Grimrock II crashes upon quicksaving and crystal saving

Post by Obyvvatel »

Whenever I try to save the game by using F5, or whenever I touch the healing crystal the game freezes for a moment and then there's, I don't know, maybe 50% chance that it crashes. If it is important I'm recording the game (video and sound) with Action by Mirillis. It's been very frustrating since the game crash also breaks the video file that I've been recording and I'm unable to open it in any software.

Hi there. Is the recording software recording into an AVI file? If it is, you might want to try VirtualDub to recover the recording. It has some features to handle damaged video files too..

It's recording in .mp4 - at least now, because I've chosen it to be that way :(

You may want to try playing it with mplayer/mencoder. Check out -forceidx option, it helps sometimes for broken AVIs. I don't recall off hand if mp4 has an index or not.

I just checked that it also crashes without recording. :(
