and try it under bootcamp on the same computer.

And yes, I lowered the quality and it made no difference.
I do have two monitors but also tried with only one connected and that didn't help either. main monitor res. is 1600x1024
videocard is NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT with 512 mb

the saga continues.
