For reference, there’s a thread here with reports of similar issues. The common denominator seems to be folks using GI, GDIA, or both.
I’m pretty sure whatever happened to my toon is permanent at this point, but definitely worth further troubleshooting. Not sure if there are any logs worth looking at?
I’ve figured out how to run Grim Dawn base game only, so I can play multiplayer with friends. To do this, I run from steam with Set Launch Options set to “/x64 /nogdx1”. Can I do this using Grim Internals?
EDIT: It’s entirely possible, I mis typed in my shortcut before posting. It does work.
Create Grim Internals shortcut
Shortcut Properties > at the end of Target after the inverted commas add: /x64 /nogdx1
fixed a bug where GI could crash on startup (thanks @Tuoppi for providing me with a crash dump file)
Dealt DPS list: renamed damage type “Aether” to “Magic” when playing the mod ReignOfTerror
Known issues:
Steam Cloud Save is not functioning properly when you launch Grim Internals!
To prevent possible data loss, disable Cloud Saving (both Steam and In-Game)!
yes GG, i know what you say. But the crackers don’t update the hotfix’s of games. Cause is not super necessary to play the game. So , i dont have the money to buy the original game right now, i want to prove it first anyway. And everyone recommend me to use your MOD. But dont worry, sorry for waste your time. thx
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.
Last night, installed Grim Internals and Full Rainbow.
Followed the directions; both mods worked just fine; character loaded up as normal.
Played for awhile.
Went to boot up today… character is missing.
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.
