The High Rollers Lounge elevator in Grim Fandango's second year has a dark history, which apparently extended to the recent Remastered edition of the game. The patch notes for this update say.
Grim Fandango
Demo
Escape From Monkey Island
The following files must come from either a patched installation, or copied from the CD with one of the patches copied to that directory.
Note: voiceAll.m4b is repeated on both CDs. You must use the copy from the first CD as it contains all of the required voice data.
Note: Textures/FullMonkeyMap.imt on CD1 must be renamed to 'FullMonkeyMap1.imt', and the FullMonkeyMap.impt from CD2 must be renamed to 'FullMonkeyMap2.imt'.Both files should remain in the Textures directory.
Demo
Myst 3
You will need these elements from your game CDs or DVD :
When using the CD version, you will need to merge the 'Data' directories fromall four discs. Playing directly from the CDs is not supported.
The game must be at least version 1.1. For most releases of the game, theupdate is already applied on the installation media, no action is required.Otherwise, ResidualVM asks for the update to be installed and refuses to runthe game. The updates can be downloaded fromhttp://demos.residualvm.org/patches/.
The DVD version is multilingual, you can change the in-game language from thegame menu. However, you must choose the language of the menus by copying theappropriate files. You have to copy the menu language file from your chosenlanguage folder on the disc. On the DVD, the menu language file can be named'language.m3u' or '[LANGUAGE].m3u' depending on the release. It shouldbe copied to the 'M3Data/TEXT' folder. If the file is named 'language.m3u',it should be renamed to the explicit language e.g. ENGLISH.m3u for English.

Go get yourself a copy of for your PC, PS4 or Vita now!Ok, so that should have been published on January 27th, earlier this year, but it doesn't make it any less true.That also means that, unless this project morphs into something different (like an additional polish pass for Remastered), that it will probably pass away peacefully in its sleep. No need to mourn, however, because Grim Fandango can now be enjoyed by anyone - in the best possible version.Thanks DoubleFine!See what else I'm up to on my blog. I'm sure you'll agree that the new lighting system looks fantastic. I'm so happy with how much it adds to the overall feeling of Grim Fandango. Additionally the new score really adds to the depth of the original. That said, there are some disappointments, too.Tim Schafer has confirmed that the models themselves haven't been altered in any way (other than increased textures). This is a shame.
The character's fingers still are comprised of 'x's instead of three dimensional shapes, and thing look very angular in places (especially Manny's head and Glottis).There's also a few visual glitches in the videos (see below), but I hope that these are fixed before release.More great footage (with Tim Schafer too).
