If scout spams pickaxe with the grapple gun out he won't take fall damage.
^ noticed this as well. Saved my bacon a few times.
So. I was wondering if anyone ran into a bug where the "Spec ops sabotage training" assignment is not avaliable. I am level 66 with 6 character promotions and these are the only assignments avaliable to me.
drink a black stout while launching ship and you get d runk in the mission
i think imma puke
that's not a bug, you are drunk and if nobody revived your effect isn't removed
i die all the time
it doesn't remove
if you drink in the last 5 seconds before launching ship. your drunk effect is permanent in the missino
don't be a leaf lover, ragequit or don't complain
well it's obvious a bug, but im not gonna bother reporting i guess
That's not a bug.
it's not? i expect it to wear off 😄
ok ok, curious how long it will take 😄 still in the mission
Hey so i played this game about a half year or so ago with a friend and just got back into it but my assignment board doesn't show any assignments. they show up in the mission select over the next mission but i don't see what they actually are.
it won't wear off for the blackout stout.
yea it stayed till end of the mission 🤣 never gonna touch this black stout again hah. kinda got a sore head from the beer
what a leaf lover
Just crashed (again from a repulsor turret) I’ll put my username in the field
There we go
Sent the crash report
I hope they fix the goo soon
My game is crashing T.T
I've tried so many things and It keeps crashing...
It suddenly stops and closes itself
Does the slugde pump still have puddles anymore in two of my games last night, as soon as they hit the ground they pop and disappear
...scrolled up to see, nevermind
Me, a driller main who enjoys DoT and good music:
-The sludge pump doesn´t leave puddles making it esencially useless unless direct hit
-The OC of the EPC that leaves DoT plasma doesn´t work if it hits a normal surface instead of a bug/ally
-The music randomly doesn´t work specially if you join late game
cant play like this
theres something wrong with the scout M1000 rifle, i've spec'd for damage and focus damage (Build is 23113 with Active stability OC) - prior to this last update, this build could one shot acid spitters with a charged shot anywhere to the body, but i've just had acid spitters surviving on low health. grunts should take two body shots to kill but some were requiring three, not sure what the cause of the issue is at the moment
@fading pine check pinned messages in here #modded-drg-chat
Is that the AP build? I believe it's been reported in #jira-bug-reporter , but you should check. Add the appropriate emoji reactions, too
just used the goo gun with 3-2-2-2-1 build and hydrogen ion additive OC and my gun didnt make any goo puddles when I shot the ground, the goo shots/fragments just disappeard
im having the goo problem now too
anyone having there breach cutter armor breaker mod not strip armor anymore?
If you're experiencing something abnormal then provide reproduction steps and #420195388675588096
i think i found a very insignificant physics bug of sorts, if you walk from a ledge right onto an active steam geyser from the fungus bogs at a sweet spot height of about 7.5m, your dwarf will float stably at that height and stay floating when the geyser stops spewing steam, moving away from above the geyser makes you fall as normal. that's the whole bug
Has anyone else gotten the bug with the grappling hook stuck saying too far?
my old bug reporter account got deactivated, do i just dm a QA lad to get that runnin again?
yes
DRG-4581
turns out im not the only one with the armor breaking bug
hopefully fixed soon
Has anyone had issues with a consistent audio stutter which begins immediately after loading into the lobby? I would prefer not to file a report if there is an easy fix that I have not been able to find through web searches. The audio stutter is consistent and occurs about every second or so and loading into a map does not fix the problem. I have been able to fix it in the past but have been unable to determine what fixes the issue, and it always returns after I have not played the game for about a week or so. I would really appreciate some help.
Do you mean the background music cut in the middle of the game?
Just joined the discord, Rock and Stone, but I'd like to ask if anyone is still missing their Supporter Upgrade dlc? I am still missing mine on PC Gamepass.
I play on both Xbox gamepass and pc gamepass. My xbox still has my supporter upgrade on it, my pc gamepass does not. Everything else still remains. Like you, the game still has the skin equipped but if i switch off it will be gone for good.
All sound, sadly
Goo gun fix when?
it is
the bug has been reported on jira
My game is crashing since the update
game seems to be crashing a lot
Have the same issue in my game. I am between 100 and 180 fps, but it's mostly unplayable due to massive stuttering. Have disabled all mods already and did a clean install. Just happened after last nights update. Any plans for a fix?
Ive had the game crash twice today right when I get to the drop pod
Had a lot of crashes, too. Mainly when launching the game, with and without mods.
Hey uh, bug here
It seems like there is an issue for our problem: #jira-bug-reporter message
Instead of my username it says "DESKTOP-9U2 DDMU" and some other numbers
It does that when I boot up the game, and I have failed to connect to anybody else each time I have tried
I set my steam status to online instead of invisible
Then it seemed to fix it
I suppose going invisible on startup now causes this
EPC charge shots aren't igniting goo. Is this intended?
is the total makeover achievement bugged?
it only works with cosmetics from the company store. so stuff from the season pass, from assignments, from matrix cores, etc. won't trigger it
ive bought then auto equipped an item in each category and still no achievment
not sure then 🤷♀️
Is the sludge pump fixed yet?
My friend (on xbox) got rival tech for free
Is this a known thing?
He's concerned about it because it's essentially taking money from the devs
no, the game has not recieved an update since patch 04
The goo gun doesnt drop puddles for my non host friend
ping isnt an issue
Is this known?
everyone's talking about it, so yeah
im using charged shots and its not leaving puddles on the goo gun, ive tested it with volatile mixture and hydrogen ion. idk whats happening?
case in point
also been seeing that armour break in general is not working
m1000 users aren't hitting their grunt breakpoints
pretty big bugs so I'm sure they will get fixed ASAP
I have been dealing with a bug today where whenever every role is taken EXCEPT Engineer, and I join it, it skips the part where I pick my character, and auto loads me in, BUT it loads me in randomly as a class that is already taken. Ive joined the same Scout Driller Gunner group 3 times and each time, it doesnt let me pick and auto loads me as Scout, or Driller. Help?
it's a client issue. works for hosts, not for clients
I could have sworn the patch notes mentioned having fixed the issue where you can join a lobby that is at the victory screen, but you get sent to the mission site instead where no one is located and you fall through the map after 10 seconds.
Every time I start the game, my voice chat is active, even though my options indicate push to talk. Every time I start the game I have to uncheck PTT and check it on again. Is this a known issue?
does anyone know why my supporter upgrade stuff isn't showing up. I reinstalled the game and now it's gone even though it says it's installed
Can’t speak to the original cause of the wrong class, though I’ve seen similar issues before. However, once you join a given game as a given class, you can never change your class again in that game. So it makes sense that rejoining the same game 3 times would give the same broken result as the first time
THE ACCIDENTAL "4"
Having a weird 'bug' happen sometimes that I can't reliably recreate. Sometimes, I'm doing whatever, usually fighting and moving, and I suddenly pull out my 4th item (shield for gunner, satchel for driller, etc.) without hitting 4 or scrolling to it. I haven't been able to recreate it on purpose, but it's definitely happening, and I've even seen it happen when I'm not touching the mouse. Only WASD E Shift etc. Anyone else see that?
Guys, I found a way to fix the bug on the loading screen
You have to go to your games local files, you can do this by right-clicking the game in your Steam library, 'Manage' > 'Browse Local Files'.
You then have to find the "Movies" folder. It can be found in your game files Deep Rock Galactic > FSD > Content > Movies
You then have to download this file I made which fixes the bug: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AzV6EaaZNR8GRREVGF9O1_UdpwRYJtZ3/view?usp=sharing
Insert this file into the "Movies" folder. Be sure it is named DRG_Loading_720p30.mp4. If there is a file here with that name already, replace or delete it.
If you have followed these steps correctly, the bug on the loading screen should be fixed and the proper text should be displayed.
having this problem as well
also there isn't any ambient music playing when i'm in a multiplayer game hosted by someone else, but it works in single player. really awkward silence between swarms/events
Both reported
If you are on xbox/Microsoft store, don’t worry. The devs are on it
Someone previously reported an issue where, every time a new challenge is ready, it's "collect data rack." I want to note that:
- I am also experiencing this issue and have been for at least 4 days (so 4 challenges in a row have popped as data rack), and
- I reroll the challenge every time (because I want pp more than scrip, but the important note is that I am rerolling it instead of doing it)
this might not be a bug it might just be my pc, but on the space rig whenever i look at the drop pod, my fps drops down to sub 30 fps
its only while looking at the drop pod
nowhere else is this the case
When ever I join a friends game I can run around in the space rig and do anything, but when we get into a mission, right as we land I loose connection to the server and get kicked out. When I try rejoining it says the session has ended but my friend can continue as a solo game, when I re try again I get no response from the game again and just get returned to the space rig.
Hack-C can land in lost loot spot makings it very difficult to connect if you don't have any driller. (thankfully we were able to knock down)
The goo puddles have been changed to ignite using the temperature system. If it can't ignite a bug, it wont ignite the goo. Plasma Burn is the only way to do it solo. It takes three shots to ignite, two if you use the T1 damage mod and Heavy hitter.
Is anyone having that bug where the missions starts and you have no soundtrack at all except for glyphids waves ?
It's a known issue.
Oh ok ok
Rock and stone. ⛏️
ROCK & STONE.
I had this bug as well so I'm planning to play gaming music until this issue is fixed lol
bloody hell
I ended up applying a windows update that was background installed. I think the background install stepped on some graphics component in my current windows install
When is the M1k getting fixed? I can't rlly run ammo on t1 due to the breakpoints and it's kinda driving me nuts, since m1k is my favourite weapon
encountered a bug that allowed me to rotate my pickaxe and only see my pickaxe in my weapons screen.
encountered a bug where when on Random victory poses, there is a dead swarmer on the ground despite it not being the chosen victory pose. It did this on handstand too
Am I crazy or are the Corrosive Sludge Pump's fragment puddles not working as intended? My shots are leaving only 1 puddle (if I'm lucky), whereas a few days ago I swear I could coat an entire area with the stuff.
No, you're not crazy. No, it isn't your fault either - Sludge Pump is bugged to not spawn puddles properly for clients.
Hello, I've had this issue with a bunch of monsters, grabbers, some macteras etc and was wondering if anyone else encountered that issue ? It's been happening since the last hotfix a few days ago
Had a guy called THERMONUCLEAR DAVE come into my game and crash it, ruining the run for my team and I. Can this idiot be banned or something please? I've got proof right here
Notice the message reading "CRASHING THIS GAME, WITH NO SURVIVORS"
use dx11
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but gas clouds seem to be much harder to ignite after this patch
Will do and keep you updated ! Thank you
They can't ban him. report him to Steam
Also naming and shaming isn't allowed
intentionnel change
Really? Because even constantly shooting at a praetorian cloud with the flamethrower only manages to ignite it about half the time now
Was the hearthstone's health/status removed from Escort Duty, because it doesn't show up anymore when the fight is started?
Or am I experiencing a bug
Is it just me or does the explosion form the omorran heartstone explosion no longer kill enemies around it?
@real dew It just happened for me too in one of my missions.
This happened to me too, was wondering how he did it
I've got reason to believe he's been banned from a source, but be careful, can't "name and shame" anyone or you might get banned as well, apparently
Eh, servers can have their own rules
So how about that bug that prevents game from launching on win-7? Is it gonna be ever fixed? If not why win-7 still in minimal requirements if dis game does not launch there since U35?
what's this crash mean
@visual nest Check pinned messages for FAQ
every time i try to launch the game it keeps having this popup for c++ needing to be installed and every time i do it it just turns off and im back to square one. if i have it already installed the popup still shows up and takes me to the uninstall screen, i literally cant open the game, doesnt matter if its directx 11 or 12 or whatever please help
Someone by the name of MEMORYLEAKER joined in a Deep Dive lobby I had joined, said two lines, then caused the game to suffer a memory leak. Tried to force-close the program through task manager but didn't make it - no screenshots, but the game went up to 100% Memory usage and hard crashed
Spoilering the exact two lines he said due to the nature of the first one. Separating them into two posts just in case the word in question causes a bot ping
|| THE DEVS ARE LITERALLY HOLOCAUSTING ME
CRASHING THE GAME WITH NO SURVIVORS||
Immediately afterwards he left and the game's memory usage spiked hard
We are aware. If this happens, send me a link to their Steam profile - he'll have to buy a new game every time we catch him.
Will try if that happens again. Tried to check him in recent players, but it only counts for the 'day'. The system restart meant Steam didn't keep his recent player profile in
already found his profile
Steam's contract absolutely allows it
I just got attacked by this memoryleaker dude, so freaking frustrating that people WASTE their time by doing stuff like this.
facepalm I thought so
Trolls do what trolls do, I'll literally never understand why
We don't have access to his key, but we are talking to Steam - doesn't help if he keep buying the game.
I don't honestly have many good thigs to say about people like that, but I do only hope that they get what they deserve 1 way or another.
Before I go, Jacob, thanks for fixing the goo gun.
We blame you for everything, might as well credit you too :3
From a developer’s position strictly, how are either the devs or steam support able to look into this instance of a memory leak attempt in order to punish the blamed? I figure steam devs likely have a backup log of what happened right?
On the brightside, I think you guys are earning money to rid him
usually it seems like you can’t prove these things from my experience unless it’s caught on footage
<@&296918282403840000>
tried verifying the integrity of the game files, didnt do anything
Shot in the dark but are you certain you don’t have a virus? I had something similar ages ago that would ask me to download something to start a game and when I did as it asked it just recycled the question. Turned out I had something lying to me and locking me out of my games
Minor Bug - Sometimes not enough bugs spawn to complete sprinkler event. They might be getting stuck in another area nearby.
i doubt its a virus since i havent really done anything with this pc to get one
ill run a scan rq
Not a bug but a tiny complaint - Can we lower the RNG on massive swarms appearing right when exiting the droppod? Its like I've landed on Normandy beach on D-day.
seems like theres no viruses on my pc
everything else runs completely fine its just drg
many missions land in caves with large starting swarms. it's intended. always be careful when leaving on egg hunt, point extraction, and refinery
Yea those seem to be the missions LOL.
Can you launch what DRG is wanting you to install or is the issue it’s uninstalling the MOMENT it’s done?
Cuz it might be a double installation thing where you’re just finalizing the set up for it but not actually installing it
it installs but drg just doesnt turn on after and when i go to turn it on the same popup is there and when i accept it it literally takes me to the uninstall screen
have you kicked the bucket on that and just reinstalled the game yet?
I know you probably have but it’s always worth the ask
i have the same thing is happening still
If it persists I’d suggest contacting steam support, unless someone else here might be able to pin point the concern
aight ill see if it helps
huuli hoarders can sense players through thin walls
even if theres no line of sight whatsoever and the fastest path to the other side of the wall is well over 30m
How thin are the walls? Those bugs have always had a heightened awareness but I rarely see them to insist it’s not a bug (well they are bugs but you know what I mean)
i'd say it was between. 5m and 1.5m
its hard to tell purely based on the terrain scanner
okay i just measured the wall and it was around 2.5m thick
ok update on my issue, i have separate windows accounts on it since i share this computer and the game turns on completely fine on their account for some reason
maybe its because its the admin acc?
i guess
i still cant play it on mine tho
does anyone know how to deal with this?
has anyone had the problem where the Hurricane has completely disappeared from the equipment screen? I did the assignment and had 3/3 primary weapons, but it's back down to 2/2 , with no available assignment, so it's just gone for me 😦
You need to purchase the weapon in the weapon terminal, it's not unlocked automatically.
I also cant join random lobbies via the terminal atm... discord invites work though?
can you try syncing your system clock ?
it started about 6h ago right?
?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2559182673
solution n°2, try that
well whatever I just switched to lan and it works now
still weird that it did not work a min ago
no amount of words can describe how annoyed I am right now
JUST LET ME PLAY THE GAME I BOUGHT ON MY ACCOUNT
you cant start it up?
@lost kayak this is happening
might wanna take it up with the QA eventually
yikes, might want to reinstall the game, that might work
Thanks to System Era (Makers of Astroneer), for having found a way to solve this issue, this is a direct quote from their forums For those of you affected by the 2015 C++ Runtime Bug that is causing the game not to run for you, we may have a solution. Try out the below steps as we've been able to remedy this issue on our end with these methods. ...
try this maybe ?
yeah try that first
Is it normal that the assignment board shows pickaxes symbols like that? 🤔
First one was drilldozer and current is elimination
just a visual bug, it's known

i mean i basically just said to do the same thing you did, but i had other things in mind as well
Just got this bug today while doing Deep Dive with 2 of my friends. MULE is just stuck like so and it won't move at all, and we can't deposit anything into the Mule
yeah, we did, but it remained as is
it was on the 3rd cave when this occured
Last two times I did the sabotage daily for the data rack I've not received a scrip. Is this a bug?
im going to give you a big fat wet kiss i can finally play the game again
lmao
you can either try to mine under her feet or ignore her if it's the end of the mission.
Enjoy the game 😄
i already have for 200 hours, thats why i was so frustrated in the first place
We tried mining under her feet, calling a Drop Pod on her, but it didn't work. And it was the start of the 3rd Cave in Deep Dive.
C4 can work just as well too, if you havn't tried that
@unkempt halo did you try to complete the season challenge and it didn't give you a scrip?
I wanna know since no one else has talked about it, but for me Bosco still makes noises when all audio is off
Seemingly his audio is mapped to any slider
anyone experiencing the scout doing an extra lunge forward after grappling somewhere?
yes, it's a reported bug
cool thx
Due to this bug, we had to call of the Deep Dive and attempt it on another day
Extra lunge?
If you are asking @hidden snow then no. If me, then yes - appears when holding forward, but not when no keys are held down, at the time of landing. (edit: key pressing is actually not a factor here)
Nah, he's not asking me
What does the extra lunge look like I mean? Like does he slide further after contact landing?
Indeed, imagine the momentum you feel when a dwarf grabs onto a ledge, but then in the dead forward direction.
Ew, nasty
killed me a few times but still allowed me to feel like a soldier in the battlefield having to deal with partially broken equipment
(not holding any movement buttons prevents the bug) (actually no)
(n = 1)
footage is attached in the link
my report that non-pressing any movement keys prevent the bug is wrong
strategically lethal
cheeky question but, has there been any attention to the English mistakes in "XYZ could need an upgrade" and "I could need a good rest" voice lines from the game?
I believe that's intentionally colloquial speech
they're blue collar workers, not English professors
it's certainly nothing game breaking
That scout grapple bug definitely ain’t strategic, murdered me many many times since that patch. Thankfully it seems to only affect clients so when I play scout now I have to host (or pause for 2 seconds after every grapple to cease all momentum)
Wish they had fixed that too in todays patch
the problem is I did, and now it's not there at all
Should Driller TCF still light Sludge Pump puddles on fire as of latest patch?
on the off chance did you switch saves
Not that I know of. The license isn't there in the terminal, and I still have the overclock I made in my forge history, so it should exist somewhere in the game?
i don't know it sounds like a bug
The daily one, yes.
true, I just wanted to show that is certainly exists in the game. But regardless, my equipment screen went from 3/3 primaries, to 2/2, and I still have no idea what happened 😦
all i can think about is some standard stuff
verify integrity of files, turn it off and on again, reinstall game, force sync with steam cloud (backup and remove Steam\userdata{userid}{appid} then start)
nothing, unfortunately
It should not. The goo puddles have been changed to ignite using the temperature system. If it can't ignite a bug, it wont ignite the goo. Plasma Burn is now required to ignite the puddles solo. It takes three normal shots with Plasma Burn to ignite, two if you use the T1 damage mod and Heavy hitter.
Ahhhhh, that makes sense now. Thanks for the reply!
Where did the ambient music go? I have battle music that kicks in during swarms, but thats it
as of last patch, TCF charge shots are still igniting puddles but they lack visual flames
but if a bugs walks into them, they are ignited
puddles ignited by heat show visual flames
I found a bug but the Jira page apparently doesn't let me use my account so I'm just gonna say it here. If you drink the daily special beer but switch classes before the animation finishes, the beer disappears and you don't get the buff. Also, entering the cosmetic shop and leaving does the magical draining beer mug still.
Anyone else getting errors when trying to join public lobbies? I've tried to join 2 games so far (that were already in progress, less than 5min in) and I got a "failed to join" error. I restarted, join a game and it went fine, then after leaving that team and trying to join a new game, I get the error. It's always the 2nd game I join after I restart. Very strange.
Oh right, Sorry. It's an issue related to the goo bomber OC of the corrosive sludge pump. If launched at certain angles of the ceiling, like in the gif. The projectile freezes and keep producing puddles. Can be done at lower points of the cave aswel as long as the angle is there.
looks like it got fixed today
Hearthstone progress meter missing
this is happening to me too
Oh, now this matches more what I've been seeing in game. I was wondering what was lighting those grunts up on fire.
anyone else have it where the red curve that indicates you've been hit, never goes away? I've only had it happen once so far so not really reproducible yet.
I had the same thing happen except it was blue like the shield and happened when the pod landed on a crassus
I experienced that as well. Happened only once and it lasted throughout the entire mission. Chocked it up as a one off bug with no reproduction.
Found a funny bug🤣 if you drink Malt Rockbearer and kill yourself in the ring game you stay big and get stuck in the infirmary have stayed big for 5 min now🤣🤣🤣
Consistent reproduction is: get hit by any enemy while the Drop Pod is descending/opening and you still have no control over your character. Common issue with Younglings/Shellbacks. I thought this was known so I never bothered reporting.
Yo has anyone seen that with the scout, if you have the grapple hook out and switch to the scanner it gives you a speed boost?
I've heard conflicting reports about that movement speed boost issue: it's triggered by either switching from Grapple to primary, pressing Control, or in both cases.
Yeah, I could make a recording of it if needed
I play on the xbox version of the game
it's patched on PC i think im thinking of something else
no wait I was right: "- Fixed a bug where Momentum modification for grappling hook would apply on weapon switch"
so xbox has yet to get that fix
so i joined a union but i cant look at it. everytime it send me here. what have i done wrong?
think the progressbar placement is working as intended /s
couple of easy fixes:
be "online" on steam and discord
allow discord and users to see your current game
bot is broken so it's really like a 50/50 chance if you follow above
new update didnt fix my bug either
i cant join any1 game and they cant join me'
so annoying
Sometimes game ignores Push To Talk option, for some reason. Just enables mic on its own. Unmarking Push to Talk and turning it back fixes it.
IMU troubleshooting finally added to FAQ
deepcore with hyperpropellant seems to have been borked by the update today; normally I can point it at a praetorian and it almost kills it/completely kills it, regardless of where it hits; now it only dies if I hit a weakpoint. If I hit armor it shatters it to hell but does little damage to its health
don't know if that was an intentional change or not
armor breaking is broken rn so that might be the root cause?
theres a new patch, did the goo gun bug not making puddles on the ground get fixed?
is the game usually this broken after updates? it's been 4 weeks...
I'm having issues installing the game on my new computer; is this the place to ask questions about it?
What's the issue?
Yes.
it keeps making me un/reinstall ue4 requirements. when i do get past that, it gives me an error message. "The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."
i've tried reinstalling the game, validating integrity of files, restarting my PC(which i'm going to do again in a second), running in compatibility mode for win8 and as administrator...
seems like the solution was to manually uninstall the redistributable packs and let the game reinstall them.
Couple of bugs on the current vanilla version:
- Related to https://ghostshipgames.atlassian.net/browse/DRG-4617 i see no progress bar of the heartstone mining when i latejoin. Happened so far 2 out of 2 times - once where doretta was at the second stop (no bar showed up on start), once when the drilling was already in progress (no bar was there).
- A very weird case of the infuse terminal getting ripped into two separate pieces, the keyhole stayed at the same spot, but the actual terminals to press e and choose the infusion got centered on the omen tower (i had to to walk over there, see screenshot). Happened once today, out of 2 towers.
Sorry but i won't go through the trouble of creating another account on Jira, since the old one got timed out and report it there.
i really don t know what to do when i get this bug, it happened to me when i tried joining a game and as soon as i drop in i land and then i can t move, my hud is disabled and i can t look around. it s the worst bug i ve encountered.
Not sure if its a bug or not but i have been noticing my mic pop up ingame despite having push to talk enabled
i got stuck on the doretta platform and could not move during a deep dive tdy. i was wondering if anyone ran into anything of the sorts themselves
Idk if this is a bug or intentional but fire no longer detonates preto death clouds, same goes for oppressors
it does, but the way it combusts (and heat) works differently now
so flame thrower direct flames don't work anymore
Anyone know why my frames suddenly dropped? Was fine a couple days ago and my other games run fine when playing.
Is that what was happening? I just assumed it was changed after failing to (visually) ignite them this morning with anything but Plasma Burn. My mistake. Last couple patches have been a trip.
same here actually. i have to disable and re-enable it again for it to stop
Yeah, that's what is going on. Fire damage (like EPC charge balls) ignites the goo but with no visual. heat ignition gives the visual. don't blame yourself, it wasn't obvious. I got lucky and caught it on accident while messing around with it when patch 4 dropped.
I'm just thankful I can use Persistent Plasma instead of shooting the dang goo now. Thank you for the correction.

anyone else have the bug where on some peoples screens dottys head is still attached to her body but for others her head is not on her body?
Before Patch 04: The game works fine. Only a few Bugs, the stability is maintained and the optimization of the game is excellent 9/10
After Patch 04 the game became unplayable, crashed constantly and optimization became horrible making the game almost Unplayable 2/10
Patch 04.1: improved the optimization a little, but not enough, it can be played although the fps drops to 8.
I don't know what you did to the game but I spent 2 days without being able to play, and today the gaming experience barely improved 4/10
Had a guy join my deep dive while at base called memory leak.... Froze my computer
said some trolly thing about drg causing a memory holocaust or something before doing it
that is... not a bug, that is a fun ruiner
block them, report on steam, and move on
alternatively, send the user's steam to Jacob when online
actually, do both
Cant seem to find em in recent players and someone responded with this channel when i posted in chat haha
will do tho
steam's recent players thing is really weird lol
anything i can do if i salvaged all the mules on a salvage mission and no button appeared (softlocked)
probably not
if you screenshot the escape menu the devs might be able to reproduce and fix the issue
oh on dd?
that's odd
i would screenshot but idk of a channel that allows attachments
if you grab a role from #welcome-and-rules you'll be able to post images
alrighty hopefully the devs can give an input of some kind
yea
oh wait
don't you have to collect all the morkite first?
I haven't played a dd in months
idk the voiceline when i completed the primary suggested not but maybe
hmm, I would give that a try
yea i gtg anyway might try that sometime
That’s not a bug. You didn’t complete the second primary objective.
Noticed after the most recent patch (though I haven't played driller for a few days prior): EPC with the Persistent Plasma overclock + TCF no longer causes the persistent plasma effect to spawn when a charged shot is fired unless the charged shot either hits an enemy, or a TCF explosion is triggered (as in, it no longer occurs when a charged shot hits terrain, where it used to before). Tested as client (not sure if it also happens as host), haven't tested without TCF.
EDIT: Tested in single player; does not happen as host, only as client.
For some reason I keep getting put on scout without the option to select another character when I join a mission.
If a lobby has "No Duplicate Characters" ticked on, that's not a bug.
Something else to add onto this: charging EPC until it overheats isn't firing a shot off, nor does it consume ammo, as client. Not sure if same for host. EDIT: Happens both as client and host.
||(though, not gonna lie, kinda don't mind that...
)||
The only guy in there was a gunner though.
I am still having the issue where i dont have access to the weekly assignments or deep dives
ive tried everything on the steam support, unistalling and reinstalling, direct x 11 and 12, allowing through firewall, internet connection, im not using a vpn. im not sure what else i can do. i tried on a different computer and it works fine, but not on my desktop
Rock and stone brothers!!! Someone feels like the scout has strange physics lately, like bouncing when landing and jerking while using the grapple hook?
yes, the grapple is still a bit buggy
I am patient, I am so delighted with the new season that I hardly notice the flaws, only when they are very evident 😉 and I love the new weapons but for now I will continue to play with the reliable ones until they have balanced a bit and I am closer to the final phase where they do not allow very big changes. Rock and stone!!! PS: DRG nomited in steam awards of course!!!
So this is where I can talk about nasty players?
You can talk about bugs in here
Alright thanks
Crashed 2 times in a row on the 2nd stage of the deep dive during a swarm
my cosmetic assignments are bugged i havent gotten any since thw heavy duty helmet and im level 61 can anyone help?
On Xbox, when i'm in a party. I switch to "in-game audio chat" and sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. When new players join my lobby i can't hear them, or they can't hear me, so i have to invite them to my party to chat. which is inconvenient when a new player joins in and can't hear anyone
You have to do the other prestige assignments first
the other promotion ones for dwarves?
or the ones like the paickaxe ones
because i still havent gotten the gloomstalker hat yet
the pickaxe ones are prestige assignment. Do those.
np
Just played a Drilldozer mission where I could not see the UI of the core progress at the end. I did not join late and did not stray from the main party. Very weird.
how come i can't join my frd games keep on disconnecting
i bougth the supporter pack months ago and with the new update everithing with the package got revocked from me
any ideas on how to solve it?
are you on Xbox ?
yes
it's a known issue, it'll be fixed soon
Hello i had a bug in drilldozer mission today (happened twice), on the first stop there was only one fuel tank. While holding control i saw a marker for the second tank on the drilldozer spawn (no fuel tank there). Is it a known bug?
Bug on escort mission. Had framerate drop to 10 for the entire mission. This has happened 3 times now, only on escort missions, persist until the mission is complete. Other missions work fine. Relaunching reinstalling does not work Direct X 11 or 12 dont launch the game for my laptop. This only started happening recently.
I think I just had a Hack-C bug. He never turned up
screenshot esc menu
oh sweet merciful Karl they fixed the scout grapple bug today. yay
I've unlocked the scale brigade weapon paintjob, and have it equipped for some guns, but it longer lets me equip it at all, so if I switch skins I can't get that skin back. is there any fix?
The game still does not work on Windows 7. It doesn't matter which directX is used. Will there be a fix?

Is deep rock multiplayer down for anyone else? It’s not letting me join a lobby, or my friend join mine
It just keeps saying “Multiplayer Session Ended”
Just want to check if it's actually a bug or my setup causing this, ever since the big update, I've been having MASSIVE fps drops whenever a swarm is about to attack - it drops down to about 10 for a while but then goes back up to normal after a while. Except for the escort mission, which is a pure nightmare to play at this point. Since the last patch, I've also been randomly switching to my 4th item for no reason at all without any button pushes. And some interactable items are impossible to interact with, as the E just keeps flashing and makes it impossible. When I am building the sentry for engineer, I have to press e once, walk away, come back, and press e again - and repeat this until the action is finished.
ah ok thanks
i was just confused about the voiceline saying to press the button and go to the drop pod lol
Ok so i got this thing where i cant join or play with other peaple or do my weekly assignments i wanna check if this is a bug or if there is something wrong with my pc
try syncing your system clock?
Quite often when I start the game my in-game voice chat is set to fully open, broadcasting everything I say even if I haven't pressed the toggle PTT button a single time. Why does it do this? These are my audio settings:
This only seems to start happening if I have Discord open.
It's infuriating and leaves me constantly paranoid that my mic might be open, as the only way to avoid it is if I have voice chat fully turned off, and turn it back on when I need it, but that's usually in the middle of an intense gunfight, so is not viable. The only fix when I do notice that my mic is locked open is to press the toggle button to reset it to its inactive state.

So idk how to create a bug report on Jira reporter after making an account but I’ve already searched for the issue and it wasn’t found. So I’m not sure if it’s only Xbox but sometimes when an objective is completed the text gets stuck on screen and the game volume dramatically drops for the rest of the mission.
I’ll take a screenshot later if needed when it happens again
so did the last two updates increase the parameters for DRG ? because it ran beautifully but after the previous update my game runs really rough now including screen tearing and freezing
+2 for the low fps and freezing for seconds on end
anyone else notice the new loadout slots arent empty? they are copies of the 1st
I've encountered this bug multiple times, and I managed to finally do a full mission with it. The mule gets stuck moving in place in escort duties and mining expeditions, (those are the only missions i've noticed it in, although Im certain it happens in every mission with the mule) Breaking the terrain surrounding the mule location, placing platforms underneath AND inside of the mule do nothing, and neither does spamming the call button. My friend and I waited 20 minutes for the mule to respond, but she remained stuck the entire mission.
This was at the beginning of the cave
Hey you guys wanna have a laugh? my friend somehow managed to get stuck were the elevetor is at near spawn
And this was after we completed the mission
Esc menu was included just in case
Not sure what causes this, but it's extremely frustrating when it occurs, even if it's very infrequent.
I was doing this week's deep dive with a friend and the BET-C on the second stage wouldn't attack any bugs after we repaired it.
@thick sorrel Normal deep dive or elite?
You're on the microsoft version. It has already been fixed. Wait for a patch.

so uhh....
not sure if this is a known thing
but theres a way to look/shoot/throw things through the wall by platforming your head into the wall
Bet-c will target the korlock 'heart' despite it being invulnerable
what do if core infuser gets stuck like this
it's unfortunately a known bug. in my experience you just have to tap the PTT button once per game session and it will fix it.
Look at the center of the Machine event itself. Common in my games it tends to just Teleport near by within the machine event area. It will look like a broken off part of it floating in air. It will be interactable
Oh nice
Am I missing something in the patch notes? I can't ignite neurotoxin, praetorian clouds, or sludge pump puddles with the plasma charger or flamethrower anymore.
Computer not using most of the resources available
And running at 40
Fps
It's generally in game like this tko
Is there a way to make it use more gpu
check your nvidia geforce experience and check if you have "whisper mode" on
if it's on, turn it off and re-launch the game
I don't have Geforce experience
alright, hopefully some tweaking with your graphics config will fix the issue
I wonder if DRG is trying to use your laptop's integrated gfx instead of the nvidia
I tried fixing that
I think it isn't
But I turned on use Nvidia in the settings too
I'm constantly struggling with drg on a computer that can absolutely run drg at 60 fps
weird. my old laptop behaved in the same way
It loads extremely fast tlk
And I used to run it at a cool 100 fps
But now its just not
hey is the game getting softlocked like this a known bug?
i was trying to type in chat when the pop up showed
then the cursor just went away and i cannot click on the continue button
but i can walk around with that in my face
then i thought if i open a terminal it might reset
but i got permanently stuck instead because it still wouldnt give me my cursor back
and not even the esc button did anything
and i had to alt f4 the game
yeah I had a similar issue earlier
opened a terminal before the progression on assignment popup came and then I had to have a friend start the next mission and leave without me to get unstuck
I guess the issue stems from the delay in getting the progression pop-up
yeah, i did notice that the pop up shows later than before, that previously you were never allowed to move until you close the pop up
but now you can take like 2 steps or sth and then the pop up stops you
checking the jira to see if there's a report of it already
there is a report and someone assigned to it, I hope it gets fixed soon lol
i see
yeah hopefully haha
that was the first time it happened to me and i got so confused 
anyway thx
The following might be irrelevant as the issues arise when you push the games limits with modding.
While it is all circumstantial, I have been noticing when I push the games bug limits since U35, that if a client has a graphics card weaker than a GTX 1080 equivalency or higher, that the server/host will crash (along with everyone else). I suspect there may be a bug where if a client is performing poorly or crashes it causes the host to crash. All the mods I run are stable in sessions with those that have a graphics card at that level or better. If I do not push the game the game is stable for them. I have been told their FPS goes down to 10 or lower when the issue occurs. I have the settings in place such that the game may dip for a moment, but it will maintain 30FPS if not far higher.
I used to be able to push the game to 300 bugs and 500 swarmers in hosted matches and have it remain stable... now at 200 bugs and 100 swarmers it regularly crashes with weaker systems. I did not poll what systems people had before U35.
The mods I am using claim to be updated and I realize a mod could be causing it... but thought I would note it in case anyone else has observed or done research into this. My next test is to limit the mods to just one that increase swarm sizes with someone that has a weaker system... if it crashes thereafter I'll circle back around here and inform various the mod makers and perhaps they'll be able to help identify/triage the potential bug. I have tried a few different mods that change bug caps... this potential issue is not unique to any one of them.
This happened. I was joining as scout, the game lagged trying to join, space bar made my guy say words during the load, i spawned clipping and merging with the ground and i fell through the world, then i spawned on ground. after we finished the mission the drop pod spawned, i climbed way up to check around, was not open, Point Extraction mission in Glaciers of course.
Well, so long as it's known hopefully it will get fixed.
One time I was drilling through the one area that has coral (I’m sorry I still haven’t memorized the biomes) and it lagged my game for a good 30 seconds, I’m sorry I can’t provide more information and I’m not even sure if it was an issue with the game considering my computer isn’t the greatest, but I may as well bring it up
I've reset my pc and drg is still only using 10% gpu
Is there a way for me to force drg to get the resources it needs
I know I can run it if it's using resources
DRG ain,'t really GPU heavy. It's more the CPU you should be watching.
Besides, are you using Nvidia ?
yea
the cpu eh?
i used to be able to run it at the 150 fps mark
but now its just not happening
my cpu has roughly 50% utilisation and my two gpus have 20$ each
I'm running at 30 fps frame limit now to keep things playable
But this is very harsh on the eyed
It has access to all cores and high priority
Optimisations don't really help since they ignore the root problem, being I can't use the vast majority of precessing power
It's constantly stuttering and literally unplayable
A more in depth explanation is my game kinda
Stops running every few seconds
Slows to a crawl and speeds up
And does thst
There are pending window updates...
Just watch them fix the issue...
Didn't nvm
i already sent it in #drg-gallery but the bomb dispenser for the tritilyte deposit spawned over 225 meters away, the bomb dispenser spawned in the first room on an escort duty meanwhile the tritilyte deposit was in the last room where the ommoran is
like i know the bomb dispenser can you really screw you over but come on man, this makes it impossible
I can't complete the first mission of the weekly assignment. Tried 3 times and every times there is only one fuel tank at the first stop of the drilldozer. Is there a workaround?
Am i the only one who experienced some crashes since the last patch? (patch 4) the game freezes the audio cuts and the game crashes
my game crashed 3 times over the course of the week already
it's very annoying given i host my games so everyone with me gets kicked out
(to be taken lightly : it may have something to do with the sludge pump, i'm not entirely sure but the last time i crashed, yesterday, i definitely had it, so maybe when there's a lot of goo on the floor, furthermore on fire. That may be what caused the game to crash)
Why does my armor breaking upgrade on plasma cutter isn't working? Also is sniper rifle got nerfed? Cause it started to deal less damage, or is it just a bug that causes some of upgrades not work.
I don't know where to ask so I'll ask here. It's not a bug or anything, just some graphics issue. Is there a way to smooth the edges of the hands? Everytime I play Scout with the roughneck outfit, his hands are really pixelated. It's not really noticeable when using gloves. Is there a way to smooth it more or this is just how the game looks?
that's how the game looks
it's currently bugged
damn... i hope that's gonna be fixed soon
I have a glitch where all four of my classes have access to all the guns and unique tools. But now I can’t use the heavy gunner classes rocket launcher.
@sweet radisheloper
I had this last night but slightly different scenario:
Failed mission (not host) - loading screen to rig locked up entire client and had to alt F4 to close.
turn off you mods
next time press enter, maybe it will skip the pop up
Oh huh never knew pressing enter skips the pop up, good to know
Anyone else still having mouse click issues in game? I saw they 'fixed' it, but i still sometimes have issues of clicks not registering.
what exactly is the issue?
sometimes it wont register that ive clicked, sometimes it does, but doesn't register that im holding it. Havent noticed it anywhere else.
Screenshot esc menu
supporter pack isnt working and the items and skins are not appearing
ms store version?
then its known, devs are patching it
and bought on the xbox app
ok
so its a known bug
and will be patched
next update?
lads at #xbox-and-windows-store know better, just shoot out a question there
ok
why does broken supply pod do this every time?
Rng
Just stumbled into a weird bug, some sort of delay while picking up the canisters off of Doretta led to the game thinking I was holding both at the same time... and essentially destroying one of them from the game. The marker for the second, missing canister got relocated to the drop pod, and I tried getting downed to see if that'd fix things and maybe make it spawn back in (it didn't).
It needs empty space to put the resupply racks in. For some reason it does even though the regular resupply pod doesn't.
what just happened?
Dunno if this is the right place but my save is wonky and I don't want to lose Progress. It gives me this message and if I load it it reloads the Space rig but the levels still don't match up. What can I do?
Can you send screenshot without cropping?
there you go @glacial terrace
the second save was just a try to reload that one btw
was pretty much a carbon copy
I've got a weird bug lately that has been going on lately, like for 3 days, that deep rock uses 100% of my graphic card and yet on low graphics it mostly runs on 20 fps. it didn't happen before and I'v got no clue what has happen. I've got radeon RX 580
Is anyone else having an issue where the game errors out on startup? It was working fine on my computer until 4.1 hotfix. Now every time I load into the game I get an error message "Your Steam Session Appears to be having some loading issues". I've tried running it on a different hardware and the issue persists.
Other steps I've taken include:
- restarting the computer
- uninstalling and re-installing the game
- running game as admin
- disabling firewall and restarting steam
- running it using DirectX 11 option
same thing , but it looks like i lost em
well im stupid
use the restore save button
it actually does work
can i somehow change it
damn
Daniel
we all there are fools
i dn what to do now
i only spended 40+ hours but it steel hurts
i wanna die
@eager tapir Check pinned messages for faq
it was stupidity on my part, i should have known better
Still no fix for the stuttering and framedrop issues? DRG is nearly uplayable since 3 days :/
Who can assist me with game crashing on bootup? I've already followed the steps from the pinned messages and I'm still having the same issue. Please help.
Terminal menus seem to show voice activation on the top left, while i've got push to talk on. Not sure if it's actually transmitting voice though.
Bug report dashboard says to "either use the search on the left by using keywords →" but it's actually on the right. (at least on my browser)
Anyone else noticing that the Armor Breaking mod on the Breach Cutter isnt working like it did a patch ago?
I can't find any servers in any mission. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but i've never had this issue before
armor break has been bugged for a few days now
several reports about it on jira
I just bought the supporter pack and it's not showing up in game, I saw others were having this problem, should I just uninstall and reinstall it?
I'm on pc btw
Anyone been getting stutter issued since the last update
Ok better question, js there a way to allocate or force drg to use more if my gpu and CPU
try turning off the game, and turning it back on again
It won't just show up instanty;
I restarted it multiple times to no avail, a reinstall would take a while with my wifi, do you think it's worth it?
can someone help me? my game keeps crashing halfway through the match with no crash log or anything it just freezes, blacks out and DIES
Yes, there’s a detailed bug report on it from the data miners/scientists in the wiki channel and it will probably be fixed.
By “pc” do you mean steam or the xbox app/Microsoft store edition?
i use xbox app/ms store
Has anyone been getting fps drops for seemingly no reason
Like it runs well then dips then runs well
Every few second
Started after the recent update and the game is unplayable
Then yeah it’s a known issue that the supporter pack isn’t showing up in game, the devs are working on it
The CPU isn't being used very much either now and the GPU is stuttering between 10% and 50% is there anything I can dk to stabilise this?
Wait, is your nvidia gpu at 82 degrees…?
I'm getting 20-40 fps
76 now
Ok now it's running at 100%
I've no clue what's going on
I'm gonnaset it to 30 fps
And see if that gives a consistent experienfe
But ive no clue what's been going on between my computer and drg
The hardware is good enough and for a few days a week ago it was running perfectly
There isn't an apparent cause for this but I have no idea what to do
I'm really sick and tired of people joining my game just to grief me with the exploit and crashing my game
😦
Yeha 30 fps is ok ig
(Cross-posting here and at DRG modding Discord)
OK...calling this out here as I've seen it twice now, though I can't figure out what's going on. Hoping others may see it and help pin it down.
Both me and a friend have had circumstances where it /says/ mods are disabled, but they clearly aren't.
Neither of us have ever used any mods that aren't via official DRG / mod.io channels
Just had it happen now with the "Thickaxe" mod that was clearly enabled when game said no mods were enabled
Anyone seen this? Is there a simple way to "clean out" or reset everything so this doesn't happen?
For now I'm going to just run with -disablemodding to hopefully make extra sure
Yeah 30 works
Give it a day maybe, it took a bit for me to get cred for the last DLC when I bought that one. Maybe verify game data thru steam?
I've noticed I get stuck for a bit in the pause menu when I press Tab after pressing Esc, is this normal? or is my keyboard messing up
Sort of similar for me, out of nowhere the game keeps crashing on me right after title screen. I'd done everything I can find regarding it but still happens. Oddly enough sometimes it boots up fine but it takes multiple tries. I've put a few hours into this game and never an issue until the last week or so.
Someone joined our game named "100% Ram Usage" and is able to spam a billion oozes and EPC shots to quite literally, as their name implies, get games to use too much RAM and crash.
Thankfully our computers could handle it, but the ooze/EPC shots were permanent in the game so we had to abort and start over. \
Obviously a bug but never saw this before.
I thibknwe have a similar issue
I have to bit a bit too
I got my first silver promotion but I didn't get the Silver-Tier Employee achivment
But Mike is just the game refuses to take the resources it needs and runs horribly as a result
you got it, thanks
I assume you mean you, hopefully:)
ill give it a week and see what happens
anyone else having enemies glow like this for no reason? sometimes they flash like crazy too and it hurts my eyes. not sure if this only happens in multiplayer or solo too since i havent played solo in a bit. it's not all the bugs, it just happens sometimes and im not sure why or what causes it
it hasn't happened to any of my friends so idk if its something wrong on my end
If you are on dx12 try dx11
If you have any mods at all enabled, disable them
Is there any way to brute force the computer to make it use more of its GPU? Drgs only using 20% and I've done everything, resetting reinstalling drivers updating windows, I don't want to lose more of my weekend to this bug
Has anyone else been experiencing problems with their saves?
I've started the game several times and almost every time it boots up into the tutorial
I can load an old save but it's still annoying to go back and fix my settings and everything
yeah might have to reinstall and then put in the save file
awesome.
has anyone else noticed big FPS drops during data center events?
Was that screenshot of task manager (that you posted earlier) taken while running DRG? CPU is wayyyy throttled down (0.77 GHz) for an active game.
If your computer is CPU bound while gaming it can’t feed the GPU fast enough to keep it “busy”. Running at 770 MHz would almost certainly cause most 3D games to be CPU bound
(All hypothetical based on assumptions about your screenshot, so feel free to clarify)
the background color in the laser pointer for the laser and pulse gun parts of the omen are in a different color than the background for the burst gun
okey...
Yeah drg
Oh shit it's a CPU issue
How do I fix it?
I’d probably start by looking into why your rig’s CPU is throttled to such a low clock speed under load. Kinda outside the scope of DRG bug discussion, but places to start looking might be either OS power profile settings or thermal throttling problems
Pulling out scanner while holding a large item causes my currently selected weapon to hover in midair
please fix the drg disconnect and not being able to reconnect problem ive wasted hours of time as a result
So my friend tried to join as I aborted the mission...
The longer you look the more problems there are
hello i am having an issue where my game freezes for a couple seconds on any steam overlay notification as well as causing framerate lag in discord and other pc apps
i cannot find any mention of this issue online
steps i have tried:
- exempting drg from antivirus scans
- disabling hardware acceleration in discord (helped somewhat)
- disabling drg's master eq setting
- setting game to windowed fullscreen
- enabling vsync in nvidia control panel
- setting process priority of discord and other apps experiencing lag to realtime
- disabling steam overlay entirely (might be working somewhat)
use dx11
xbox live background video recording gets stuck at one frame while in mission
turning it on and off helped one time but when I attempted to record 2nd time it failed again
I'm constantly recording stuff but it started to fail since last hotfix I think
Weird white patches have been appearing everywhere, for some reason
do you have mods installed and enabled?
I mean, yeah
some of them
I think it's the one that removes particles, that might be why
thats the problem. start unchecking each mod until the problem disappears
3rd time this week a hiveguard glitched out and wouldn't call for more sentinels. Like wtf?
i am having a funny situation where the hivegaurd isn't spawning the minions aka the ads that you gotta kill
so we just got a hivegaurd that's just wandering around
Im not sure if im supposed to discuss it here, but I have encountered this bug where sometimes mactera's turn fully green/yellowish. It even happens in the bestiary. Is this a known bug? or should I report it. It mostly happens when they move in certain ways and not even all of them have the issue when theres a group.
it's 100% the remove all particles mod
when hiveguard does not spawn minions, is it at the very beginning right after you shoot the coccoon?
and does minion-less hiveguard attack you?
Aight
does anyone know why my supporter pack stuff doesnt appear in my game after update now?
My friend encountered blue screen in game and wiped his save.
This seems to be an ongoing (and reoccuring) issue at the moment based on Dev comments/updates.
Try a restart but failing that just will have to wait for a fix, sorry brother.
no. the hiveguard can run directly into you and doesn’t do anything, happened during last weeks edd too and we didn’t feel like doing it anymore
and yes its right at the beginning
we waited like at least 5-10 minutes to see but nothing happened so we left
i know this question wasn’t for me but i’ve had that bug happen to me like 3 times already:”(
don't use dx12
Anyone else having trouble with Bet-C not firing on enemies once she's been repaired? Since the new content I keep having trouble with Bet-C not attacking anything at all after she's repaired.
it's fixed, the microsoft version is not up to date with the steam version.
I'm on Xbox One
same version
I dont know if it was reported yet but I lost a scrip when the server closed while I was spending it.
not necessarily a bug but weird tyrant-weed generation separating the sprouts and the core weed, making it near-impossible to solo kill
I just lost all 205 levels of progess. How can I recover that? My last save point is at level 154.
If you stuck in texture and fall. You always can see this screen on under -1830m. And we can't do something
try using the restore save feature?
fair enough, 50 levels is quite a while
Has anyone mentioned the xp bug/exploit? Seems some people are getting extra xp for missions but no idea how.
Not sure if devs have said they're aware of it yet.
what is the exploit?
No idea how to recreate but I just had a teammate get 5 lkevels for a mission
i got like 1/3 of a level
that sounds like a mod, but it's weird that you wouldn't get the same amount of xp
Cheating is a thing, sadly
😦
verrry interesting bug
pressed the button to extract, no mission control messages and no drop pod
only ended once we all died
i have the seed, just checking jira for any previous reports
i lost 36 hours of playtime, played on a normal pc before, now i have a gaming pc, first thing i did was starting DRG, i have to start all over again, cloud save was checked on my other pc 😦
try the restore save function in game
Hey has anyone ran into an issue where the game will freeze and in the resource monitor Deep Rock Galactic will hang while waiting on an scvhost process? When I kill the process that DRG is waiting for, it will unfreeze but the PC's audio will stop working. Event log only mentions the killing of the process. No crash reports. Other weird behavior include if I exit to desktop after the mission and then reenter DRG I get the Game Abruptly ended prompt despite me exiting DRG normally.
Before I enter in a ticket has anyone ran into this before?
has anybody else been having an issue that causes the Breach Cutter with armor destroy to not destroy any armor?
yep, armor breaking is bugged at the moment
is this known already or do I need to report it somewhere?
known
thank you!
This creature was toooo far, but still could born new hatchlings.
I noticed that there's something wrong with armour breaking. My Breach Cutter no longer breaks armor and I cannot one-shot web spitters with my M1000 hipster build.
that's just an unlucky spawn :/
as said like 2 messages above, armor breaking is a known issue
Yep, it is! 🙃
Sorry, missed it!

hey guys im playing with my friend and we want to play a mission with other people but theres no join button is that because my friend is with me or is it a bug?
You guys should be able to just host a public session so people can join you guys
Yeah but its taken a long time for people to join and that usually never happens
found this nice little number underneath a pipe in the illuminated well refinery mission.. seems to be some sort of hand held with glitchy screens.. interesting i might say.
yeah that thing is the pipe building tool, kind of funny when you get to see things like this
A friend has a connection issue. Looking at Jira I don't see any bug reports that seem to quite align with our experience.
Connections work perfectly fine for me and another friend, be it between us or with strangers so I feel like the issue is not on our side. We are both situated in EU. The friend with the issue is sitting in Canada.
Whenever they play a multiplayer session, people try to join but are never able to get in; they get kicked during/after loading it seems. That friend is also not able to join most games.
When Canada friend tries to join either of us, they get kicked out in what feels like 95% of the attempts. That friend is sometimes able to join me, and me them and sometimes we 3 are able to play a mission to completion when both join my game. Although Canada friend typically gets kicked after the mission review. Also to note, while I am sometimes able to join my Canadian friends lobby, my other European friend is not able to join in those cases.
Earlier today, after we managed to play a whole mission without issue, that friend got kicked from the game.

They then managed to join us in the space rig after a couple attempts, we chose another mission and started it. After we all loaded, that friend got kicked again. And were then unable to join us.

They've tried disabling any antivirus that may be running. We've also all set the search distance in the server browser to World just in case. Other P2P games seem to work perfectly fine between us 3, such as Warframe.
Any direction to getting this to work would be much appreciated, thank you.

We had a prospector deposit spawn partly inside a crystal on crystal caverns. Took a while to determine that the antenna of it was blocked, we thought the event was just glitched at first then I decided to destroy the crystal that was on top. Pretty sure that's not supposed to happen

Hey is anyone else experiencing a glitch in which other players' beards are colored incorrectly? (As in their mustache is red but the beard is brown)
it's known
Oil rig is increasing enemies way too fast. Overlapping swarms by ~15 minutes on H4, reproduced on modded and unmodded. Also chewing up more cpu than expected; makes me suspect the internal clock is disconnected from the mission length timer and is spinning fast. No problem with aquarqs.
any news on when they will patch BET-C?
Everyone in my party just received the "Just another bug hunt" steam achievement and I didn't and I was the sole surviving member of the fight
WTF
Am wondering too...Since I noticed it, I leave it be, because it is just a nuissance during fights...
Just cameback from holidays and my season progress has been reset, i still have my unlocks in my inventory but the tree and everything has reset, this is on windows version of game.
I might have found a bug
That was me recording it and reproducing it after it happened the first time lol
Not sure it's worth reporting.. but it sure is worth posting lol
Just had a BET-C, that I had to trigger, because there were minerals right above. Repaired it, so the noise stops, and it actually fights again^^
This is closest to a support channel, I wanted to ask, is there anything DRG is particularly limited by when it comes to performance? Been having issues staying about 30 fps and I'm not sure what settings to turn down when most are pretty low already.
I suspect to a degree it's memory / HDD, mostly because I'm always the last to load in to a game.
If you have multiple Screens, pull up a Display of your ressources (in case of multiple hard drives, each on its own) on the other Screen, and then observe the usage. That way you can locate the problem first and if it is due to RAM and/or CPU, you can change settings. If it is due to drive usage, you should get another hard drive and install games on that one.
Only one screen, unfortunately I am on a pretty old (but decent at the time) laptop. Been unable to replace it due to the hardware market at the moment.
I can probably set up performance monitor and alt-tab to check past usage though
Ok, that explains everything. Just incase it is only RAM/CPU, you could attach the Laptop to your TV, set it up as a second Screen and check the usage.
Dont Alt-Tab, because it falsifies the usage display.
Hence performance monitor, usage will drop the moment I alt tab, but the past usage will still be there on the histogram
Yeah, but as the usage is high enough, that your frames drop, it might freeze some seconds, when you tab over...If you can set up a histogram, that you can scroll back, it is fine, but otherwise it will be useless in case of freezing due to tabbing...
I just joined this server right now to report an issue. me and my friend played a co-op recently and right after we finished the power in my house crashed for a moment. After 5 minutes I come back and it tells me that I have to do the tutorial. at first I was a bit concerned and confused and after joining the tutorial I noticed that my character is level 1. I quickly leave the tutorial and go to the changing kit menu and all of a sudden I see everything restarted, as if I have done nothing. It doesn't show my last save where I was pretty advanced in the game and now I have to start all over again. Any solutions?
all of my progress was basically deleted and now I'm worried I won't be able to get it back.

If you want to geek out a bit, there’s a free performance monitoring / info tool called HWInfo that supports a client/server mode (if you have a second machine that can run the client).
i dont know whats going on but alot of enemies are glitching weirdly with their textures. They look like this and flash randomly. Opressor on top and pretorian on bottom
Switch to DirectX 11, that should do the trick most of the time. Verifying game integrity in Steam can also be an option.
so i havbe a bug to report i played a extraction mission with my frind annd we collected 6 out of 7 aquarts and the last one didnt exist i think what happend is that i put the aquark into the drillhead and then i lagged so it didnt detect it not sure tho but it was pretty annoying and a huge waste of time
there's always more aquarq than you need
we dug out the whole are untill it was a giant cube and there where still nothin
Anyone else on Xbox have all their DLC constantly missing? I know about the supporter bug, but I have all the DLC, and the majority of the time I boot the game up, it's all missing. Restarting the game a few times usually makes it reappear, but then it happens again the next time.

I started with bosco and pinged jadiz for him to mine
someone joined so he exploded, but the person left immediately after (empty personal drop pod lol)
and then the jadiz was just stuck there floating and i cant pick it up myself, bosco came back and cant pick it up either (he did a digging animation on the jadiz for a bit then just stopped and looked at me like wut)
thought it was a lost jadiz but later someone else picked it up on the ground, then we were able to deposit it
i think the new people who joined said they didnt see the floating jadiz, but i was able to ping it before they found it
would this just be considered a desync issue or sth else?
anyone else not getting achievements related to completing haz 5 missions? i've done two solo with no downs/resupplies and restarted the game after each but the steam achievements don't pop up. the only thing i can think of that might be interfering is that i have a single approved mod enabled, but i doubt that's the case.
Does anyone have a clue as to why sounds in-game are muffled for some right now? Friend can barely hear the game at 200% master volume.
yep, that's your issue. all mods have to be off for achievements to pop
damn, can i use verified mods?
hmm, not too sure. they might all have to be off
I would say disabling the approved one would prob work
currently in a mission where i have to kill 2 Dreadnaughts. i killed 1, and now im on the second one... the second one is a Hive Guard. i opened his egg and he is docile as all heck. ive looked through the whole map and there are absolutally NO minion spawns
only things in the area is me, MOLLY the minecart, and a friendly BET-C
well and the Hive Guard
@plush sinew I've had this happen a few times myself, for some reason it took close to 15 minutes but eventually our sentinels spawned, not a real solution but hopefully you don't have to restart
ill see, currently it has been about 8 minutes so ill wait longer. if they do not spawn then hopefully this bug gets fixed
so i got bored and started to just keep shooting the Hive Guard. after enough bullets the Hive Guard did this like.. "calling": sound, and then the minions spawned

My friends and I recently picked up DRG, with one friend getting it last night and has had random crashes during play.
He's got a pair of 970s in SLI, and is getting 100+ FPS during play sessions, so his system is hardly bottom-end.
His screens go gray or black at random times during a mission with no discernible patterns.
He's never done the experimental branch, but still used the -disablemodding fix, updated his DirectX, and closed everything else.
Any tips here?
I used to have two 970s and SLI generally produced problems with newer games as not all games actually have support for the setup.
so it's not my mods! yep i have that problem too, exact same
directx 12 or 11?
has anyone experienced a crash where it freezes your pc into a pink screen of death before?

I've noticed that when you join into a rich atmosphere mission, the other dwarves won't have the high pitched voices just you
Anyone having issues with the game crashing after the loading screen, I've tried both DirectX's, I've ran it as an admin, and I've checked file integrity but it still backscreens.
I have no mods or anything, I've only ran the game once, and it worked just fine.
stock breach cutter doesn't ignite gas anymore
and flamethrower still works like shit on gas. sticky flame has to be there before gas.
has it been changed with dreadnought spawns in elimination missions or is this a bug?
iirc there shouldn't be duplicate dreads on an elimination mission, but the full length mission we did just now (aka 3 cocoons) gave us 2 hiveguards and 1 og dreadnought from the cocoons. I also unfortunately didn't think to take a screenshot of the esc menu when it happened....
Check for a windows update
What is with this drop pod bug
Dealing with a constant swarm until someone leaves is a nightmare
Not a bug. Elimination Dreadnought spawns check only for "Same variant can't pop out of a cocoon twice in a row", so no two Hiveguards/OG Dreads/Twins in a row. If 2 Hiveguards etc. show up in the 1st and 3rd cocoon you pop, it's normal. There's no rule that dictates all of the variants have to show up.
huh really? ok then
that's the first time ever i got repeat dread on elimination since the new dreads came out
the hiveguard was the 1st and 3rd cocoon
always thought it has to be all 3 variants if it's a full length elim
Updated, still not fixed
@pseudo crown I have a MAJOR issue that needs some serious attention. I just logged into DRG after having played the game for the past 2 weeks and have just been reset a full week of progress. I just reached Gold Star 2 today and I exited the game around 5:30PM Eastern time. all of a sudden I'm back to level 4 silver star 3 and I've lost all of the progress, resources, and even error cubes, I made over the past week. I hate to ping a dev but loosing a full week of gameplay is a serious issue. the only difference between today and yesterday was my gold star 2 promotion. I live streamed it just yesterday too!! here is a link to the vod as proof https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1219266644
don't ping devs...
check the FAQ in the pinned message
Um on a general note I know better, please read the issue. this is a serious issue that I believe warrants immediate developer attention. I just lost a week of my time and effort playing this game when promoting to Gold 2. this is not some easily "repeatable" bug. this is a serious issue with the game. However even within law there are general exceptions to the rules, such as the given severity of an issue. If I had made purchases those would have all been lost and I was seriously thinking about getting some skins; very glad I didn't. Also note, I'm a cripple, I'm permanently disabled. so a week spent playing DRG while down with Covid is more or less the equivalent of 2-3+ weeks of play for a normal player. the severity warrants immediate developer attention. I went from player level 101 to player level 84 and have been reverted to being mid Armor Hunt: Black Crag + Gloomstalker Mask MK3 assignment
I lost all my cores from core hunts, cosmetics earned and even 20 levels or progress on the Rival Incursion season.
Contrary to what this mod is saying, this matter requires immediate @developer attention
i've read the issue, you're not the first person with a save problem
yeah but one that goes back over a week?
this is insanity
my game save was fin UNTIL i promoted to gold 2
yes, it can happens. Anyway, check the FAQ, you might be able to get your save back/repair the saving process
worst case scenario, if the issue is not solved through the FAQ, you can contact the QA devs but try the FAQ first
link => #bug-discussion message
I'm going to need a link the the FAQ. I can't see it on the list
I just gave you the link :p
sorry. misread that. my bad
no problem
You are a life saver man. ok, I really gotta hand it to the DRG dev team here. I've never seen a game with such an easy to use save/backup system. I was able to recover all of my data. thank you as well ser pounce.
nice
glad to see the problem easily solved
sorry for any trouble caused. thanks again
when is GSG lowering themselves to fix armor break so i can use m1k again?
Anyone know what might cause in game voice chat to stop working? Friends can hear people but I hear nothing.
I've tried everything I can think of, even uninstalled to see if that would do it
Fair
you shouldnt mind though, the devs in their wisdom have made it abundantly clear that they dont even want players communicating with anything except the pointer
apparently people talking turns into "micro managing" lol, brain dead logic i know but there you go
The EPC shot was static there, spinning and making noise like hell lol
Anyone reported this recently?
I'm curious as to where you've heard that.
believe it was on a stream. something about how giving for example the scout an option for "platform here" i.e. communicating with the team would lead to micro managing
so just shut up and play the game in silence 🙂
so basically, the devs saying "I don't think specific ping would be very useful" equate to "talking is useless" to you ?
Alright then.
hi, is this where i can report bugs?
yes
thank you
oh, i can't seem to paste the screenshot for the bug
oh wait, the report-a-bug is different, nvm
get a role in #welcome-and-rules, then you'll be able to post screenshots
ah thank you again
i couldn't find how to get a role, so I just reported it through Jira. this was a little frustrating
ah found it, i'm stupid
I don't know if anyone else experienced this, but basically the pod connector won't connect to the structure no matter where I placed it, so the hacking event won't start
Your pod may be connected to a pod in the back,try removing pre-last pod and see what happens in this case
For data deposit towers you need to connect to the antenna on top of it i think. Seems like it is covered by terrain 🙂
i tried shuffling around all the previous pods, but it still wouldn't activate
i never thought of that, i'm just used to it activating as soon as i get them close
After the last update my game was caped on 30 fps, and on missions it's between 10 to 20 fps, and i've done everything but it's still like that, i don't know if it's a bug but does anyone know how to fix it?
you're not alone, people have been complaining about poor performance since U35 dropped
¿Any news of the nextpatch fix? I really want to play Deep Rock Galactic with good performance
when it's ready
As for poor performance, there's always a vocal group that says performance is worse on their system after every update.
The difference now is there's a lot more people playing the game after season 1 released so it appears like the issue is more widespread.
There's a few things that need optimization like large frozen enemies shattering causing a massive increase in the frame to frame interval.
I'm sorry I love this game to bits but the way it handles lag is atrocious. Not a single person on the team, even the host, could enter the Drop Pod for the mission finale. We failed a 30 minute mission because of this
i wish i would actually just imagine the horrible performance, but something happened during the last two weeks
i've played a week after update 35, everything was fine, got some friends to buy the game during the current steam sale and now hordes have horrible fps drops all around
not exactly the best impression you can give to people who got the game after playing it on gamepass (with everything being mostly fine) for a while
A few observations I've had as a client today:
- Turrets' targeting is off. They don't shoot enemies on the ground (even in full sight considering I run Defender) or shoot them very rarely.
- Elimination missions: looks like normal enemy waves can spawn during Dreadnaught fights, that shouldn't happen.
Is there any way to recover the drill dozer fuel canisters when they vanish? Or do you have to restart the mission
you have to restart
Good to know ty
all of the mactera except the grabber seem to really like these kinds of spots near the drilldozer
they hover there still and do nothing until you hit them
hello :) I found out what's causing one of the "locked FPS" bugs!
For whatever reason, if you set your audio input source to the Steam Streaming Microphone, it locks your FPS to ~60-ish. It also seems to increase input lag severely as well.
Changing the mic to anything else (at least for me) seems to fix it!
I had a very specific one today. If a late-joining dwarf lands on the Ommoran, they go staight through inside the shell. Fortunately jumping seems to free the unfortunate miner
has anyone else noticed that the m1000 does not one shot grunts anymore?
ive played around with perkz and no matter what a charged shot does not do it anymore to the body

Armor breaking is a known issue
yep
Anyone else have a similar issue? Bought the Supporter DLC yesterday on the PC, but it will not show up on the PC version for some reason. It says I own it and it's installed. I reinstalled the game and it still didn't work. However I do see the items on the xbox version, but I only play on PC. I have no idea what to do about it.
all other DLC's I own do show up, I am only having issues with the supporter pack
that dlc is having issues and the devs are working on it
Oh thank you!!!

I just did a ebonite mutation and only enough for 16 points spawned and we needed 40. Does anyone know about this??
oh I had already done it 🤦♂️ Maybe a helping description on the mission terminal 😄
I got this game around a little over a month ago. I was playing it at ultra settings and getting a consistent 60fps. However over the past like 2 weeks my framerate has gotten worse ever single day to the point where I cant even do anything without dropping to 30fps even in the hub world. Ive updated drivers, windows, and direct x and still nothing has helped fixed it. reinstalling and verifying files dont work either. even lowering everything to low with the lowest resolution doesnt actually help with the framerate. I get the same framerates no matter what I do to the settings. No other game I play is being affected by this these framerate drops it is only deep rock. ive tried everything and nothing works
Cannot get push to talk to work. Mic works fine without push to talk, but no matter what button I bind it to it doesn't work. If I restart my game and try push to talk it works for about 2 seconds, lags the game, then stops working. Sometimes when I load into the menu base my mic is toggled always on until I press my push to talk button again, then it stops working as usual.
I set my Windows mic to be the same as in-games. I also disabled exclusive access from it.
anyone know what the dropship bug is about?
be more specific. what bug with it? not landing completely in the cave?
yes and it not coming at all

Hey folks, I reset my computer last night and just redownloaded DRG, threw the files into my common folder, and booted up. It started me in the tutorial, so I skipped and it showed I was Lv.1 again. I got my save file off the cloud, back to Lv. 28. But my Active Assignment is still the very long 101A: Objective: Conquer Hoxxes IV. All mission types and areas are available to me, I just can't cancel this assignement nor choose a new one.
Edit - I reloaded DRG a couple of times and it looks like it worked, no active assignment on startup.
did u try doing the assignment?
nah it was too long lolol
like seven missions
all good just needed to exit out of the game and reboot
xo
I think Persistent Plasma is broken, it didn't leave behind a damage area when a charged shot was fired
I'll do more tests to be sure
Yep, Full charged Shot and nothing
Wait now it does? It seems buggy
Okay so if you fire right after reaching full charge it doesn't work for some reason
oversight here, reduced cooldown on rockets is shown as a downside rather than an upside
How did you get -50 regen time when the base time is 40?
As far as I was able to observe so far, it doesn't leave a damage field if you hit terrain, only when you hit an enemy
That's strange... I didn't see anything about having to hit an enemy so i assumed it was buggy
It is buggy. It is supposed to leave plasma on terrain hit and used to do so
Ah
when getting kills with the new weapons, dwarves will occasionally say "conserve ammunition"
