I think playing it through GI is too much trouble with a high risk of stuff still not working properly (due to my fault). So if you want to also play Crucible, you should rather play the mod through the /basemods method. This is very easy to set up, simply follow the guide I linked perviously: This guide I’m talking about.
You current characters would still be saved as Custom Game characters. To port them over:
- Go to Documents/My Games/Grim Dawn/save/ and do a backup of that save folder
- Go into each of your characters folder inside user and rename maps_world001.map to levels_world001.map
- Copy the characters inside user over to main
Copy the contents (transfer.gst and so on) of the folder named after this mod (e.g. Faster Leveling (N)) outside of it (inside the save folder), overwrite everything — Note, this overwrites all your base game stuff (shared stash, transmog)! Therefore the backup!
- Alright, that somehow does not work, you might have to put what you want into your personal stash before moving
- Remove the in-Mod flag of all your modded characters through GD Stash
That’s it, probably. Loading the base game now also loads the mod. If you no longer want to play this way, simply remove the /basemods launch option.
