Damned

9heads Game Studios |

You’ll be able to play as one of the four people that got trapped inside this haunted hotel. As a survivor your main objective will be finding your way out, as well as helping your fellows get out too. You’ll often find yourself on the edge, hearing and seeing ghostly things, trying to find keys and items to help in your escape. And sometimes you’ll find yourself running desperately from a monster, who’s there only to hunt down and kill you and your friends. You’ll also be able to play as the monster. You’ll assume an ethereal form, which you’ll use to haunt the survivors, triggering eerie noises and events. You’ll also assume a physical form, which will allow you to hunt and kill the survivors trapped in the hotel. It’ll be your killing spree. Minimum Requirements: - Processor: 2.0+ GHz (dual core recommended); - Memory: 2 GB RAM; - Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2000+, nVidia GeForce FX 6 series

"Couldn't find a valid render system!Press any key to continue..." is the error I receive when I start the game. Absolutely no idea where to go from here. Have tried everything I can think of. :/

Open "setup.cfg" under "C:/ProgramData/Damned/Config" with notepad and change the resolution there to one matching your screen.

Hi I have the same problem, after restoring my computer system due to a piece of nasty malware i cannot play the game.
Couldn't find a valid render system error appears.... but when i check C:/ProgramData/Damned there is no longer a config folder!
Any help would be appreciated. :)

Don't worry I have resolved the issue. :)

EDIT* Don't worry I have resolved the issue. :)

Could you tell us how you resolved it? Because I'm still having the same problem.

I haven't been able to play this game since August 10th. I'm really becoming fed up with the situation. This is really incompetent on the creators part. I've followed all of these instructions and have found no solution to the problem, hell, some of the support information has been beyond innacturate since I don't even have a C:/ProgamData/Damned folder, and can't even find a config file within the install area within Damned folders inside of Desura.I've exhausted absolutely every option, potential fix people have mentioned, and still, nothing, and I've followed them all to the last detail. And I've done this off and on, for over a month.

I don't get it. This is such a shame, because the game concept is great and fun, but there is terrible programing or execution somewhere. If this isn't fixed soon, I demand a refund. Unacceptable, absolute unacceptable.

Axeman, this is how I solved my problem...:
Go to C:/ProgramData/Damned then find the config folder and change the resolution.
If you cant find the config folder then do the following which helped me:
1.Uninstall the game from your system
2. Delete the Damned folder in C:/ProgramData.
3. Reinstall the game
4 Verify the files and it should work! :)
P.S If you cant find the C:/ProgramData folder, you need to enable show hidden files. Hope this helps :D
