Grimrock

From double clicking the game to run, I instantly get a software failure window. Not even a blackening of the screen to tease me into thinking that the beloved saga is loading :C.

For more information on the log, check the "spoiler" below

The symptoms sound like that the game might have been unable to write a config file. You can check this by going to your "\Documents\Almost Human\Legend of Grimrock 2\" folder and checking if there is a file called grimrock.cfg and if there is, does the file contain anything.

If it's some sort of Windows user permission issue, you could try to run the game as an administrator (or if you play from Steam, the whole Steam client) to see if it makes any difference.

Thanks for the quick reply antti. Just ran the entirety of steam using admin, and it worked off the bat!

Just for good measure, I found the aforementioned .cfg file and opened it with notepad. Here are the contents if it is of any use:
