I had a stucked lev.23 Alchemist, but I successfully save it.
Here is my solution for the problem, but I will use other people's comments from this topic to give a full view. (So thanks their help too
I hope will work for everyone. (I have Windows 7 RTM 32bit, ACER Laptop)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start Menu -> run
Type %appdata% and press Enter
Then browse to 'runic games\torchlight', there should be a 'settings.txt' file in there.
I changed the following lines:
CONSOLE :1 ----- Now you can activate the Console
KEYMAP_PAUSE :0 ----- Disable the Pause command (originally 13 == Enter)
KEYMAP_CONSOLEKEY_PRESS :13 ----- Pressing Enter will open the Console
KEYMAP_CONSOLEKEY_HOLD :0 ----- Disable the key-holding command, so you can use a single button to open Console
Important:
CONSOLE NOPAUSE :0 ----- do NOT change it! Or you can't pause the game.
Changes in game you will see:
Everytime you "Pause" the game with Enter, the Console will come up too.
After:
Start the game and load up your character.
Open Console with Enter (game will be paused).
Type 'ASCEND' and press Enter.
That should pop you up a level and hopefully you should be un-stuck.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game will make a default 'settings.txt' everytime you remove it and start the game again.
So I deleted my 'settings.txt' to test the changes again and it worked for me multilpe times.
Good luck!
