And this is partly why Gerda doesn’t keep old versions of her tool. Also from the Q&A for the tool.
"Disclaimer
To edit the GrimInternals.ini file open it up with any notepad programs you prefer. Also keep in mind that PIRATED versions will not be supported "
When you have a legit copy of the game then I’m sure she’ll be happy for you to use her tool. And Crate will be happy to see you back here when you do.
Hey… didnt quite see my issue listed here:
When I installed Grim Internals… I forgot to turn off Cloud Saving in-game.
Googling the issue, I discovered that my Cloud saves could be found in the STEAM folder. I tried copying + pasting those into the local GD files… but when I load back up (after turning off Cloud saving), the character still is not listed at startup.
Any suggestions / advice would be much appreciated.
This isn’t actually GI. It doesn’t do anything with character files. But, make sure you have the cloud turned off both IN STEAM and IN Grim Dawn. Copying the files over into your GD main/save folder should do the trick after that. If you want to make sure to always have a back up as well, I’d recommend turning on OneDrive and have it keep a backup of the GD Main/Save file. That way you’re not technically using Steam cloud/GD cloud but you’ve always got a back up to fall back to.
Or not since OneDrive is also known to muck about with saves.
Ive done this and it changed nothing, unfortunately.
Steam Cloud in the ‘Updates’ tab of the GD section of STEAM is unchecked; in-game Cloud Saving is unchecked.
Im not sure what gives. Literally the only thing thats changed has been my installation of Full Rainbow and Grim Internals.
You can try
but whether it’ll work or not …
Really? Huh, crud. I’ve never had an issue with it. But I’ve also only ever had to restore once about a year and a half ago so my n=1 isn’t that significant.
Maybe it’s better if you’re using it for cloud saving. I’ve just heard it can screw up saves; @powbam probably knows more.
Only used this mod a couple hours and liking it so far but (yes, there is a but, sorry ! 
) … There is two things I noticed and not sure if it been talked about before, after all there is over 5k posts and a bit to much to read through to find out so here goes.
When moving items from Inventory Bag to Smuggler Stash using SHIFT + Left Click the item just disappears, it does work when playing without Grim Internals. Also, it works if you doing it FROM the Smuggler Stash to the Inventory Bag, so a bit strange behavior. 
I do have Grim UI: X-mod installed as well, for larger stash space. Would that possible interfere with the SHIFT + Left Click function when using GrimInternals ??
Then I also noticed when playing the game through GrimInternal exe, the Time Played/Last Played in GOG Galaxy is not counted, unless you happen to trigger a Achievement, then the Time/Last Played gets triggered. I know this isn’t that important, but thought I mention it incase it hasn’t been before.
I do apologize if the above have been posted before but I’m afraid it is way to many posts to go through to find out !
Thanks again for such an awesome mod ! 
This is another case, which I cannot reproduce, unfortunately!
Weird!
Edit: Has anyone else seen items disappear when using the Smuggler Stash?
If so, I will remove the GI download link until I find a solution to fix the issue.
I haven’t tested it yet, but I assume it’s because the GOG version contains no DRM,
which means, if you start Grim Internals (which loads the Grim Dawn.exe) GOG Galaxy didn’t take notice of it, so the time played is not measured by GOG Galaxy.
(I hope I made it reasonably understandable.)
Sadly I can’t do anything to fix this issue (without investing a lot of work).
Yeah, it is a bit weird it working one way and not the other. To bad it seems to be a random thing though, since you couldn’t reproduce it.
Yes, you made it understandable ! It also makes sense in the way that when an achievement is made, the GOG get triggered and shows the lasted played time at least. Can’t recall if it did add to the total time though, my bad there. I keep an eye on it when next achievement pops up.
I’ll also try and start the game by using the Grim Dawn exe directly, want to see if that effects the GOG Galaxy launcher or not, since as you said, it is not a DRM bound game, so should be able to start without the Galaxy.
Edit: Yup, starting the game directly through the Grim Dawn exe does not affect the GOG launcher, still says I played the game an hour ago, and not a minute, so most likely that’s how it works by using the GrimInternal launcher as well. Ahh well, at least that explains it ! 
Thank you for your speedy replies ! Much appreciated !
I still cant access my old characters 
Im not sure what to do. Grim Internals really shredded my vibe for this game.
Have you followed this tutorial?
If yes and it still doesn’t work, enable cloud save again and don’t use GI.
Thanks for the info! So I don’t need to test it by myself!
been using the § that is on the left side of 1 for health potions before i swapped to grim internals, but apparently that’s the hotkey used for the “console”.
is it possible to disable/change they hotkey for the “console”?
Are you playing a custom mod?
The main campaign doesn’t have the console enabled and GI doesn’t change this behavior.
No, the hotkey is hardcoded.
You can use AutoHotkey script for that. Set potions to P in Grim Dawn Keybindings and run
script.ahk
`::Send {P}
I see, to bad
yah, we playing custom some hair mod one of the other guys wanted to use of some reason
@ tqFan
would have wanted to avoid the hassle of ahk in one game after coming from poe, guess i will have to :<
Is there an Icon for grim internals? Where can I find one if it isn’t available?
? .exe has an icon.
