![]() ![]() I'd love to interject here to detail what Torchlight II is about, but honestly, despite having watched the introduction twice I couldn't tell you a single thing about it. And I'm left wondering: am I just playing them wrong? Taking out purple-level bosses I hadn't really noticed I was fighting. But this time out, I found myself often barely paying any attention at all, and doing just fine. I can't imagine a way they could be all-consuming, considering how little there actually is to be doing at any one time. I've always played action-RPGs while doing something else. ![]() As much as I expected to gently sink back into a nice few days clicking through this 2012 game, it's felt a bit like a slightly annoying chore to do in the background while I finally get around to watching Mr Robot. And I've found myself feeling an enormous distance from them. Is this heresy? It feels a bit like heresy. At the time of its release, I confidently declared TL2 to be the better game, and yet one seems like it's still the dominant title in the field, and the other like a retro feature idea despite having most recently been released three months ago.Īnd my conclusion? Having replayed both a bunch in the last month, I still prefer Torchlight over Diablo! But, um, well, I'm not sure how much I actually like either. A wondering that probably reveals a damning lot, since Torchlight II was actually re-released for Switch, PS4 and XB1 in September this year, and I didn't even notice. With Diablo III continuing to be so popular, the same game finding a new audience and fresh buzz seven years on with its Switch release last year, I wondered if Torchlight II could do the same. I feel like I'm having a sort of ARPG existential crisis. Setting lines to the following in local_settings.txt would force it to windowed with a small res, just as a test to see if it would launch for instance.Past Perfect is a retrospective column in which we look back into gaming history to see whether old favourites are still worth playing today. we could tinker with the local_settings.txt file (also in documents\my games\runic games\torchlight 2), as that's where the game graphics settings are stored.Ĭould either delete the file entirely (so it would create a default copy on launch), or play with for example switching it from fullscreen to windowed - I can't test (and wouldn't rule out, if it applies) but could it be an ultra-wide monitor resolution causing it, or something else related to sync with the monitor for instance? I'd start with a full install of the DX package I linked to before moving to uninstall a Windows update, then maybe if you can the ogre.log from the documents\my games\runic games\torchlight 2\ folder and (if you're up for it) the nfo from msinfo32.exe to get a better overview of the whole system. I don't like uninstalling Windows updates (though I had to do it on one of my servers last week, coincidentally enough) however there was mention in another thread elsewhere that an update (KB3091424) from MS might have replaced one of the DX9 DLL's in the Windows folder. That's a full installer (so everything gets rewritten), not a web-based (which will only reinstall missing components). ![]() And you're likely on the right track, but the rest may be experimentation to see if it can be resolved.įirst up, I'd see if you installed the following: I do wish we had the devs still, who would ordinarily have worked with you to fix this. ![]()
