Essential improvements
- Upscaled textures.
- Camera mod that allows you to look up and down, change field of view, and more.
- Doesn't work with Grim Dawn version 1.1.0.0 and later.[1]
Correctly launch the x64 version via a shortcut
- Steam ignores the Launch Options parameter when launching a game via a shortcut. To resolve this, add a "/x64" parameter (without the quotes) to the Advanced Launch Options section below Launch Options. Now, manually created shortcuts as well as shortcuts created via Steam will launch the x64 version of the game.

Video
Issues workaround
Anomalous stutter
- When playing the game, the image may stutter, even though the game's FPS is steady. This may be exclusive to the 64-bit version.
Adjust in-game settings[citation needed]
|
- Enable Vsync, triple buffering, and the
Deferred graphics rendering engine. Then set the game to Borderless Fullscreen or Windowed mode.

Small UI at 4K resolution
For 4K resolution, I suggest you open the game's configuration file (options.txt), change the screenMode to a value of 0 (Fullscreen Exclusive mode), and then change the uiScale setting to a value somewhere around 1.2. Now save the configuration file. You may also be interested in a mod for a larger mouse cursor: https://www.nexusmods.com/grimdawn/mods/90 (I'd suggest the 2.00 size or larger.)
