I hope this isn’t viewed as spam. There are no ads on the site as of this post, or plans for any in the near future.
I made the site on a whim at 4am this morning, out of frustration which turned to elation due to my victory over the crashes, and sluggish FPS that were haunting me.
The various bits in the guide helped my Grim Dawn experience evolve from a crashing/freezing/low FPS mess at medium graphics (love the game though), to a game running at 60fps+ at all times, max graphic settings, with zero crashes/no freezing.
I may need to use a different domain name as Valve/Steam censored the domain, heh.
I’ll add design to the site when there is time. Who knows, maybe it’ll turn into a larger thing over time, to help players fix crashes/bugs in recently launched games.
Feel free to share suggestions, tips, and whatever else.
This doesn’t do what you say it does fyi, game supports multi core out of the box. Some people claim fps improvement from this, but most seem to claim nothing at all changes and occasionally people report instability after changing.
Also another tip tip, seems a small subset of nvidia users have had success downclocking their graphics cards to fix freezing/crashes. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense given they don’t need to do it for other games, but hey it’s seemed to work for a decent amount of people
Thanks! I was a bit suspicious of that item as well. I’ve marked dubious information. In the future we can put in a system for others to comment on a specific item for discussion, for this and future games.
I have played since December with zero issues, and with everything cranked in the video settings. The game looks great, and I feel very little heat coming out of the back of the GPU, if any at all.
Last night I started up the game, and I was stuck at a black screen, but I could see the cursor and hear the crickets and stuff chirping in the opening scene. I went to the Grim Dawn folder and used the “repair” option, and it worked. What sucks is, that it reset everything in my settings completely. So, I had to go through fix all that, but it seems to have fixed the problem. Its just weird that the game did that after having zero issues. I am not sure if it was a problem with an update from steam or what, but I got it going and thats what I wanted.
It very well could just been an oddity related to the latest Steam debacle pushing a buncha updates to all kinds of games, which I believe were C++ redist related, and that may have caused a bit of wonkiness with your game.
Repair just resets the game to defaults and it comes in handy for these kinda problems. Takes like 30 seconds to redo em and maybe a restart of the game to set it back. Nothing major.
