-Enabling [[#Vsync]] may fix some issues, such as periodic freezing. This is because the game does not have a framerate limiter, therefore it will tax the graphics card very heavily.<ref>http://www.grimrock.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=677</ref> [[#Vsync]] forces a framerate cap.

+{{Fixbox/fix|Black screen with torches visible}}
 A known issue regarding certain graphics card drivers. Resetting the graphics driver to default values from the control panel can fix this issue. <ref>http://www.grimrock.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=848</ref> This issue, at least on AMD cards, seems to be caused by forcing anti-aliasing via the control panel. Disabling it should fix the issue. Morphological Filtering (MLAA) seems functional as an alternative, but it can make small text and objects blurry.

 Blurry textures and menu items are almost always caused by the Mipmap Detail Level in the [[AMD VISION Engine Control Center]].<ref>http://www.grimrock.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=690</ref>
 Following these steps to fix the issue:

 This is possible using a utility called [http://transgaming.com/business/swiftshader Swiftshader], which offloads shader processing onto the CPU. However, this comes at a heavy performance price.<ref>http://www.grimrock.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1170</ref>

-The installation script adds a 'Grimrock.bin' binary to /usr/local/bin by default, which is automatically added to the PATH.

-== WINE/PlayOn ==
+|OSfamily = Linux
-Some users have suggested that it is possible to run Grimrock on Mac and Linux via WINE; however with the availability of a native version this should no longer be necessary. The most popular method on Mac is to use [http://portingteam.com/files/file/7283-legend-of-grimrock/ the Porting Team wrapper]. On Linux it may be possible to play the game by installing Windows DLLs via Wine tricks (required DLLs include DirectX dlls and Visual C dlls).
