I've installed the game on a machine with a relatively fresh Windows 7 / 64 bit installation on it. I've tried running it as an administrator, and compatibility modes, but no matter what, the game quits immediately after starting. Any ideas what I could try, or where to look for a log entry that tells me what went wrong?

All my drivers are up to date, and (according to the OpenGL Extensions Viewer) my system supports OpenGL 3.3.

Thanks a lot!

Launch the game with the "-log" command line parameter, you should get a Grim.log file.

If upgrading the graphics cards OpenGL drivers doesn't help, you can always play the game in Original mode with the Mesa OpenGL software driver.

Thanks a lot, I feel like I'm one step closer to the solution now.

There are three suspicious places in that log file:

(1) During OpenGL initialization, I get a bunch of errors like

[OpenGL] - error fun loop. return hex: 0x00000500 ... string: Ungültiger Enumerant.
[OpenGL] - error fun loop. return hex: 0x00000000 ... string: Kein Fehler

But as it ends with

[OpenGL] - GL fully initialized!

I'd guess that this doesn't cause the crash.


(2) During the initialization of deferred renderers, I get

File not found: x86/shaders/compiled/deferred_light_v.glsl

There is indeed no deferred_light shader in c:\GOG Games\Grim Fandango Remastered\x86\shaders\compiled\


(3) The very last line of the file, and the most probable cause of the problem (IMO):

File not found: C:\Users\mjg\AppData\Roaming\Doublefine\GrimFandango\registry.sav

There's no such thing as a C:\Users\mjg\AppData\Roaming\Doublefine\ folder on my machine; nor is there a registry.sav anywhere.

Re-Installation doesn't fix this, I've tried.

Anys ideas? Thanks a lot!

Try and see if the Software OpenGL Driver works for you.

This way you can verify if the game actually works.
