Grim Dawn - ARPG

Phixsator · 7 Oct 2017 at 20:07

IMHO Grim dawn is fare one of the best games to come out of early access. The only EA game i haven't regretted backing and a solid ARPG. My only hope would be for the devs to work some magic on some of the troublesome areas in regards to performance as the engine did have a few hiccups along the journey to act 4. First bad place would be outside the wardens house. Funny thing though is the game has always performed better on my AMD GPUs than my old and current nvidia GPUs. Dunno what is up with that.

New render for expansion (comes to vanilla also) dx11 enabled and has a 20-50% fps improvement.
I assume a improved minfps mainly.

That would be a huge thing for me personally.. Its only the min fps thats bothering me at times so big applause to Crate if they pull it off. Do you have a link to this information?

Picked this up ages ago and its just been sat in the steam library.

Very addictive little game, have 3 characters sat around 25-35, my duel pistolero is very very squishy, so die loads

Ooooh I didnt know there was an expansion coming, love GD. One of my favourite games.

Definitely a fantastic game, picked it up in last sale, difficulty sits nicely between the ultra casual diablo3 & path of exiles harshness, going to hold a little on the expac as I've so much to play atm, but hoping it gets really good reviews as it sounds like a proper expansion, something we've been starved of in games lately with all the dlc garbage, witcher 3 being a rare exception with the fantastic expansions, particularly blood & wine.

Wait is it coming out today!? I kinda stopped keeping an eye on it's release date, I find it a lot easier just not keeping an eye on these things, waiting for the good stuff is more tolerable this way.

So the expansion is coming out tonight? That's great news, I can't wait to play it!

live before expansion

Rifte · 11 Oct 2017 at 18:13

and its out.....

purchased and downloading.

Haggisman · 11 Oct 2017 at 19:03

This is currently £6 at GOG

Fishbait · 11 Oct 2017 at 19:23

Le sigh. Just patched (well, not a patch, it is gog after all...) & trying base game.
Plenty of crashes.
Crate recommending "/d3d9" to fix it, stalls game entirely.
Will try again some time tomorrow.

Just bought in the steam sale, only found out about game last week, I'm excited to play

Fishbait · 11 Oct 2017 at 19:41

Just noticed, steam has put base game lower than anyone else.
Surprised Humble hasn't done a sale.

They've also got the crucible discounted too, though GoG beats them on price by 2p

It's a shame that they haven't had GD on GoG Connect, I wouldn't mind having a GoG copy.

2p eh? So if I purchase Crucible three times, I can use that 6p to buy a plastic bag & get a penny in change?
Winner!

Started an inquisitor, Not sure how the cunning requirements are going to be for the guns though.
