tinyE: Hey, slightly OT, but now that I have an icon for the game and the updater is there any way I can download a pic (jpg gif) and make it an icon file?
Can't you just use the icon of the launcher? Maybe there is an icon to use in the game folder or maybe the executable also has an icon in it (probably not or otherwise Windows would have used it with the link already). I have the Torchlight 2 retail version as well, but not installed at the moment. Did not know that you could bypass the launcher by directly starting the game executable, so thanks for the tip.
Just right click on your link to the executable and go to Properties.
There should be a button for Change Symbol or Other Symbol (dunno exactly because my Windows is in German) in the lower middle part of the Properties window ion the "Link" tab. Click it.
Now chose a symbol or click "Browse" and go to the Torchlight folder and chose one of the executables or the icon in the folder if available.
This is how it usually works with icons on Windows.
