Grimrock

Just a heads up for any OSX/Linux users who might bump into this issue...

During the last few days, some Legend of Grimrock players on OSX and Linux have had the game crash within the first few seconds of opening the game, with an error report that says "C++ exception". This has something to do with the Steam Overlay (an update to the overlay was included in the latest Steam Client patch which might be related to the crash) and we're still trying to figure out what exactly is going on in there and if there's something we can do about it, but in the meanwhile you can work around the issue by disabling the overlay from the game's properties in your Steam Library.

Carry on

Thanks for the heads up. I had this problem yesterday on OSX 10.10 but thought I'd probably broken something myself.

Must be a pain having to go back and fix LOG1 when you're hard at work on LOG2.

Valve confirmed this is a problem with the new Steam client. We have to wait until the new client is released and disable overlay rendering meanwhile.

I'm subscribed to the daily Steam Beta updates but this seems to be fixed already. I am running Grimrock on my OS X laptop and using the Steam overlay again.

Nice, thanks for the heads up!
