Hi Guys!

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! :)
Syry

hello,
i am stuck also, in the secret mines level. I entered there through a "phase portal" form a dead monster. Here's a screenshot
Image

It happened because i saw my golem walking there, so i thought i was able to walk in here too. So i walked and now i am stuck. I tried teleportation but that doesnt work and i dont think the "ascend" command would do something since its a "lone" random level.

Here's my save, if someone can do something, i would be gratefull. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=35C7LWGF
Thanks

Also got stuck at level 56 after 29.5 hours playtime. Travis' workaround with 'ascend' worked for me as I was in the infinte dungeon.
For anyone having trouble setting Console to 1, here's my settings.txt http://www.sendspace.com/file/m9t6xy, but remember to back up your own! My keybindings may be a bit weird if you don't have a Merc Stealth.
Hope that helps.

If your settings.txt remembers Console:1 and you just can't open the console, it seems to me that you can not remap the open console key. Try SHIFT+ whatever weird keys your language has.
German is: SHIFT + ö and Geldor said on a norwegian one it's SHIFT + Ø.

LOL? Am I the only person that has never seen a dev for a game manually fix one person's saved game file for them? These guys are re-inventing customer service.

I got stuck on the stairs down from level 21 to level 22. I was able to walk back and forth on the stairs but not up or down and couldn't click on the "Stairs Down" glow. I had plenty of town portal scrolls but couldn't get unstuck without using one. Not even sure how I got stuck in the first place, I just walked down and couldn't get back I guess. Anyways that's a place that probably needs to be looked at for the patch.

I left you at the stairs on floor 34 ready to go down
unfortunately the monsters have respawned on floor 35
it looks like the items are all still on the ground though, so you shouldn't lose them

that's some AWESOME looking armor

this is a place the devs definitely need to look at before the patch,
I can see why you went there,
it looks like an entrance to another room, but then you get stuck behind all those rocks
