Re: Grim Fandango ini-settings for older computer?

Hi again. Tried a new thing. Tried the unofficial datauser.lab in 2.0 using both cores (normal-mode) on my laptop. It makes it not that very smooth. Then again in energy-saving setting, extremely slow, massive stuttering. Then i tried Nitro's experimental build with datauser.lab. Everything is smoot...

Re: Grim Fandango ini-settings for older computer?

This is what happened. I started it together with freetype6.dll that it requested, but this time it was also missing zlib1.dll, that i luckily got already due to the link you earlier gave me. And it all works!! Cutscenes are smooth, game-movements smooth... and grinning teeth in place! All in softwa...

Re: Grim Fandango ini-settings for older computer?

Thank you for letting me know, and for the rich amount of info. I downloaded all the correct dll-files. Everything seems to work fine. (But ofcourse it did not affect Glottis teeth and Olivias head). I tried Grim-Mouse Version 6 whose specially compiled residualvm.exe was made before 2.0, but after ...

Re: Mouse interface for Grim Fandango (Fan made mod)

Thank you for the information provided that gives a good overview of how to hack it on ones own. A bit of a pity though that there seem to not be any precompiled binary left anywhere in cyberspace, if anyone would just like to have a quick look at it. At some time when i have a normal internet conne...

Re: Grim Fandango ini-settings for older computer?

Re: Mouse interface for Grim Fandango (Fan made mod)

Yepp. There is even a request on Reddit after grim-mouse. It would be nice to see this. Does anyone anywhere still have a link/copy of it? Its just a few mb's in size, right?

Re: Grim Fandango ini-settings for older computer?

Hi and thank you for replying. I wrote to this forum on a small phone, and i agree that some of the things where not very clear. Lets take one thing at the time here; What I intended to do should however be clear as it is summarized in the topic definition; Running GF on some slow/older laptops, (si...

Grim Fandango ini-settings for older computer?

Is it possible to change something in the .ini in order to improve performance on a laptop that do not have great cpu/gpu? I think of, in "Software"-mode primarily. (Btw I tried a tweaked OpenGL.dll for GF Remastered, which do not work well, but it makes the videos play flawlessly smoothly...
