Current version: 0.8.0.5
Mod inspired by Diablo 1 and Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction
Compatibility: Grim Dawn Forgotten Gods expansion (requirement: base Grim Dawn, AoM and FG xpacks)
-
Make sure to re-import RoT database after mod update when using GD Stash.
-
Characters created in older mod versions see 2x Shattered Conclave waypoints after visiting the area. New characters do not experience this issue.
-
Solution: using 3rd party tool such as GD Stash and unchecking Shattered Conclave waypoint will fix the issue.
Donations:
- No donations are accepted for RoT development.
Causes of common issues while playing the mod:
- Incompatible RoT or GD version (make sure to always use the latest GD:AoM+FG xpacks and RoT version)
- Incorrectly extracted mod files (follow the âInstallâ guide below)
- Loading different game mode (base GD campaign, Crucible or another mod) before RoT can result in unability to load certain assets such as tags, textures, etc. Make sure to start RoT as the first game mode if you decide to play it.
- Playing RoT character in other mods will result in permanently losing all RoT related assets (items, skills, etc) from the character and stash
- Only English language is supported by default using any other language pack while playing RoT results in missing tags and quest objectives upon load
- Using incompatible 3rd party tools (example: GD Defiler will remove all discovered waypoints from RoT characters after editing)
New issues since GD 1.3/RoT 0.8.0.4:
-
The Act 2 horadric cube+staff quest now works slightly different due to a change in GD. The Horadric cube is seen as a âconsumableâ, or something, so if you use it to make a runeword or something, before having finished this quest, the game will assume the cube in your inventory no longer exists.
The Fix: collect all pieces (cube, staff and amulet), before using the cube. Once you have all 3 pieces, the quest will change to âmake the staff using the horadric cubeâ. Then itâs safe to use the Horadric Cube and it will count towards quest progress. If you did already collect all pieces, you will have to drop all the pieces and cube, and make a new game and collect them again. -
Baalâs Worldstone Chamber cannot be entered after clearing the waves.
The Fix: For people who have issues opening the portal after killing the Baal waves, type in the following console command: game.teleport -4590 0 -5340 and youâll be teleported into the Worldstone Chamber. -
Crashes causes by Lightning fx spells (Kurast wizard enemies, assassin traps, and sorceressâ lightning) and some object in Baalâs Throne Room. This is probably system dependent.
The Fix: Launch the game usingâs Steam Launch option using the x86 Legacy DX9 setting. This issue is hopefully resolved with RoT 0.8.0.5
Quest fix:
- Download Quest_fix.zip (518.4 KB) If your RoT character has a bugged quest due to a game crash or after playing in multiplayer. All you have to do is copy over the quests.gdd and conversations.gdd files to the character save folder in whatever difficulty you need and it sets your characterâs quest objective to that point.
