Grimrock

Ok, I restarted everything again, and this time steam did a little update, and now it seems to work. Not sure what the problem was. Also, I think these Grimrock games are optimized fairly well, because even though the 310m is an old card both this and the original Grimrock run fairly smoothly. I'm u...

Installed the latest drivers, no improvement. Not sure what else to do.

Hmmmm, I guess I'm suspecting my Nvidia optimus thing. Trying to play this on a laptop at the moment, and it has given me problems in the past. I'm running windows 7 64 bit intel core i5 2.40ghz 4gb memory 3.79gb useable nvidia geforce 310m (1gb) My driver version was old, even though windows was te...

Nope, seems fine. I have verified the game files, though sometimes it doesn't even get to the menu and I get either the cursor with only a black screen and music, or just the loading screen with no music and no cursor.

The longest I've tried to wait is ten minutes, I guess I could try waiting longer if you think that will work, but when I start the task manager up it does say that Grimrock II is "not responding."

Ran the compatibility test just fine, and the first menu loads up, but when I start a new game it sticks on the Loading... screen with the key and I have to start the task manager to shut it down. I'm launching from Steam. Any ideas?

Yeah, I have it too. I don't think it does anything, although I could be wrong. I just stuck it on my mage for the heck of it.

Yeah, I've run out of torches recently and it's become a little creepier, especially with all the shuffling spider sounds.

I also need to experiment with some spells as I am getting owned by some spiders and my best offense scroll I found was only the basic fireball.

Actually I think if normal keymapping is used, normal "qwe asd zxc" to cast runes and "space" to launch spell would work better for us who want to keep other hand on mouse. My idea is that those keys would work that way (instead of normal moving buttons) only if mouse is over sp...

Perhaps at some point in the game it could be exploited, but if it's not a game breaker I would like to be able to cast spells and maybe shoot arrows through grates/gates. I just tried to throw a poison cloud through one and injured my team because the game treats gates like walls. I mean, it's a po...
