While I love all the QOL improvements from 1.4.0 I think I will miss also Game speed feature and teleport list from GI. Now that I played the game at 1.2 speed I have really hard time to return to 1.0 speed.
GI is still irreplaceable. Devs healthbar is ugly.
GI can continue to maintain the other valuable features not in the patch, and push the frontier with other QoL enhancements, as GG (and this community) has always done. Crate will likely not return to QoL after the patch.
Maybe somebody should make a poll or perhaps GlockenGerda can solicit some feedback from GI users to see if her assumption that āonly a handfulā of people will still want to use GI after the next patch.
Maybe people should be grateful for all the work she did for free and respect whatever decision she makes regarding how she spends her time?

People have been thanking GlokenGerda for her work over and over again in this thread and elsewhere. Plenty of folks have mentioned making donations to her. Itās very obvious that her work is appreciated, and I fail to comprehend how some of us wanting to keep using it for all the other features that you didnāt implement is construed as ungratefulness.
This is the reason that was given for discontinuing work on GI:
Iām sorry to say that, but now that weāll get auto-loot, healthbars and crucible map selection
in the base game, Grim Internals is not needed anymore (most GI users will simply donāt use it anymore).So it make no sense to spend my rare free time to develop/update it any further for only a handful of people.
She said she planned to stop spending time on it because you are incorporating the most famous features of her tool into the base game, and she believes the remaining people who would want to keep using it for the other features constitute too small a percentage of the user base to be worth her time. Now, if she would come right out and say that sheās got too much going on in her life and doesnāt want to or canāt dedicate her time to GI anymore for that reason, then fine. But that is not what she said, so all Iām saying is that if it can be demonstrated that a lot more than the āhandfulā of users she mentioned would want GI to stay up to date for the other features it offers that still arenāt in the base game, then maybe sheāll change her mind and decide itās still worth her time after all.

GI is a wonderful tool for sure with the other QoL it has noone can say otherwise
We should be glad about the game having these things cause it means that they hear this and that when every patch was introduced and breaking it.
I can feel that Glocky is already burnt out from coding and maybe from the game. She been here since 2013? This might be the reason the donation link was removed too
And on the other hand lets not forget Crate team and what they are trying to do
Its NOT THE EASIEST thing to satisfy everyone when making healthbars because of all that customization BUT as i said before about the patch i dont know if it makes me happy or sad
From the one hand Glocky might want to move on something else and on the other Crate knows how useful it was and they SPENT time especially as they mentioned on the UI since coding it was a pain.
And im saying all these knowing how hard it was to maintain the tool and the gameās update since iāve been here too trying to help everyone

Frau Gerda Glocke seems to be a truly decent person, and in my opinion, GI got bigger and bigger and took more and more time to maintain. And now a hell of a lot of people are using it, and it seems she didnĀ“t t want to abandon GI completely for exactly that reason. She didnĀ“t want to let us down.
I donĀ“t know whatĀ“s going on in ger personal life, but Crate including the key feature of GI is probably a blessing for GlockenGerda, for now she can put GI to rest w/o feeling bad about it.
Maybe we can be grateful for all that she has done and just let her be?
LetĀ“s give that a try, that sounds neat.

Learn to read between the lines kid
She says she is quitting and then a little later on she says letās see what happens when the patch comes out and then determine whether GI is sill needed. If sheās just done and ready to move on, then why even say that?
Alas, I donāt wish to draw out and debate the issue any longer. Point has been made.
For the record, I am very grateful for the time youāve put into GI, GlockenGerda, and I wish you all the best if you truly desire to move on and leave it behind.

It looks like my statement has caused a bit of confusion.
With this statement, I wanted to prevent discussions about GI (whether it is still needed or not),
although patch v1.1.4.0 has not been even released; you should first be able to test the new QoL-
Features yourself!
And some things (e.g.: the appearance of the new heathbars) could change in the final patch.
This in no way contradicts my 1st statement that it makes no sense to keep Grim Internals running for only a handful of people.

Exactly.
And letĀ“s keep in mind, that this isnĀ“t Blizzard. If the healtbars are lackluster, people will voice their opinion about it (a.k.a. nagging), and 
will probably make adjustements.
If you read sentences like this:
Then yes, iād argue itās still an ungrateful way to act.
It sounds like, while most of people here are pretty grateful towards the tool itself, no-one really is grateful towards GlockenGerda who spent so much of her Free-Time. Simply āthankingā isnāt the same as being grateful, otherwise you guys wouldnāt ācomplainingā and being entitled, coming with such insane statements like āgive us what we want, as long as we wantā, which make it sound you all have a right to get this tool and she simply should bow to you wishes and not follow her own decision. A real āgratefulā Person would had accepted and respected her wishes and feelings towards it, that she donāt want to continue it and also donāt want to give out her Source-Code. And everyone who wouldāve followed the topic a bit and not only grab the Tool and leave the Topic / Forum, or whine again if a new Update for Grim Dawn comes out, and that tools not updated in the first few seconds, wouldāve seen that there might some weight lifted from her and her personal life with the upcoming QoL Update.(Which than is the next thing which is bothersome about this whole situation, that no-one really is grateful towards Crate for adding major features from GI in the Game, but thatās another topicā¦ so i will skip on that).

@LightningYu one of my fav things to do after a new patch release, is to go in to this thread and read all the ācomplaintsā and āquestionsā why GI is not working anymore. Cracks me up every patch

Yeah, though get kinda angry about that, because this kind of Attitude is pretty disrespectful.
Not saying i donāt understand why people find this Tool so great, because even i, who enjoy majority of his Games as Vanilla Experience, use this tool. But that doesnāt justify such an attitude, and donāt blame Crate for āreleasingā a new Update(and thatās not only crate which face such rantsā¦ i saw it for different Games as well. One might thing people are grateful that an Dev continue to support their game with new contentā¦ but it seems many people nowdays like to rant simply because they need to have a bit of patience for an Mod to be updated, or also in case of grim dawnā¦ translationā¦)
and than begin nagging towards an mod-creator / tool-developer they should update the tool / mod.
Bit offtopic about modding
Well, i like Modding Support and Mods in general, but for me there is rarely a Game where i would argue i canāt enjoy Vanilla Game anymore and need Mods, and compared to the amount of games i have plus modding support, itās actually pretty rare for me to use mods anyway. Skyrim or Minecraft, which are popular examples, i enjoy Vanilla as much as a do with some modsā¦ infact in case of Skyrim the only Mod where iād argue you really should give it a try would be enderalā¦ though thats like an complete new gameā¦
Maybe itās a generation issue?

can someone explain how to get mods to work with steam? I launch the mod and the game from steam but I get an error saying that steam is required and that it canāt find grim dawn. I moved the mod files to the grim dawn folder such as in the instructions and put the folder in the exceptions for antivirus. soā¦ wtf?
GlockenGerda, thank you very much for such an amazing tool. I started playing GD back in Nov 18 and it was recommended to me about a month later. It was one of, if not, THE best QoL add ons Iāve ever seen or used in a game. Thanks again for everything youāve done with it.
- Put the contents of the .zip into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grim Dawn
- Go on Steam and press : Add a game and then the , Add a Non-Steam game.
- Press on Browse and search for the GrimInternals.exe executable in the folder and after clicking on it press on āAdd selected Programsā
- In the steam Library below the Grim Dawn game launcher there will be the GrimInternals,run the game from that shortcut
Make sure Steam is running
I believe iām doing all that. iām launching GrimInternals from the steam library and I get an error saying steam must be running. iām not sure how I can have steam running any more than I am
