Common Questions and Issues!

Where does the game save in Steam?

%ApppData%/Roaming/runic games/torchlight/save

How do you get down to level #30 in the mine? I get as far as level (floor) #28... but when I go down the stairs looking for level (floor #29) I end up in 'The Lost fortress'. And though there is a door at the end of the 'Lost Fortress'... it will not open!

Name of Quest I am trying to finish is "A Quest fo Glory" which tells you to go to level 30. Frustrating Also... anyone "Rescue Syl" yet (another quest)? What level in the mine is Syl located?

Another quest that seems to elude me ("The Shimmering Deep") suggests the the area is under water. Is there a magical item that allows a search in the water?

I am new at gaming and apologize for all the questions. My character is now level 38 and I am having difficulty trying to solve the above mentioned quests.

Thanks

back away from the door and check.

Thanks so much for the screen picture. I don't know how to make a picture like that... BUT... the levers I see in your picture... are NOT in mine??? Did you have to do a certain quest to get the levers to appear? Is frustrating but I'll not give up. Thanks again for your trying to help.

If you advise me on how to print a screen shot like yours, you will see the same room... but no levers.

I have the same problem, and I took a screenshot of it. I died while fighting the boss, and chose to restart from town. When I went down the stairs located on floor 28 I wound up back in this room, but with no lever to pull as shown in the screenshot. Also there is no boss to fight and the exit door will not open.

I tried restarting the game also, but that failed to fix it. I installed with "Torchlight12b.exe".

Wow... though I hate that you also have the same problem... I at least know it is not just me! Hopefully this will soon be resolved and thanks so much for your reply.

My character is at lvl 28. Having a blast so far but the loot stacking on the ground is quite possibly one of the most annoying and aggravating things I've come across in over 20 years of gaming. seriously I'm having to collect garbage I don't want to get to the good stuff and then open my inventory and drop all the crap I didn't want. Of the many game elements taken from the world of diablo, the loot scattering when holding down ALT should have been on the list. (but props on the auto gold grabbing)

Also, whoever was responsible for the gem art in the inventory needs to go back and fix that mess. Something a bit more visually identifiable when it comes to gem quality would be nice.


Other than that, no major issues. I really dig the game and it runs on nearly max graphics settings on my HP notebook with an intel T7700 CPU, integrated ATI mobility Radeon 2600 graphics, 2 gigs ram and windows 7. It's smoking fast on my rig at home (sig).

I just want to repeat an earlier question, are there going to be any new content updates, or are future patches only going to be for functionality updates and bug fixes, etc?? I tore through the game at a quick pace with my initial character and will do so again on one or both of the other classes, but I would really like to see more content. You guys did a great job on this game, I have really enjoyed it.


Edit: Would like to add that the game ran really well for me and I had very few performance issues, even on an older system, just some chopping on the final boss fight because so much on screen.

how hard is it to put a SAVE button somewhere?????????????????????????????????????????????
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nightwolf]

why? Game is automatically saved...

[Jaded]

OK I have a seperate post but Ill ask it here as well:

When you die it states 1) Respawn here and lose X amount of exp and X amt of fame. Taking this option results in fame loss but no exp loss. I assume this is broken?

[Jaded]

Also...

My character as well as my daughter both have a random electrical AOE proc (lightning that chases down enemies when you get hit) even though we have no such ability and no item or skill that would give such ability. I noticed it started happening on daughter's char around level 20. What is this???

[Pluto]

what happens when you die? can you lose items? and one more question: how many character saves can you have? is there a limit?

*edit: well i'm lv 32 now and beaten the "end" boss in floor 35...
figured out when you die 3 options come up, you can lose nothing if you choose to respawn in the town, some gold if you want to respawn at the beginning of the floor, or fame+xp to respawn where you died. (in case anyone else new to the game wonders...)

why? Game is automatically saved...

Except for when it doesn't. My wife and I just bought the game, after starting a character we went out to dinner. My wife was on Floor 3 when we left. We get back after dinner, she picks up where she left off, gets completely engrossed in the game.

Three hours, ten character levels, and 3 or 4 orange drops later, the game crashes. She reloads.

She's back on Floor 3, character level 4.

[boooooooosa]

I have a question:
With the quest by that guy who's a bard and wants you to go kill Valman on floor three, where is valman?!?!?!
I looked through floor 3 for like ten minutes after I finished it, and can't find it/him.

[Pluto]

where is the shadow vault? I can't find it anywhere... (beaten ordrak...)

*edit: nevermind, its in the south eastern graveyard in the town

[Nightwolf]

Then, the way to save, quit game, and save is done. Or go back to town i think also saves the game.

Its the problem with *now everything automatic *...

You may not probably noticed that the save also saves the portal you cam from as well unless you came from the waygate. For example i went to town via portal from a level/floor and promptly exited the game. i came back on as same char with the portal to the floor/level exactly where i left it (however some of the monsters respawned somehow). If you did know this then i didn't either
1. read it beacause it wasnt posted or didnt find it in tis post
or
2.it was posted but it was on a different thread

A bit upset that I will have to wait till Monday to play the game I bought on a Saturday. Seems no one is available to send me an activation key until then.

Well if you see 3 levers next to each other then it means that you have to solve its combination to open a small treasure room somewhere nearby. If you defeat the three sisters then you should be able to advance to the next level through a door behind the bigger sister (forgot her name). The lever in the Sister's area near the end opens a treasure room to the right of the area your in after killing the sisters.

What would be neat (snark) is if someone from Runic actually read the many long lists of questions on this thread

AND FREAKIN ANSWERED THEM.

That would be neat.
