Amnesia from bundle not working

[Stosskraft]

hello all,

I have purchased the latest bundle most to play amnesia. Once I have installed it, I can vew 'tips for playing anmesia' the first couple screens, then it just closes its self to the desktop, with the colours on the desktop a little messed up.

Any ideas how to get this working?

Thank you

What are the specs of your computer? What graphics card and driver are you using? What output do you get if you try to run it from a terminal?

Since you've bought the game, why not ask their support instead?

[Stosskraft]

I have asked them but they said file a report. I thought I was able to ask here also? I was hoping to find someone with the same issue/solution as myself.

James, could you give a way to get this info? After installing from a deb/. I am just booting it from the games menu.

Thanks all

Of course, you can ask here as well, and you're welcome to do so. Just thought their support may come up with a quicker solution to your issue since they know exactly what are the game's requirements in both hardware and software terms. I'm playing the demo version and it's intriguing.

Open konsole type the following commands and hit enter;
To list your graphics card

lspci | grep VGA

To list memory

free -m

To list you cpu

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"

Then try running the command from the terminal and see what output you get.

lspci | grep VGA

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"

These are the outputs I get. Where do you learn these commands? I would love to have access to them.

Yes the game looks great, I am really hoping to play

Are you using the propriety drivers? (if not you can install them by running "additional drivers" from the menu)

The deb should have installed an executable file somewhere that runs the game. Easiest way to find out what to run is to look at what command the menu entry launches - right click kmenu > edit menu > find and click on the game > copy whats in the command box > paste it in a terminal > run it. You can add

[I]command[/I] | tee ~/game.log

where command is the command copied from the kmenu entry to save the output to ~/game.log and echo it on the screen.

The drivers worked. I didnt even realize I had to install the proprietary drivers as I don't play many games. Amnesia is working fine now, thank you
