troubleshooting

[forest heart]

It's all the music we have now, they're teaching themselves how to dance, badly.

@forest heart

[forest heart]

Are these crashes a recent occurance?

[fair burrow]

i played game like half a year ago with no problems

wanted too try new update of map but this keeps happening after 1 or 2 hours

[forest heart]

Okay, can you type /minidump in chat here, you'll get a DM from a bot with a list of things to try. Run through them and if you're still getting the crashes come back and we can try some other things ^^

[fair burrow]

oke

Hi. I could use some help/advice. I'm playing 2 person coop. We have good hardware and good internet. I'm hosting with 650 mbps and like 2 ms latency to ISP, my friend has 70 mbps internet with ~5 ms to latency to ISP. When we started the game ~2 weeks ago, everything was fine with my friend having ~40 ms latency. As we progressed through the game over the past few weeks, the ping started getting progressively worse, first hitting 150 ish, then over 200-300, as of today it's at 400 and completely unplayable. This is the only game that does it as other games get ~20-50ms. We've both done full router resets, ipconfig /flushdns, netsh winsock reset, ran speedtests, everything else works. Except for this game. Any idea what's going on and how to fix it?

[verbal shell]

Me and my friend have the exact problem! both High PC specs and after 10 hrs of gameplay he's encountering huge lag spikes everywhere

[zinc oak]

It's very difficult to troubleshoot issues through a third party. would it be possible to have them come in here instead?

Could you be more specific?

This is a known issue that the devs are working on a fix for. Unfortunately until that time, the only thing we can do is take off the offending armor piece and reequip it or stay grounded to the earth with our very stretchy gear.

[zinc oak]

A game can't really create high ping, however if their CPU/GPU is having difficulty processing all the packets it could be causing network delay issues. Have them try to lower their graphical settings a bit in the game and close any other software they might be running to see if that helps.

[zinc oak]

Check my response above and see if that helps the issue.

[worthy pumice]

A game can create high ping through volume of data that needs to be sent back and forth, which wouldn't surprise me if it increases as you explore more land, add more npcs and grow a bigger settlement. Likewise, CPU/GPU only affects local framerate and has absolutely nothing to do with ping. By the way, we've already tested that theory by dropping the settings to the absolute minimum as well as moving far from the base into an empty area, which did absolutely nothing to ping. Even at our regular settings, our CPU/GPU are not under max load, therefore it is not a hardware problem.

Just FYI, I came here after reading multiple reddit threads of people experiencing the same issue, just with this game, where all others work and it was always the same symptoms, ping rising over time. The same was confirmed by LockStar just above.

[final summit]

hey, my friend is having a lot of trouble joining me and or is extremely laggy and crashes, it wasnt like this before the update. is there anything going on right now?

much like the person above its a 2 person server though we both are having no internet problems

[zinc oak]

It's indirect, but it could have an effect.

I am just trying to think of things that could help right now, because pretty much everything else related to ping is out of user control. as it's either being bottlenecked somewhere, optimization with the game that needs to be done or the connection is bad/far.

[worthy pumice]

"The amount of data exchanged between servers and clients has been reduced. This should help in situations, where low bandwidth caused multiplayer issues previously." - patch notes

so something was changed in the last update, which seems to coincide with our issues

[sterile hatch]

I'm also seeing a lot of lag and rubberbanding tonight. Have played a bunch over the past few days/since the patch with no issues, so unsure if it's just an off day?

[zinc oak]

It's Tuesday. Steam has updates and certain sections of it are shut down throughout the day. It's possible this could be affecting you.

It shouldn't affect a game already started though

[worthy pumice]

i'm wondering how they reduced the data flow between server/client, because less data can also be a bad thing (e.g. less positioning data)

[zinc oak]

It's possible. If your issue started right after the patch (and is persistent past today or started before today) I would submit a bug report with the issue and as much detail as you can provide. I would even include the game save itself just in case.

Unfortunately with ping issues there is very little to troubleshoot on the player's side beyond updating NIC drivers, power cycling routers and freeing up more processing power by closing software or reducing settings and making sure both players are connected physically to a router and not using Wifi.

[worthy pumice]

we've done all the usual network debugging steps, but if no other game or service is impacted other than this one, it's not related to the hardware or general network/ISP issues

would be cool if we could test on a pre-update version, but that's not how Steam games work unfortunately

i don't suppose they could do what some devs do in terms of adding the previous version to the beta channel

[zinc oak]

Unfortunately all games are so different from each other "working on other games" doesn't mean too much in pretty much any aspect of troubleshooting. But since you do seem to have done most everything to check from your side, your best bet is to submit a bug report. If a lot of players submit them it will tell them that it might be an issue on their side, and something they can fix. and the information on them can help them track it down. so put as much as you can think of in there.

[zinc oak]

You could add it to the suggestions page if it isn't already there: https://enshrouded.featureupvote.com/

[spare hedge]

hey guys, how are you doing? I'd like to ask for some help. I'm the host of a world which I play with some friends but I wont be able to play for some time and would like to know if its possible to transfer the world we've been playin in to a friend, so they can be the host instead of me

[zinc oak]

Instructions on how the save files work, where to find them, and how to tranfer them are located in this post: https://discord.com/channels/1046840540550942720/1233539692591448166

[robust summit]

Been getting this. Any ideas?

[zinc oak]

It's a known issue. The devs are working on a fix and hope to have it out as early as Thursday if all goes well.

[feral lintel]

Would be a cool effect if it could be done on command 😉

[livid pelican]

Hey My game keeps crashing and has some trouble starting, it wasn't doing this for months but all of a sudden it keeps happening inconsistently
Any ideas what it might be, I'm currently checking my drivers and making sure my C-Drive has at least 50gbs free but idk if that would matter considering I have the game installed on a SSD

[zinc oak]

Game crashing inconsistantly.

[wide sleet]

I logged in this evening and my character had been wiped! My builds are still there, thank goodness! Is there a way to retrieve my character, or do I start over with a new map and all the quest lines to do again?

[zinc oak]

Are you using cloud saves?

[wide sleet]

No. I just saw your post about how to back up. I'll sit down with it tonight and learn how to do that. Will I be able to find my character that way, or do I just move forward from here and make sure my world is backed up.

[zinc oak]

Can you do me a favor and navigate to ..\Users\%username%\Saved Games\Enshrouded in file explorer and take a screenshot of what is in there?

[wide sleet]

Ok..one moment

[broken halo]

So... i have no idea if its a graphics bug or not but it feels like things aren't rendering in fully. No idea how to fix it.

[zinc oak]

Items seem "blurry" when you get close to them?

[broken halo]

blurry would be the correct term yes. Like partial rendered, enough to know its supposed to be blocks...

[zinc oak]

Yeah, this is a texture streaming issue that the devs are aware of. They have been slowly making it better, but it still does happen, regardless of anything we do on our side.

[broken halo]

Got it.

[zinc oak]

It's better than it used to be, but I think it's been tough for them to nail down the root cause.

[wide sleet]

@zinc oak I couldn't find that file by using that link, ( my saved games folder is empty) but I did find my save file in my program files. If it's helpful, I'm also using GEForce to play. Would that be interfering?

[zinc oak]

Geforce Now?

[wide sleet]

Ah, yes.

Is it better to save in the cloud or in my files?

[zinc oak]

Hmm. Yeah. Unfortunately I am not too familiar with how things are done on that. It does complicate things.

You might have to do a search to see how the save files work and if there is a way to restore backups in there, butcause It's likely going to be vastly different from what you'll find from steam users.

[wide sleet]

Will do. Thank you for the direction!

[zinc oak]

If you find anything out about it, or a good link, ping me on here and let me know. More and more people are using cloud gaming services these days, and it would be nice to know for me. 😄

[wide sleet]

I will. 👍🏻

[supple mica]

for cloud sync, the directory is Steam\userdata\YOURID\1203620\remote
Non sync is C:\Users\YOURUSER\Saved Games\Enshrouded
to find the cloud sync one easier, if you didn't change where your games install, right click on the game, go to it's properties, then the installed files tab, and browse to the game files. from there, go back to the base steam directory, userdata, and so on.

[wide sleet]

Ill give that a shot. Ty!

[zinc oak]

Is this how it works on Geforece now, though? Someone on reddit was talking about how they can't really mess with their saves/backup.

[supple mica]

I have not used that service, so yeah.. that's outside of my scope of knowledge... that's only where things are normally for the common install locations.

[viscid portal]

Experiencing high ping issues for people on my local server. It's being run on a laptop with 16gb of ram , 12 cores 24 threads, SSD, even on a cooling pad, ethernet connected with gigabit speeds up/down. Server only starts to lag when 4 or more players (all from the USA like the server).

I've had users run speed test using cloudflare to showcase any potential packet loss via aggregated testing. They all use ethernet as well.

Utilization of CPU and ram is under 30/40%

no packet loss on my end as well*

[zinc oak]

There have been several reports of people having issues in co-op and on servers with 3+ people, however I don't believe the cause has been tracked down by any of us. I see Mazelon is helping you out in #server-support though, and he's infinitely more qualified to help you if there is anything.

[hybrid osprey]

Has anyone else experienced an issue with whole areas seeming to go vacant of mobs? Regions that are usually swarming with scavengers or fell are almost entirely empty, even after a server restart. We're running on a dedicated server at Bisect Hosting with two players on and off, and it seems to have cropped up over the past few days. Restoring to earlier backups doesn't seem to have fixed it reliably.

[zinc oak]

This seems to be a new issue that some people have been having somehow related to the world save. Some people have found that increasing the mob amounts in the game have fixed the issue, however I would submit a bug report from in the game by hitting F1, include your system specs including driver versions as well as a zipped copy of your save folder and as detailed of information regarding the issue as you can to help the Devs track down the issue and repair it.

[glad remnant]

Hi, I play solo and just started playing again since new update. Loving it so much! I thought I’d mention a couple of odd glitches where I have to restart from main menu in order to clear it up. While in build mode somehow build pieces will appear and be stuck in either the blue or red colour overlapping each other in random places and I can’t build.

Another one is my tools or weapons will glitch and I’ll suddenly be holding 2 in one hand which looks kind cool when it’s a torch and sword lol! Also I’ll have some heavy freeze and lag once in awhile, like 3 wolves attacking and i swap a weapon but it will freeze a swap back to the other weapon and I can’t fight so i die. Also a weird one with the npc summoning tool.

Also no more salt by the 1st elixer well 😭

Quest Issue: The Cosmetic Blacksmith Outfit

[glad remnant]

Okay will do:)

[candid hawk]

Hola Shrouded people.. Anyone know why my caracters appearance doesn't change when i put on new armor ? ... wrote to Keen about it and never got a reply.. ???????????

[tame palm]

Did you equip anything in the cosmetic armour slots?

[candid hawk]

nope.. only armor change .. but the gloves do show up

its the only piece that does.

[forest heart]

Can you open your character sheet, press R, take a screen shot and post it here?

[candid hawk]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaah no need.. you just told me the answer i was looking for ..

i never put any cosmetics on.. and now i see those were creating the issue

[forest heart]

👍

[candid hawk]

thank you soooooooooo much

cosmetics weren't a thing last time i played this game.. that is a nice idea when you know about it LOL

[tame palm]

Is the Rebound skill broken?

Its effect doesn't show up under attributes and I don't see any change in the stamina regeneration speed

[regal solstice]

Hello everyone,

Is anyone encountering an issue with villagers despawning?

I am creating a town for all 23(?) villagers, assistants, and crafts people. Many of them are randomly despawning. I am unable to discern if they are despawning due to an NPC pop cap, or some other bug

[forest heart]

It is a bug and it is known, but please submit a bug report using F1 in game, the more data they have the better ^^

[delicate zinc]

It got fixed by logging in and out again, but this can happen. (Glider just stuck on character with the gliding sound still being heard)

idk if this is the right place to post it <3

[strange raven]

so, was playing with my friend on his world (not dedicated server) and sometimes it crashes for whatever reason, and this time when it crashed apparently his antivirus detected some sort of attack via enshrouded?

apparently it detected a trojan? Assuming it's a false positive but uh, anyone ever encounter this?

[median robin]

does anyone know how i might be able to fix this quest

[distant finch]

I may be a little late, but have you tried restarting your client, making sure your Enshrouded game is closed out and re-opened? From what I remember, if you server hop too quickly (or leave and rejoin multiple worlds too quickly, whether a dedicated server or hosted games, your client may flip you the proverbial bird) and a restart of your game generally corrects this issue

[hushed saddle]

anyone of you exp crashing whenever playing this game?

[distant finch]

I've never seen this before, specifically with Enshrouded. While I wouldn't think it impossible to be a false positive, maybe something else has infected enshrouded.exe? While I am by no means a virus or virus program expert, my last encounter with a virus that snuck through (many years ago) the virus infected any .exe file that I would run. As a precaution, I would have him run a thorough virus scan of his system with whatever virus scanner they are using.

[distant finch]

I have not experience any crashes with Enshrouded. Others have. What are you getting when it crashes? Is it a minudump crash? This is a generic crash message. You can check the enhsrouded.log file in your Enshrouded install directory for a more specific reason. If you have restarted Enshrouded, disregard the enshrouded.log file as this is recreated each time Enshrouded is restarted

[hushed saddle]

yes the minidump crash is there any way to fix this. I tried unintsall the game and install it again but it seems not working.

[regal solstice]

Thank you for the confirmation! I will report the bug tonight!

[strange raven]

didn't detect anything. The enshrouded crash message was "data couldn't be overwritten", as per usual

[supple mica]

Sounds like the anti-virus isn't liking something the exe is doing... Probably a save of the world or something... What anti-virus program is he using?

[distant finch]

What does the log say? The log provides a little more detail as to why it crashed

[strange raven]

bitdefender. We're assuming it's just a false positive and it didn't like whatever file couldn't be overwritten. Likely due to us using characters from before the big update 🤷 it'll probably be fine

[marble gale]

Hey folks, any idea on why the dragon won't respawn on a server world? I rechecked all the beacons and they're still lit

[thick hinge]

Anybody elses game crashing on boot? Just got the newest patch, crashed. Ran validator, started, crashed. Anybody?

[thick hinge]

Yup, I just saw a review on Steam made at 12:01pm yesterday, his game keeps crashing as well..

[supple mica]

there have been people having issues here and there... if it's a crash on startup, you should check the enshrouded.log file for any reason for the crash.

[thick hinge]

@supple mica Oh I checked.. no log happened

[supple mica]

what system specs are you running?

[thick hinge]

@supple mica AMD Ryzen 7 5700x 8 Core, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, Win 11, Updated always. I tried reinstalling the game as well. Will try restarting the computer now.

[supple mica]

yeah system should be fine... odd that its not even getting to a part where it would write your system info into the log file... could try and remove the json in the C:\Users\YOURUSER\Saved Games\Enshrouded area as well, as that likely wasn't removed with uninstall... if it's corrupt... maybe.... but grasping at straws.

[thick hinge]

@supple mica okay just restarted and apparently at some point a windows update occurred... Um... Ya I am dumb, it works now. 🤣😂🤣

[supple mica]

lol. well glad it's up and running for ya

[livid lintel]

this is so strange all of s sudden, on more than one private local save, some of my furniture is turning into piles of logs o.o, anyone else having this issue?

[livid lintel]

theres been an issue i read that some servers are not loading creatures including bosses..

[balmy edge]

Any way to turn off the games built in raytracing? I can see it has it but dont see a way to disable

[distant finch]

Use more nails? hehehe. I haven't heard of this before.

[livid lintel]

if that would fix it i would LOL

im wondering something though, could when the npc uses them, are they getting consumed in some sort of way... or...ruining it in some sort of way lol

[distant finch]

Hmm. They need to take better care of your stuff! They sound like that one friend that farts in your brand new car before you even have the chance!

[distant finch]

I can say with certainty that there should be a patch out this week or early next week. I don't, however, know what all the patch will address

[livid lintel]

im also wondering if its perhaps a collision issue with the npcs

[livid lintel]

i hope so and lol they are really rough on my furniture XD

[grizzled yew]

NPCs so chad they're breaking furniture into logs simply by walking into them lol

All that standing in place really did wonders for their glutes

[inner yew]

Is the looking-for-group channel always in slowmode? Cant post anything there. 🤷‍♀️

[brazen karma]

Can I just post a suggestion link in here for upvotes?

or is there a better chat for that?

This isn't the channel for that. There is a website for suggestions and upvotes.... looking

[rancid bane]

Anyone noticing that in the new zone, granite blocks don't match existing structures correctly?

[sacred sorrel]

Any help w parsing another minidump error appreciated

[zinc oak]

This is a known issue. The devs are working on a fix for it, though I am not sure if it's going to be in the next patch or not.

[rancid bane]

Do you know if it will break existing structures? Like, if I build off that and it gets fixed, will my building break?

[zinc oak]

I don't have any history of you posting a previous issue. Please type /minidump in chat and follow the instructions sent to you by DM. If you do all the fixes in there and are still having issues, come back and we'll see if we can figure out what is happening.

[sacred sorrel]

I've tried all the cited fixes and others not listed there

[zinc oak]

Unsure. I don't know what the actual issue is - only that the pieces aren't acting like normal granite pieces. From what I understand they aren't returning the correct materials when destroyed or returning blocks when removed. Whether the fix will repair what is inside an altar, I don't know. It could be that the blocks inside your altar will remain broken because their state is saved in your save file - or that it will fix the blocks inside the altar.

[zinc oak]

You ran Liandry's tool, renamed your json file and completely reinstalled your GPU driver using DDU?

[sacred sorrel]

[rancid bane]

In this case, the only fix would be to remove the altar and reset the state of things yes?

If things remain in the old state when the fix is deployed.

[zinc oak]

It hasn't been fixed yet, so I don't know. Removing the altar right now would result in the same issue.

oh, after - yeah - if the issue persists on the base after fix, the area might need to be reset - but I don't know that for sure until they release a fix for it. 🙂

[rancid bane]

Hmm...maybe I should hold off on building there for now.

[zinc oak]

It might be a good idea. They did say the fix might be coming out this week, and CUB mentioned a patch (not necessarily for this issue, just a patch) could be coming out as early as tomorrow (or tonight if you are in the western hemi), so let's hope it's in there. 🙂

[modest cypress]

does anyone have any suggestions for what to do when a quest is bugged? I have the spinning wheel quest in my journal and should have all the materials to make it, but my carpenter doesnt have the crafting recipe

[near granite]

Check the hunter.

[modest cypress]

oh, thank you! I guess i got confused bc the quest says to make it at the carpenter

[zinc oak]

Yeah - they moved the item but didn't update the quest,

[spark solar]

Would it be possible to rework the "connection" between building- and terrainblocks again ? Since the last update there is a visible line between them, for example when putting building blocks into a mountain. The looks are a bit awful right now.

[nova steeple]

these two sets of armor are swapped. Look at name at top and then name of gear.

[zinc oak]

This is a known issue that the devs are surrently working on. They hope to have a fix out for it soon.

[zinc oak]

Please report this via F1 from inside the game so that the devs can get this information.

[nova steeple]

done

[zinc oak]

Thank you 😄

[spark solar]

Thx for the quick and satisfying answer. 😊

[jovial turtle]

I have edited my Enshourded_Server.json file to include: "tombstoneMode": "NoTombstone",

not changing the "Default" to "Custom" in the settings, most likely.

[jovial turtle]

yes thankyou that was it.

Is there anything known about not being able to craft snowballs (singleplayer)? It does exactly nothing. 🤔

[rustic stirrup]

Hi, we’re enjoying the game a lot with my gf, however her character movement is very choppy on my (host) screen, when she runs it’s like I see her in 20fps or “teleporting” short distances sometimes. Everything looks awesome on her screen, both characters move fine, even when my char jumps around, fights, dashes etc it looks astounding. I see myself fine on my screen as well.

We’re in the same LAN, both PC on Windows 10 connected via gigabit Ethernet to the same router. We’re on 1Gbps broadband. This whole setup is capable of recording both screens and streaming a coop game almost ping-less, so the PCs have a very close connection and I know what I’m doing. But I guess the multiplayer runs via steam? Is there any additional ports Enshrouded server needs open to run smoothly? Is there a way to lower ping/latency setting of the server? I don’t suppose LAN hosting is coming?
Edit: this also happens with disabled firewall and there’s no Qos active on router

[patent raft]

Greetings everyone,
I'm experiencing some troubles with the NPCs in my home. They are constanly unable to move from spots in my home. The path is free, but they turn around going a little forward than stopping, bucking, than turning again and so one. I have to summon them again at random other spot, so they can go to sleep etc.
the clothes of the second carpenter are rubber banding through the floor. i summoned her again but its not get fix with that.
I started the game new, but it happens again.
Does anybody have an idea whats going on and how to fix that permanently?

[thin temple]

Maybe you can use the 7 NPC's from the first world , not use these from the new upgrade friend

All this new npc's give troubles , same here 🙂

[patent raft]

Hi Alberto,
thanks for suggeting that. but would the first world update the second I enter?
How do I use the NPC from before the update?

[thin temple]

and special this they do nothing at all 🙂

[patent raft]

Yeah, I'm so running around searching for them, because they have a new spot were they are bugged

[thin temple]

Strange and if you spawn them in your new world your old npc's ?

[patent raft]

Sorry for not understanding what you mean. How can i spawn in the old ones and not the new ones?

[thin temple]

you having 22 npc's totaly bro

so spawn only the dwarf smidt - oswald , emily just the old npc's 🙂

[patent raft]

ok, i'm currently at 5 main NPC and 2 new one. They all stopp at some spots and seems to be unable to move from this spot. its not only the new ones

[thin temple]

if you look at your npc list you can change how far you can let them walk with the " R" key

[patent raft]

I thought you meant that a should transfer the NPC from my first world to the new one. sorry, totaly missunderstood you.

r-key I see, I will try this. Wish me luck.

mhhh nope they still doing it.

[midnight cradle]

Looks about as fun as my quest, unless I've missunderstood what pieces I need to add to a frame... 😐

[dusty parcel]

Hello! I have a problem with a server created by me, with a PC at home... everything was working fine, until one day it stopped appearing in the server search engine within the game. The only difference I see is when I run the server, at the end where this appeared.. Now this is added at the end... I put it in a red square... that didn't appear before... Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thank you very much in advance!

Are there ways to disable fast travel and to forcefully delete all items dropped on death (no tombstone, no nothing)?

[supple mica]

everything in that looks fine, and normal... did you update your server? if you installed via steamcmd, run the same command you used to install the server, to upgrade it. if the server does not match your game version, it will not show up on the list. If you are not running via steamcmd, make sure to NOT run the server directly from steam, and run the enshrouded_server.exe directly from the directory itself. when it is ran directly from steam, it reports the wrong GAMEID, and doesn't show.

[supple mica]

I mostly deal with the server settings, and yes, there is a notombstone mode in that, that keeps all items on death.

https://enshrouded.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/20453241249821-Server-Difficulty-Settings

[glass dove]

ah you misunderstand - I want characters to respawn with an empty inventory, no gear, and no tombstone - everything deleted.

[supple mica]

oh there is a drop all option, but not a delete...

[glass dove]

Yes, I have drop-all in use, to discourage players from continuing the character

[supple mica]

what video card are you using?

[pliant elm]

I hate to be the 4 billionth person to ask about this, but I'm getting the infamous "no compatible graphics device found" error message. I'm on a Windows 10 desktop with an AMD Radeon R9 Fury series GPU and no integrated graphics. I've installed the latest drivers using the AMD app (latest update is from 2022), restarted the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and verified integrity of game files. I also tried installing Vulkan, but I'm not sure how that process is supposed to work. Help? I'm trying to play with family who are all able to run it on systems no better than this one, so I'd hate to just get it refunded.

[supple mica]

from what I can see, that video card does not meet minimums. at least 6GB of video memory is required.

[pliant elm]

It does only have 4GB of RAM, but I think I've seen other cards run it with that.

[supple mica]

yeah... but most of those cards have been more modern. that is a high end card... but from 10 years ago at this point... without active driver support... I have a feeling you are going to have problems, if you can get it running.

[pliant elm]

Ah, bummer. I was afraid that was going to be the answer but was hoping someone knew of a fix. Thanks for your input!

[bright gate]

"Server full or unavailable" Nitrado server. Anyone have a fix?

[thin temple]

Like i see they need a bed 🙂

[patent raft]

You think thats the issue why they are still moving? I‘ll try tomorrow.

[zinc oak]

This doesn't sound like a ping issue - if it were, she wouldn't have such a good connection. I honestly am not really sure what is happening there. They might have more of an idea over in #server-support though.

[zinc oak]

This is a known issue with the pathing of the NPC's that the devs are working on fixing.

[patent raft]

Hi Mama Kira,
Thank for letting me know. Than I will bear with it for the time being 👍

[zinc oak]

This is a pretty generic message, and sadly doesn't tell us too much. If this only happened the once, I wouldn't be too concerned about it - but if it continues to happen, you can type /minidump in this chat and follow the instructions that are sent to you via DM - and that clears up a great deal of the more common issues that cause crashing.

[red nexus]

anyone else found a fix for the issue with epic instruments quest. Npc wont let me talk to them

[red patrol]

I accidentally removed my character by pasting save files in my 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata<STEAMUID>\1203620\remote' folder that came from a dedicated server

Is there any way I can get my character back?

[zinc oak]

Are you playing with cloudsave on?

[red patrol]

Yes

[zinc oak]

and, sorry - what files did you paste?

[red patrol]

I got these from the savegame folder on my dedicated server

[zinc oak]

Ah, okay. I think I understand what you are saying now. This overwrote your game files for your solo games?

[red patrol]

Well, I still have my worlds, my character is just gone

[zinc oak]

ah. Did you make a backup of your files from that folder before pasting?

[red patrol]

No :/

[zinc oak]

I am not sure about server save files specifically, but if they have the "character" saves and they were newer than your saves, then steam would pull them in a sync, and not deposit yours.

The files you are showing me - those are all files you moved over, or that is your current save folder contents?

[red patrol]

those are all the files I moved over from my dedicated server

from the savegame folder

If it's easier, I can hop in a call and screenshare :p

[zinc oak]

Yeah - if that is the case, then it's likely that you completely overwrote your character files and steam synced up with them.

[red patrol]

So there's no way I can get them back?

[zinc oak]

You can check steam cloud to see if the files are the same on there: https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage
but it's unlikely as steam syncs frequently, and you, unfortunately, have overwritten every game backup of your files with that paste.

[zinc oak]

There is one possibility you can try - but it is a long-shot. If you haven't done too much on the computer right click on a blank area inside the folder and see if you can't "undo" the file move. It's possible windows has it in file history.

The only problem with this is that steam would overwrite it as soon as you boot up the game. IF you can get them back, you would have to copy all the character saves to your local folder BEFORE running the game again (..\Users\%username%\Saved Games\Enshrouded), turn off cloud save and run the game to make your character save the most recent one, and paste it back into the remote folder and turning cloudsave back on again.

But all of this is dependent on whatever limitations windows file history has.

[zinc oak]

If you are able to get your files back that way - I suggest reading this document before trying to put any more files in your save folder in the future: https://discord.com/channels/1046840540550942720/1233539692591448166

[red patrol]

I downloaded EaseUS Data Recovery

found them there

tool is a wonder

[zinc oak]

Just make sure to load (in the game) your files in the other folder with cloud save off so they are more recent than the ones on steam cloud then transfer them back.

and yeah - in the future - make backups of save folders before pasting stuff over them.

[rustic stirrup]

That’s a great point, if the client does not experience ping then perhaps it’s a priority issue? Host seeing clients in low fps… dedicated server would fix the issue I’m sure, it’s a pity I can’t do that atm.

[zinc oak]

I haven't heard of anyone having this issue, but I don't deal too much with multiplayer either. What are the specs of the host system, if I may ask?

[rustic stirrup]

GTX 1080, i7 6700k, 64gb ddr4 currently running pretty low at 2400 hz, SSD Samsung Evo for games

[zinc oak]

Quest Issue: Alchemic Wisdom

[molten rock]

How much Vram does that graphics card have?

[zinc oak]

It's possible your 1080 is having some issues dealing with hosting - especially if you have your graphics settings set any higher than max performance. While your GPU is not sitting at minimum required, it is of the same generation

[zinc oak]

That one should be 8

[molten rock]

There are other versions of it, which is why I double check always

[zinc oak]

If a 1080ti had 11GB and titan had 12, but nothing less than 8gb 😄

[rustic stirrup]

That’s true, it’s an old GPU but people buy worse now, except maybe I don’t have some new graphic gimmicks, this card still has more vram and cuda cores than most (I edit 4k long form videos no problem) I have zero ping playing Fallout 76 with UHD mods running at 90 fps 1440p. They even implemented some form of dlss for my card and I got some visuals here and there

I played all the possible games for couples or coops, everything, but only one person seeing ping is new to me

Is this game somewhat different meaning it’s not a normal coop, but rather, a strong server for coop is a must?

[molten rock]

I read 1060, that's why. We've had so many 1060 people lately, my brain changed it when I read it

[zinc oak]

Unfortunately, every game is different. Fallout 76 is a 6 year old game and has much lower minimum specs.

I would lower your settings and close any software on your computer that you don't need (including browser windows) to see if it improves.

[zinc oak]

As far as I know, there is nothing particularly strange about the coop that would specifically cause the host to see another player rubber-banding and not the other player having the same issue.

[rustic stirrup]

But this happens on all the possible graphics settings, and we both see monsters and everything else without their sprites lagging around

[zinc oak]

Do you have a lot of browser windows open, or other software running in the background that could be using any of your resources?

[molten rock]

You can also open task manager to performance after a rubberband and see if you had anything spike. It gives you a minute or so of overview for CPU, Memory, your disk drives, Ethernet, and GPU

[zinc oak]

You also may want to have your friend host a game and see how that responds.

Sorry, we are kinda overwhelming you with stuff. 🤣

[rustic stirrup]

No worries. I was thinking I’m too much. I’m using Windows since 95’. I fix and keep my PCs until they BURN. 1080 has kept me playing and working for 8 years. Anyways when my gf hosts. on her one gen better Rtx 2070 and poor Ryzen 5, that doesn’t make much difference. Gpt says it’s probably a bug

[zinc oak]

When she hosts, does she have the same issue. You play the game fine, but she sees you with locational issues?

[uncut heron]

Why are my controls switching back and forth from keyboard and mouse to controller rapidly, this is annoying. just started a few days ago

Am I missing a setting to shut of the controller all together>

[zinc oak]

Have you tried restarting your computer?

[uncut heron]

Many times

[zinc oak]

If you unplug the controller does it stop?

[uncut heron]

I dont have a controller

[zinc oak]

oh. 🤣

[uncut heron]

lol

[rustic stirrup]

Actually when she hosts, we’re more in sync but both chars are lagging a bit. A bit less than when I host

[zinc oak]

Have you also verified your game files with steam?

[uncut heron]

I'll try that again it has been a few days/

[zinc oak]

That change hints at something happening between her computer and yours - where the data your computer sends is sent and received fine, however the data she is sending back is having some kind of packet loss either in route, from her system or in the receiving end of yours.

I would say restart both PC's if you haven't already, Power Cycle the router (you are on the same LAN right? otherwise cycle both).

If that doesn't fix the issue, both of you verify your game files on steam just to be sure it's not some kind of file corruption somewhere.

[uncut heron]

I was missing some files, two small downloads, This will most likely fix it, many thanks!

[zinc oak]

Okay sounds good. Let me know if it doesn't. 🙂

[uncut heron]

Verifying slipped my mind

@00 hours in game in less than a week, slipped through the ears, lol

[zinc oak]

In all fairness, it's an odd issue to think of verification for - but since it wasn't something I had heard about before it made me think there might be something up. 🙂

[uncut heron]

*200

Thanks again!

[zinc oak]

Anytime 🙂

[brittle heath]

why are my frizzy goats not eating i gave them food and shelter and beds?

[zinc oak]

Do they have direct access to the food and beds, and are they moving around or do they appear to be stuck in walls or fences?

[brittle heath]

i put the feeder in front of them and they just stood there i even put them outside with beds and the feeder and they just stood there

[zinc oak]

So they are not moving at all?

[brittle heath]

yeah all the other animals are moving do i have to much animals? i put them outside and they do that

thats them inside

they just stand

[zinc oak]

There are several issues with animal pathing and movement that the devs are aware of. As long as you have the correct food tray and food in front of them right there, than I would say you might just have to wait until they can release a fix for it.

[torn cedar]

I have problems with the Quest epic music instruments. I've got all the instruments but the quest isn't valid i can't talk to hugo vanderhall.

[brittle heath]

@zinc oak all the animals started to walk backwards so were gonna reset the server thank you for the help

THEYRE MOVING

[kindred palm]

Update for my situation, got some birthday money and upgraded from an RX 580 video card to an RX 7600 and the game works mostly fine-ish. still some crashing issues but not nearly as bad. played for about 8 hours straight yesterday with minimum issues (some hitching and lag but nothing too crazy). the issue i'm facing now is every time i launch the game it spends a billion years processing vulkan shaders, which should be cached in system memory. any idea as to why this is?

[bronze rain]

Same man 😦

[zinc oak]

If it were windows, I could probably help, but unfortunately it doesn't look like we have any helpers on recently who play on or know much about trying to run the game on linux - and as it's unsupported at this time, I think it's pretty rare. I am not sure how pre-caching even works on steam in this situation. Honestly your best bet might to be to ask around on reddit to see if anyone there might have an idea.

[kindred palm]

alright thank you

[near granite]

I had that processing-issue for a few days too, but file verification (for a different reason) seemed to solve it. Maybe try that?

That's assuming Steam working similar on Linux in regards to file verification.

[zinc oak]

Yeah - They should be able to verify their files, but unfortunately there are just too many variables using an unsupported OS and a 3rd party tool to be able to say (at least for me) what is happening. @kindred palm Just to be sure, this did happen more than the first time that you loaded the game after making the changes?

[near granite]

Of course it can be a bunch of other reasons too, but that's at least an easy one to check. 🤷‍♀️

[kindred palm]

so i spoke too soon and th game hard crashed my computer again 🤦🏾 i'm gonna verify files now and see if that helps

ugh what a hassle. i really like this game just let me play 😭

[zinc oak]

I hope it does. The game is quite stable on windows, and most crashing issues stem from something outside of the game like drivers, vulkan versions or other issues with third party softwares. I would say if the verification doesn't work, look into making sure everything you are using is the most current version, especially whatever software you are using to be able to play it on Linux and your drivers.

[kindred palm]

yeah i'll keep at it. thank you for your suggestions

[dusty parcel]

Thank you so much! I ended up making a .bat file with the process you say and it worked perfectly. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!

[quasi crystal]

Hello there! I'm noticing that Granite Blocks placed by the player (left) don't appear to seamlessly integrate with Granite Blocks already in the world (right). This is the first block type I've encountered for which this has been a problem- is this normal?

[magic dove]

Is anyone else having an issue with farm animals making more even when there is not extra beds? I am not sure if it's because I have goats, chickens and rabbits all together in one big fenced area. Each set of animals have their own barn with beds and food. Different times I will log onto the game and I will check and have more babies then I did the day before. I thought they weren't suppose to make more without an extra bed. That doesn't seem to be the case with my game right now.

[near granite]

It was said that when one of your animal can no longer find its bed (by clipping through a wall for example) that bed becomes empty and animals can multiply that way.

[magic dove]

My animals like to sleep in each others beds, I will log on and see a barn with all the different types of animals. It's kinda funny.

[near granite]

Mine switch beds too, but never "vanish". They share the same space.

But I just saw that I've a missing dog and no way to check if it just lost "connection to the base" (like the other NPCs occasionally do) or is gone for good. 😓 How much begging would it need to have the unique animals (cats and dogs) added to the summoning stuff to solve that?

[vernal trellis]

Hello, my wife and I have played about 90 hrs of the game with no real issues. After the latest patch, her game has started crashing frequently (up to half a dozen in a couple hours of play now). The first ones were just immediately trying to join:

Faulting application name: enshrouded.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x673ddd58

we then updated her graphics driver and she was able to join my in multiplayer. We played a bit but now she is crashing routinely, shortly after traveling to the Albaneve spire and jumping off, heading west towards Rothstep. This one is crashing in the nvidia dll, so is it worth rolling back?

her specs: Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 1070, 16gb RAM
running mostly balanced/performance settings at 1920x1200 with quality texture and foliage

[near granite]

There were issues with "location specific crashes" for people with 10s-series graphic card prior to update 4. I didn't had any (1060 6GB) in the prior known spots with the current version of the game, but haven't checked the new area in that regard. Maybe your wife found a new spot if she can reproduce it ("more or less exactly same spot"). 🤔

The solution that worked for some was actually to update drivers. Hence why I doubt that rolling back will do any good.

[vernal trellis]

I dont think we've had any crashes until now, no issues in update 4 at least. She also crashed in another location, just in her inventory in our house near Longkeep

the last two were just the last straw for the night, before we were traveling over to the new region 😅

[near granite]

And she has a 1070 with at least 6gb? Because the ones with less graphics memory seem to be out of luck with update 4 (the min requirement was always 6gb in that regard, but it did work for some "below min requirement" before update 4).

There's a command here: /minidump

That has additional steps which might be worth a try in her case too (including clean reinstall of graphics driver).

[quasi fulcrum]

So, weird thing, I have an RTX 2080S, 32GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 9 3950x. All games I play outside of Enshrouded run beautifully on max settings. When I run Enshrouded, the little bugger barely manages to scrape 55 FPS even on balanced. I've restarted, validated my game files, no windows updates are due, no driver updates are due, I've changed the priorities from low to normal, native res matches in game res

[magic dove]

I have rebuilt Glenwoods End how I am suppose to finish the Dark Rite quest. I have it I started it by doing everything in Pike but when I go to her house I can't finish the quest. I thought I read bug issue that was fixed.

[zinc oak]

This is a known issue that the devs are currently working on a fix for.

[quasi crystal]

Ah, lovely- thanks very much for the reply :)

[zinc oak]

The latest major update has started really making the minimum/recommended specs more rigid. Whereas before people with a 1060 3GB (an under spec card) were able to play the game, they are unable to now. If I were to take a guess as to why she might be crashing - the game is now starting to demand more from the systems, and the Balanced settings are just going to be too high for the system to handle.

I would suggest turning down her settings to "Max Performance" and turning up "voxel detail models" up one step to see if that fixes her crashing issue. If the crashing stops, she can start working up more settings to performance, but her system isn't really good enough to be handling the mid-range settings in the game.

[zinc oak]

This seems about right for a 20 series card and a high end but older CPU at balanced settings.

I'd say just check to make sure your refresh rate is set to match that of your monitor's capabilities and make sure you aren't running a lot of stuff like a lot of browser tabs or anything that might be eating up your GPU and CPU processing power.

You can download GPU-Z to see what your system is using for CPU, GPU and memory while the game is running and while it is not to see if anything might be capping out while playing the game and see what you can do to reduce that from outside the game to improve performance a little - but you aren't going to be able to squeeze too much more out of your system as it is, unfortunately.

[quasi fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/jim-carrey-salute-gif-27701630

Thanks!

I'm glad to have a definitive answer instead of thinking there is a mystery fix somewhere that I couldn't find, so I'm relieved!

[zinc oak]

You can also try to run LiAnDrY's tool to see if it might be able to squeeze a bit more out of it as well. It's been known to improve performance in the game a bit. https://github.com/LiaNdrY/Enshrouded-Tool-Fix

[zinc oak]

Yeah - It's a hungry hungry game 😄

Most voxel-based games and building games are though.

[quasi fulcrum]

I'm not surprised, it's a voxel game and I can't think of the engine it runs on right now

[zinc oak]

It's a custom engine - made from scratch

[quasi fulcrum]

Valheim runs wonderfully but they went for a more 'muddy' graphics style so even on the top settings it would probably be less-than balanced on here haha

if that makes sense

[quasi fulcrum]

Oh no kidding? It looks like an unreal game, that's pretty impressive

[zinc oak]

yeah - It's also much older - but it was hungry for the best stuff at the time for sure. It ran like crap on my old system xD

wait... that was 2 PC's ago... lol. but it also wasn't a gaming system - it was a crap system with a GPU upgrade. 🤣

[quasi fulcrum]

I saw posts on reddit when trying to find a fix for my issue saying that they were playing on a thinkpad. I was like, "mmmmm no"

playing Enshrouded on a thinkpad lol

[zinc oak]

Yeah they are an impressive team for sure.

[compact bay]

Hi. my windows start crashing in this game. firs screen go off, but i can hear sounds, and then i need to restart windows

[near granite]

Question to avoid future troubleshooting in regards to animal safety: A neatly cut hedge like this is as safe as building a wall (with extra securing the corners of course)? 🤔

[gaunt rapids]

I believe so

[near granite]

They're just in addition to the preplaced fences on my property as I'm not going to trust those regarding the height. 😅

[gaunt rapids]

enemies care little for fences, alas

[near granite]

I personally wouldn't place any fences for the animals and only a wall at the open side of the property. But I'm already missing a dog and I know how the NPCs "behave". Not in the mood for risks. 🤷‍♀️

[gaunt rapids]

you can always re-summon pets

[near granite]

How?

Because the cats and dogs can't be summoned with the staff.

[gaunt rapids]

I think I've read this here somewhere? It could be I'm talking out of my ass, I haven't had trouble with my own pets (....yet)

[near granite]

I would like the devs moving the special pets to the staff to help with that because that would also help to see what happened. For NPCs it seems to be "loosing connection to the correct base number" in most cases which can easily be solved by summoning them. But I've no idea if the dog just "lost connection" or is "gone for good". 🤷‍♀️

[zinc oak]

You can re-place pets by picking up and putting down, but sadly I am not aware of any method to get them back once they have flown the proverbial or literal coop.

[gaunt rapids]

oh.

[zinc oak]

I do not know all though 😄

[gaunt rapids]

can I bother you to add a suggestion to feature upvote? https://enshrouded.featureupvote.com/

[near granite]

Overall considering that NPC / animal pathing within bases is fairly new it's pretty good to be honest.

[near granite]

Oh. I thought that is still closed.

[gaunt rapids]

nah we re-opened it's just a lot of work

[zinc oak]

lol as I said yesterday to... someone - I dunno. With pathing as difficult as it can be, I am honestly surprised that I don't come into my base and see my npc's stuck in a wall with their feet coming out their ears, spinning and twitching while throwing pixels all over the place.

[thin temple]

Kira what did you do with Hugo he won't talk to me ? 🤣 ❤️ ✌️

[zinc oak]

They have done an amazing job starting from scratch - so let them know not to be discouraged by a few issues. We giggle about it, but they have done a great job so far with it.

like SO many worse things could have gone wrong than a little flemeco dance by the window

https://tenor.com/view/carmen-sevilla-flamenco-dancing-baile-happy-gif-13864768

[thin temple]

a new npc for the future maybe 🤣

[zinc oak]

if you listen to their footsteps, it sounds like a Zapateado 😄

[thin temple]

so we have music npc's no dancers

[zinc oak]

right now they are all dancers! 😄

[thin temple]

Some npc are also spinning in circles 🙂

the funny thing ingame is when you play music that the dogs come and sit with you, you should really do it sometime

[near granite]

NPC pathing is a "A moderator would ban me for wording". And Enshrouded has the additional difficulty of the player being able to change the world to their liking. Yes, it needs a bit of "finetuning" and bugfixing but I've seen worse. 🤷‍♀️

Oh. Somebody already suggested a staff for animals. upvotes it

[near granite]

If Emily and Valery wants to go on adventures in scavenger camps or vukah arenas they could just ask. 👀

[thin temple]

Lucky we don't have to talk to an animal in game for a quest 🤣 ✌️

i will place an altar close to the lava , and spawn there the npc's that don't do their job 😂

[half kraken]

while rebuilding a goat stable, I found a goat fawn in a hole below a floor plate, and once I found my cat in the space below the staircase as well. I think they both bugged through when I was on the move and path finding becomes a bit less exact for performance reasons. Same as in ark where dinos like to bug through fences/walls.
So your dog probably is somewhere behind/above/below built structures...

[zinc oak]

The pets and moving NPC's are relatively new, and as such their pathing is a little bit buggy. The Devs are aware of the issue and hopfully will have a fix soon.

[half kraken]

sure, I'm not complaining just tryin to help

[zinc oak]

Ah, yeah this is a troubleshooting channel for people looking for help fixing issues they are having with the game. For generic game talk and advice such as this #the-tavern or #enshrouded-chat might be better, and reach more people.

[near granite]

I did consider that and picked up the second one to go "by sound" but without any success unfortunately.

[elfin dragon]

someone know how to fix this ? i tryd many things by now and it still appears after i build for 4-5 hours if i adventure no problems.. i can do that 10 hours with no problems at all.. but as soon as i build for 3-5 hours it always crashes im downloading it new in hope that will fix it now..

[worthy pumice]

Gonna have to elaborate. You mean build 3-5 hours in a single session? Or total building time per the entire save game? Hardware specs would help as well.

[elfin dragon]

one session

i build longer but crash doesnt allow it.. so i join back und build further

[cold bridge]

Is anyone else having issues with the Twitch Drops not being available? I earned the Fluffy set.. I've worn the Fluffy set... now it's saying I can't use them?

[terse kayak]

Just recently purchased the game I go to load it and then it force closes itself

[terse kayak]

I didn't receive any sort of crash log either.

[forest heart]

What are your system specs?

I unistalled the game now I'm getting this

[cold bridge]

Has there been any discussions about game saves not loading enemies after defeating the last boss?

[forest heart]

Can you type /minidump in this channel, you'll get a DM from a bot with a list of things to try.

[forest heart]

Restart your computer/steam.

[cold bridge]

Make sure your hard drive isn't full.

[terse kayak]

It's not there's 1.2tb of free storage

[forest heart]

The enemy not spawning thing has been reported but i don't know if there any specific knowledge on it at the moment.

[cold bridge]

Thank you

[half kraken]

Hi
I still have this question mark labelled "cyclops cave near bridge" at everfrore keep. I was in a cyclops cave right there, killed that cyclops three times but can't get rid of the marker. What do I have to do?

[forest heart]

But please make a bug report in game with F1, the more they know the quicker they can find a solution ^^

[forest heart]

That is known, it's a bug, i think theres been words it might be corrected in a patch soon? But don't quote me on that.

[half kraken]

aye thanks

[terse kayak]

Is there a way to see in-game fps?

As this game is ripping my computer to shreds

[half kraken]

seeing the fps won't make it better 😂 but you can turn that on in the steam settings

[cold bridge]

Turn it on through Steam.. I'd have to google it to see how.. so you can google it also.

[terse kayak]

I just wanna see what fps I'm sitting at so thanks for the dumb comment

[half kraken]

yay, just kidding, sorry! but it was rather silly than dumb, wasn't it? I'd say, dumb is the one not seeing the joke inside 😘
Go in the steam launcher, settings >in game > there you can turn it on and set the position

[terse kayak]

In-game is fine, but whenever I open the to view crafting or etc the game starts smoking some weird shit

[frosty apex]

Hi, I have a problem with the Young Fell Dragon. Did the whole beacons thing, he showed up, we fought, he killed us a bunch of times and we gave up for the time.
Anyway, the next time I opened the game (hosting locally) the dragon was gone. Tried opening and closing, tried removing every single flame alter from the entire region and walking/climbing/mining all the way to the keep and then to the dragon. No luck.
All the beacons are lit, journal says that it's time to kill him and all.
Any advice?

[brave girder]

hi, anyone playing on steam deck? I'm having problems to enter dedicated servers, list shows and I can scroll but I can only click buttons on the right side of screen. Join button never highlights

[thin temple]

look again at the balfires you have 8 totaly maybe you have to actived again some, i have it a view days ago two from the 8 was not burning so activate them again

and my dragon spawn again 🙂

[azure spindle]

Hello everybody. I have a brief question: We set up server before the last update, and some NPCs like the huntress are acting strange. Is this an already known issue/bug? And if yes, do we have to start all over again?

[frosty apex]

Nope. Didn't work 🤷

[marble gale]

Hey folks. I've noticed something troubling: when i use undo build action, it actually continues to consume materials rather than restoring them. Not sure if we're aware of this or not

[dim wind]

is the game engine still unoptimized, because this game is almost the only game my gpu gets realy hot, or are there any settings i can use to reduce gpu heat ?

[near granite]

For testing purpose I would put everything down to performance settings and check if that makes a difference. And are you at minimum requirements?

[near granite]

Just checked building blocks and terrain and got my materials back. Maybe try file verification? Are you using a specific material? 🤔

[marble gale]

I noticed it happening with rough stone blocks

[near granite]

"Roughly cut stone blocks": I get everything back. Or do you mean the regular stone blocks?

Get everything back with those too.

[marble gale]

Specifically I placed the large 4m foundation blocks of Roughly Cut in dirt, removed them, then undid build action'd until it was never done in the first place

[near granite]

Oh. I see what you mean. 👀

[marble gale]

Well at least it isn't just me

😂

[near granite]

The "undo" takes the materials for "rebuilding" the block but does not give them back when removing the block again.

[marble gale]

That's a much better way of expressing the problem than what I was saying

Thank you

[near granite]

And it seems like it doesn't affect all shapes / blocks.

[marble gale]

Huh. That's actually interesting

[near granite]

2x2 rough stone block (1m) behaves for example.

[marble gale]

And 4x4 in other materials?

[near granite]

2m and 4m sections don't behave for that one.

I tried with wood with the same result: 2m and 4m sections not behaving.

Same for rooftiles.

[marble gale]

Is this regardless of the dirt placement, I'm assuming?

[near granite]

Yes. I placed them "mid air".

[upbeat nova]

I've had crashes starting the game at the title, clicking on any of the 3 server options, clicking play on my own server, when dying in a friends server, and just now when changing settings at the title screen

[zinc oak]

Steam and Twitch control most of the stuff with twitch drops. You might have to check with one of their tech supports.

[zinc oak]

This error can occur for several reasons, like steam not having permission to access the drive, a corrupted file, a bad steam installation to a failing drive or another piece of software interfering with it such as your firewall or virus scanner.

I would first check to see if any other of your games are having issues with downloading updates or anything - after that I would clear your download cache inside steam and try again. If you continue to have issues, run a CHKDSK on the drive steam is installing to to make sure the drive is still okay, and check your permissions on that drive.

[zinc oak]

This is happening on a server?

[zinc oak]

Can you be more specific what you mean by "acting strange?"

[frosty apex]

Local host on my PC with friends joining in

[zinc oak]

And just to be sure you guys have closed the game and/or not been in the region for at least 30 minutes?

[vestal harbor]

all NPC pathway are broken, i guess everybody got this issue. Also all NPC interest points also are broken , even more if POT are placed in mid air

[mint sail]

You've got Yaks out?

[zinc oak]

Please type /minidump in this chat and follow the instructions that will be sent via DM. This resolved the most common causes for crashing in the game. If you continue to have issues after following all the steps, come back in and we'll try and figure out what is going on.

[zinc oak]

Yes. the devs are aware of the issue and working on a fix for it.

[vestal harbor]

yea i guess, am not worried 😄

[zinc oak]

but I am not sure what you mean by "NPC interest points" are you referring to their quests?

[vestal harbor]

i refer to lamp, chair, picture and stuff that NPC looks for animation interest

[azure spindle]

Thank you so much for the answer ❤️ all of the helpers here are amazing 🙂

[zinc oak]

Ah, so you are just saying they are having trouble getting to them or interacting with things like chairs?

[vestal harbor]

exactely, sorry for my frenchglish

[zinc oak]

Oh no, your english is perfectly fine. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't another issue on top of the pathing one there. 🙂

[rocky zephyr]

Hello everyone, my friend got a black screen with a white retangle on it everytime he launch the game, already installed last nvdia drivers and reinstalled the game

[zinc oak]

This is a rare issue that some people are having with the Performance Monitoring in Geforece Experience, specifically in Shadowplay. Turning off the performance monitoring will get rid of the box.

How to turn off the setting:
• Hit Alt-Z and click on Settings.
• In the general tab under "In-Game Overlay," click on settings
• Scroll all the way to the bottom and click on "Performance Monitoring.
• Turn "Always Show Reflex Flash Indicator" off and that should fix the issue.

[rocky zephyr]

Thanks gonna try it soon as possible

[rocky zephyr]

Nvm, he has an AMD graphic card

[zinc oak]

The only time I have ever heard of this happening on a system without shadowplay installed, it was on a system where someone was using the Geforce Now cloud gaming service that was using shadowplay. Unfortunately I don't know how they resolved that issue.

[rocky zephyr]

Should i contact game support?

[zinc oak]

This is an issue with a 3rd party software overlay. It is not something Keen would have any control over.

I would check and make sure they don't have any legacy software installed from a previous NVidia card, then just start turning off overlays like steam, discord and the like.

[zinc oak]

If they are using a cloud gaming service - I would have them contact that services tech support and see if they have shadowplay installed.

[rocky zephyr]

never had nvidia cards or shadowplay installed

[zinc oak]

and are they using a cloud gaming service of any kind?

[rocky zephyr]

no, playing only by steam

[frosty apex]

Yep. Both

[zinc oak]

We had one other person who had a similar issue earlier this week. Let me search back and see if I can't see how they resolved it.

[zinc oak]

oh right - I remember this one now. 🤣 the resolution they thought fixed it would not affect the game in anyway - HOWEVER - you might want the host to fully restart their computer to see if that fixes the issue.

If that doesn't work have the host verify their game files in steam and see if that does it. Every zone in the game that is not covered by a flame altar should be completely resetting. Bosses and some other mobs are slightly different, in that they check for a flame altar around them as well, so make sure your altars are all back beyond the fight area/crater area for the dragon - I would suggest at least in the tunnel behind the respawn point and keep it a level 1 altar.

[obsidian summit]

I promise I'm not moving these guys on my own. but I am laughing at this one. anyone who has been around goats, they will climb seemingly anything. I found this guy up here starving and while this is funny. he isn't being very productive if he is starving.

[zinc oak]

There is a known issue with the pathing of NPC's and animals. the devs are working on a fix.

[bleak night]

Hey all, I've come across a very strange issue. My world that me and my friends play on seems to be possibly corrupt? When trying to walk/run/jump/fly we all seem to move normally then move back every second and just sort of glitch around everywhere. The server resources are all around 20% and everything was running fine but now it seems to suddenly have this issue? Its not playable like this and we have all put in 80-90 hours each building this world and really dont want to have to start all over. The last backup I have is from a long time ago (around flame level 4, now level 7) so we would lose alot of progress. I've tried hosting the old save to see if the issue is server side and the server runs fine on old backups. I've even sent the game save to my friend to let them host and the issue persists. Sorry for the long post but really want this to be fixed so we can play the game again

I can send a clip of the issue if that makes it easier to understand

[zinc oak]

It sounds like ping issues more than a game corruption, but you might want to check in #server-support just to be sure there isn't another possible issue happening.

[bleak night]

I would agree but I've tried hosting it locally and playing it on private but it still happens, feels more like some kind of error in the world that is causing it

[zinc oak]

but I would at least restart the server to make sure it isn't just in need of a reboot.

[zinc oak]

When you play in it solo directly from your computer, you still have the issue?

[bleak night]

Yeah 😦

[zinc oak]

You say there has been quite a lot of building happening. I am assuming you have a rather large build?

[bleak night]

Yeah theres alot of building thats been done

I've tried teleporting to the opposite side of the map (i assume that would unrender alot of the buildings) and the issue still happens

[zinc oak]

Hey all, I've come across a very strange

[sage grotto]

Hi not seeing any recent posts searching for bloodletting but just checking if this skill is bugged? I have it (plus chain hit) and it doesn't seem to be spawning any orbs that I or my group can see. Specifically when using spells and critting.

[zinc oak]

I would check in #combat-and-skills - I am not sure about specific bugs with skills.

[sage grotto]

I see one person saying it's bugged with eternal fireball and ice bolt (I pretty much use fireball most cases) so maybe that's it? Figured I'd check here for issues...

[zinc oak]

We don't really hear much about bugged skills in here. They either go directly to a bug report or are talked about in the skills channel - so I am not really sure. 🙂 They should know though - it can't hurt to ask - they don't bite over there. 😄

[sage grotto]

I just figured this was a troubleshooting issue but sure, I can ask there

[zinc oak]

If a skill is bugged, there is nothing we can do on the player side to fix it - it's something the devs have to fix.

[sage grotto]

Yeah maybe my misunderstanding on what troubleshooting refers to, no worries

[zinc oak]

It's not a problem. 🙂 Hopefully they will have the information you are looking for.

[spice quail]

anybody else have the problem of enemies still spawning in your base?

[zinc oak]

Are they spawning in your base or just walking in from outside, or is it spiders?

[spice quail]

Spiders and their cocoons

[zinc oak]

Have you destroyed the cocoons and they keep coming back?

[spice quail]

Yep,everytime I come in I have to destroy them,some will spawn above ground and some will spawn under my floor

[zinc oak]

okay - I have seen at least one other person mention this before, but it seems to be a relatively rare occurrence (either people don't build there a lot, or it's not happening to everyone).

If you can please explain all this in a bug report by hitting F1 in game so that the devs can have this information. Add a zipped copy of your save folder so they can see what you are talking about as well.

[spice quail]

Will do,random question..do you think it might be because under my floor is still hollow?

[zinc oak]

I am not sure what would be causing it to happen. IIRC (it's been about 4 or 5 months) In the previous person's build it was in a basement they didn't re-do.

It might be an issue with the egg sacks themselves, or something causing it to happen. I can't really say for sure.

[spice quail]

Ok well thanks for the response nonetheless

[obsidian summit]

I guess in the meantime. I'll put some goat feed pans on the rooftops

[quasi crystal]

Hi all! I have a strange recent problem- in the last week or so I've had two multiplayer sessions connecting to a local server where, on connecting, both Enshrouded -and- my Discord becomes incredibly laggy

I don't think it's my internet either- does anyone know of any strange interactions between Enshrouded's multiplayer and discord?

[zinc oak]

There is nothing in the game that should be affecting discord at all. I would check your system resources to see if something is spiking or having issues, or if something like a memory stick may have gone bad.

Check your GPU drivers and close discord while connecting to see if the issue continues.

Also make sure discord overlay is turned off.

[quasi crystal]

Weird thing is that I don't have similar issues with other online games- I have WoW booted up right now, for example, and no discord issues

(I also do have discord overlay turned off)

[zinc oak]

Wow is also a very old game which require a lot less system resources

[quasi crystal]

That's true- but I have a pretty beefy gaming laptop and the game was running fine aboooout a week ago?

Like, no lag at all

I can run Elden Ring a-okay too, so it's not a memory stick

[zinc oak]

as I said try disabling discord overlay and check your systems for spikes. You can use GPU-Z to get more detailed informaiton

All games are different in many ways and are affected by things differently. "it works on another game" doesn't help narrow down anything, unfortunately.

[quasi crystal]

I totally get what you mean there- I guess I find it especially unusual because this same game was also running fine a week ago and I haven't changed any of my hardware or encountered any other difficulties

[zinc oak]

However the discord acting up is something strange.

[quasi crystal]

The only thing I can think of that has changed is the patch that ran about a week ago (though I have no idea why that would cause anything lmao)

[zinc oak]

One sec, gonna make a thread

Hi all! I have a strange recent problem

[quasi crystal]

Oh, unrelated to my previous problem, I've seen this, too, funnily enough, in the new zone :)

[faint siren]

I am having this same problem, when I launch multiplayer, my network totally lags out.

[zinc oak]

Discord as well?

[faint siren]

Reading your guys' thread now - Teamspeak. But its anything. I can't search on Firefox or anything

[vagrant grotto]

Hey @zinc oak How do you roll back on a character save?

Remember how my last character couldn't equip more then 6 items, My new character is doing the same thing

[zinc oak]

It's a bit tricky, especially if you have cloud save enabled.

[vagrant grotto]

Cracks Knuckles

[zinc oak]

lol. You'll have to copy all your game files from the remote folder to the local folder. turn off cloudsave, delete the character file with the newest time stamp - or all of them that were there after the issue happened - load the game with cloud save off and then move all the files back to the remote folder when you are sure the save you have is the one you want and has been loaded and saved with a newer timestamp than the one steam cloud has

SAVE FILE LOCATIONS:

For local save files:
..\Users\%username%\Saved Games\Enshrouded
For cloud save files:
..\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[YourSteamID]\1203620\remote
YourSteamID is your unique Steam ID number

[vagrant grotto]

So do i need to delete the ones that only say Character-#?

[zinc oak]

I believe that should be enough, yeah.

[vagrant grotto]

Oh sick! Ok it works thank you!

[final summit]

Hey, my friend is having A LOT OF lag with my game even though both of our internets are good. To the point where it takes minutes for him to realize hes dead

We joined another world and realized it was the game

[quick junco]

My friend and I just picked up this game. I am able to play with no issues but they cannot create their own world separately. They get a black loading screen and it goes no where.
They've uninstalled the game, updated their drivers, put all settings on the lowest. I don't recall what else they've tried but we're just running out of options here. Contemplating refunding the game if they can't even play it.

[zinc oak]

It's pretty difficult doing troubleshooting through a third party - is it possible they could come in here?

[quick junco]

Yeah, lemme direct them here.

[zinc oak]

If you aren't also having issues, would it be possible for your friend to come in here?

[final summit]

They dont have discord, theyre to young for it(kid im babysitting)

I get the lag when i join others world

Our internets are pretty good, we have no trouble in any other game

[zinc oak]

That kind of lag is not normal, even with the current issues some people are having with optimization. If you are both in the same location, it's possible it's a connectivity issue with the internet. Games like these (voxel-based survival-craft games) send quite a bit of data compared to other games.

[final summit]

The game doesnt tell him hes dead nor lets him teleport

It also doesnt reconize when he dies nor does any actions other than walk around, i also dont see him move.

Its like he crashes without actually crashing

We are not in the same location

[zinc oak]

Okay so you are not currently in the same house with them? Sorry, you said you were babysitting them.

[quick junco]

@stuck mason

[final summit]

We are not, sorry for the confusion

[zinc oak]

🤣 It's okay. I would assume you do live near each other though - so distance wouldn't cause ping issues.

And when you connect - you are having the same issues as them (not able to teleport, crashing without crashing and not knowing you are dead?)

[final summit]

Close, the game doesnt tell them they are dead. When they die it just shows their health is at 0 but they are still able to move on their screen

Its like crashing without actually crashing

[zinc oak]

You are having the same issues though? or just lag while connecting to another server. Sorry trying to narrow down their issue.

[final summit]

I am not having the same issue

Its only lag when connecting to another server

I think i found the issue actually

[zinc oak]

okay - likely unrelated then. I would suggest having them verify their game files on steam

[final summit]

I found the issue, its computer side

Sorry for the confusion and such

[zinc oak]

What was the issue, if you don't mind me asking - in case I see it again?

[final summit]

His stuff was set to another location, it was a ping issue

[zinc oak]

Steam location?

[final summit]

Yeah

He was set to europe, vpn usage

[zinc oak]

Ah. yeah that'll do some odd things.

[final summit]

Im not 100% sure, im not tech savvy

[zinc oak]

Have them check in the game with you. If the issue isn't corrected, I would say have them follow the steps in Minidump to be sure - and to make sure their system is above minimum specs for the game.

[final summit]

Thank you for trying to help though!

Alright, thank you

We just got back on together

Its working without lag

[zinc oak]

Cool - glad it got worked out.

[ionic stratus]

Question: I have retrieve the bellows, it validaqted the quest but didn't show up in the inventory, the Smith validated it but I have nowere to craft the blast furnace is there anything missing for that quest ?

[zinc oak]

You have to loot the bellows off the mini-boss guy in the forge.

[lunar garnet]

anyone has an idea how to complete "Cavern Curiosities" Quest? or is this a bug? was able to find the locked golden chest in Cove but it didn't complete...

[zinc oak]

Quest Issue - Cavern Curiosity

[jovial turtle]

When i try to connect to long-time working server I get "The server is full or unavailalble. I've restarted the server to no avail. Playing enshrouded.

[zinc oak]

I replied to you in enshrouded chat.

[jovial turtle]

I read that reply. Do you know how to check server version numbers?

[rotund marsh]

Hey i just want to ask if farming for resources for blocks like hallow halls or any other pre built thing in the map is going to be obsolete since we can just claim whatever we want with altars and "cheese?" those blocks out. I dont know if this is how game is meant to be played in the final version but it feels cheaty and not something that is intended. Somebody correct me if im wrong but this shouldnt be the way its played .. ?

[opaque pagoda]

Hey!
I have been experiencing performance issues since 4 days ago. The game is stuttering from the second I start it. I tried all kinds of setting but nothing seemed to work. The game was working fine before. Has anything changed?

I have a 4060 with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 if that matters at all.

[ionic stratus]

That's the thing I did that and got the notification 😅

[near granite]

Aside from the fact that it's just "visual difference" between building blocks: We are allowed to take over any space that's not blocked on purpose and being allowed to pick up the blocks is part of it. However: I know at least 2 where you need to learn the recipe to get any blocks to begin with. And it is faster for most block types to craft them yourself instead of picking up single blocks. But feel free to send feedback about it through the game. 🤷‍♀️

[near granite]

There wasn't any update for the game within the past 4 days. Have you tried file verification to make sure everything is fine in that regard?

[rotund marsh]

Im saying that some building blocks do require time to be crafted like crafting a tar or say brick for example ,just taking it from the already pre built structure is kinda making it instantanious ,but .. This is just my oppinion and how I feel about it ,I do understand that some do like that aspect of the game.

Also not to mention early game mramor blocks .. that one especially

[rugged nebula]

Trying to find out if this is a "me" issue or something in the game. I'm finding a lot of my textures are fuzzy looking, seems they will start fuzzy and then most of the time will resolve into the correct texture after a couple minutes in the area, or sometimes after i leave and return. i've played around with the settings and it doesnt seem to impact anything. it varies between impacting things like bricks/buildings and placed items (right now its on placed items lol) example:
edit: also my GPU fan sounds like its leaving for orbit, no matter what settings i use... which only happens on this game.

[near granite]

Hence the feedback especially in regards to Hollow Halls. Because I don't think we're supposed to take blocks from the first hall for example to begin with. 🤔

[near granite]

And temperature being very high too?

Can you check your pc if it might require cleaning?

[rugged nebula]

yeah, normally it runs about 80F and its been jumping up to 120F

oh its clean lol

this is the only game that causes this, and i'm running a 4060ti card so it should be able to handle the graphics like butter.

[near granite]

120 F is close to 50°C. That's not "dramatic". But your fan shouldn't start overworking itself with that temperature. 🤔

[rugged nebula]

its not dramatic, no. but its a clear jump as soon as i tab in/out of the game

more just trying to figure out why half my textures go to applesauce when i return to my base. its not that big of a base so its not like i have millions of things to render lol

[near granite]

Aside from temperature jumping: It clearly shouldn't result in graphics issue with that temperature. 😓

[rugged nebula]

pretty sure the temp isnt the issue, so much as an indicator that the game is either overworking or leaky.

[near granite]

Have you tried file verification? And maybe redo shaders. 🤔

[rugged nebula]

yep

i've dropped all the settings, reinstalled, verified files, etc

the normal troubleshooting stuff.

[zinc sonnet]

Hey guys, I've ran into an issue on a dedicated server where wildlife is not respawning, nor are the enemies/bosses in poi's. It's stopped quest progession for several quests. I have removed altars from areas, though none should have been close enough to stop a spawn and some poi's didn't have an altar anywhere near them. I've tried rebooting the server and verifying through g portal. Is anyone aware of a fix for this?

[zinc oak]

This is a tech support channel for player-to-player assistance with client-side technical issues.

Quest Issue: A Blast Furnace for the Blacksmith

[zinc oak]

This is a known issue with the texture streaming in the game.

It is, however, and old issue and something they have been working on to fix for quite some time. It does seem to happen more frequently the larger a save file becomes, though.

[rugged nebula]

makes sense. i've uncovered the whole map save for the little minor bits in albaneve that im still working on

[zinc oak]

It's more about how much you build or how much you travel. However this issue shouldn't be affecting the temperature of your system at all. I would certainly consider vacuuming or blowing out your box to clean it if you are having temperature issues.

[rugged nebula]

i'm not having temperature issues aside from noticing the fans going crazy when i tab into the game.

my system is clean lol it gets a blow out once a month.

[zinc oak]

Well, a fan spinning up does imply something is heating up. The game has no direct control of the fans in your system.

[rugged nebula]

i am fully aware of how computers work, thank you lol. the game has no direct control, but it can struggle to render properly or efficiently which will cause the gpu to warm up and activate the fans.

Sounds like there already aware of the texture issue, hopefuly when they fix it they fix whatever leak is causing the GPU increase because its isolated to this game.

[mellow sluice]

Anyone run into the issue where the items in chests wont display when opened?

[zinc oak]

An interesting thing you might want to look into is to make sure that the refresh rate of your computer is set to match your monitor. It has worked for others to fix constant fans running.

[zinc oak]

I haven’t heard anything. Are you solo or multiplayer?

[mellow sluice]

Multiplayer

[zinc oak]

Are you joining. Hosting or joining a server?

[mellow sluice]

Hosting though the game itself

[zinc oak]

Okay - go ahead and exit the game and verify your game files through steam.

[mellow sluice]

RGR

This is what I see just for clarification, verifying now.

[zinc oak]

Also - I can't very well assume everyone is proficient in computers here, and have no way of knowing who is or isn't based on a small interaction - therefor I have to assume people don't know, or else something that might be obvious to you or I might be missed. Don't take offense to it.

[untold birch]

I have collected all cyclops parts and that marker still show on the map. Must be a bug

[rugged nebula]

i'm not. but i wasn't asking about temperature issues, i was trying to find out if there was some setting or known issue with the textures being fuzzy at random.

[zinc oak]

Sorry I thought I saw someone talking with you about it above.

[rugged nebula]

they were, but they misunderstood my question.

[sweet anvil]

Since the new update, my single player game will not exit correctly. It goes to black screen and I have to force quit it. Anyone know how to fix this?

[zinc oak]

This is a known issue, yeah.

[zinc oak]

Verify your game files in steam and see if it is still happening after.

[sweet anvil]

ok thanks i will do that

[untold birch]

I get the same screen about half the time I exit the game

[zinc oak]

Gotcha, sorry I may have skimmed through a bit. I would check the refresh rate in windows to make sure - if you haven't already though. It has fixed the fans issue for at least one person.

[untold birch]

There is so much that needs fixing for this game atm

[rugged nebula]

its early access, thats the point. basically we're paying to be beta-testers.

[untold birch]

I understand. Hopefully they fix the current issues before releasing new content.

[sweet anvil]

how do i verify the files?

[zinc oak]

We are paying to be able to play the game before release. An effect of this is that there will be bugs in development.

[zinc oak]

Right click on the game in the list in your steam library. Click properties, then Installed Files. The option will be to the right.

[sweet anvil]

thank u!

[zinc oak]

The amount of bugs in the game, compared to other EA games is quite low. Most of the issues I come across in here are due to third party software issues or issues with the systems playing them (or game file corruption). Only the quest issues that popped up recently and this texture streaming issue (Which has proven complicated for them, but they have improved on) have really been dev side.

At least from what I see in here.

Oh and a couple of oopsies with the naming of some armor - which may have happened in localization - but that doesn't really impact gameplay too much.

I don't have the patience to deal with tons of issues the player has no control over, and probably wouldn't be here if the majority of issues were dev-side. 🤣

[mellow sluice]

Ok, so not only chests but all crafting stations are borked. I also do not have the option that usually shows above everyone/everything with the E when approached; I can open the crafters(NPC) inventories but not the helpers.

[zinc oak]

Just out of curiosity, is your HUD displaying?

[mellow sluice]

Negative

[zinc oak]

okay hit escape and turn your hud back on. It doesn't show this stuff when the hud is turned off.

[mellow sluice]

I thought I put that in the original message. my apologies

[zinc oak]

lol. It's okay 😄

[mellow sluice]

I had no idea that was a thing. I must have hit it by accident, but thank you for the help.

[zinc oak]

I turn my HUD off frequently for screenshots and the only reason I thought of it was because I do the same thing (too often) and try and figure out why it's not coming up xD

[zinc oak]

Glad we were able to figure it out. Happy shrouding!

[mellow sluice]

you too

[rocky mist]

Look what happened to my map. Has this ever happened to anyone before?

[zinc oak]

This has been found to be due to a corruption in the character save file. Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any fix for it, and as far as I am aware, a specific cause for this corruption has not been found. While I am not sure whether this is a "dev-fixable" issue as the cause is unknown, I would suggest making a bug report (F1 from inside the game) and include a zipped copy of your save folder to help them determine the cause, if it is.

Life Saver. Thx!

[blissful igloo]

I've also been having a lot of vkWaitForFences() failed with error 'VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST' issues since this last patch. Been playing since the first days of release with no issues. Now there's no way I can finish a hollowed halls because I'll crash. Attaching the most recent log file, but the /crash_dumps folder is full of them and they all end the same way - with an unrecoverable GPU crash. Running the latest nVidia drivers, Vulkan is up to date. 9800x3d, 4070ti super, 32GB of ram on a NVME SSD. My wife is on a 5800x3d, 3080, 32GB of ram and she has no issues at all.

[zinc oak]

Have you done the solutions in the /minidump command in this chat?

[blissful igloo]

I also really like the ASCII Enshrouded art.

[blissful igloo]

Yeah - verified already, used the script to check vulkan and restore to basic, and also deleted the json file.

[zinc oak]

Unfortunately the "VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST" is a pretty generic error. I would certainly try the DDU as well to be sure it isn't something up with your driver.

I am seeing something else in here though - [graphics] Failed to allocate download buffer memory. a lot of it too.

This crash looks like it happened in multiplayer. Are you also having the same issue in solo play?

[blissful igloo]

I saw that, too. I'm self-hosting a server on a decent machine and my wife and I only play this together co-op.

[zinc oak]

Okay I am gonna make this a thread real fast so stuff doesn't get lost.

Crashing

[tardy olive]

it says search on this body in umbral hollow but nothing comes up, this has happened in multiple files, is this supposed to be anything?

forgot it's around here

[zinc oak]

Honestly not 100% sure. I would check in #spoilers-ahead or #enshrouded-chat to see if maybe it's a quest you don't have yet or something you have already gotten. They might have an idea there.

[tardy olive]

will do! thank you

[crimson gust]

I've been having and issue with Enshrouded lately. I have a very high end PC with dual monitors but for some reason, when enshrouded is running, youtube will not work on the other screen. Doesnt buffer, or buffers very very slowly and eventually crashes. I dont have this issue with any other game. Anyone got any Ideas?

[vestal harbor]

Think it have been already reported (we never know) but this tomb doesnt trigger anything

ikko quest book#5

i noticed also 2 books that arent RED anymore (probly read by another player) but quest still available. Turn it hard to figure out when you walk around in a town

[zinc oak]

I haven't heard of anyone else having issues with this before. Are you running the YT app or just running YT on a browser?

[crimson gust]

browser

[zinc oak]

So the whole browser crashes, or just the page itself?

[crimson gust]

just the page and its specifically youtube. Other sites function fine. For more detail, if I alt+tab to the browser that youtube is on, it will resume buffering and function as normal, its only when im tabbed into enshrouded that it happens.

[zinc oak]

Please report any bugs you find in game by pressing F1 or selecting the option from the escape menu.

[crimson gust]

is this a bug with the game lol?

[zinc oak]

that was a response to the person who commented after you.

[crimson gust]

👍

[zinc oak]

I'm at a loss as to what might be happening here. Other games not doing it doesn't mean it's something specifically with the game - it could be a lot of things... but if you have a lot of things eating at your VRAM or RAM it's possible. I would check with a YT support to see if they have any known issues going on that could be making it happen - and check to make sure you just aren't overwhelming your network connection or your VRAM/System Memory with a bunch of browser tabs or a lot of software running.

[crimson gust]

I think it could be the ram as well. I have a very concentrated and complex base where I have heavily teraformed the enviornment. I'm just suprised because I have an RTX 3090 with 24 gigs of ram for games just like this one so I'm shocked it would be able to deplete it.

[zinc oak]

24 gigs goes fast these days xD I'm currently using 19 with just the game, a couple of browser tabs and discord going lol

[crimson gust]

thats probably what it is then. Time to get a 5090 lol

[zinc oak]

well I was talking system ram there. xD

Only using about 7G of VRam

[crimson gust]

enshrouded with podcasts/youtube documentaries is my happy place after a long day at work. Gotta figure it out. If its hardware, then I will fix the issue 😎

Thanks for the input

[zinc oak]

It might be good to pick up GPU-Z and keep an eye on things. It'll tell you what might be getting overloaded. And don't discount YT having issues too.

[robust path]

Hi, i reinstalled the game, and tried to play single player, and im getting stuck in the enshrouding loading screen, is there any links to troubleshooting this?

[zinc oak]

What are your PC specs?

and the GPU?

There is the problem. Your GPU is under spec. Though the game's minimum specs have always stated the GPU needs 6GB Vram, up until this most recent update some people were able to run the game with less. This last update has made it big enough that now those under-spec GPU's can't run it anymore.

[robust path]

I see, thank you!

[zinc oak]

No problem. Wish I had better news for you. But it might be time to start preparing to update your system. Your CPU is also quite old as well, and your GPU is looking at maybe 1-2 years before NVidia stops supporting it.

[robust path]

Yeh, thats when I was planning on updating it, thankfully prices are going back down on graphics cards.

[worthy gate]

My dudes I have been trying for 2 hours and I cannot figure this out. I just want to run a dedicated server on my PC for my friends and I to play in. I installed the dedicated server, forwarded the ports, edited the json file to put in the server name and password. If I try to connect to it, it shows up, but it connects and then quickly says "ERROR: Server unavailable or full"

[zinc oak]

You can try the solution in this pinned post - otherwise you may have to ask in #server-support

but I would try the solution first to be sure.

[worthy gate]

you mean changing the download region? didnt work

[zinc oak]

I would check with #server-support then. They are the server-smart ones around here. 😄

[brittle heath]

question are the enemies supposed to all vanish after you kill the second to last boss?

[zinc oak]

No, but you aren't the first person who has lost their mob spawns. Some people have found that increasing the difficulty setting for enemy amounts brings them back, but not always.

Please submit a bug report (F1 from inside the game) and include all information you might feel is relevant. Also include a zipped copy of your save files in the report. Hopefully they will be able to figure out what is going on.

[real cape]

Hi, does anyone know why I keep getting "Server is full or unavailable" when I try to join my friend's server. I can join sometimes but will DC in a couple mins

Only happens after we played in the new biome

[zinc oak]

You can try this resolution here: https://discord.com/channels/1046840540550942720/1281803116450283623 Otherwise not really sure.

[terse gate]

hello. anyone know why textures suddenly takes too long to load? preprocessing on start-up also became slow

[zinc oak]

This is an old, known issue with texture streaming. They have worked on it in the past and improved it a lot, but haven't been able to eliminate it completely. It happens more frequently in larger builds or when doing a lot of travelling in the game.

[terse gate]

oh it says compiling shaders

[real cape]

Thanks ! I'll give it a try

[terse gate]

but yeah it was loading faster awhile ago before this happened on my next start up

[spring badge]

i need some advice on game crash. i have difficulty remaining in Enshrouded when i am on the game. i could be away from the game to chat on my discord (as Enshrouded doesn't have an in-game chat); so i can be typing; explaining or conversing with a friend for a bit about the game. and the game crash with a pop up window. it had been more frequent but it never before. i contemplate in sending ticket but i'm not sure how dxdrag runs if the issue had passed. any advice?

[zinc oak]

Does this only happen when you are tabbed out of the game?

[spring badge]

yes. i have to in order to type on discord

[zinc oak]

Okay - Can you do me a favor and open up Device Manager and take a screenshot of it after clicking the little arrow to the left of "Display Adaptors"

[zinc oak]

Okay - was just checking to make sure your computer wasn't switching to an integrated GPU when alt-tabbing which could cause some issues before sending you along the typical route.

If you type /minidump in this chat you will get a DM with the most common fixes for crashing issues with the game that solves most issues. If you complete all of them and are still having the issue, go ahead and come back here and we'll see if we can't figure out what is going on.

[spring badge]

okay thank you. i will try. not a technical person.

[zinc oak]

They come with links and pretty decent instructions, but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

[spring badge]

will do. thank you

[fathom matrix]

hmmm im now realy confused

• i installed my OS new
• on new hardware
• downloaded enshrouded
  and it downloads 9GB on kinda every 3-4 start ...
  btw the file integrity is fine and nothing changed
  (sha256 compared all files they are always the same)

[zinc oak]

Try turning off Shader Pre-caching in steam. That's usually the culprit.

[calm pike]

Hi everyone, having an issue that happens regardless of which world I load. Yesterday I was playing just fine with a friend, but today we go to play and both of us are seeing the entire world like this

[trail wave]

Hi , somehow I have huge issues when trying to join the Game hosted on my friend PC , even if we are on the same wifi network. Either I can join and the world does not seems to load completely , and every thing is laggy. Or I can not join at all : loading forever... and other question : why do I have 20+ DAT files in my folder game that takes 31Gbs space . can i erase them ? thank you for any tips.

[half sage]

Is this a bug or am I playing this wrong? Why is my roof tile so small?

[coral haven]

I just bought the game, and it's crashing every time I get in. Don't think is a hardware problem cause It's good enough to play the game

[worthy gate]

I'm brand new but there's very intricate building in this game. You can definitely build bigger roof tiles but that small one you're looking at is for deeper aesthetic builds

[half sage]

How do you change the size?

[fair burrow]

have mini dumps and tryed all the steps

[granite edge]

Is fell dragon bugged?Stood in on howling peak 5-10 minutes dragon just kept circling overhead.Bow shots couuld not reach it.

[polar token]

Ever saw.. leaving a game opened, going lunch, coming back, you're dead and your house is gone? but some altars are still there..

[molten rock]

Are you hosting (as in the server is accessible to other people)? If yes, then you didn't password protect it well enough and got griefed (death was probably wolf or fell though). If no, then yeah the house being gone is weird. If you do backups (or maybe cloud saves if they have one from another day), they can be used to fix it back to your last save.

[steel granite]

I have defeated the dragon a few times but my server still does not show the "dragon rises" logo when you log in

[zinc oak]

Please type /minidump in this chat and follow the instructions that will be sent to you in a DM from "The Flame" bot.

[marble gale]

Hey folks. I've come across an issue on a dedicated server world. Deposits of some materials are not respawning despite being well outside of any flame alter ranges

This is after days of non-interaction with the sites

[zinc oak]

The game itself doesn't currently have any language setting that I am aware of aside from those on your PC or in steam.

To check the game's language settings in steam right click on the game in the library list and click on Properties. The language setting should be the first option in the "General" tab.

what is going on here? This torch is not

[pliant tundra]

hey guys, I have a problem connecting to a friends gportal server we have played together before. today after i logged out from the server to rejoin, I couldn't. I have an infinite loading screen. The 2 others players can join perfectly, the server also has been restarted. I can play solo, create a host myself and have others join my game, and I can join any other server from the server list without any problems. I also tried to create a new character: after the intro cutscene I have a infinite loading screen again. What I have also done to trial and error: reboot system, reboot, router, repair game files via steam, uninstalling the game and fully reinstalling it.

[zinc oak]

What GPU are you using?

[pliant tundra]

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080

[zinc oak]

Have you had them reboot the server?

[pliant tundra]

yes, the server has been rebooted. nothing changed for me

[zinc oak]

As the issue is only happening on one specific server and no other servers it's sounding like this might be an issue somewhere with the server itself or the path that your data takes to get to that server.

Were you having problems with latency before and that's why you were relogging?

[pliant tundra]

I had no latency issues, I had a bug, where my body armour is getting longer and longer (like a extra long cape sticking to the ground). Therefore I wanted to relog, to fix it for my friend.

[zinc oak]

Ah - well in the future, removing the armor piece (or cosmetic) and putting it back on will fix the issue without reloading. But as for the issue - As you were in the game and only jumped out and back in again, and have verified your game files as well as rebooted your PC - I can't see any reason (other than some kind of weird and very specific save file corruption) that could be causing it.

That being said, you might want to have the server owner check in over on #server-support to see if they might know of something server-specific that might be occuring.

[placid egret]

Have a question for you all. I'm currently flame level 6. my highest altar is lvl 3 (just incase it matters)

when taking all the 1 stat per 2 flame level nodes I'm only seeing +2 total instead of +3 like i suspect. Is this a known bug? or something I'm missing?

[zinc oak]

I believe, since the flame altar starts at level 1, the increases happen at levels 3, 5, 7 etc - but you may want to verify that with the people over in #combat-and-skills to be sure. They are more up-to-date on specific skill bugs and how skills are supposed to work.

[pliant tundra]

Ok, I will let the server owner know. Bit the two others can join and play on the server still with no issues.

[zinc oak]

You have done all I can think of from your end already, and you are also able to join other Enshrouded servers without issue - So I am hoping they are aware of something that I am not that could be causing the issue. As the only thing I can think of is a save file corruption either on your end or the servers - for which there is no solution.

[unkempt heron]

Hey everyone I keep running into a problem connecting to a friends world where I put in the correct password and it tells me its invalid even after we changed the password to a new one it keeps saying its invalid idk if this is a common issue or not if anyone has a fix for this I would greatly appreciate it

[zinc oak]

I would check over in #server-support - They should be able to help you out.

[zinc oak]

I do know if special characters are used like letter accents and the like - they have been known to cause issues - so you might want to check there first.

[unkempt heron]

I've seen that's a problem we tried changing with no special characters or anything still didn't work for me I've reinstalled the game checked the files couldn't get it to work didnt know what to do after that

[zinc oak]

Are other people able to use the password and you aren't?

[unkempt heron]

Yes that's the part that has me confused and two days ago i didn't have this problem with the world

[zinc oak]

Passwords are case-sensitive, so be sure that your caps-lock is not on and you are using capital letters where they are supposed to be.

[unkempt heron]

everything is right on the password side on what it should be with caps and everything

[zinc oak]

Has the server owner restarted the server since you have had this issue?

[unkempt heron]

They have

[zinc oak]

Yeah - I would check over in #server-support then. We mainly deal with technical issues with solo-play here, so I am not really up on how server things are done or how the passwords work or authenticate - they are much better informaed on this and may have some idea that I do not.

[unkempt heron]

I shot a text over there thanks for the help where you could

[noble lark]

Stuck at level 35. I've been leveling up and when I leveled to 35 it shows me 426 into level 36, but is not moving anymore. The enemies show xp as I hit them its just not registering.

[zinc oak]

35 is the current level cap.

[eternal bloom]

Lately game has been crashing quite a bit when opening map and zooming out. Before it would just drop FPS to 5 or lower, but now crashes. Any solutions?

[zinc oak]

What are your system specs?

[eternal bloom]

i9 9900K, 32GB ram, Nvidia 4080 FE

[zinc oak]

Okay - go ahead and type /minidump in this chat and follow the instructions that will be sent to you in a DM from "The Flame" bot.

These resolutions fix a great majority of the issues that can cause crashing in the game. If you are still crashing after doing all the steps, return back here and we'll se if we can't figure out what is going on.

While there is an issue with framerate on the map, you shouldn't have been getting that large of a drop on your map - so hopefully these will fix both the crashing and whatever might have been causing you to drop that low in the first place.

[raven epoch]

is there a way to fix the mobs not spawning on a server or is it just a wait till the next patch kinda issue

[zinc oak]

Check #server-support

[polar token]

thanks for the info and thank you for taking the time to answer, much appreciated 🙂

[frosty kite]

Does anyone know if there is a bug with polished granite blocks right now? I put a flame altar down in a town made of it and am using the construction hammer to tear down the broken walls. Normally I would get building materials back when I do this, but in this case, the walls disappear (as expected) but I get neither granite nor polished granite blocks back. And I do know the recipe to make them so that's not it. In the same building there is half timbered block and I get that back when I destroy/delete it but not the granite

[zinc oak]

there is a known issue with the pre-placed blocks in the new area. the devs are aware of it and hope to have a fix out for it with the next patch.

[frosty kite]

awesome, thank you!

[eternal bloom]

Thank you. Did pretty much everything but I will post the mini dump logs here tomorrow.

[unborn umbra]

Hello ! I have an issue with a quest right now. I did everything in KindleWastes Hollow Halls, including finding all artifacts (3 books). I even did it a second time and have now doubles of each book.... My quest won't validate for some reason. Is it a bug or did I miss something ?

[zinc oak]

Hello ! I have an issue with a quest

[trail thorn]

has the performance degraded after the recent patch? Previously i was getting 1440p ultra dlss quality 65 constant,for some reason it has dropped down to 35-40s and the game stutters like crazy..worst part is cpu ultilization tops at 20-25% usage max while the gpu doesnt always use 95-100% where it should..

[zinc oak]

As the game is developed and gets larger, and as world saves get larger, performance will degrade slightly. If your gpu utilization is dropping you can check your GPU settings to check if the power setting might be allowing your GPU to go idle. I know mine will do that from time to time when it's not on the performance setting.

Keep in mind, upping that setting will consistently draw more power though.

[trim locust]

heyyyy it's patch daaaayyyyyyy

what a woooonderful daaaaayyyyyy

[cobalt patrol]

Do you finally fix me?

[trim locust]

Can't fix what's perfect

[cobalt patrol]

Awww.

[languid minnow]

How do you update a dedicated server?

[trim locust]

#server-support would be a better place to ask

[pallid sleet]

Do you guys know from the problem that y comfort level is out of sudden stuck on 4? My normal level is like 34+ all the time in the base. I relogged multiple times and it didnt change anything. Even when i play music its stuck at 4

[pliant tundra]

I just wanted to let you know that a password reset worked and I can log back in to the server. Seems to be an issue when you type in the wrong password once.

[zinc oak]

That's interesting. I am sure they know about it already - but I would report it anyway - pretty sure that's not intentional.

but yeah, thanks for letting me know. It's good to keep in my arsinal.

[zinc oak]

This is whether you are indoors or out?

[pallid sleet]

yes

i restart server now

lets see

[thin temple]

Update from Enshrouded on steam at the moment

[pallid sleet]

oh ok

[thin temple]

112Mb

[pallid sleet]

maybe was bugged cause of that

lets see

[broken stump]

Hey anyone knows the bug with the animals is fixed? I have so much baby Goats and Yaks... I dont give them food when i am not online on the server. Or give the animals their ressources also without food? I rly need wool for progress.

[thin temple]

yes now they are through with that fix - animals are going to look at you now 🤣

@zinc oak Hopefully now we won't need a BigDump instead of a minidump with this new update ✌️

[trim locust]

maybe was bugged cause of that

[thin temple]

Yes Hugo did it 🙂

[zinc oak]

Haven't tested it specifically, however I think it's a complex situation that might be making it happen. I don't see anything specific in the changelog - however I do know that they are actively working on it.

[thin temple]

Alchemic wisdon still bugging Kira 😦

[zinc oak]

So in short - probably not, but it might be hidden in one of the other fixes.

[thin temple]

maybe yeah

[zinc oak]

Did you pick up the items again and place them in the frame?

[thin temple]

yep just did it - for the misic you have to talk with Hugo and the music lady

[broken stump]

okay thanks for answer 🙂 I think i delete in meantime all baby animals ^^

[zinc oak]

Maybe try talking to the alchemist? Not 100% sure, but he does have something he says after.

[thin temple]

moment i test it for you

[thin temple]

not working at the moment quest still excist

maybe for next fix

[zinc oak]

Possibly. 🙂

They are informed that it wasn't fixed by the most recent update though

just to be sure... you did log out and download the one from an hour or so ago right? 😄

[thin temple]

np bro thats not a big issue 🙂

[zinc oak]

(Probably should have been the first question I asked) 🤣

[median sleet]

it happens almost every time with big bosses for us

[zinc oak]

I believe boss corpses are intended to stay.

[prisma tendon]

[UPDATE] For anyone who read this thread I was having CTDs every 5-10 mins all the time, every time. This was for a generic VULKAN DEVICE LOST ERROR. I tried everything in the minidump DM. The last things I tried were a complete reinstall of the latest NVIDIA driver using DDU using safe-mode (didn't work) and turning off Steam shader caching. I didn't get to test the last one as a new graphics card I had ordered had just arrived. It was the ASUS Tuf Gaming RTX 4070 Ti Super with 16GB VRAM (pricey but worth it - FYI $1,449.00 AUD!! ffs). After having installed that and the latest NVIDIA drivers (using DDU again) I am now running the game without crashing after 2-3 hours of play at near max quality settings.
My opinion at this point is that 6GB VRAM (no matter what card) just isn't cutting it anymore with how much Enshrouded has grown and I would request Keen Games update their minimum system requirements to reflect 8GB or more VRAM and probably should update their recommended requirements to reflect 12GB VRAM or more. I think that 6GB VRAM is just going to be a continuing edge case for bugs from now going forward. Will keep you up to date if I see any more crashes but for now I'm a happy camper!

My system specs were - Windows 11 23H2, ASUS ROG Strix Z790-H Gaming Wifi (BIOS 2602 with microcode 12B Intel voltage fix - running with Intel limits), Intel i7-13700K, 2 x 32GB PC5-51200 Corsair DDR5 SDRAM (XMP II), 2TB Samsung SSD, ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Non-OC.

[zinc oak]

Glad to hear you are able to play again!

[prisma tendon]

Thanks. Me too.

[zinc oak]

For your update to this: There are plenty of people who have been playing without crashing issues on 6GB of VRAM, While they may notice some performance decrease, I don't think it's reached that point yet - as it just now started becoming an issue for the 3GB VRAM cards that were able to play it up until this last major patch.

It's possible, but I don't believe so.

Point taken. Maybe it's something about the RTX 2060 or just my 2060 although it did work well with other games. I also turned off XMP on my RAM. BTW is there any way you can chase up Support Ticket #60865? I haven't received any reply as of yet? Thanks 🙂

[zinc oak]

I don't have any access to the tickets. Just a player here. 😄 But if you don't hear anything back, you should when the issue gets fixed.

[half sage]

Finally, I've cracked it! My mistake was thinking that I needed to select the roofing resource when placing it. As you'll see in the picture I uploaded, I had selected the resource, but I should have been using the hammer. Interestingly, selecting the resource does create and modify a tiny portion of the roof. 🤔 Regardless, I'm getting accustomed to the building paradigm in this game, and apart from this resource item confusion, I'm starting to really enjoy it. Cheers!

Is this a known bug issue?

[cunning moon]

Hello! I have a question. Does anyone know of workaround for the map causing framerates to dip into the 20s? I have an RTX 3060 12GB GPU and the game runs around 80-120 FPS, depending on the location. The map causes major hangs. Any advice is appreciated, thank you

[distant finch]

There is no workaround for this as of yet. They are aware of the issue. It may be harder to fix than we would think, or they are working other fixes. Time will tell 😁

[cunning moon]

Fair enough. I'm sure they are busy. For now, I suppose the immediate solution is to not zoom out all of the way unless I am marking a waypoint. Thank you for the response

[glacial pawn]

Put in a ticket, two patches later I am still unable to play. serious bummer

[dapper perch]

how do you get other light sources besides the sun to cast shadows?

[untold birch]

I'm using a RTX 2060 on Quality settings and have never had an issue. btw shaders are enabled also. You may want to have your power supply tested under load.

[atomic jolt]

So I have a server world that I play with friends and a local world that I play by myself. The problem is that when they added the ability to have shared progression in a world and I restarted many of the older quests on the server, when I went back to my private world, it made me redo those older quests as well, even though I clearly had them completed, leading to duplicate npc tools (like mortar)

[grizzled yew]

You can always just go back to those places and keep getting those items anyways, so the duplicate item thing isn't really a bug.

[prisma tendon]

Me too, until Update 4. There may be many subtle issues at play since I've played Enshrouded from its first release and updated as I went. Anyway the RTX 4070 Ti Super I just bought isn't skipping a beat and I needed a more performant card for other games I wish to play eg MSFS 2020.

[cunning moon]

How is your framerate on the 2060, in Quality settings? I am using the 3060 12GB variant and am only getting 40-50 FPS on Quality with DLSS on Balanced

[foggy peak]

Hey guys. When I am placing the Wolf's Fang Shield onto a wall thingo, it comes up with the wrong shield graphics, the one for the Rouge Shield.

[foggy peak]

Also Riptide and the Shield of Light have the same graphic.

[cosmic lodge]

Has anyone else been noticing items disappearing when attempting to grab them with a full backpack in the latest update?

Gonna take a video and submit a bug report

[untold birch]

I been getting average of 60 FPS and that's with DLSS on Quality. I should mention that's at 1920x1080

[high kiln]

I wonder, would this have anything to do with me hosting a server and the person I played with no longer playing in my world (only me). He had never completed these quests but I had and they are repeating with no further xp to be gathered and not showing in completed. I also have “?” Reappearing when I’ve already discovered and done the quest.

[grizzled yew]

Depending on the age of the world it could also be a side effect of them adding in those personally-tracked quests. I've had a mostly single-player world since before that change and my quest log ended up looking a little wonky because of it. I've just ignored them since them being in my log doesn't really bother me and they weren't keeping me from moving forward. Just early access game weirdness.

[high kiln]

Gotcha…I’m just not sure anymore of what I’ve completed and haven’t unless I can find and see the actual rewards. Even if I hit X and turn off personal progression, they still show uncompleted

[warm sigil]

I just bought the game last night and have been trying to create my first private world to try out the game. I have been unable to do so, stuck on this same black loading screen for a total of around an hour or so. Tried everything, reinstalling, verifying files, running as admnistrator, nothing has changed it

[high kiln]

Agreed. I have an RTX 3060 and tried quality 4K setting and got major lag and stuttering with potato picture quality. I just set it back to 1080p and it’s fine

[high kiln]

Posting your hardware is helpful

[warm sigil]

I've got a 1060 3gb and a i7-13700K, plenty of good ram

[high kiln]

Seems you have close to the bare minimum for the requirements on hardware. Internet speeds?

[warm sigil]

I've got them all the way down. Internet's decent, not amazing

[high kiln]

It’s early access with much to work out still. I recommend enjoying it on 1080p for now and hope for better things to come and get fixed in the near future 👍🏻

[supple mica]

Yeah the game wants at least 6GB of video memory... I have seen some people squeezing in on 4GB cards in the past... but I don't know if 3GB will be enough, even at minimum.

[warm sigil]

I've done bigger games on this thing, so I don't really see the issue besides optimization

Haven't had the money to upgrade that

[supple mica]

voxel vs standard rendering games = huge difference

part of the reason mincraft works great with their 1 meter squared blocks. lol

[warm sigil]

Gotcha. I'll get my money back then

[supple mica]

yeah, then you are requiring the system to depend on swapping relative data with system ram, thats a LOT slower than the onboard VRAM

[high kiln]

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t see an issue playing on 1080p. It still looks great and runs great. Deleting a fun game just because you MUST have 4K minimum viewing experience smh

Welcome to early access gaming lol

I don’t disagree 👍🏻 I’ve posted my issues also with near zero resolve but I keep in mind it’s EA and a great example of EA issues is Palworld. Also a great fun game but not a full release yet

[supple mica]

Yeah. small team, custom engine, big ideas.... lots of things to come together. gonna be bumps in the road 🙂

[rare pendant]

The quest “scientific instruments for a laboratory 3/3” is broken for me. Or apparently the scientific instruments themselves, the game doesn't recognize that I place them in the base. I tried it in other bases, repeated the complete quest series, crafted the instruments directly, restarted the (dedicated) server and tried to place it with another char. No base recognizes the upgrade. I never had any problems with this, am I missing something obvious? My search shows that the quest causes problems from time to time - but without a solution 😄

Quest Issue: The Cosmetic Blacksmith Outfit

[zinc oak]

Can you please provide more detail for your issue? We are players here, and do not have access to bug support tickets.

[zinc oak]

This is not something that has a player-side fix. Please report this from the in-game bug report by pressing F1 from inside your world so that the devs are sure to get the information.

Low FPS

Quest Issue: Scientific Instruments

[grizzled meteor]

so the game crashed my wife's steam on boot?

[zinc oak]

What are the system specs?

[glacial pawn]

YEs, bought the game when it was first available. Ran beautifully. Life got busy, computer crashed so I had it uninstalled for a while, reinstalled it and now whenever I jump and deploy the glider, or use the grappling hook, the game freezes for around three seconds, making some of the game impossible to complete

[foggy peak]

Will do

[glacial pawn]

My specs are, installed on an SSD, 32 GB ddr4 RAM, GTX 1060 6GB, AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 8 core processor

[zinc oak]

IS your game and steam installed on the same drive, and is that drive an SSD?

[glacial pawn]

Yes

also, after reinstalling windows, ran exhaustive tests on RAM and drives to ensure no damage

[zinc oak]

Sorry was that yes to both questions? Just making sure 🙂

[glacial pawn]

Yes to both

My specs are, installed on an SSD, 32 GB ddr4 RAM, GTX 1060 6GB, AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 8 core processor

[zinc oak]

Okay we are probably looking at a corrupt shader. Please clear out Enshrouded's shader cache by navigating to ...\Steam\steamapps\shadercache\1203620\ and delete the entire contents of that folder.

The next time you start enshrouded it will download all your shaders again, so it could take 10+ minutes for the game to load initially, but it will only happen the first time you open the game.

[glacial pawn]

I'll do that and let you know how it goes

[glacial pawn]

No dice, I'm afraid

[zinc oak]

I'm afraid that those are the only two issues that I am aware of that cause this specific issue. You can try toggling Shader pre-caching to (off or on) in steam (Settings>Downloads>Enable Shader Pre-Caching) to see if that changes anything...

but If you have more than one storage drive on your system - I would also confirm that steam is installed on an SSD, and then verify in steam's settings that it is installing the game on that same drive - just to be 100% positive.

After that it might be that your system is being overloaded, as it's closer to minimum specs than reccomended, and if your settings are too high, it could be causing performance issues that could mimic these symptoms.

[glacial pawn]

Mr settings got changed to rock bottom, lol

my*

[amber mirage]

Howdy! I've recently been expierencing the Mini Dump Error, and alot more frequent since patch. I've followed the instructions from the /minidump and still no dice. Any suggestions?

[zinc oak]

Just to make sure you see this, I have opened a thread above, if you can respond to the messages in there.

[hollow gull]

did any of the patches address the constant lag issues when gliding? without changing my auto save feature on steam?

[viscid portal]

Anyone know if the high ping issues have been fixed for dedicated servers?

[zinc oak]

I am not aware of any specific issue with lagging while gliding. only one where it lags when first opening the glider or changing weapons.

[zinc oak]

#server-support

[zinc oak]

Can you explain the issue you are having in more detail please?

[narrow comet]

my game seems to like to crash near shroud roots, 80 hours game time,

first crash 20 hours in was after breaking one
second crash now, 80 hours in, near the 2 in shanty shacks, farmer cooking pot quest
ive crashed 4 more times trying to go into the town to finish the second shroud root, will have to give up and avoid the area for now, im noticing some frame hitching before it crashes too

[zinc oak]

Have you already tried the fixes sent to you from typing /minidump in this chat?

if not, these fixes fix a majority of crashing issues in the game. Just type /minidump in this chat and you will get a DM that will explain how to proceed through the steps. If you complete those steps and are still having issues, come back in here and we'll try and figure out what is going on.

[narrow comet]

ah i have not yet, will do ty! 🫡

[narrow comet]

seems just verifying the steam files has done the trick, so far at least, ty for the guidance!
edit: nevermind, still happens

[zinc oak]

No problem! Glad your game is working 🙂

[vernal trellis]

is it a known issue that the wolf's fang hood hides facial hair?

[zinc oak]

Please report any bugs from in the game by pressing F1 and filling out a bug report.

[agile basin]

hey i cant run the game because of no compatible graphics found, is there anyone that can help

[zinc oak]

Can you please open device manager and unfurl "display adapters" and take a screenshot of what is shown there?

[agile basin]

\

[zinc oak]

Okay, right click on Intel(R) Irirs(R) Xe Graphics and select "Disable"

[agile basin]

i did

[zinc oak]

It was already disabled or you just did right now?

[agile basin]

i just did it

[zinc oak]

perfect 😄 Okay load your game and see if it lets you in. 🙂

[agile basin]

it says this

[zinc oak]

Okay, you only disabled the first one, not the geforce one right?

[agile basin]

yes

only the first one

[zinc oak]

okay try restarting your computer. It could be windows/vulkan are trying to pass the disabled card through to the game.

[agile basin]

do i just restart with the Intel(R) Irirs(R) Xe Graphics disab;ed

because I tried restarting before it did not work, then I reinstalled the game to see if that would fix it but it didnt

[zinc oak]

Yeah, you are going to want to leave it disabled. That's an integrated card that looks to be in the "0" spot, so vulkan is trying to pass it to the game as your primary GPU

[agile basin]

just restarted with it diabled

it displayed the same thing

[zinc oak]

Okay. Go ahead and open up your Geforce Experience and make sure you have the most recent GPU Driver

[agile basin]

just checked that too

i am up to date

[thin temple]

Hi friends and Mama Kira - small joke and attention My yaks start to sleeping on the roofs

btw Good morning all 🙂

[timid citrus]

im having the same issue as Ming, except when I turn off my integrated graphics (i've had them on since I got my hp omen laptop.)
my computer starts running like trash that I didn't even want to try opening Enshrouded.

(my computer can run bo6 on medium quality) but im thinking for some reason when I turn off my integrated it just doesnt want to connect my regular display to my rtx 4050.

[thin temple]

do once a internet speedtest

[zinc oak]

Okay. lol. It's being a pain. 😄 Let's see if LiAnDrY's tool can fix it.

• Type "powershell" in your windows search bar.
• Right click on "Windows Powershell" that comes up and click "Run as administrator"
• paste this command into the window that comes up and run the script:
  irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LiaNdrY/Enshrouded-Tool-Fix/main/Enshrouded_Tool_Fix.ps1" | iex

[agile basin]

tried that

[zinc oak]

Did it say anything about your vulkan version?

[agile basin]

on the powershell?

[zinc oak]

yeah. in the script that ran

You should get something that looks like this:

[agile basin]

lmao

why mine look like this

[zinc oak]

press enter

[agile basin]

it just closes it completely

[zinc oak]

Yeah you have to right click it when it comes up and run it as administrator.

[agile basin]

assuming i have to download the vulkan runtime installer that poped up

[zinc oak]

Okay let it complete. It should do it all for you.

Once it's done, go ahead and try again.

[zinc oak]

You can try this as well, though I am not sure your issue is the same. It sounds like something might be up with your GPU or driver causing the issue.

[zinc oak]

If you don't use GameDVR for anything, this is fine to say yes to.

[timid citrus]

I just did the powershell command and its looking like it says everything should be updated and that my computer should be able to run enshrouded

[zinc oak]

It's just some random software that comes with windows that no one uses xD

[timid citrus]

Do I have to restart my computer after running the powershell command ?

[zinc oak]

You can, but I don't believe it's necessary.

[agile basin]

waited until it finished and tried to run the game but it did not work

[zinc oak]

same error?

[timid citrus]

yeah I was following along with most of what you were telling ming, ive got my drivers up to date, verified integrity of files, and im still getting the same no compatible graphics device

Im just scared to turn off my integrated because of earlier when my computer started running at like 40 frames and loading everything very slowly because it hooked up to some random windows display instead of my rtx 4050

this is what my display shows when i turn my integrated off

[agile basin]

yes

the samthing happened still cant run the game

maybe I should trouble shoot my whole computer?

like reinstall everyhting

[zinc oak]

Okay, trying to enlist a bit of help on this one. while I am doing that, would you be able to grab your latest log for me and paste it in here?

Open your file explorer
Navigate to your Steam folder, by default, it should be in C:\Program Files.
Find the following file:
[...] \Steam\steamapps\common\Enshrouded\enshrouded.log and drag it into this window

[agile basin]

i dont see the enshrouded.log

[open tree]

It's the text document

[agile basin]

okok got it

[zinc oak]

Okay it's still showing that Integrated card. 😵‍💫

[muted oxide]

well actually mine is a bit different

[open tree]

Can you share your log?

[agile basin]

its ok i guess

I will just reboot my whoel computer
