Amnesia download problems?

ChloeKilljoy · Jan 7th 2013, 12:11pm

Hy guys, so I'm starting to do some play-throughs soon, and I don't want to buy Amnesia until I get my Mac next month. So I've downloaded the demo version, but it won't run on my laptop? The message I get is :
"Renderer #0 could not be initialized. Make sure your graphic card drivers are up to date. Check log file for more information."
I've tried updating a few things but to be honest I have no idea what it needs doing to it, my laptop has an Intel Core i3-370M processor with HD graphics, it's got 4GB RAM, and I've been told it's a good enough laptop for gaming (I only bought it a few months ago)
Any help?

Well the laptop isn't really good enough for gaming. It iss for low end games but it isn't something good.

Anyway, try updating your video card?

Ah right that makes sense I guess
How would I update that on a laptop?

Find the type of videocard you have and type that into google + driver.

Or go the site of the manufacturer maybe you can find it there.

Firstly, this isn't a download problem? Misleading title :V

Secondly, it's basically saying that your graphics card can go suck it because it can't play Amnesia.

So you either let the graphics card go and suck it, OR help it out. Download new drivers and install and shit.

Following quote is from a thread from the Steam forum.

Try to uninstall the graphics driver, reboot the computer and install the latest driver available from nvidias website. At times the driver installed is broken or appears to lack some OpenGL support, and doing this (rebooting in between is important) fixes it.

I don't think he has a nvidea videocard because it says that there is a HD graphicscard in the laptop.

Yeah sorry just wasn't sure if it had actually downloaded itself properly, or if I'd put something in wrong while downloading it
I've tried updating the drivers for it, I've done it about 5 times and nothing's changed

Basically, you can't run it on your laptop, I guess.

Yeah I saw this and was kinda hoping there was a way around it

Oh well, I'll speak to the guy I'm getting my Mac off and see if he can update it enough to ensure it'll run ok

Thanks for the help!
