Game won't load

[ali(g)]

I bought this game yesterday and it won't load. Screen just flickers black.

System specs are:
i7-4790k @ 4ghz
16gb ram
GeForce GTX 780 Ti

Running Windows 10 preview

Just wondered if anyone had had a similar issue, and if there's anything I can do to resolve this?

Thanks,
Ali G

First thing you can try is the "Grimrock 2 Compatibility Test":
http://www.grimrock.net/2014/10/09/grim ... lity-test/
It's non-interactive and just displays the LoG2 starting screen, but it should tell you if the game works on your system.
Any errors are logged to:
My Documents\Almost Human\Grimrock2 Compatibility Test\grimrock.log

If the compatibility test works, please post the contents of the file "grimrock.log" created by LoG2:
My Documents\Almost Human\Legend of Grimrock 2\grimrock.log

You can also try changing a few settings in:
My Documents\Almost Human\Legend of Grimrock 2\grimrock.cfg

This setting is for fullscreen mode:
displayMode = 1

This setting is for windowed mode:
displayMode = 0

The compatibility test gave me the same result.

However, by setting the game to run in displaymode=0 seems to have done the trick. I play on a tv so maybe it's the resolution being a bit different? Anyway here is the log, and thanks as now I can play the game

Setting "displayMode = 0" is the reason for this crash.

displayMode can be 1 (fullscreen), 2 (window) or 3 (borderless window). The game's default is 1 (fullscreen), switching away from the desktop and it seems your TV could either not handle the resulting resolution or refresh-rate presented to it.
