are you on the newest version?
#bug-discussion message press escape and check the topright numbers
You aren't on the newest version. Since a lot of people seem to have this issue I'll do a little write up on how to fix it
PSA
If you see almost no servers in the serverlist, check if you're on the newest version of DRG. You can do this by pressing escape and checking the numbers at the bottom left next to 'OS online'. The current version is 1.39.102179.0. If your version is different you'll need to force the game to update.
Method 1: verify integrity of gamefiles. If this doesn't work try method 2
Method 2: go to steam -> DRG -> properties -> betas -> and select the 2018 legacy edition + opt in/ opt out.
Either one of these should force an update
@upbeat imp above instructions should force an update
@granite steppe it worked but all i had to do was opt out of the beta, there was no option to ininstall
TYVM!
Yeah, that's what I meant. I'll edit it
can anyone tell me why cant i jump when i carrying dorreta head ? is this a bug ?
That didnt do it but for some reason opting out of the legacy edition fixed it. Appreciate you still
Yeah, seems a lot of people have this issue
Anything in particular to do when recreating it?
nope, just try it without any mods
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-2599 found an existing report so you can contribute here instead
thought skip tutorial thing was fixed kek
is anyone else having a serious problem with joining servers this recent update?
im not longer getting the grace period of entering through a pod, my game fades in from black and im already in the game
meaning I often get downed almost immediately on high hazards
its been almost consistent with every joined game to the point I don't think I've seen myself in the pod once on arrival?
What are your specs?
lets see uh, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Version 31.0.15.4629
64 bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
sorry not sure what specifically I could offer from my specs given there's so much but that's the gist?
I don't believe DRG is stored on SSD
regardless this seems to be a new bug? My specs never had this problem prior to the new update
Try making sure the game isn't using an integrated gpu
Has anyone had problems with achievements that are not being fulfilled, how did fix this problem?
Why don't I take damage and kill beetles with 1 shot?
host is using mods
how do i get cool armour like that
Hello, can someone clarify is Micro-Conductor arc not slowing down dreadnaught bosses intentional rebalacne or bug?
Does anybody "Micro-Counductor Add-On" overlock also doesn't work?
Shooting platforms works normaly but turrets 90% of the time don't want to create an electric arc between them.
Same issue, no arc between the turrets 90% of the time and nither arc nor electrified platforms slow down dread bosses
hey everyone. i was wondering if anyone else has had all of their unlocked guns suddenly re-locked again and completely inaccessible
i created this issue for it: https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-2605
in one of the screenshots in the issue, you can see that the game has registered ive unlocked all 4 guns for all of the classes. however, i can't access them anymore or even re-unlock them via the assignment board. they're just locked behind the lock icon in the equipment screen
all of them were fully upgraded too and i have used them all several times, i believe even after i promoted my characters
im hoping i can find some fix for this because i really would like to get back into drg but this is a pain. i put a lot of hours into getting all of those guns unlocked and upgraded
I found that known issue with hook cant shoot is related to every class. Drills can't spin sometimes, platform doesn't shoot and zip. This problem can be seen with salvo OC when it shoots only one rocket without charging or cryo cannon not charging. This mostly happens after switching weapons or after grab jump
Found a Xbox bug
If you use the daily deal and exit out of the game from the quick start menu the daily deal will reset except the money made will be kept and the minerals will be returned to you to use the daily deal again
i found bug ,crystals just...dont do crystal things (dont electrifie when betwen them)
What is going on why is my drg client only showing a few public sessions while my friends client shows a lot more ? Am I shadowbanned or something ?
Report it on pleasefix
i cant make acount right now
tomorow
Thyrant Weed is butchering my frame rate, anything on that?
Server browser only shows me "Close" servers, even though i have the "Search Distance" set to "Far."
Do you see a lot of servers?
Maybe it's this #bug-discussion message
Make sure you're on the newest version first
I am on the newest version
Okay, the Os version seems to be the same as in that message
Now it shows servers up to "Medium"
still not up to "Far" or "World"
I set the server distance to "Close" and it still shows me "Medium" lobbies. And empty (no mission selected) servers at the bottom
No mission lobbies is normal
I think you may not bee seeing far lobbies as it might have a cap on how many it can show
Is there a way to remove this cap?
Not as far as I know, but there might be a report on pleasefix as I remember someone else mentioning it a few days ago
Does anyone know why the game crashes upon launching thr drop pod from the space rig? Happens randomly and I can't understand why.
Are you using mods?
Nope. I'm on Xbox
It doesn't happen every time either. Only occasionally but enough to wonder that it's something on the games end.
Also ask #xbox-and-windows-store they might know
Alright thanks.
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-2503 found this, upvote/ contribute
Oops wrong ping, sorry
@shut fiber meant to reply previous message to you
NVM I also found this https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-2399 and it's been flagged as not a bug
There is a limit to how many games we display on the server list, and while i can understand why this issue is not great, it should be back to normal in a few days, if not already. You should be able to filter your games even more to help with the issue
hey anione know why exception_access_violation might be happening and crashing the game?
no mods are being used
whoever reported this on pleasefix, 💪 you're doing karl's work (I'm too lazy to log in to the website)
I browsed the entire server list unfiltered and literally NOBODY IS THERE
WHY
While in the weapons terminal, if you've selected a weapon (upgrades screen), and choose a different one of the loadouts (A though F), it changes the weapon upgrades and you can make loadouts for individual weapons, instead of just characters. However, selecting a different loadout in the upgrade screen also swaps to that dwarf loadout upon leaving the upgrade screen without actually changing the weapon preset selected.
E.g. On Dwarf loadout A (Driller), go into upgrade screen which is automatically set to weapon Loadout A (Cryo Cannon, Ice Storm), select loadout B while in upgrade screen and change overclock to Crystal Nucleation (switching to loadout A on this screen maintains the separate Cryo Cannon Icestorm build), leave upgrade screen on weapon loadout B which switches to Dwarf Loadout B (Unrelated to Dwarf Loadout A). Switching back to Dwarf Loadout A maintains weapon loadout A (IceStorm), making it impossible to switch between different weapon loadouts on the upgrade screen.
Apologies for the convoluted description of the issue. It's a niche issue, so I felt I should make it comprehensive.
Uncertain if you are intended to be able to make individual weapon loadouts within dwarf loadouts. If not, I think it would be nice, making it easier to swap between specific weapon builds.
that's intended behaviour I think?
every loadout "switcher" changes the whole loadout, dwarf cosmetics, pickaxe cosmetics, weapons and their mods
yeah, it would be nice to separate them, but in the current state of the "switcher" it would become even more confusing I guess
So idk if I put this here but
If you pointer the new attack it says "get the beamers" and dosent have any other sayings as it users beamer lines
And the second comes with the care taker, if you pointer the batteries they'll say throw them at the tridilite deposit
mission control seems to have missed this other morkite seed
huh, upon depositing the 8th seed, the voiceline triggers a second time
It's weird because it doesn't switch the weapon between loadouts if you change it, which makes it seem like you should be able to save individual weapon loadouts. I guess it would be confusing mayb
If it's not intentional, they should just make switching the loadout in the upgrade screen switch the dwarf loadout
Is anyone else having issues with the game completely crashing their pc at seemingly random times? This is like, the 4th time it's happened
check this out
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-2624 pleasefix here if you wanna try reproducing it
so much for low water content
My game started laging very bad after I joined this season's Experimantal Branch. When I switched back to season 4, the lag continued. I still have it. Can I dump 3 game recordings as demonstrations here and maybe ask for some advice on how I can remedie this?
They are ~6 minutes long each
The terrain updates after a delay for me, like apearing platforms, Doretta sometimes goes through the wall for me and sometimes I can follow her through the wall. The audio stutters with swarms. It's not as bad on Solo, but is still present. Sometimes the game eats an input, like shooting sludgepump after running. The join and mission start bars take long to fill up.
what are your specs?
What specs are you interested in? Cpu? Gpu? Os?
It used to run fine, with an ocasional hickup or two, but not this bad
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz,
RAM 8GB
64bit
Windows 10 Pro
You don’t have a GPU. You don’t meet the minimum system requirements.
Is this it?
Yes, make sure your game is using your GPU and not your integrated GPU
How do I check/do that?
Open task manager and check if gpu usage is going up when booting up DRG
I think so, not 100% sure. try: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000090168/graphics.html
I'll try this in a minute
Oh so you think, that my PC was deciding to run it in energy eficient mode all of a sudden and it dipped the performance?
Is this the right application?
Is it noted that the nanite bomb dispenser from the tritylite machine event is referred to by the laser pointer as a "barrel dispenser"?
they are kinda barrel-shaped
Is this the right exe?
they are also beer can shaped, and closer to the size I'd expect of a beer can designed for dwarves
I believe so
Ok, thank you very much! That has made it much better!
dont know if its already been mentioned but i feel like the deep scans values are bugged
every time i do the mission solo i need to preform 5 deep scans
but every time ive been playing duos its only 3
feel like this is suposed to be flipped
The amount of scans depends on mission length, not amount of players
ahh i see
thank you
In season 2, hovering over the rival presence warning quest in the mission select menu highlights the areas with lithophage outbreak instead.
idk if this is a bug or just "unlucky" but in current EDD we couldn't finish because drop pod came right next to Doretta's cage, blocking entrance
I feel like these mushrooms aren't supposed to spawn inside the geode
hello we re getting insta killed by just walking, every 10 secs we re getting down no matter what, no damage just getting down, we even got a failure when we got in the pod wtf
henlo, I am new here, and the game is not recognizing that I have joined the union. Anyone know a possible reason for that? I have reconnceted my steam account, restarted discord and steam, left the server and came back, and I tried joining through only the app or only the web, still nothing worked
Union doesn’t work very well
clarification, it has worked before and shown me the menu
It’s an old feature that hasn’t been maintained at all
ah, ok, any advice? or just try it and if it works thats great. if it doesnt dont bother?
hello?
is this every mission or just one?
pinned messages #drg-chat
Are you using mods?
no nothing
Were you the host?
yep
game still crashes constantly when using the new overclocks.
Hello, so the game is kicking me out of my friends's server when a mission starts. I can join them on the space rig but not on mission. When the mission starts, it kicks me before seeing my colleagues sit on the drop pot. I cannot see them playing when I try to search for them on he server list. It is worth knowing that we live pretty far (Latin America - Europe). Yesterday was working fine btw. (I was only playing with one of them though but the distance is the same). Also it seems to me that I can only see on the server list servers at a distance close or medium, although this could be happenig because there are a lot of servers playing at the moment (so no use on showing me the farest ones). And yes, I can join other visible servers and I play without problem.
got this bug in the equipment menu where it shows the forge bg and honestly would look really cool if the dwarf was visible
Is your friend on the newest version of DRG?
Have them press esc and look at the numbers on the bottom left to make sure
The current version is 1.39.101771.0.
just reported a camera bug, can I send youtube links here?
Yes we did verify this an we are all using the newest version
In that case try the faq
I assume that the data cell scrip bug has already been reported
Allright, will do, thanks
Not sure if this is the right place, but when i play with a specific friend, we both get insane lag and connectivity issues, but never when i play with other randoms
he gets DC'ed constantly and his voice is shit on discord
During the escort mission during the core phases, it's really disheartern to IW to run to a resuply pod to immediately get captured and die without being able to do anything. Is it possible to make it so that you CANNOT be targetted by the capture phase during IW? It's very hard to see both the IW overlay plus that and also removes the purpose of IW if you get captured right after (like seconds after healing).
if you alt tab (at least on solo mission) during drillevator mission and you stand near the centre of it, you will stuck in it's hitbox and wont be able to move at all
i failed mission because of it
has anybody reported region lock after recent update?
Where's this faq?
What do you mean?
see pinned messagesn here
👍🏼
no matter the online setting, you can only see and join games from only your region or really close to it
I have no servers outside of Eastern Europe
even with world setting on
Server list has a cap on how many servers it can show, so if the list is full it won't show further away
camera bug https://youtu.be/WkHG6dLKFhw
so the server cap is 2 lol?
my bad, 5
getting into the pod makes the game fix itself apparently
I did by restarting the lobby
Try without mods
In that case IDK, try syncing your system clock
huh? 💀
It works sometimes, mostly to fix desync though
if that doesn't work check the FAQ
faq doesn't have this issue as it's brand new
game sided issue that needs to be fixed asap imo
there's no worse issue in a multiplayer game but a region lock
Someone else might have some ideas. I still recommend trying without mods, you never know
Then you'll need to wait for someone else to give some suggestions/ make a bug report on pleasefix
Guys, I'm desperately asking for help
I have a bug, which crashes game on specific events (calling droppod, starting morkite extraction etc...), while I'm global hosting (however it's not a case for friend hosting)
I tried reinstalling game, checking files, etc, but it doesn't help
Also tried to google it, but nothing
Did anyone encounter this issue, or has a fix for it? Any help would be highly appreciated❤️ ⛏️
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-2034#communityEvidence:acaa6ac9-6d78-4c2f-8f2e-ff57831bebc1
Funny interaction between DLC-armor and Handstand victory move
idk if it's intentional, but there seems to be a lot more spitter enemies than usual, even without modifiers
also, the bug where it doesn't set the correct dwarf saying the pre-landing lines in the drop pod as the mission begins is back
and apparently pinging dystrum just gives the regular "see here" line (at least for me as driller it did, for scout it worked fine)
Hey so I've been trying to start DRG from steam, everytime I start it, it goes through the launching process but never launches the game, and goes back to a green play button. I've updated all my drivers, windows, and everything else. I use Windows Defender, and this is a new computer. I have also tried the "regenerateinis" but that didn't work either. I tried searching online and didn't find anything so I am hoping someone knows what's up or if there's a fix for it!
I have been having an issue with this assignement not completing. I have done the last assignment a handful of times now, double checking to make sure it is the marked job for the assignment, and when I finish it nothing pops up and the assignment does not progress. What can I do to "unstuck" this? It would suck to start over on it since it is the last one
For some reason doing it solo completed it? Still might be worth looking into why multiplayer didnt work for it, thanks for your time!
How do I report bugs about missions? I had this bug during an escort mission
A broken laser that continued to attack the drill
'ello!
I recently bought DRG for a friend but he's having some... peculiar rendering issues on occasion.
Are rendering issues like these known, are there known solutions?

Thank you
yeah, right now trying to add my vid to it
well a friend's vid
could I send you the clip and upload that part for me?
I got a screenshot and a clip
Do you not have an account?
I do, just dont know how to properly send it
I've not spent much time in this channel to know if this has happened a lot, but you can search around and see if anyone else has had something like that. In any case, checking the FAQ is a good place to start https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2559182673
This might also help https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/2/1642039362993864094/
the scout pic has been like this a few days, any way to fix it?
Verify local files?
^
how so
Right click game -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify
fixed 👍
Check the links I provided just above, p sure the last one I sent touches on not being able to launch
I’ll take a look later
Ty
just had a morkite extraction mission spawn one of the wells in another cave that was completely cut off from the main cave with extractor platform
Hey guys is anyone aware of a bug where after playing on Xbox you play with the same save file on pc through game pass, only to load up Xbox and it to just black screen every time? I’ve tried reinstalling the game it still won’t load
glyphid grunt is a cool bug
this might not be a drg specific problem but when I open guides in the steam overlay it always opens one specific guide and never the guide home page, how do i fix it
not sure where to report this as it's not necessarily a bug, but i joined a random non-modded game, and after winning that cheat of a lobby, my engineer got maxed out immediately (from level 1 - 25 in just one hacked game). is it possible to report this and get my character down to its original state?
does someone know if the turret arc reworked overclock bug is being addressed?
there's a save menu tab when you press esc, should be able to hit restore progress somewhere on that screen and rollback to a save made right before you played that mission
this is quite the vague question
Is it intentional that the Rocky Mountain's pickaxe terrain digging buff does not apply to rock in the glacial biome?
I think they're talking about how those electricity beams are broken and don't deal any damage anymore
the ones on crystalline also don't deal any damage anymore
something is wrong with my dice 😭

Is the constant disconnect from multiplayer lobbies fixed?
hello, i have a bug, i can only see 2 lobbies in the server list, i've set everything to "all", and range is set to "world", anybody else encountered this issue?
Me too, can see only "close" servers
I think I've found the issue in the meantime, my client hasn't updated to s05.3, its still at s05.2
my laptop overheated in a session and upon reopening the game I was met with the tutorial, which isn't the first time, but then I found that half my progress is gone
minerals and matrix cores were reset to zero and the only thing that was kept was the current builds
options => save => restore save
it looked greyed out but I'll check again ty
you'll need to be in the spacerig for that
okay I see it yes
save can also take some time to load properly
so give it time/try again if it doesn't work the first time
alright it works thanks ^^
i have a problem because i mainly use two different computers and I just switched over to another one and there seems to be some cloud problems since i'm missing some of my matrix cores and i am now on an assingment i've already completed, i tried going to saves but that didn't show a save where i had what i had before, i'm also down 30k credits from it, could i please get some help?
nvm i'm just stupid, i'm sorry. It was far down in the saves so sorry for the trouble
anybody else has the issue where their game hasn't udated to version s05.03 on steam?
probably but it's not hard to fix
go to propeties, beta, switch to LEGACY and then back to live build
you are a genius, i had it set to LEGACY, as soon as i disabled it, it started updating, thanks 😄
I'm not, it has happened before and it was the issue, I just remembered the fix 
easy fix at least, enjoy 
I have the same issue, but doing this method didnt make more servers appear
Nevermind, I'm impatient lol, it works now!
It might be one the Loan Ranger could add to the faq, been seeing it happen more often. #bug-discussion message
I think it happens more when 2 patches release on the same day but not sure
Check if you're on the newest patch
it's @rotund fable taking care of it now
Ah, good to know 
looks like i'm not the only one stuck in version 1.39.101624.0 instead of 1.39.101771.0, meaning i can't joind friends with the update ;-;
any way to force the update? (tried uninstall - reinstall, tried verify the game files, searched about anywhere i could think in and out of game... can't find the update ;-;)
hope the beta thing can correct that x)
yep, that's it
with the legacy on, i'm stuck in 1.39.101624.0, but when i get it off i'm on the good one, thx for the help 🙂
Hooray, the bug I reported is confirmed, I helped!
So just turn Legacy edition off?
Sucks I play Legacy once a week to every other week (when I remember )
i crash and get this error a lot (usually after a bit of playing a mission, hosting a match maybe, on my pc)

hi, raising awareness about this again
When me and my friend are playing we get some serious connectivity issues both ingame and on discord, and when we do the core event the game lags extra much, only doing the event, then back to normal, anyone else?
Anyone else have an issue where their level doesn't match up?
On the level up thing it says I'm level 7...but it only has me at level 5 on the UI
there are many different levels; player level, character level, and season pass level
maybe double check which ones you are comparing?
Try those in that order : update your GPU drivers/use dx11 launch option/make sure the game is using the right GPU/do a clean driver install using DDU
is your game up to date ?
Alrighr ill try those tomorrow hopefully
Thanks
the blue level here (indicated by the blue circle) is not the same as your Seasonal level (also blue, but appears on a different screen at the end and only represent your level on the season pass), and the red level (in the red circle here) is your class level, which is tied to the class itself and independant of the rest.
Oh yea
Could it be cause im on integrated graphics? (Intel uhd 630 i think)
that's very likely as this GPU ain't powerful enough to run the game with stability
yes
you confirm you're on the s05.03 ?
I've already confirmed everything needed yesterday, did possible workarounds and nothing worked
You have 5 driver updates ready to download and install.... good lord -_-
Ahhhh ok that makes so much more sense lol. Thank you very much for taking the time to explain that. I have been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out if I corrupted a save or something lol
no problem 
Hey I assume this bug is known but I couldn’t find any info on it online and figured this was the best place to ask. I recently downloaded the game on my pc through the Xbox store and tried to play on controller. When I did it ended… poorly. Basically the text chat feature that on console only triggers after a double salute instead happens on pc whenever you press the left stick. Does anybody know the fix for this issue?
It opens up this giant keyboard on my screen tied to my controller inputs every time I sprint which is really frustrating
i updated my drivers, now to do the thing
im gonna do this tomorrow actually
I have not been able to play DRG for the past few days. Once I start a quest, shortly after my PC would crash afterwards. I noticed that the last patch on last Friday supposedly " Fixed that the game crashed most of the time you tried to join a game" but unfortunately that isn't the case for me. Is anyone else experiencing that?
Things I've done are: verified the integrity of the files, uninstalled and reinstalled and updated the drivers as well. Confirmed that other big games like BG3 and Dragon's Dogma work fine.
why do I crash like this? game starts, I hit an enemy with any weapon or even pickaxe and boom the game crashes. or it just does not happen and I can play fine. I don't get what's causing this
can you crack an oppressors armour?
I have a similar issue to @glass monolith. It'd crash after starting a mission. Did verification of files, uninstall/reinstall, and updated drivers. then I started it up with direct11x. I was able to play more of it than that and still crashed. I have a 3070TI in my PC so I don't believe it is a GPU issue on my end.
Make sure the game isn't using an integrated gpu
i dont know if this is a bug or what but my levels have just stopped progressing entirely like ive been playing scout alot and im just stuck at level 19
it wont let me progress
It's desktop with an 5800x so no integrated gfx. I have a 3070 ti in it so it should work. It started giving issues after the update on Friday. Been using this pc for years playing this with no issues
Game is up to date and other games that are more demanding have been no issue.
did you try the last fix ?
halfway thru a mission in the cave, and mission control started saying the smart stout lines instead of talking about the drillervator lmao
sounds like a shout framework mod user
im not running mods
Are you solo?
no :\ but i was alone and it had the speech bubble
So it was in a co-op with no one near you
certain mods can still be used in non-modded servers
just none that are only approved
dammit i was being trolled
barrage infector spawns are so buggy. they just pop in at random times and they spawn in walls
i mean just look at this!!!
that was NOT there when i went through this section. what the heck!?!
i just got jumpscared by these two spawning in out of nowhere
has anyone encountered a visual glitch wherein upon encountering (or sometimes activating the event for) a corestone, the screen will be filled with strobing black bars that make the image borderline impossible to look at or parse, which also seems to make objects in the environment (drop pod, terrain etc) totally transparent
at its worst this lets me see through the whole game world, rendering it utterly unplayable as in this screenshot
that is weird
yeah
at least you arent being jumpscared by barrage infectors constantly
it happened agaaaaaaaain!!!!
where do they keep coming from?!?!
is there anyone i can @ about this, it's making the game genuinely completely unplayable at points
and may be a health hazard for photosensitive folk
alright well im just gonna put a message here again to be at the bottom of the chat to say that this could probably give someone a seizure.
yeah, that seems serious
imagine it flashing rapidly between this and normal game visuals
my problem was the sandbox utilities was spawning barrage infectors on my ping because it was the first on the list of monsters to spawn and i was using bosco to mine resources
to be clear this is CONSISTENTLY every time a core stone appears or is interacted with
at least it is consistant
So ive been having an issue of not being able to directly connect to my friends and vice versa. If anyone knows how to fix this it'd be much appreciated
there seems to be a bug with lost packs and cargo crates spawning since I just did a mission with a 14% spawn chance almost 16 times and did not see a single one while also have 12 of the 16 missions having every other event possible
check if you're both on the newest version. (press escape and look at the numbers bottom left)
Also sync your system clock
When I started a point extraction mission, I got a voice line for killing a crawler about how they'll keep coming until the core stone is dealt with, but the event hadn't actually started, and the core stone which was present was undamaged (Until I arrived at it and did the thing).
the voice line happened before the pod landed and opened
so i did a full mission, and right as we finished the game crashed... same error i think, gonna send it incase

im gonna try the dx11 launch option now
looks like a gpu error. what are your specs? are you using an integrated gpu?
just to be extra sure, bc its new to me too: were you in a modded lobby?
Yea im using an integrated gpu
Intel uhd 630 i believe and i7-9700k
8gb ram, and 512gb HDD storage
No i hosted my own vanilla lobby doing a refinery mission
Yea, that's gonna be a problem. Integrated gpus are way below minimum specs. Do you have any dedicated GPU?
Sadly no
I plan on either getting a steam deck or budget pc cause the one im on rn is a dell optiplex that can barely handle it's own stuff
Then you're fresh out of luck for the time being
Though why would it not crash while im in the lobby and afk for hours?
Because of minimal usage compared to when you're in a mission
i mean the questions kinda answer itself? becuase you are not doing anything
So yea
Best option would be to invest in a computer with a GPU decent enough to handle drg
Yea
Granted, that's the aim you have
I been wanting to upgrade for a really long time too, so once i save up enough hopefully ill be able to play a full mission lol
i assume yoou have also lowered all the settings
Then season 5 gets to be the incentive 
Yea but for some reason the settings dont save
Just goes back to customafter starting it up again
not if you crash after no, change the settings, then exit game normally
Okay
@potent nymph Is it intentional that the Rocky Mountain digging ale doesn't affect mining the common rock inclusions in the glacial biome?
I’m pretty sure it is, it’s been that way forever.
it's been incredibly annoying when that stuff flat out blocks the tunnel in mining missions
I guess but if you didn’t have Rocky Mountain it would be just as annoying
Been digging around them through the ice
plus Driller exists
I play solo, and I only play driller approximately 1/4 of the time
I do wish tunnels didn’t get blocked as often in Glacial
I remember a tunnel in crystal that wasn't blocked, but it was very very small, too small to pass through
Just finished my 500th mission, so I figured I'd ask
Also, I got the "They'll keep coming until we stop the core stone" message on mission start again as the drop pod descended. There was a core stone event in the caves, and it was not active at the time, though I did complete it normally.
Yep I’ve been getting Core stone messages during the drop as well
I mean, it is nice to let me know one is around, and cuss because I'm doing season challenges for season 1 that drop, but still

I just installed update 03 for DRGS and now everytime I open the game it instantly crashes.
Thanks
hi,im tryng to make a lobby on my microsoft store version but the game thinks im single player,it dosent show "pod available" on the top left anymore and i cant invite or join friends or any public lobby whatsoever,i tried changing internet but it still wont work,i tried restarting the game and pc and the game and still wont work,is there any fix?
Is there a way I can force the game to patch? I've been waiting for the 6/21 patch and it still hasn't come through. i've tried reinstalling, verifying the file integrity, changing my download server, rebooting steam, and rebooting my laptop and nothing is working.
go into properties => beta => switch to legacy and then to live build again
Huh. Is it just me, or is the Do "Rival Presence" warning challenge highlighting Ebonite Outbreak maps on the zoomed out region map instead of the proper tag?
im almost mad that worked

Probably isn't a bug, but I have a weird problem where my Discord mic cuts out when I load into a mission. I have tried messing with the voice chat settings but nothing seems to work.
Anyone know a fix for this?
Thank you in advance.
Found a massive bug with crystal nucleotide
When a large amount in a small space is hit by a wave cooker (like a driller tunnel) the amount of particles crashes the game
Recreated with less crystals to prevent the crash
Values are modded for demonstration
Is this reproducible in vanilla? If it’s only reproducible with mods then it’s not really an issue.
liphophage larva in a non rockpox mission
just just keep spawinging time to time
Harold can spawn in any mission type, though admittedly I don't think Harold spawns larva
i htink we havea harold yes
maybe larva do come from the bigger boils on the ground then, never really noticed
okay yes we had a harold and he does spawn them.
no bug here jsut me being silly.
Yep. Ammo mods was just to add more ammo
original crash was without mods
report on pleasefix
Same here.
steam maintenance
alr, works now
Bruh
?
Hey has anyone encountered a bug where you can't join a friend's lobby after a mission has been started? This has happened a few times where after my friend starts a game I can't join him through steam or even discord invites, and he's also unable to invite me. I don't get any error screens or even any attempt to join the lobby, but every time I try to join nothing happens
Ребята, у меня проблема!
Случился баг в игре, значит так, захожу в каточку моей либимый Дип Рок Галактик, ну знаете такую игрульку😉
Так о чём я, беру гранату в руки, а всем всё равно на неё! Вот я когда вижу человека с гранатой, то кричу и убегаю куда глаза глядят, вы скорее всего тоже самое делаете или сделали бы, ну а что? А вдруг кинет? Вдруг взорвётся и всё, хана всему и вся, а эти твари, членистоногие, мало того что не убегают, так ещё и отпор пытаются дать😡
Кто сталкивался? Как решить? Буду благодарен!😀 😇 🫶

yeahhhh
hey any of you know how to accept mods terms of service all fixes i could find are for windows 7 not 10
anyone know if the inifinite low grav in the space rig exploit was patched? the normal timing seems no longer possible
Try opening mod.io in another browser. Not the steam one
i cant launch the game. it immediately closes after i launch
Is there any error window when the game closes?
- Disable your mods (can do so by using the Safe mode launch option)
- Update your GPU drivers
- Reinstall your drivers using DDU so all leftovers are properly removed
- Try launching with dx11 (Steam only)
- Verify the game's files
- Try to install the game on another drive
- Make sure your save is not corrupted (back it up somewhere, then delete it from the game's folder)
- For more troubleshooting, see the FAQ : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2559182673
did all of them its still same
ive used to play before the update
it happend after that i think
did you also check the FAQ ?
hey, anyone know how to fix the community board not working? I cant claim the reward
Drop Pod arrived before Core Stone event, ended up for the Retrieval Pod being inside the Drop Pod.

This isn't really worth doing a bug report on, and it's not even a bug really, but the MegaCorp framework on the GK2 has a spot on the model where the texture mapping's stretched out all funky-like.
It's on both sides, as you might imagine.
Hi. Not sure this is the right channel, but I couldn't find a hardware specific one. I run a Ryzen 5-3600 with an raedon 6700XT. I have the issue that my graphic card fan nearly runs at 2500 RPM constantly when the game is open. It also gets hotter than on other games I play. Settings ingame are on high or medium but the card still runs at high capacity. I'm not sure what causes this, even on stresstests its not that extreme. I can post some system information if someone is willing to tell me what is needed for a overview.
it is worth reporting imo
If anyone has the MegaCorp DLC and is able, please check and repo this issue to make sure it's not just a me problem.
Unreal Engine games are pretty heavy on GPU, DRG is also heavy on CPU. If you open Task Manager, chances are your GPU is being heavily utilized (possibly 90+ %). If the game works fine, just ignore it, system working as designed. If it really bothers you, one option is to limit FPS in graphics options, particularly if you have a high refresh rate monitor and a fast CPU. Not really a bug in the game though, it's just that the game will pretty happily use most of your GPU (assuming CPU can keep up) unless you cap FPS. If you have a lower refresh rate monitor (like 60 Hz) then you might also make sure VSync is turned on.
you could try to mine out the rock / crystals a bit around the hacking pod, but with it falling that close it may just be bugged
Yeah I think its just broken tbh
you could also try to dig it down well below the power station
so that it's outside the hitbox
then spiral up
but with no driller on REZ... 
Thanks for the detailed answer. Might be a sign to update the CPU at some point. I noticed the same behaviour when I play last epoch
if the GPU isn't crashing I'd just ignore it, some GPU fans just spin loud at full usage. you buy a nice GPU you want to use all of it, no? 
No, thankfully that never happend. Still, the temperature went up to roughly 75-78 °C on the GPU hotspot. I never had that with a nvidia. I know that raedon tend to get hotter but I'm still afraid something might happen.
Hello everybody, maybe I can find help here. Since yesterday I can't find any game except 2 but far from me. Is anyone now why? Is there a solution? Thank you
I think is self explanatory
what version of the game are you on ?
1.39.101624.0
you're not on the latest version
go into properties => beta => change to legacy, then back to live build
thk 🙂
fix, thk u !
hey so the game has been acting like I'm not in a union for weeks now and just repeatedly asks me to join it, and all hitting yes does is lead me back to the server and doesn't progress to the game recognising I'm in it
like I'm clearly in a union, it's attached to my roles on this server
Ok so, the only solution seems to be opening the server in a web browser instead of discord itself
you can open the union terminal?
#drg-chat pinned messages for fixes
So I have a bit of an odd issue with DRG, well, more my friend. I've introduced DRG to about 7 people whether I bought it for them or they bought it for themselves, no issue. Now, this one friend, during his entire time hes stuck into DRG, he has a very difficult time staying in a game, no matter who hosts in our friend group. He'll be playing fine, then either his connection just abruptly ends, or he'll stand in place and on his screen he cant do anything for about 2 minutes before being disconnected. We can see just fine through his discord screenshare doing this, and it's definitely not his internet, his internet is about 300 down, 30 up.
If he tries to host, we experience the problems that he has playing with us, but on our end instead. Not that DRG really requires configuration in order to play with people, but are there any solutions or other people who've had this happen?
For clarification, he plays other games just fine in our group no issues, he's in the US like us, his ping will be normal in discord calls, etc.
Hello, I have recently encountered an issue that seems to affect not only me but other players as well.
In-game text chat appears to cause client connection issues. When this problem occurs, there is no indication of a connection error or being passively disconnected from the game (perhaps because it does not involve a long wait time). What happens is that the text you input does not get sent to the chat. The host sees the character still standing in the game, but you are unable to move or send text messages.
I am a Mandarin player, and my game region is Taiwan (TW). The host, myself, and another player experiencing this issue all use the same language and region.
We are all playing on PCs and launching the game through Steam.
My current solution is to force close the game and rejoin the room, but I do not believe this is an acceptable solution.
The above text was translated using ChatGPT. I hope it is clear enough for you to understand my situation.
Here is the original text in Chinese:
哈囉,我最近遇到了一些狀況,而且這個狀況不只我發生。
在遊戲內的文字聊天似乎會造成客端的連線出現問題,問題出現時沒有顯示連線異常或是被動的離開遊戲。(也許跟沒有長時間的等待有關係)
發生時會看到你輸入的文字沒有發送到文字聊天裡,主機那邊會看到人物還在遊戲內並站在原地,但是你無法移動與發送文字。
我是使用中文的遊戲玩家,遊戲地區是在台灣(TW),主機與我及發生這個狀況的另一位玩家也是一樣的使用語言與地區。
我們都是使用PC並在Steam上開啟遊戲。
我使用的解決方式是強制關閉遊戲重進房間,但我並不認為這是合理的狀況。
以上是文字是我使用ChatGPT翻譯,希望足以能讓你們理解我的狀況。
I've encountered this issue before, and it seems to be related to using Discord in incognito mode. When you switch back to online mode, your union should work correctly.
hi! this is my third game so far where the team kills the caretaker and the entire party is instantly downed in place, all at once. is this known at all? is anybody else experiencing this? going to try going a few caves away from the arena next time and see if it still happens
heyyyy
so um
I can't promote my scout
the promotion mission assignments aren't showing up
even tho my Scout is level 25
i allready have a mod.io account that has accepted terms of service on their website but when i open deep rock and go to mods it says its fetching terms of service for me to accept but the accept never shows up
my game is stuck in season 4 does anyone know how to update to season 5?
I had a progress bug in which I lost an hour of progress setting me back a few levels and resetting my mission line for the burst fire secondary license upgrade. Bug won’t even be taken into consideration unless two other people have the same issue and report it under my issue report. Honestly a very stupid and unfair system seeing as if that is not done, I will not receive any due compensation for said issue, it was a fairly annoying setback seeing as I don’t have much time to play, so an hour is a lot for me.
are you playing on your steam copy or your microsoft store copy
xbox

Anyone else's game having a file come up as malware, or is it just me?
specifically the file "x3daudio1_7.dll"?
yes! well, not malware specifically, but my antivirus is giving me shit about "FSD-Win64-Shipping.exe" and its given me about 30 notifications so far, all at once
and by not malware specifically i mean its asking for me to give it access to the internet
mine is this issue with the sideloader for a file that hooks into the game that keeps flagging the file as malware as a false alarm apparently.
ohh
maybe try verifying your files? that might help. provided you're on steam, right click deep rock galactic in your library, then go to properties, then "installed files" then click verify integrity of game files
k nvm that did jack shit for me
yeah idk
but it does help most of the time so remember that lmao
hey
has anyone experienced a bug where drg isnt updated to the latest version, S05.03.1?
my friend is trying to join my lobby but it keeps saying his game is on a different version, and when we checked, we saw that it was on S05.02
patch 3 was completely ignored
not sure if its a steam issue or a drg issue but i figured i would ask
are you playing on steam
if so right click drg in library -> properties -> betas -> swap to legacy -> swap back to none (live) and it should update
ok that worked thank you
This happened on an extract liquid morkite mission, but my jumps were all sideways/jank and I could jump infinitely midway through the match
I don't know where to write about it, so here it is
My friend got his main save got reset to zero after his laptop ran out of battery and shut down. Now he only has his "sandbox" saves with mods and can't connect to others, because the game tells him to turn off sandbox mods even though he has none of them active. Is there any way for him to restore the lost save?
If you were a client this may have been a connection issue
Yo guys my game isn't launching, im bought it from Steam but the game is just doesn't launch.There is no error messages,no other things.I tried verifying files, "-disablemodding" and 3 times fresh install and still doesn't work anything.
You may try enabling and disabling steam cloud saves and see if it does something.
Then you may try following this post:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/1/3044985412487214673/
Finally, although I don't know if it's okay to talk about it here, you may find luck googling for a save editor, but you can also try emailing your problem and your save to devs directly. I don't know if they provide such save restoration tho
You can try steps from this post, UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe one may help you
https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/2/1642039362993864094/
I was not client
try launching in dx11
I'm having a new problem since yesterday with the game stuttering for several minutes anytime I load into the hub (or the menus prior to that if I just launced the game). Every few seconds, it just freezes for a few seconds. Checked other games are running fine, updated my graphics drivers, rebooted my PC, tried messing with my graphics settings, verified game files through Steam... Anything else to troubleshoot this issue?
try launching in dx11
Dx11 didn't seem to help. I just disabled Steam Overlay and now it seems to be working fine, though friends are broken as a result
Was there something changed this last update that changed some weapons gear modifications or is there a bug? I suddenly had some with blank slots where some were reverted and showing as "not bought" and they appear to be the exact same still though
This happened to some gunner weapons as well
i keep getting errors like this on 1/3rd of the servers i try to join :\
Some were refunded. I think because they recieved some minor changes for the new OCs. It's normal
A question, what happens if your playing multiplayer and in a mission. Your power cuts off. do each player enter single player mode or everyone but the party leader gets kicked out of the mission
I'll ask in chat if this isn't the place to ask
logged in to new season and have weapon maintenance progress:
They added three new skins obtained through that mechanism
Though it is odd that you have progress on a primary and secondary from unmatched classes
yeah weapon maintenance is shared between seasons, so for those weapons you didn't max out last season will still have their progress from the last time you played 🙂
The uneven progression is probably due to maxing out on GK2 and the flamethrower as season 4 had 4/4 unlocked, but then you changed between secondaries at some point.
If the host gets disconnected every other inplayer in the mission gets booted into their own spacerig, just as if they each left the session. I can't remember if the clients also get a small reward of 25% of the resources mined, same as if they lost a mission.
If a client gets disconnected, the rest of the team can continue to play, anything you had on you will be dropped in a small collectable box. You can of course reconnect to the session again.
loading screen world
oh i was literally coming here to report the exact same glitch
i was connectting to a game that was at 11 minutes on the timer, but when i loaded in, Mission Control said they were dropping the drilldozer down implying the start of the mission, and i didnt get to choose my class, it just auto selected onto scout
really strange

I got a bug where we were trapped in the drop pod as someone joined
it's not exactly a bug, just that the game wouldn't load fully until that last player - who joined at the last second - was also fully loaded. It's just unfortunate timing 😛
So.. I found some kind of strange bug.
I tried to join my italian friend but i'm getting error saying "can't join to host because of different platforms". We're both on pc, using windows. No server mods, just some OST replacement ones. The only differense is country (me in Russia and my friend in Italy). Also servers aren't loading
my guess would be you both are on different versions
We aren't, surprisingly
you're both on the S5 ?
Yes
Are you both on s5?
.

Just making sure since you're on console and maybe hadn't realized s5 dropped today
somehow, repper not even scrolling up
(it's okay, blame it on Mobile and everything will be forgiven)
oh wait I am dumb, I read this as PS5 LMAO
I blame my allergies
Kinda feeling strange about this error. My firewall is not blocking the game, i am still online. My time is set correctly. My Antivirus is off and is not blocking the game. My game used to run fine but now it is broken.
I have seen some Russians complaining about potential region blocking recently. maybe try with a VPN?
Tried
No changes
🤔
Weird, it's close to the version mismatch bug, but you're bot on the same version
you did check the version number in the bottom left in the escape menu right?
Waiting for my friend to respond
Oh. He said he's on the same version as me
1.39.101624
that's the steam version tho
they're on Xbox ?
IDK lol
I didn't actually ask
I'm on steam as my friend
In that case you need to update
then that explains it, yeah, you're not on the last version. Follow Repper's link
follow instructions here
We're both brainfarting. It's too hot
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-2677
Sorry to bother, but I wanted to ask if there are any other players from different languages or regions experiencing this issue? I have to say that it felt quite stressful when this happened, as I was worried someone might take my spot before I could rejoin the room.
I was on a 10 aquarq mission in fungus bogs, and I swept through the cave 5 times and could not find the 10th aquarq.
true.
is anyone else having issues with the corestones where their texture is bugging out?
(i have no mods installed)
did you try to verify the game's files ?
what's your hardware specs ?
verifying file integrity fixed the issue
I have this issue with GeForce Experience when playing DRG that started one week ago
It constantly turns off for me saying I should disable HDR in game. The problem being that HDR is already disabled and I can't even enable it in a first place. This only happens in DRG and other games are fine, even if I Alt Tab from DRG and turn on GeForce Experience it works fine, but turns off when I get back to DRG. Also my monitor doesn't even support HDR. Does anyone had similar problem with this and know how to fix it?
I can't seem to be able to play with others, as if my version of the game was not updated. I verified the integrity of the files, uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted my pc. Still, can't play with others and when I try to join a friend's game I get a message telling me we don't have the same version of the game
Any thoughts? It says the last update dates from yesterday
Basically same as Kiffy was saying a few messages above
Thank you so much
Anyone else's promo number wrong? I'm over 2,000 but it says all my dwarves are only 28 or so over max promo. Thought my math was wrong but a buddy who I've played with since forever has higher promos but a lower account level. I'm confused

As you can see in each photo, I have deep pockets and Armor Tier 1C on each, but one shows 55 the other 60
I have seen this on other classes as well, so it isnt Eng specific, and it doesn't happen often at all, maybe once every 40 hours of game time
are you using any mods ?
yes
anything that impact balance even slightly ?
I use only verified mods
gotcha
then #report-a-bug
I did that, but wanted to also know if anyone else has noticed this at all?
personally, can't say I've ever noticed but it's not something I'm particularly paying attention to, tbh
Fair enough
I never noticed it, I often run the armor mod
There's a really weird glitch with the text? Anyone know how to reverse it? idk how it happened.
try verifying gamefiles
ok
e e e
Probably the funniest bug i've seen so far
<@&296918282403840000> I have a question about a matchmaking bug maybe someone can answer please. I've been having connection issues with a friend of mine and it seems like it only happens on Deep Rock Galactic. Do you know what might be causing this? I am on Playstation.
I thought I heard on a live stream the devs had that bulks are not supposed to spawn in the drill rig thingy. But apperently they can...
I can get one in a bit, after this mission
Are they in a different tunnel?
👍
in solo only
We're not tech support, my dude. We're discord moderators
Thank you for the reply, I understand
they are on the bottom of three layers of elevation and we opened all tunnels. nothing is shooting at us
we walked away and it didnt spawn more limbs
it healed but not sprouts
and there is no pink sprout or the healing line as you can see
Idk then, that is weird
Couldn't attach the image here so I sent it to you directly
also ask in #playstation
Just lost a mission because the whole team kept falling through the drop pod. Any idea how this happens? It is getting very old starting a mission over and over again at the very end of the game
playing PC
Report on pleasefix
what are your specs/ were you host?
I was not host. And all 4 of us were glitching through,
Buddy was host and he runs low qual cause of lag.
I think it's an issue that mostly happens with weaker PCs. Try having someone else host and see if that fixes it
Right on ty
Did :3
It is, however I believe I've seen reports of this happening on hardware that is listed as minimum supported. It's likely a combination of factors that have to line up just right.
I finally got around to it today with the DDU fix. Looks that may have worked. I did a solo mission without crashing. Thanks for the tips!
UPDATE: I take that back. I did a solo mission the first time it worked. But then I joined someone's mission, it still crashed.
Server browser been empty for anyone else? I saw one subreddit post about it with no replies, and a handful of folks with it on the Pleasefix with only one solution (verify integrity of game files on Steam) but that didn't fix it for me. The entire server browser shows one or two servers at most, sometimes none. All filters are off.
This might be a weird bug idk anyone else has gotten, but have seasonal challenges when going to previous seasons just vanished?
This happened twice where I was 1 mission away from "Play Driller/Scout" but upon completing the mission the challenge didn't show as completed and just vanished from the terminal altogether. Both times it has happened while completing the last mission in an assignment so I think it has something to do with that. Also in both instances I had cleared two seasonal challenges at once and the 1st one disappeared from the terminal without being completed
😔
In looking at the Event Viewer, a lot of the errors are pointing to GameInput Service, so I'll try to figure out that issue next.
they each have to kill 15
i got it but its actually only you need to get 15
the description is wrong
Ok thanks for the info i still need the achievement
:)
can someono help whenever i m trying to use mods it just apears a warning saying i have to accept term of service of mod io but it´s just that it used to work but for some reason it just stuck likes this
Guys does anyone know what exactly triggers Deep Scan to notice the Morkite Seeds being deposited?
I have been doing some Deep Scans without activating the drillevator and sometimes the game notices that I have deposited the seeds, sometimes it doesn't until I start and take the drillevator to it's destination.
After playing for a while, like a few missions, I get this one weird stutter that lasts for maybe half a second and drops my fps then it goes back to normal. It doesn't seem to come back after. If I restart the game and play for a while, it happens again. So, once per session I guess? It didn't use to happen before season 5. Does anyone else also get this?
I do yeah
Hi, does anyone know how to fix a black screen when I open the game, this only happens since the last update and it is definitely not an issue with the pc specs, please let me know if i should take the question to a different channe
use dx11 launch option
- Disable your mods (can do so by using the Safe mode launch option)
- Update your GPU drivers
- Reinstall your drivers using DDU so all leftovers are properly removed
- Try launching with dx11 (Steam only)
- Verify the game's files
- Try to install the game on another drive
- Make sure your save is not corrupted (back it up somewhere, then delete it from the game's folder)
- For more troubleshooting, see the FAQ : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2559182673
did anyone else enocutered a bug with reviving while held by nemezis? i would like to notice it makes dwarf lose ammunition
<@&296918282403840000> My game keeps on crashing randomly. It happens every 1-3 games. its almost making it the game unplayable / able to progress. There are no active mods
Teammates started drill early so I had to drop down but got stuck on the top of the Drillevator. Teammates couldn't stand on top of it and couldn't revive me :(
read two messages above yours
also, we're not tech support.
Don't ping the whole mod team for that kind of stuff please
Sorry - this has since the start of season 5, im over 1600 hours and player level 1100ish and this has never happened before, its quite frustrating especially when trying to play haz5+
Can someone help me with this? I have this problem for 4 monts now where i am not able to join someone sometimes is works tho. I might be my Nat type but i am able to play other games too.
this comes after 1 min of loading
Shouldn't DRG run better on dx12 for GPUs which support it? It can't be shader compilation if it happens multiple times. Also, when I tried to run this game on dx11 a few times, it just runs worse, kind of like shader compilation on dx12
so does anyone else have a problem where they complete the season 1 event but dosnt get the event scrip from the season terminal?
So I personally don’t think it’s normal for me not being able to join my friend. Should probably turn it on and off again first
Are you on Steam?
So I can't purchase the Smart Stout beer. Was it removed? I googled this problem, and yes, I have scrolled all the way to the bottom of the list. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the game. The Smart Stout isn't available for purchase for me.
the smart stout hasn't been removed
turn off your mods and verify the game's files
I didn't have any mods installed. But verifying the game's files worked. Thanks.
I'm stuck on 101624 version and can't play with friends on 101757. Verifying and reinstalling did not work. I'm in the Oceania region if that impacts update releases.
properties => beta => switch to LEGACY and back to live again
oh yes I had opted in to legacy to try it out a while ago
alright the update has shown up, thanks
though a bit annoying that you don't get the current version if legacy is selected
any tips?
My drg is on full brightness, even tho my brightness settings (on my PC) is set to the lowest? Has anyone encounter this "bug" before?
why is voicechat so unreliable in this game? sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt but i dont even change anything
I finally figured out what is spooking Huuli Hoarders in the new update: Bosco is super hostile to them and immediately opens fire on them if it sees them
i just lost a mission at the very end because my chat opened and then wouldn't close?
no severs?
what's your game version ?
how do i check
the numbers in the bottom left corner in the escape menu
yeah you're not on the last version
right click on the game in the library => properties => beta => switch to Legacy and then to live build again
thank you
thank you so much


So last night me and my friends were doing a point extraction mission. when the extractor drilled in, it drilled into a core stone starting the event. After we git the first bar of health down it fell to the extraction site and clipped into the drill part making it almost impossible to end the event. My friend has clips im waiting for him to send. I was wondering if this is something that could be fixed.
#report-a-bug include screenshots, preferably from the escape menu
make sure the numbers in the bottom-right are visible
Any way to damage a core crystal that activated immediately, and is unpingable, unshootable, floating in the sky?
Idk if this is common but for me core infusers at the end of events just aren't working
It doesn't show me any prompt to insert a matrix core
I have multiple cores
What do I do chat
I cant click on the last core stone reward of the first row (season event bonus) in the season terminal. Does that ring any bells?
not sure if this is the right channel to discuss it but is windows 7 still supported? and if so do you plan on dropping it?
I don't think Steam supports windows 7 anymore so I doubt DRG is even gonna be able to support it
steam isn't the issue for me a friend of mine found a workaround to use its older version, it's just that on the store page, minimal specs say windows 7 and I wanted to know if that still holds true or not
🤔
nothing confusing. that friend of mine uses the older version of steam by messing with steam.cfg and plays tf2 just fine which supports win7 (not sure if it still does after 64 bit update but it worked fine), i just wanna know if thats the case with drg too
Didnt manage to grab a screenshot (wasnt paying enough attention) But theres a bug with holding H to disable to HUD, I collected some minerals, then when I turned it back on, it showed "00" for any available minerals, but it said I had 45 barley bulds and 45 bismor, couldnt deposite it thankfully, but it was really odd. If Im able to replicate it I'll send a screenshot
anyone else gotten this at all? Or is it just me, idk how many people fool around with turning off the HUD
u couldnt deposite it ?
thankully not. otherwise I wouldve felt like a cheated
but it showed like
Nitra: 00 Morkite: 00 Enor Pearl: 00 Bismor: 45 Barley Bulb: 45
45 being the default inventory ofc
I'll prob try to replicate it tonight if I remember just to get a screenshot, as its not exploitable
anybody else have half their audio settings missing on xbox?
Anyone able to repro this one? https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-2688 It's a mildly annoying bug. But since s5 recalling sentries often gets interrupted.
This happened
Didn’t get the whole thing
But they were like phased into each other
And made it impossible to continue
is it considered a bug/is it known that when hosting a lobby you can't open the union terminal?
#drg-chat pinned messages
Can't repro (in solo mission) while shooting or mining, but if I'm holding R to fill the recall meter and I deposit in Molly with E, it interrupts. Any vids of your variant in action?
I'll also try it as client
was playing with a friend and couldnt access the terminal, kicked them then could so i guess there's that
Um, I need help
I can't join games, do Deep Dives, weekly assignments or anything like that
I was recently playing a Caretaker mission and when we killed the caretaker, everyone went down at once.
lost gear, but it greats invisible terrain?
Sometimes the infusers spawn on top of the omen
fucking what?
(ty for telling us btw)
It's a known bug, instead of spawning inside the actual infuser they spawn on the Omen. Been in the game for a while, you can probably contribute to a report on pleasefix
"infinity laser glitch/bug ? " - its a older bug and i must note 1 thing i got bosco to but the laser rock down but it kept shooting even after he break it "after stage 2" was done it did break but i had this infinity laser blasting at dotty
I'll try to get a vid. probably tomorrow
Alright thank you
I dunno what just happened. I was playing an elimination mission with a friend and killed a regular dreadnought, and I got the** Just Another Bug Hunt ** achievement, despite me not killing any other dreadnoughts. The only thing that I can presume might of caused this is the fact that a Lithophage meteorite event started (the sound cue for the large meteorite crashing into Hoxxes) right after the dreadnought died, but that's just my assumption. Any ideas?
anyone else getting crashes from using LOK1?
try verifying gamefiles
i popped 2 dreadnoughts at once for the fun of it and the twins were norrmal but... the hiveguard totally bugged out and after the 1st wave of sentinels, completely wont function
Try hugging his face while pickaxing it/ throwing shields on it. Also make a report on pleasefix + include mission seed
is the seed the "status" at the bottom left of the esc menu
Hello, I need help
The game crashes while in directx12 mode
Usually stating that I have ran out of video memory to allocate
Although sometimes it shows the unreal engine error message
Just include a screenshot of the escape menu in the report
My PC is not the problem
Then use dx11
and where do i find pleasefix+
I want to find a solution for my current problem
If your problem is crashing while using dx12, use dx11
But I want to be able to use dx12
Why?
I do not think I should be barred from using it, after purchasing a very good pc
The problem is not on my end
And I want to fix it
Sometimes it loads
But if switching to dx11 fixes it I don't see what the issue is?
The reason you can switch between dx11 and 12 is for cases like yours
More often it does not
Isn't dx12 better?
Not really
Everything worked fine until today
What's your gpu?
I am still not sure what caused such a change
Nvidia 4070ti
Try updating your drivers
I have already done that
Let me check again
Try all of these: #bug-discussion message
But if switching to dx11 fixes it I'd just do that. Though dx12 should work with your gpu. But I am not an expert on the topic
No mods installed, gpu updated, game files verified, save not corrupted
I guess I should look into the other points
Thank you for your help
I just got the unreal engine crash reporter again
with dx11?
I think you may need to reinstall your drivers
Is there a guide somewhere?
I found one
Thanks for your help
Come back if it still doesn't work
Sure
on the last stage of this weeks deepdive i encountered a bug where you couldn't mine any stuff (eg: if you mine morkite nothing would drop) and also discovered ghost / chameleon morkite that looked like regular rock but was in fact morkite for some unknown reason
Try those in that order : update your GPU drivers/use dx11 launch option/make sure the game is using the right GPU/do a clean driver install using DDU
The only thing left to try is to do a clean install
As I have tried the things you listed, and I don't really want to use dx11
Thanks for the help
what's your hardware specs btw ?
4070ti, and I can't remember the processor off the top of my head, but it is a strong one indeed
I was already in the Union but now it says that I can join in the game and I haven't gotten my payments from the Union . so when I tried to join it just redirected me to the Discord where it didn't let me rejoin the Union and it's really getting annoying cuz I want my dividend payments.

just had an experience where my collected resources de synced from my teammates, all else was fine. i could not mine anything, and i think i wasn’t being synced with what deposits they mined. known bug?
Ps4 deep dive
been having this happen for ages and frequently, the laser still does damage despite being destroyed
this has to have been a thing for a while and for a lot of people right?
i feel like it shouldve been fixed by now
but it happens like every other mission
I have noticed with my game that sometimes during a mission the screen starts to flicker and parts of the terrain become see through or dark. This also happened during season 4 but it was only when trying to clean lithophage infections that it happens. Now it mainly happens when core stones are active or when a lot happens on my screen at once. Anyone know a way to fix it. Its annoying and a little painful to the eyes.
This is an issue on your end, not with the game. I'm willing to bet it's a cooling issue, power delivery problem, or windows downloading and partially installing updates behind your back.
Then go find an appropriate report on please fix and vote to have it fixed.
This is called desync. If you or your host have a poor network connection then this will happen.
i did
wdym appropriate? are there like innappropriate ones...?
like someone yelling "FIX NOW!!"
sadly, yes
also it just means posting your issue in the right place, simple as
Thanks you, i erase the message
Nice day miner ^^
I just failed an Ebonite infection Event due to not enough Ebonite Glyphids spawning in time.
You didn't kill them fast enough. Not a bug.
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-2710 figured out the issue
quite oddly specific
i have encountered this but on rare occasions
this bug is worse for me, it straight up crashes my game sometimes (might actually be a different bug idk)
Im trying to join my friend but it says that I have sandbox mods but I have nothing for mods. I previously had some but I uninstalled them but it says the same thing.
I can't join games, do Deep Dives, weekly assignments or anything like that, can someone please help me?
Why is it still locked after I did this quest and promoted it?
because you didn't actually promote
you need to go to the memorial hall and interact with the promotion terminal after having done the assignment
the ui that shows what minerals you have and how many doesn't scale (up or down) properly
smol nitra and gold
uhh... i think there is something wrong with my dreadnaught
Hello, I have a problem, i cannot find any servers on the game.
This begin after the new season update,I was able to play some news missions and do the new seasonal assignments.
Then I accept the last new assignment, "Haz5+", and I found not some servers as always but only 2/3, i choose one with assignment mission but i got an error which said that the parameters of the game are not ok for the assignment. The next day there is no servers on server list...
All things I tried :
- Disable all the filters but this do nothing, try to see if work in deep dives but no.
- Cancel the haz5+ assignment and restart the game but it do nothing.
- Tried first to switch off/on my PC and my internet box. Not works.
- Verifying steam files. Not works.
- Desactivate my virus protection (BitDefender). Not works.
- Authorize all firewall connexions (private/public). Not works.
- Uninstall/reinstall the game. Not works. I tried deseperately to host a game, nobody join.
- Change the windows time parameters (but already on automatic). Not works.
I never had this problem, the game is on Steam, I launch the DX12 version like always, I play on windows 10 with a good PC, my internet is on FTTH and i'm connected with ethernet cable, no problem with other online games.
I've always played it vanilla so no mods installed or in the save. I'm suscriber on the Legacy version on steam.
I've made a ticket on report a bug website but no response on this topic and other which speack of similar problems.
Sorry for my poor english and thanks by advance if someone can help me.
I'me stuck since the update and I WANT TO PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY !!!

🥳 🥳 🥳 👌 👌 👌 👌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙏 Your the best
You are
Thanks for the tips and WTF DEVS TAKE THIS MESSAGE ON THE TOP OF THE SERVER ??? bythewaythanksforyouworksincethelaunchofthisgameit'sadiamondloveyou
But for the moment, there is no way to make the egacy version works ?
Legacy
you can just switch to legacy to play the legacy version
Nop i tried and it dont works, steam automaticaly "downgrade" the version of the game and when i launch i have the same problem on the actual game (no servers)
so you when you select legacy in the properties, it updates the game to the previous patch instead of Update 7 ?
Oh you would say at wich time i want to play legacy i install legacy version ?
First switch to Legacy and install it. Then switch to the main branch and it will install the newest version.
Don't know exactly the version but i saw that i had the wrong version (1.39.1016....) when i saw the message of Shrimp (initialy i was in the legacy version like always).
Then i've done the manipulation (switch to actual version/ back legacy/ then actual version) and launch, it worked i had few servers on list
So I tried to switch again with the version with legacy on steam beta menu, then relaunch the game and i had no servers on servers list, i verify and i'm again on 1.39.101624.O version
they've done that already, we're looking into something else rn
So i think the update of the legacy is already broken for the moment, you guys playing with legacy or normal version ?
yeah sorry I didn't read up in the chat far enough
I have access to both
depending on what I switch to
I'm currently not, as I'm playing on the live build.
OK i understood
You change the beta program when you want to play one or the other version
Thanks for the help
Let's go diggging now
There is so maaaaaany servers yay
not what I asked
.
thanks, that's the one
so what do I do ?
are you using mods ?
no
do anything show up when switching to other distance for the server ?
when I swithc I see some more servers then still nothing
alright
I'd suggest restarting computer and internet provider box if you haven't yet
I have
then dunno tbh 🤔
ty
it's definitively a connection issue but what's the issue exactly, I do not know
could just be a regional steam issue
I can't join games, do Deep Dives, weekly assignments or anything like that, I can't ever get core's for Overclocks, so cannot participate in endgame content. Can someone please help me?
Yes.
Very random question that's probably in here a lot, i just found out about unions at level 120 from a friend and found out that my terminal has been bugged ever since i started playing. Is there anyway i can work around the ingame union terminal?
Try the pinned messages in #drg-chat
Bless you mate i didn't spot that! 🙏🏻
anyone else have this problem??? im locked on open mic and have no way to change it
ive been trying to find a solution for 2 weeks
Now that you mentioned it, i checked and turns out i also don’t have the option to turn on “press to speak” or however it’s called
Maybe it’s a console thing
yeah im missing all of them and have no way to mute my mic, its getting really annoying bc my only option is to run solo
Pretty sure the only option there is to outright disconnect your mic, if you even can
i cant, the mic is permanently attached and for some dumb reason it cant mute
Bruhhh, lets hope they add the press to speak thingy
dude i really need em to add it bc not being able to do missions with other people or getting kicked when i try is really inconvenient
fingers crossed lol, ill do that tomorrow tho im callin it a night
Very well
I’m gonna report a bug of my own in the mean time, I’ll do it here but if i have to I’ll do it on the website
So, im on a Lithopage Outbreak mission, and one of the contagion spikes outright doesn’t have the rockpox yellow spots, deeming the mission imposible
This is what the other spike looks like, you can clearly see the yellow spots
So i decided to start digging a bit and wadduyouknow, there’s tons and tons of rockpox inside the wall, this image of my map shows what was behind the spike, and that entire area was mined by me
And here’s a video of me exploring said area to show just how much there is, again, everything there was mined and was inside the terrain
the terrain scanner just shows any rockpox surface in contact with air as red on the map
unless there were boils like inside the terrain then that's how spikes normally generate
did you try foaming and cleaning the center a lot? because the cleanable parts are not always spread out very well
There were no boils inside the terrain
you can clean one spike for like 30 seconds and only clear half and another one in the same cave can be done in 5 just by foaming the nearby area
I’ll see if that works
caretaker died but boss healthbar and attacks were still active??
It worked, i just foamed the spike itself and voilà, no more spike
But i do think that there shouldn’t be so much rockpox inside the terrain
And the boils shouldn’t be directly on the spike
they're not directly on the spike, but the weird tendrils all around the spike count as boils so that can create some confusion I suppose
i think agressive enemies makes bugs faster than players during sandstorms
is this intended?
my game is not starting after installing the new season, it worked fine before, does anyone have the same issues? i can't even launch it says cancle then play again on steam
try launching in dx11
- Disable your mods (can do so by using the Safe mode launch option)

nvm lol i just randomly launched it and it works lol was there an update?
there was
i guess they patched it.. but i've been through all the driver, windows and everything i can updates, verified files, try different launch options on steam, then through reddit suggestions and nothing worked b4 (didn't have any mods).. thx for taking your time to help though
idk if this belongs but i cant send or join games through discord game invite, when i try to join it just opens a steam prompt of opening drg then closes it but never actualy joins that game
funny little bug that's probably existed since forever is that in the tunnel to memorial hall has sparks on the ceiling that only appear when you're not looking at them. Idk if anyone ever has noticed it or if its supposed to work like that.
What is the current version number? Curious to see if I am on the right one.
i hope this is the right channel for this, sorry for posting heavy videos, but has anybody else experienced this with scout since the new update ?
either spontaneously freezing for seemingly no reason, or dying from full HP, and being instantly frozen when i'm revived.
this has happened at least 4 or 5 times where i wasn't able to record, but it's a recurring enough event that it messes up some missions.
i use Agressive Venting DRAK, Cryo Bolts Crossbow and Cryo grenades in both of those vids
1.39.102112.0
thanks
Shadowplay is refusing to record for whatever reason. But it works when mining for me, not shooting that seems to have been a mistake on my part
Made sure I uninstalled all mods too
Anyone else been getting the "Sending in the drillevator" line when pushing the button to start the drillevator?
This bug happens at least once per day to me, not sure what is causing it
No loading screen yet spawning in, seeing the drop pod while it drops, seeing the cave and other dwarves, but not seeing the UI and not being able to move
The only fix being restarting the game as pressing ESC doesn't do anything in that case
Noticing some stuttering and missed frames after updating my Nvidia GPU drivers. Anyone else noticing this and are there any solutions?
that's normal as dx12 need to rebuild the cache after updating the drivers
if it doesn't get better with time, you can always install the previous version of the driver
Is it really because of that?
I've came to the discord to ask just about that haha
Well, a person was asking earlier in the main chat if collecting items for scrip in previous seasons was bugged. I have now collected plague hearts in season 3 and data cells in season 2 in the last few hours, and both registered on the requisite seasons page on the terminal, so I have to say that, in solo play at least, everything appears to be working with that.
has anyone been experience lot more clipping through the environment since last patch? It happens at least once every session now. We just failed mission because I was reviving my partner on an incline and after they were picked up I clipped through the environment and suddenly died 50 meters away.
yep, happened with me and my friends prior to today's patch and one time on latest patch
Can confirm, DX12 shader cache rebuild after driver update can absolutely cause this stuttering behavior the first time you see a given effect. After that, it shouldn't stutter on that same effect again. Basically the first time a shader (a special bit of GPU code to generate a specific effect) runs, it has to compile in real-time (causing the one-time stutter) and the result of that compilation is cached for future calls, so no further stutter.
Some games (like No Man's Sky or Elite Dangerous) do all that shader compilation up front during game load and trade a long wait time at game load vs one-time stutters in-game, but DRG does not.
Damn, I'd much rather wait longer for the game to load than this.. Wouldn't DirectX 11 make it better?
I uh, dont think its supposed to do that
You can switch to DX11 if stutters are unbearable, however you can also try adding this to your Engine.ini file located in Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor:
[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
r.CreateShadersOnLoad=1
Oh, I suppose that would pre-cache all the shaders before the game loads, I presume?
This should compile shaders at the start of the game, not during the actual game, when something explodes and it compiles right there
Riight, I'll give it a go I suppose!
yeah, something like that, I don't have this problem in drg, but my several of my friends had the same complaint as you, this helped them to at least reduce stutters
DX11 works a little differently and doesn't have this same issue, so if you're playing on Steam you could always try DX11, though DX12 should stop stuttering once you play for a bit and see all the effects once.
Here's a better writeup: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/zitv7x/people_dont_understand_shader_cache_stuttering/
(DRG uses Unreal Engine 4)
Right, thanks! I'll give it a read
Whoa, I didn't know about this. So this causes behavior like Horizon Zero Dawn, NMS, or E:D where all the DX12 shader work happens on load?
I haven't played any of these games and I don't even know what E:D is xdd
