I posted in another thread but I'll post here too as I just read this. I am also having the same issue, I tried to speed up the game for a puzzle by lowering my resolution and the game crashed. I am unable to restart. I am using a Mac laptop, 10.7.5, 2.1 Ghz and 2 GB 667 MHz RAM. Is there anything I can do? I'll try to do some of the things Windows users tried, I'm not terribly computer savvy though.

It's probably not the same issue.

Maybe the new resolution you selected isn't supported by your monitor? Is there any particular error message you receive? An error code?

Looks like the config file has an invalid value for some reason. The config file is a text file that you can edit. It can be found at:
~/Library/Application Support/Almost Human/Legend of Grimrock/grimrock.cfg

The resolution string is probably malformed. It should read something like "1280 x 720".

You can also delete the config file and Grimrock will create a new config file with default settings.

Ok, thanks so much. I'll try that.

That worked, thanks! When I changed the resolution to lower than 1024 X 768 the game changed the resolution to 'nil' which could be why it crashed.
