SimplySchizo Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 check your registry. regedit and remove any entries there. that should fix it. search for both 'torchlight' and 'runic games'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REM2000 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Stuff like this is why I prefer buying games with Steam. Although generally good, steam is not immune to these types of problems. I remember having to clear out caches of all sort because steam decided not to play ball one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
