Download Link?

Post by djrikki »

Hi,

I recently purchased LoG through the Ubuntu Software Centre, however I am using this nasty Netbook that only has 1GB of RAM and maximum resolution of 600 pixels high - it just flashes when opening and does nothing but exit. How on earth do I find a download link so I can install on my iMac instead?

I'm not too sure about how the Ubuntu Software Centre works, but did you get a game key when you bought it? If you did, you can install the Steam client on your mac then see if you can activate the game through Steam.

I think you're going to have trouble playing Grimrock on that computer anyway.

You can play LoG on resolutions below minimum spec BUT to do this you need to manually edit the "grimrock.cfg" file. Still you need to be aware that while the game itself works you will encounter problems with the menus because they are made for larger resolutions.

Well, please keep nagging with this problem... the missing capability for complete resolution independent rendering has catched many people already...e.g. non-standard multimontor setups ;P (viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4649). Hope at some point the priority for fixing this will be high enough.

Also, please report bugs here: v1.3.7 Bug collection

If it were "many" it would have been modified ages ago.
