If would help if you were more descriptive about the issues you are having - that makes it easier for the community to give you advice that is helpful and specific to your problem. My guess is that you are having trouble putting the files in the right place. If you are new to mods, this can be frustrating...

Locate the batch files used for launching the game. The below files are included with the mod.
Necrologue_eng.bat
Necrologue_eng_nosteam.bat

The one you need must be in the redist (Amnesia install) folder. The batch file you will need depends on whether you have a Steam or retail version. If you are using a retail copy, you need to also copy the executable "AmnesiaTest131111.exe" to the redist directory. I think the Steam version uses the default executable, but I can't say for sure as I only have the retail copy.

When in doubt, look at the contents of the batch files used for launching the game. Notice that they specify two parameters in their file paths. The first points to the executable, and the second to main_init.cfg. You can tell whether the batch file is in the correct folder based on the file path. You can put it anywhere you want as long as the file path is correct.

And of course, the mod folder "Necrologue_eng" must be extracted to root of the redist folder - do not copy all of the sub-folders. If you end up trying to merge folders...that's bad - don't do it. Do not copy "Necrologue_eng" into the "custom_stories" folder either - that also will not work.

I do suggest re-reading the instructions as they are valid. If you are having trouble understanding something in the guide, it's better to ask as others may have the same exact question.

Hope that helps.

Grr to Moddb for the 5 minute edit limit. I always find my grammar errors the second or third time I proofread my writing - they are completely preventable. It makes me look like I can't English...

The game worked fine for me - no camera issues. The camera should feel the same as Amnesia without any mods. Not sure what settings you are using; it may be worth setting everything in the options menu to default and deleting/renaming the savedata folder to see if that makes a difference. Starting with a clean slate may help. I broke things by configuring options, as mentioned in my post below, but it is a completely separate issue from the one you are having.

Quite a Professional Mod

At the time I wrote this, I was only on the third level (Refrigeratory), but I want to let the developer team know - I love your mod! It feels as if it were an official Product of Frictional Games. The voice actors actually sound like they care (sadly many voice actors lacked enthusiasm in other mods), the graphics were ported to the Amnesia engine quite well from a front-end perspective, and the level design is similar to Black Plague.

So far, I feel this is what Frictional Games should have done with Requiem...you don't cancel a game series on a cliffhanger like that, unless you want to suffer the wrath of Sheldon Cooper. (And yes, I hardly count Requiem as a continuation, although it was fun for the puzzles...would have been more fun going in with a different set of expectations.)

Q/A Report

That being said, I want to bring a few bugs to the attention other end-users and the developers:
- When reading a note, pressing the arrow-key down causes the game to crash.
- When entering the third level (Refridgeratory) with the following setting:
TextureQuality="1" in Amnesia/Necrologue_eng/main_settings.cfg
the game will crash. If set to zero instead, the level loads normally. This applies whether the level is entered from the previous level (Collector), or loaded from savedata though the main menu.

I tried to find the simplest recipe to reproduce these bugs so in the interest of helping the developers in the future if they choose to release updates/ patches (I do realize that 1.2 is marked as the final version). I also hope to save other users the frustration I have had with crashes.
