I'm having a problem with this game on my old Window XP computer. I have played the game on it before years ago when it came out but now I'm getting this message: The procedure entry point glewlinit could not be located in the dynamic link library C:/Program Files (x86\Amnesia-The Dark Descent\Redist.\Launcher.exe glew32.dll If anyone have an idea what this means or how to fix it please let met know, because I don't have a clue Thanks, Marie

I've only seen a C:\Program Files (x86) folder in 64-bit Windows. See if you actually have a C:\Program Files (x86) folder or if you only have the C:\Program Files folder. As for how to fix it, see if Compatibility Mode helps. I'd try setting it to Windows 2000. If that doesn't help, try uninstalling and reinstalling the game to some location other than C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files(x86) (for example, install to your My Documents folder)

This is a download only game from Steam or GOG and it was released in 2010. The requirements aren't high, but it does need more than a low budget computer.
OS: Windows XP/Vista/7 Processor: 2.0Ghz - Low budget CPUs such as Celeron or Duron needs to be at about twice the CPU speed Memory: 2 GB Hard Drive: 3GB Graphics: Radeon X1000/GF 6 - Integrated graphics and very low budget cards might not work.
I would second Jenny's suggestion to redownload the game. I'd suggest being very, very careful if you have this old XP computer on line though. Since you already own the game from either Steam or GOG, a better idea would be to download to a newer computer that is safer on the internet.
Hands down, the scariest game I've ever played!

If the game is on a disk, then definitely uninstall and reinstall. I guess when I got my Dark Descent, it had gone to downloads - I remember trying to get a disk and I couldn't. I did see that you can still get a disk at Amazon.
Since it's been several years, maybe something has changed on the computer since then. Hopefully, marie has taken it off-line.

I downloaded the game to my computer with Windows 10 and installed it and it launched and I played it for about 5 minutes or so and saved, no problem. I then installed the patch(1.02) for the game and launched the game and got a message: Could not load main init file:conf.glmain-init.cfg. I wanted to patch the game to prevent any problems while playing such as any glitches. Since the error message I went back and uninstalled the game since you can't just uninstall the patch by itself and then reinstalled the game again. I guess I'll have to take my chances without the patch since it's caused the error message and I couldn't play the game. I'll just plug along and hope I can play and finish the game. oldbroad, Thanks you for your kind offer. Marie

I never used the patch either and I've played the game twice with zero issues. Don't know where you downloaded the game from, but it it was Steam or GOG, their games are already patched. Was the patch for the disk version? If so, then it probably wouldn't have worked with the download version. Have fun and don't play in the dark late at night!

I have the disk version also & I'm playing it again right now (just finished the sewer)on my win 7 with no problems at all.

I simply HAD to start a new game myself on my Windows 10 computer! I'll see how far I get before I get too scared to finish it again!
