Okay so GOG is fixed per Crate but what about steam? Thats where this whole thing started. I just tried loading GD and it’s the same issue. Character screen shows but it’s zoomed in so you can’t even see the buttons. All you can do is spin your character around with the mouse.
I fiddled with screen resolution and display focus and got the buttons to show but they don’t click.
that’s a settings issue usually
Either your monitor settings got mismatched to game settings, or it’s a windows dpi issue.
You can often fix it by either resetting the options file, or if that doesn’t work change your windows dpi (i don’t remember the default amount, i think it was something below 200, 125? but legit unsure) - alternatively correct display device might need to be manually re-selected (like if you had/have a tv hooked up etc)
You can reset your options by going into the game install folder and using the repair. exe then just redo your settings when you boot the game afterwards
Other option is to set your display resolution manually in the options.txt in your settings folder
*keep in mind resetting settings resets cloud option, so it can make your chars “disappear” temporarily if you were playing with cloud option off before, toggling it back off in ingame options and restarting game should then fix that
Okay so every time I want to play GD I have to spend an hour farting around with this stuff? I have no clue how to even start on your list here, I’ll screw something up for sure. Meanwhile every other game I play (including steam games) works just fine on my new gaming PC.
Also note that GD worked just fine and then it didn’t. I posted on Reddit and got told crate was working on it. That got me here where I saw crate fixed the GOG issue. Meanwhile this whole thread started because others had issues with steam not GOG.
So (1) this is only a GD issue and (2) it’s a new issue. So why the is this my job?
i think you’re mixing stuff up?
a, the issue in this thread was fixed, that fix was uploaded days ago on both Steam and GoG, as you can see by the relevant comments
b, your issue is not related to this, because yours wasn’t a start issue, but a mismatched setting or resolution issue, as per your own comment…
^this is not the game not “loading” - which was the other folks’ issue
That’s why your fix is different, it’s a “known” issue that is local to your system, which can for instance happen if a TV was hooked up (hence the specific comment), or just other settings switches, causing a resolution or scale change; which is why the fix is changing settings back in most cases.
And if it’s merely that it can be done simply using the tool in your game folder. The devs can’t fix that for you since game and system settings are individual…
right click grim dawn in your steam library, “manage” → browse local files, click the repair tool in the folder that opened/scroll down until you see the repair.exe
