xbox-and-windows-store

[obtuse fiber]

buy it once digitally and own it on both xbox and computer

[latent helm]

it doesnt matter much for me since i can just plug my kbm into the console, though i don't usually because i'm used to controller

[obtuse fiber]

WOW 1,000 dollars off a 3090ti thats alot off lol

true

i own both series x and computer since ive been doing 3D scans on my iphone and uploading them to my computer and making up future renders of projects

right now im helping a friend with a future render of what he wants his front yard to look like after tearing up his lawn

Lidar in ios is fun to mess around with after helping friends

[latent helm]

im probably still gonna run the series s at 720p because my eyes suck so bad that i don't even notice the difference

[obtuse fiber]

im using a 55 inch 4K QLED tv and im almost close up to it to notice the difference lol

[latent helm]

yeeesh

[obtuse fiber]

esp on dyson sphere program lol

[latent helm]

i got uh lemme see

yeah mines just a 1080p tv i dont remember the size but it's fairly small

[obtuse fiber]

we have a total of 6 tvs on my property and 1 is broken

5 tvs are 4K and 1 tv is 8K

[latent helm]

funny scaling my pc resolution down is noticeable but xbox it really isnt

guess it's the ui scaling

[obtuse fiber]

yeah xbox only has ui scaling in DRG

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/display-sound/change-tv-display-resolution

Your Xbox console supports the following resolutions. These resolutions are standard for HDTVs:
720p
1080p
1440p (you’ll only see this option if your TV supports 1440p)
4K UHD (you’ll only see this option if your TV supports 4K)
Your Xbox console should automatically select the setting that best matches your TV.

hey bjorn has series s been fixed fully or not yet

[latent helm]

tried to play a mission earlier but it was a 3/3 salvage and my game crashed but i did a 1/1 morkite mission and it ran whatever the 0% resolution scaling version of "fine" is

i don't think any of the xbox builds could be deemed "fully" fixed for a while

[hexed terrace]

No it has not been

Most of the big framerate stutters and issues i find are fron fire and disintigrartion effects

More so then prior to the x/s "optimisation" update

[obtuse fiber]

i think i get those on my computer but i hardly notice them

[latent helm]

so there's no stutters in the rig?

[hexed terrace]

There are sorta

The server browser dips to 30 to 40 fps i noticed when moving the cursor

But actually moving around the rig is fine and is what it is prior to that update

[latent helm]

so it'll be more of a sidegrade it sounds like

if the alternative is this "pc" then I'll take it

[hexed terrace]

...

Do you not know what a pc is?

Or did a joke fly over my head lol

[latent helm]

wait you probably run it at higher resolution than 720p

[hexed terrace]

Yes i run it at 1080

[latent helm]

joke, degrading my pc because it can't play anything more complex than terraria

[hexed terrace]

Ah my bad then

[latent helm]

if it doesnt stutter as much at 720p where i'll still be running it likely, then still upgrade

also no problem lol

[hexed terrace]

I just think its lame that the "optimization" update for the newer consoles did jack all

Not a very good look to advertise the game to say it now runs better when it does't

[obtuse fiber]

it would have been nice to include at least FSR 1.0/2.0 on consoles from xbox one to xbox series x

[latent helm]

yeah i'd be rather disappointed from what I've heard of it, but it'll be an upgrade for me either way

hopefully it does get actually optimized soon though

[hexed terrace]

I have my doubts honestly

[obtuse fiber]

FSR on OG xbox one yes please, https://www.tomshardware.com/news/xbox-gets-fsr-2-0

[hexed terrace]

And i'll probably just have to deal with the games framerate tanking like crazy more then it ever did before that dreadful update

Which has really been awful

[obtuse fiber]

Perhaps the most surprising announcement from the tweets is FSR 2.0 integration with Xbox One and its much older hardware compared to the Series X and S.

[hexed terrace]

What i want to know is the difference between the performance setting

[obtuse fiber]

FSR 2.0 on older hardware could help FPS a little more then 30 FPS on OG xbox one

[hexed terrace]

Cause even before that update it didnt change much

And it still doesnt

[obtuse fiber]

i keep mentioning that and i even made up a menu idea on that subject

@hexed terrace

theres alot of room to make that menu better

[hexed terrace]

Like serioursly theres no graphic or resolution changes when you choose performance mode

I can only think of like dynamic resolution

But i doubt thats only tied to performance mode

[obtuse fiber]

you could make a suggestion on website to improve graphics description

[hexed terrace]

I mean sure but will they ever do it?

I dunno lel

[obtuse fiber]

just depends on how much work they have to do like fix series version which is up on their list of fixing right away

[drifting glen]

guys my DRG just keeps saying "synchronicing data" and won't start

[grizzled cradle]

I’m sure they’re mainly focussing on S3 so I don’t have much hope we’ll see the stutters resolved until a month or so after release

[hexed terrace]

Same

[grizzled cradle]

Nearly rage quit yesterday because of them. So frustrating and so frequent

Turns Haz 5 into Haz 6

[obtuse fiber]

Season 3 releases roughly in about a month

One month 2 weeks really for us poor console/computer players

[obtuse fiber]

I wonder when they will leak on stream when insider will release

[night harbor]

Its really frustrating on Xbox, since then i basically dont play Haz5 anymore aside from Deep Dives, those stutters and freezes are awful.

[versed wren]

Xbox one can't handle the dwarves bro...

It begs for mercy in quick bursts.

Then life support kicks back on.

[magic pewter]

We won’t. Only Bjorn knows.

[obtuse fiber]

dang it i guess im going to have to either annoy him more or help fix more crashes then lol

[latent helm]

bump for this, sounds very frustrating and im not sure what would help

[tropic bone]

Why was I just pinged?

You pinged me?

Did my comment get deleted or somthin?

[celest schooner]

That’s a glitch some members of the server are getting.

Don’t worry, Loan was pinging a mod to kill a scammer

[obtuse fiber]

Is everyone ready for season 3 in roughly 1 month 2 weeks

[latent helm]

I would normally be very excited

[quasi kindle]

test

[drifting glen]

yeah, still doesn't work. here's a picture of it (it's in finnish but it says "synchronizing data")

if someone could help, I would appreciate it very much

[latent helm]

i havent run into that issue myself and I don't play much on windows store so sadly I'm not sure what would help
hopefully somebody has a solution though

[drifting glen]

yup, already tried reinstalling the game and restarting my PC, there seems to be no guide on the internet about fixing this

would be cool if some devs responded to this but apparently they won't

[rancid hornet]

Try going in and removing all the data the uninstall still leaves some folders behind to my knowledge , app data folders as well and restarting the pc after and before the uninstall/reinstall, I’d check your task manager see what’s running while it’s doing this too see if it’s actually doing anything

Idk those are random guesses after lookin at it for a few seconds

I’d check see if xbox app or deep rock both had an update

[obtuse fiber]

Try downloading revo uninstaller and removing drg that way to have it cleaned of all files

[obtuse fiber]

DRG is on sale right now nice

[quaint mirage]

I cannot join my friends games, it just loads infinitely and the join button doesnt even say the joining screen when I press it

anyone know a fix

[drifting glen]

didn't work 😛

probably something with my xbox account

have to save up money to buy the Steam version ig

[sharp breach]

thryre still working on it? great to hear but i would have rather just stayed on the xb1 version ebcause the game hardly looked any different and that version was locked at 60fps all the time instead of the series versions being like last gen version on last gen having frame apikes when people join and such

[obtuse fiber]

thats why @regal breach said they are bringing back insider version to test out future content/bugs in game and ive been telling people about it and releasing soonTM lol because he said bringing it back to see if its worth having it so thats why ive been telling friends about it so they can test it out and report bugs and glitches before it releases to GP, also fine print ||Bjorn is the best QA manager and needs to get a raise but only rasie a glass of beer lol||

[polar ridge]

how do you change the PTT Key on the XGP PC Verison?

[obtuse fiber]

You don’t that’s the neat thing

[polar ridge]

bruh

is there like a technical reason why, like was it originally hardcoded and the devs just cant be bothered to do like the 20 lines of code max needed to fix it?

[obtuse fiber]

Short version is developers seem to not wanna give Xbox/windows store versions features that have been basic in games since like early 2,000s it seems but I might be wrong

I’m not sure if steam version has that option or not

[polar ridge]

makes sense, sorta seems like the same reason theres no crossplay

[obtuse fiber]

Honestly here’s hoping when they restart insider builds they will try to add in features that are needed

[sharp breach]

What was their reason for no cross play again?

Also ping me in reply or I won't see it lol

[hexed terrace]

They dont have the time or resources yet

The game still uses peer to peer afterall

[sharp breach]

You don't need dedicated servers for cross platform play though

Just a way to get the accounts connected to eachother and a server pathway right

Ex. Making a ghost ship games account

And having that be mandatory for cross play

[obtuse fiber]

Just look into power wash simulator cross play between steam and Xbox. To make it truly cross play they would have to either dumb down steam cave generation or not support OG Xbox one and also they would have to redo steam networking and rewrite DRG. @sharp breach

[sharp breach]

Does pc really have more complex cave generation? Thought that was a myth @obtuse fiber

[obtuse fiber]

yes steam has bigger caves vs xbox/windows

[sharp breach]

Also yeah most games that get continuous updates will have to lose last gen eventually

Deep rock has questionable performance as is on last gen

[obtuse fiber]

not really microsoft is letting devs use FSR on both series and last gen consoles

[sharp breach]

I think they need to reduce the graphical quality of the xbox one version to increase longevity but then the last gen bums might quit because of it

[obtuse fiber]

Perhaps the most surprising announcement from the tweets is FSR 2.0 integration with Xbox One and its much older hardware compared to the Series X and S. @sharp breach

[sharp breach]

Yeah 7 year gap

[obtuse fiber]

last gen could survive longer if devs add that to older hardware

[sharp breach]

Last gen could survive longer if they change the textures and shaders a bit

Like the glacial strata could lose many reflections to gain performance

[obtuse fiber]

they need to add graphics options to reduce them like PC has those options

[sharp breach]

And for the enthusiast, and a fair amount of average players, performance is a higher priority than graphics

[obtuse fiber]

me personally i like 4K at 60FPS

[sharp breach]

My ideal would be 1440p 120 but rn I can only display 1080 60 so rip

[obtuse fiber]

if u want a game that taxes your specs then def dyson sphere is your game lol

[sharp breach]

I'm on series x so it hardly struggles on anything

Occasionally lags on deep rock and cyberpunk and that's it for all the games I have

[obtuse fiber]

it would be nice if games made for pc made it to xbox and require mouse and keyboard to play because id love to play dyson sphere on my series x but that game is only mouse and keyboard only

[obtuse fiber]

oh yeah cyberpunk 2077 where i get 60FPS on 4K with my naked character

[sharp breach]

I've been gaming on keyboard and mouse on xbox and having a good time for the most part

[sharp breach]

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but it's almost never actually 4k

Xbsx and xbss cyberpunk have dynamic resolution

[obtuse fiber]

maybe a little less since im using DLSS

im playing it on steam

[sharp breach]

Oh damn bro got the real gamer pc

[obtuse fiber]

yeah too much damn money spent on my gaming pc lol

[sharp breach]

Man I'd rather take 1080p 120fps than 4k 60 but that's just me

Don't wanna go back since I've been experiencing it for the past year on my midrange samsung phone

[obtuse fiber]

grand total after building it and replacing parts over the years ive spent a little over 5,000 dollars

[sharp breach]

Although it KILLS the battery on this lol

How do you aquire such funds

I need to know

[obtuse fiber]

i claim stupidity checks lol, no really im on disability and have hardly any bills to pay

also phones can make you money as well

[sharp breach]

Coin miners barely make shit tho

Unless you have like 15 phones

[obtuse fiber]

i think an app called easyshift still exists and can make u roughly between 4-20 dollars

[sharp breach]

How frequently

A day?

[obtuse fiber]

over 2 years i made 700 dollars depends on jobs around your area and how many people take them lol

roughly 10-100 dollars a day if nobody is taking jobs

[sharp breach]

Definitely gonna look into it then because I currently have no job

But that's not so bad when you're still in school yk

And I'm exploring options for when I'm done with school

[obtuse fiber]

i cant afford school lol 40k to learn what i already know lol

[sharp breach]

I dont mean college lol

[obtuse fiber]

i know im just saying after high school any school costs too much to learn lol

[sharp breach]

I am aware

Right now I'm looking into enlisting

Definitely some way to man up haha

[obtuse fiber]

i sent u a DM with link to app

[sharp breach]

Also holy shit I'm texting without the glasses on right now and I'm realizing how fucked my eyes are

If I look through only one eye, things are very different

[obtuse fiber]

WOW they expanded into the UK now lol

[sharp breach]

My right eye in comparison to my left makes things look farther away and also sees more blue light

That is not normal

[obtuse fiber]

nope my eyes are so bad with my medical problem its not even funny

[sharp breach]

Not anything new but seemingly really bad rn

I've been wearing glasses since before I was 5 years old

[obtuse fiber]

i have optic nerve Drusen, ive been wearing glasses since 3 years old

[sharp breach]

Average glasses wearer

[obtuse fiber]

we better stop talking we dont want tater to dunce us since we are not talking about DRG lol

[sharp breach]

Right

Well back to drg

[obtuse fiber]

i should get on DRG now myself even though im bored waiting for season 3 lol

[sharp breach]

Looking into buying a better display so dm if you have any ideas because I wanna rock and stone in pretty colors and 120hz+

I'm tier 340 in the pass dude dw

The burnout is getting real

But I'm so close to getting all the cosmetic overclocks I keep making myself play every week

[obtuse fiber]

i ||cheated|| my pass since i have other passes/games that need leveled up lol

[sharp breach]

Not a real deep rock miner smh

The pass can be finished in like a month if you play daily and the game gives you like 7

[obtuse fiber]

i have 2 other games to level up my pass like call of duty and rogue company

im on DRG now if u find a custom game server its me lol

[sharp breach]

Bruh

I can't tolerate pvp games anymore idk

Played cold war for the first time in months today, remembered why I hated the multi-player, and then played two games of zombies where I died on round 59 and 53

Drg is just the perfect kind of game for me

It's always the pve fps games for me idk why those

But like, cod zombies, borderlands, drg, left 4 dead, r6 extraction, and some other stuff I'm forgetting about rn

Drg is the game that has the most of my time though because of its much larger amount of replayability in comparison to most of the listed game series

[obtuse fiber]

im going to preorder dead island 2 when it gets closer to the date @sharp breach

[sharp breach]

I haven't seen anything about it and don't know anything abt dead island

[obtuse fiber]

Dead island 2 takes place in LA and yes i know the name means nothing since its not on an island this time lol

[sharp breach]

Isn't it a zombies game

[obtuse fiber]

Yeah

[sharp breach]

Similar to dying light?

[obtuse fiber]

I’ve never played that game

[magic pewter]

Dying Light is considered a spiritual successor with more story focus. They share a lot of similarities, but I think Techland lost the license to their publisher, so DI2 is made by someone else, while they’re doing Dying Light instead.

[sharp breach]

Alright then, I see.

[obsidian elm]

adding covid to the game i see

has it been confirmed how long the delay between the steam and xbox updates will be

i know its generally 1-2 weeks

[grizzled cradle]

No confirmation yet. Don’t see why it won’t just be 2 weeks again tho

[obsidian elm]

its only been 1 week before

i think it just depends

on the update and xbox cirt

cant wait for the 99 thousand covid jokes though

"the plague isnt real and made up by management"

[grizzled cradle]

Is it possible for someone to have cheats activated when they’re not hosting?

Never saw this random engi dip below 4 bars of ammo

And never saw him resup

Either just a coincidental timing thing or it’s sus

[gilded niche]

if I own the base edition and I want to upgrade to deluxe/supporter, do I have to pay full price as if I'm buying an entirely new game, or is there a way to have the bundle discounted since I already own the base game?

[glossy echo]

I seen some kind of tools? Or weapon?

[obtuse fiber]

Honestly with cheats anything is possible

Here’s hoping season 3 releases with no hiccups unlike season 2 because I base my DLC buying off how well a game is stable to buy DLC along with how well DLC looks

So far season 3 DLC already has 50% covered for looks now we just have to wait for the other 50% to see if it’s stable and then DRG can shut up and take my money lol

[tropic bone]

Same reason I didn't buy season 1 or season 2 dlc...

[obtuse fiber]

I think I bought season 1 but not season 2

Season 2 didn’t look good and was crashing for at least a month while bjorn and me were trying to fix it

[tropic bone]

I'm honestly surprised they haven't made a series x version of drg that is free if you bought the regular version but is more optimized for the x/s

[obtuse fiber]

They need to make a series X/S exclusive headwear

[tropic bone]

I mean microsoft did it with minecraft. If you had like 1 day played and owned 360 version you got xbox 1 version free, same with xbox 1 version to the new bedrock version...

[obtuse fiber]

Only for series X/S users and windows players

[ruby fjord]

Can i play drg in 4k on xbox series x?

[obtuse fiber]

as long as you have updated the game to support series version and have a 4K tv that has a HDMI cable that supports 4K at either 60FPS or 120 FPS

well back to figuring out how i got a computer case that supports RTX 4000 series cards from years ago when i had my PC built lol

[ruby fjord]

Alr cool

[obtuse fiber]

well looks like if next gen RTX 5000 series becomes longer then im stuck at 4000 series with my current case

[rotund dagger]

The RTX 5000-series are going to be so big you can't even fit them in Molly

[tropic bone]

Someone tried to troll the mission and had to use resupplies to fix this mess ;-;

[astral thicket]

so got a question, I currently own DRG on Steam, would love to move to Xbox, would I be able to purchase via the Xbox app on my PC, transfer whatever files for my characters from the necessary steam directory, and then they will be accessible if I play the game on my Xbox series X?

ive tried googling it and it SOUNDS like that would be possible, but the few answers ive found have been vague/"I think so but not sure how" or simply "guides" that explain how DRG is cross-play between PC and Xbox and cross progression between Xbox One and Seriex X/S and PS4/PS5

[rotund dagger]

There is info in the Pinned Messages in this channel that explains how to do that. It's an unofficial feature, and some users have reported it not seeming to not be working lately, but what you're asking definitely did work (and should still work...)

[celest schooner]

StoicMako MVP

[astral thicket]

thanks for that info, so that should also mean i wont have any need to purchase any of the cosmetic packs again either right? or will copying the character files only transfer levels/unlocks but since the packs are actually purchased they arent tracked that way?

[rotund dagger]

DLC are separate licenses, so if you've bought the DLC on Steam you only have access to them on Steam. You won't be able to apply the DLC cosmetics when playing on Xbox as the Xbox version only makes the cosmetics selectable when you have a valid license on Xbox

[unreal radish]

DLC is store specific. Progress in the game is tied to the save.

[astral thicket]

k yeah when i was like halfway through typing that i kinda figured the DLC was store specific but at the same time, tossing the devs a bit more money to get the cosmetic packs again isnt as big of a deal as my concern over all 4 lvl 25 dwarves lol

[tropic bone]

Any dlc skins you have applied might be kept (from what I've been told) but you won't be able to apply the dlc skins on xbox after you transfer.

[rotund dagger]

As I said earlier, the transferring of progress is an unofficial feature. It's more of a byproduct of the save files being not different than it is a fully implemented functionality

[obtuse fiber]

The developers are making a save file transfer program that costs 15 bucks to buy. ||Just kidding||

[tawdry nimbus]

Wasn’t the series s getting a fix to the FPS being not good

[hexed terrace]

Yes but it still hasn't been fixed yet, probs not until season 3 i'd assume

[obtuse fiber]

season 3 will be when its fixed since its a little under a month for release

also keep checking on insider app to see when DRG insider is released to help test out future releases so stuff like game crashes low FPS and other weird stuff can get reported and fixed before full release

[regal breach]

new build is making its way live, it should allow people with performance issues to tweaks their settings, so work as well as it did before

nibbles, bad news - there is a 95% chance we dont have time to do a insider 😦 we are looking at other options atm

[brittle frost]

Omfg its amazing!

[regal breach]

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-borat-very-nice-gif-24526604

the legendary double thumps-up

[brittle frost]

I can feel it waaay over here, all over me. Seriously though, game has been goodened up nicely! On series S.

[regal breach]

so it works good for you now?

[obtuse fiber]

Is one of the options just post insider builds on GSG website for tech savvy users to test out builds

[regal breach]

@obtuse fiber nop, thats deff not an option

[obtuse fiber]

Ok the option is no insider/beta but everyone on Xbox/windows gets exclusive headwear lol

[regal breach]

this conversation is over 🙂

[obtuse fiber]

I see you guys borrowed my idea for graphics settings definition nice better use of screen I love it

So far that’s the best part of this hot fix for me on series X patch testing lol

Manual mode at 30% is really bad looking aka pixelated lol Minecraft DRG lol

Option is have 2 save files instead of one to start a fresh save while keeping main save lol

Dumb question why does Xbox have features not added that are easy to add like toggle scanner/map like windows build

Added some event shouts?????????

[brittle frost]

I just got out of a game! Initial impression, especially for fidelity: Damn everything just pops more! Sub 60fps, but more in line of expectations.

[obtuse fiber]

I wish developers would release update same day as steam and they could push out emergency updates unless Microsoft has a cap on how many emergency updates can be made in a year lol jk

[brittle frost]

I tried a Aquarite mission, solid 60fps, 120fps kept having simillar dips. Much less lag. and effects just popped more. Feels smoother. Still get weird input lag when mouse over rig, and game gets sluggish when lights mix (green/blue stones) or flares in corners. Seem like xbox struggles with light that overlays?

I think there is lag that comes from transparency/overlays or alpha. Fire effects and such donr cause dips, its specific to rig, flares and Aquarqs, especially when enabling Berzerker or lights mixing.

Im happy with the update! A lot of issues has been solved for me at least.

[obtuse fiber]

Casually thinking what the other options could be lol

[brittle frost]

External GPU? 😂

I guess a potato mode would be awesome, but dunno if MS would agree with that 😄

[tropic bone]

Which Manual resolution scale would be equal to pre sx update series s performance mode?

[zenith flume]

There's no way to move my steam file to a windows store/xbox version of the game right? I have to start over?

[unreal radish]

pinned messages

[zenith flume]

Oh alright checking. Ty

[sharp breach]

@brittle frost so what was the update anyways

[unreal radish]

#patch-notes-xbox_winstore

[brittle frost]

Graphics and performance! Ots a buffet of eye candy!

What I find strange is that fidelity mode is completely different from what it was. Smoke is nicer, reflections etc.

Doesnt say that in notes. I basically really like this update.

[grizzled cradle]

Damn

I’m excited to try it

[night harbor]

On Xbox or Pc ?

[regal breach]

xbox, PC has the pc graphics settings

[celest schooner]

Bjorn a good dev

[obtuse fiber]

I figured it out instead of insider versions they are going to support mods lol jk

[brittle frost]

Series S to be specific!

So. Raytracing, 4K 120hz on Xbox, when?

[regal breach]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-homer-simpson-bush-hide-bye-gif-16150806

[tropic bone]

Seems like I have a bug, or performance graphics settings didn't get a description

[regal breach]

yep, small bug we need to fix

[night harbor]

I also noticed it now when big glyphids do their stomp attack, nice details

[latent helm]

Can't wait to see the update when I get my hands on a series s

[brittle frost]

Right? It feels nicer somehow. Smoke as well.. I love this game so goddamn much

[grizzled cradle]

It defo looks better

Yet to experience any stutters, but I am hosting. So could still be there

[sharp breach]

W for console gaming

Getting graphics settings adds to the longevity of the game on last gen too

[sharp breach]

Series X would struggle with that so it'd never happen on series s lol it's gpu equivalent is 5 years old

Series S is good for non graphically intense games

Drg can be fairly taxing on decent hardware

Like you see the guys complaining that it lags their pc when people use volatile impact reactor or with some frozen particles

[obtuse fiber]

Series X before this patch I hooked up my Xbox to my brothers 8K tv and be bouncing between 80-110 FPS

[sharp breach]

Just because the TV is 8k doesn't mean the xbox is outputting 8k

Pretty sure it was using dynamic resolution anyways so it would be closer to 1440p than the 2160p of 4k probably

[obtuse fiber]

series x can handle 8K but tv input display read out 2160p 120 FPS

[sharp breach]

It can handle 8k video output but not gameplay

From my knowledge

[obtuse fiber]

Xbox Series X already supports 8K, so it's more a question of when they will update their systems to unlock the feature.

[sharp breach]

Who would be updating "their" systems? MS or game companies?

[obtuse fiber]

right now both microsoft to unlock texture power APIs and game devs making 8K textures

[sharp breach]

I don't think the xbox is powerful enough

And either way I'm not gonna have an 8k display maybe ever so I'm not really in the realm of caring

[obtuse fiber]

you said series x would struggle with 120fps and i was just saying that series x is powerful enough to handle that plus ray tracing

[sharp breach]

I mean 8k 120

Series S can do 120fps on some games

[obtuse fiber]

right here what you said #xbox-and-windows-store message and i said series x can handle 120fps but devs need to better code game to handle hardware

[sharp breach]

Series X does struggle at 4k 120

[brittle frost]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-simpsons-ned-flanders-christ-is-watching-gif-5640281

[sharp breach]

I dont think you can play any games like that

It's usually dynamic res at 120fps or 4k 60 attempt

Doom eternal is a good example here because you can do 4k 60, 1080p 60 with raytracing or 120fps 1080p

Iirc

[brittle frost]

Are you implying superior MS technology is not up for the task? Pretty sure its been proven that Series S is basically a gaming PC with less ram.

Just slightly less good.

[obtuse fiber]

also i tested out series x minecraft with RTX when they released that by mistake and it was nice until they said my bad and removed it lol

[brittle frost]

So that worked ob series X? Thats pretty cool actually!

Ran like ass on 3060

[sharp breach]

Series S is like a higher end 2017 gaming pc

[obtuse fiber]

they released some things early that i tested out and was fun, spectator mode was fun and its getting better over time

heck spectator mode in DRG is fun too, Dont ask how i got that lol

right now i can give other players that mode as well lol

[brittle frost]

.. I like spectator mode

[obtuse fiber]

i wish they made that work in survival mode like in java with no penalty

[brittle frost]

Oh you meant minecraft!

[obtuse fiber]

yeah and i can give spectator mode in DRG as well

but its picky as heck lol

[brittle frost]

I wanted to follow around Scout and see wtf he does all game. Still have not figured out what that class does a part from intercepting fatboys

[obtuse fiber]

testing now since game got updated

i might not have a real job but helping game companies fix crashes is one job and helping creators with testing out cheat trainers pays well also

[brittle frost]

Amen!

[obtuse fiber]

doing second job now on DRG to make about 60 bucks for about 15-20 mins of "work" lol

making game private so no one joins me lol

@brittle frost sorry i couldnt get rid of gun but nice wallpaper lol

spectator mode lol

[sharp breach]

!?!?!?

[sharp breach]

Just got on and it's only a resolution scale option bar

Was expecting a little more

[sharp breach]

Like getting to choose a specific target resolution or maybe shader options too

The reflections and shaders are quite different though

Would 100% be 4k?

[grizzled cradle]

I’m confused

Has this update upgraded the graphics?

Or is this all just placebo coz the games running better?

[tropic bone]

Not really

[sharp breach]

Definitely not placebo, the graphics have been improved

Seems like only stuff that has to do with lighting but the change is quite significant

I can see the reflection of the ammo counter screen thing on my m1000

On the gun itself

And that's definitely a new thing

@grizzled cradle

The game is definitely looking better

And that was at 60% on the resolution scale and it looks completely fine on my display

Good shit

[grizzled cradle]

Nice I’m not going crazy then

Game looks great

[sharp breach]

I agree

[grizzled cradle]

The memorial room looks so slick now

[sharp breach]

❤️

[grizzled cradle]

Have you had any stutters?

I played like 10 hosted games and only got stutters during dwarves joining, which i don’t mind

Coz it’s predictable and clearly just a network thing

[sharp breach]

When people join yes and I think one in game

As not host

So idk maybe wifi shit spike

I did see the fps drop a tiny bit when I was at 70% resolution scale with a lot of shit happening in game

[obtuse fiber]

I kinda hope season 3 doesn’t work since I can’t afford DLC based on my buying method

I base my dlc buying on how good dlc looks and if game is stable and since next month I have to spend 300 bucks on my gazelle e-bike I won’t be able to afford DLC

[hexed terrace]

So for some reason my gamma settings dont save when i exit the game

Weird, i have the same issue on mcc

[obtuse fiber]

also i forgot to ask is season 3 adding the last 2 achievements or adding them and new ones

[tawdry nimbus]

The performance is pretty good but the disintegrate animation when enemies are killed by fire still tanks FPS

[grizzled cradle]

Still getting stutters when not hosting

But damn the game looks so good now

Magma and REZ in particular look so wildly different

[drowsy palm]

Game looks amazing. Not sure what they did but it’s definitely not placebo.

[night harbor]

Do you have stutters when swarms spawn on xbox ?

I still have some but not as frequent as before

Also short freeze when someone joins and im not the host

And when dreadnaughts health bars appear there is still a short freeze

[grizzled cradle]

Yes to all three

I’m still getting the random stutters

That I can’t recognise any trigger for

Which are the real problem

I can live with predictable stutters at times that I can work around, eg dwarf dropping in, dread spawning

But it’s the seemingly random mid swarm ones that suck

[night harbor]

Yeah its sometimes directly occuring to a swarm spawning, but i also got huge swarms spawning without any stutters

Its like its happening with certain bugs spawning

But the good thing is its happening way less now

[sharp breach]

@grizzled cradle i didnt really notice any random drops when i was running the game at 60% resolution and to me the game still looks just as good as it is on 100 because most screens cant even displaya the game at full resolution anyways

so try that if you haven't already

[light niche]

60% res helps me a lot

[golden grove]

Hi, since today I can't open the game, it just shows a black screen, I've seen many fixes on steam but I play the game on gamepass and I can't find anything that works

[tropic bone]

So updates for the game usually come out on xbox after about a week on steam, right?

[mental lily]

has anyone else been having issues launching w the xbox launcher

i just click play and it shows the launching thingy and then nothing happens

[magic pewter]

1-2 weeks. Two weeks this time.

[cosmic stirrup]

I had un update yesterday but it kept giving me errors, until I realised I has a windows update to do and then it worked no issues ^^

[tropic bone]

hello good morning I have a problem when I started Deep rock Galatic it doesn't show me the progress I had it takes me back to the beginning or shows me a very low progress the last thing I did on 08.10.22 was to level up and today I found my progress erased what could it be could you please help me?

[tropic bone]

thank you very much I have found the solution have a great day

[runic sapphire]

[wise hound]

blaaah

[mental lily]

thanks

[light niche]

Are people still having the controller disconnect mid game issue? I’m on a wireless controller and it happens not as often but still is happening during most missions when swarms and etc happen.

The controller doesn’t really turn off but I can’t control anything in game without removing the batteries.

[echo relic]

I moved to playing with a wired controller to avoid the issue. Been a while since I checked if things got fixed. If you are using a wireless controller with headset it tended to happen quite a bit. Could still use wireless controller but had to remove headset to stop the controller disconnect issue.

[light niche]

I figured as much, I don’t mind purchasing one so I might do it to avoid this. Thanks!

[vestal breach]

is a fix for the stuttering on xbox in the works?

[hexed terrace]

off host it still stutters like a mother fucker

and I dunno why but the games framerate is still worse, thankfully chucking down the resolution to 30% makes it run like it did before all of these updates

[light niche]

Update: Got a wired controller and haven’t had any issues

Thanks!

[obtuse fiber]

whats funny is im using wireless controller and had no problems at all on windows build so RIP xbox build

[light niche]

It’s probably just a small issue, but im having smooth gameplay with this wired controller so idk what’s up with wireless. Or whatever. Regardless I got it fixed

[obtuse fiber]

also dont forget to update xbox controllers firmware

[analog prawn]

Why i get framedrops? 😦 Im playing in a series S

[night harbor]

On Pc you also get stutters ?

[hexed terrace]

I'm on xbox, so i got no clue how pc is going

Probably fairing better lol

[brittle frost]

Performance mode on xbox Series Sdoes not work well in MP. I dont think the hardware on Series S can handle the reflections and light. I also note that there is still weird slowdown with "pointer" in terminals. Singleplayer works well, but in MP fps drops quite often. Also weird issues in Glacial strata, especially with the frost vents. It feels more stable and prettier overall, but more fps hit as result. If I got one wish right now it would be a "potato option". Please see pic. Got stutters during this. No enemies, just waiting for batteries to drop during Mule missipn. FPS fluctuated between 40 and 60 on 60hz performance.

[regal breach]

Try manuel

[light niche]

Try Manuel between 30-60%

I haven’t had any issues besides minor stutters when looking at certain things in missions

And I don’t even drop below 100 fps

[obtuse fiber]

Also try changing screen resolution from Xbox

[light niche]

Like in settings?

[obtuse fiber]

Xbox settings

[light niche]

Gotcha

[obtuse fiber]

When I hooked up my series X to my brothers tv. I could change screen resolution from 720p all the way to 8K

In the Settings menu, follow General > TV & Display Options to see the output settings. The first setting to adjust is your output resolution

[night harbor]

How can you set resolution to 30% on Xbox ?

For me its greyed out and dynamic only

[hexed terrace]

The manual setting

[obtuse fiber]

Performance fidelity and manual settings

[obtuse fiber]

I wonder how hard it is for GSG and coffee stain to work together and add a new playable character to satisfactory

[tropic bone]

Manual still drops

Sad this is happening. literally got to rank 400 on series S reason being I liked the game and how smooth it ran on Xbox (also it had mouse support) So many frame drops now after SX “upgrade” and the following patches

Fps was never dropping on haz 5 wave spawns before any of these updates

Just throw out also that brightness and performance settings reset on launch every time, and that menus seem to cause lag/res issue. Cursor speed is also slow now, and isn’t affected by sensitivity

Just sad cos this was the go to game for me and my buddies and it’s just not worth it now on Series S

[hexed terrace]

^

Menu frame drops seem to occur on the server browser when your looking at the map terminal i've noticed

No idea why the gamma resets every time you exit and relaunch the game either

I know lowering the resolution manually is a good temp fix and i've been doing that but i hope its not gonna stay like this lol

[tropic bone]

Lowering anything past 50 looks completely potato also

and 50 still drops frames

Better fix would be straight up returning series S to pre “upgrade” state

[night harbor]

I cant set anything besides the graphics modes themselve

Am i missing anything ? 😂

[obtuse fiber]

Where performance mode is that’s where you change to Manuel

[night harbor]

Yeah ive done that

But i cant click on resolution

Its always on dynamic on all modes and greyed out

[night harbor]

Thats since the 8th September update, i also wish they would just reverse it

I dont have this option wtf 😳

On Series X ?

Maybe its bugged

[obtuse fiber]

Is ur game up to date

[night harbor]

Yes of course

[obtuse fiber]

Yeah that’s weird the developers better look into it

Bjorn can look into it

[night harbor]

Description is also not right

[obtuse fiber]

I’m afraid to ping him maybe u can lol

jk

[fresh crow]

Do you have v-synch on your screen? Also does the descriptions show up if you exit the ESC menu and then go in again?

[night harbor]

You mean VRR ?

[fresh crow]

Do you have v-sync on your screen? because if you don't then you should not run manual.

[fresh crow]

Yup

[night harbor]

Yes its active

But manual says you should run it if vrr is active ? Or am i wrong ?

[night harbor]

Btw if i have you here, is the dev team aware of the fps drops on Series S/X ?

[fresh crow]

Do you have it activated on the console as well - in the videomodes setting? - Also what frame drops - if you are talking about the freezes when someone joins, dreadnought appears - then yes - that is an overall issue.

[night harbor]

I have sent a few clips in here where spawning swarms cause fps drops

[fresh crow]

@tropic bone If you do not have VRR then you should choose performance mode - that should give the smoothest experience.

[tropic bone]

yeah performance mode is even worse now

[night harbor]

Not only the freezes from joining people and dreadnaughts spawning

[fresh crow]

Worse in regards to frame drops or how it looks?

[night harbor]

I have sooo many clips created everytime i get those

[tropic bone]

Framerate

[obtuse fiber]

Honestly I think we all in here want stable FPS. Like rogue company has a stable FPS of 150 on my computer and never moves up or down

Honestly I’m getting tired of fps going crazy on computer and it only happens with DRG

[tropic bone]

If you guys aren’t able to replicate the frame drops on your Xbox in studio idk what to say

[obtuse fiber]

At least before series upgrade game was stable 59-60 FPS

[night harbor]

Its framedrops regarded to spawning enemies or heavy effects like bulk detonating sometimes

[tropic bone]

It’s just in general after all “upgrade” patches, series s is a 40-60fps stuttery mess

Mostly wave spawns

[obtuse fiber]

I know they have developers Xbox model but I’m not sure about retail Xbox model

[tropic bone]

Random stuff too though, particles, fire

[tropic bone]

All I can say in regards to whether it is just certain peoples consoles is— I was playing drg 60fps just minutes before the sx upgrade came out.

And as soon as I installed the update the game was terrible performance

Each following patch hasn’t fixed the issue, and now the only option we have is to lower the resolution

[obtuse fiber]

Honestly if anybody needs me to hop on drg I can

I might not be much help but I can try

[fresh crow]

Hard to see the frame rate counter in the clip - but to me it looks like it flickers to 59 a tiny bit at times but otherwise is steady 60? is that correct?

[obtuse fiber]

I’ve noticed that when I played series X FPS jumps between 45-60FPS especially when flares shoot out cough scout cough lol

Lighting and particles need some optimizations

[night harbor]

You didnt notice the frame drop ?

Here again so you see it

[fresh crow]

Ah I saw them there - those are not xbox specific. Those are unfortunately in all of drg.

[night harbor]

Its like this since the S/X update from 8th September

But i have adjusted to it 😂😂

So honestly i dont care if you can fix it or not i love the game too much

[tropic bone]

the Xbox version ran 60 fps before update

Series S and Series X

[fresh crow]

What resolution are you running on? - The xbox one version has a resolution cap at 1080, regardless of what your screen could do.

[obtuse fiber]

In short everyone plays all games at 60FPS but drg is the only game that has fps not capped at 60FPS

Even on my series X I get 45-60 FPS

I’m running my game at 4K 60hz

[tropic bone]

This is in reference to fps

I’m still 1080p but the upgrade update ruined fps

And the fix that was put out is the manual res

Which makes the game look terrible and still doesn’t fix performance

[fresh crow]

In general - if you are now running at a resolution higher than 1080 or are running 120 hz - then you can't compare it to the xbox one version - the xbox one version is capped at 1080/60 (regardless of what your screen could do)

[obtuse fiber]

To me the Xbox one version had extra hardware capability to be stable at 60FPS but once series upgrade came out game is trying to use too much hardware

[tropic bone]

I’m not on Xbox one

My setup is still 1080p 60hz on a series S. the only thing that changed was the game update

Which trashed performance

[fresh crow]

No but before the xbox s|S version your console was running the xbox one version. If your screen has VRR - you should set it to manual and 50% that should make it run smoother (important note - the screens vrr will overwrite the console setting, so whether or not you have it enabled in the console does not matter)

[fresh crow]

Your answer right there - you are running 4k - you weren't before.

[tropic bone]

Initially after the SX upgrade you guys said that nothing had changed in the game except the framerate was uncapped to 120

[obtuse fiber]

My Xbox was always set at 4k even before series update

[obtuse fiber]

Not true

[tropic bone]

So that was the big confusion as to what was affecting performance

Now you’re saying that we are running a 4K game on series S

[obtuse fiber]

News wire from Xbox said it could handle larger enemies and cave gen

[tropic bone]

So no wonder the game runs terrible now I guess?

Lol I wish you guys just said that straight up instead of asking us all for our specs

[night harbor]

On Series X it was always 4k i think

[fresh crow]

You can only run 4k if you have a screen for it and your console is set to it

[night harbor]

Or atleast something close to it

The graphics havent changed much since the S/X update, i could only tell a difference because hdr was removed

[fresh crow]

No - you can set it in your console settings. Series S has "4 k" / upscaled and Series X has true 4k - but only if you have a screen that can run that and your console is set to it.

[obtuse fiber]

RIP dwarf joined fps dipped to 25

[night harbor]

Just asking because i dont know, does the dev team have all consoles to test the game on it ?

[obtuse fiber]

Damn swarm came and dipped fps to about 50

[tropic bone]

That didn’t happen though

[fresh crow]

Yess - We have Series S and X and One and One S - Retail and Dev.

[night harbor]

Have you actually tested if you also get those frame drops sometimes ?

[obtuse fiber]

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2022/09/09/deep-rock-galactic-is-now-optimized-for-xbox-series-xs/amp/

[night harbor]

That would be interesting

I mean even in performance mode you get them, which can normally set resolution down to keep it stable

[obtuse fiber]

We love these new consoles because they make the game shine, and the updated hardware makes it much easier for us to handle cave generation and larger numbers of enemies

[tropic bone]

That doesn’t mean they changed the cave gen

[fresh crow]

The framedrops that you showed videos of - Yes - They are not xbox specific they are in all versions of the game. Frame drops 10> is not a high priority as they are basically unnoticeable if you turn the counter off.
That said - we are always trying to find ways to make the game run smoother.

[tropic bone]

The game drops around 30 on series S though

Which is extremely noticeable and not even playable on haz 5

[regal breach]

it runs at more. If there is a lot going on, the game will struggle eventually, thats just the nature of the hardware limits

[tropic bone]

Just so I understand, what did the SX upgrade do

The patch note says it added 120hz support

[regal breach]

haz 5, 4 players, lots of stuff going on WILL have framedrops, thats just how it is

[tropic bone]

I played 400 ranks without issues until SX upgrade

Haz 5s with multiple bulks during swarms etc

[obtuse fiber]

What are you smoking I’m on haz 5 and I’m getting 59-60 fps stable

[tropic bone]

I thought the devs couldn’t replicate the issues either?

So are there no issues?, or Is the hardware too weak?

and if it is just certain peoples consoles, why did I have 60fps minutes before the SX upgrade

[obtuse fiber]

So basically telling me getting fps of between 80-120 fps is no big deal

[night harbor]

I never had any framedrops anytime in months before the SX update, i played the game since april this year with 4 buddys mainly who also only started to have problems since the SX update

Just saying

[tropic bone]

Lol

[regal breach]

i feel we are in a unproductive conversation where a lot of different facts and issues are all mixed together, which makes its very diffcult to talk about

[obtuse fiber]

I’m just stating facts that u guys said about fps and it being more or less then 10 and I plugged my console into a tv that supports 120fps and getting 80-120fps is no big deal then

[tropic bone]

bruh

[obtuse fiber]

I’m just saying people wanna get what they pay for

[night harbor]

I know right, how can you say those frame drops are not noticable, look at the videos it almost freezes for a second

In Haz 5 thats death sometimes and it feels bad, even more in elite deep dive

[tropic bone]

That is what the frames are like for me sometimes, just kinda freezes

[obtuse fiber]

I love this from newswire. And if you don’t have a TV that supports 120hz, we have left in both Performance and Fidelity mode, so you can choose between prioritizing framerate or resolution.

[tropic bone]

It’s just the game ran so good before the supposed “upgrade”.

And then the devs simultaneously say that the performance was never as good as we say it was —— and that they can’t replicate the issues.

Makes no sense

[night harbor]

It would be cool to know whats the cause of this

[obtuse fiber]

Honestly if developers add FSR in drg it could help with fps

It did wonders on windows build

I was able to squeeze about 10-20 more fps

[fresh crow]

We are looking into stutters and small freezes - because as I said, it happens on all platforms. It can be difficult to profile though - as they often have different causes.

[obtuse fiber]

All while at 4K screen resolution

[tropic bone]

Lol

[obtuse fiber]

All I’m saying is FSR is a temporary solution

[tropic bone]

So we’re clear what did the SX upgrade actually change?

[night harbor]

You got a 120fps mode thats it

[tropic bone]

And are the series S >20 fps drops only happening to me and my friends?

[night harbor]

If playing on Series X 😂

[obtuse fiber]

From devs or from newswire article about upgrade

[fresh crow]

If you are going as low as 30 frames consistently in missions it would be nice to have some specific scenarios of when it happens; what mission, what hazard, solo/host - and what your settings are on your xbox video mode and screen.
We have tested a lot of standard scenarios and could not replicate - that does not mean that the issue isn't present in a scenario we haven't tested. - hence why we ask for specs and stuff -

[night harbor]

Its also happening to one of my buddys, result is he doesnt play the game anymore

[tropic bone]

I explained this like 8 times lol

With video evidence

[fresh crow]

Link it please - sorry but there's a lot of talk in these threads. stuff is easily overlooked.

[regal breach]

you also got the improvements to graphics (i cant explain the details), that we forgot to add to the SX version, but was added last patch

[night harbor]

The reflections and better effects overall ?

[regal breach]

i cant recall the details, ive been super busy with other stuff sorry

[night harbor]

I noticed that, very nice additions

[tropic bone]

I play series S 1080p 60hz Haz 5

Main issues people are having on series S with frame rate are high hazard wave spawns, and particles from fire. The framerate also suffers generally.

I don’t have vrr or hdr turned on

[fresh crow]

Also with the series x|s version game the ability to run at higher resolutions (if you have a screen that can do that and the xbox is settings is for it) though higher resolutions will have an influence on performance .

[fresh crow]

Okay - and you did not experience these drops at all before the series S|X update, right?

[tropic bone]

Solid 60fps

Played 400 ranks

Had 1 game maybe ever where someone messed with the driller sludge and crashed me lol

[fresh crow]

Good to know - Will do a comparison when there's some air in testing schedule. Since we have both versions. And look intro what could cause the difference 👍

[obtuse fiber]

Now how to get people to stop spamming flares in game to make fps go from 245 all the way down to about 20 fps lol

Maybe remove lights from game lol

So what about FPS on windows build that changes a lot more then Xbox version

Sure I have a powerful computer and fps going from 180fps to about 104fps in spacerig and worse in mission is not noticeable but people with less powerful computers can definitely notice fps going from about 80fps to about 45fps

Hell I have a surface book 2 that gets about 30 fps and lower with a GTX 1070 GPU

[night harbor]

So regarding my issue with manual mode, i will try turning vrr off and then look if i can change resolution

Thx for your time and work 😄

[fresh crow]

Try turning it off on both your screen and console - and then switch to performance mode. The settings on the xbox to change resolution and hz is under TV& display options - Settings for VRR is in there too under Video Modes

[tawdry nimbus]

If this is about the series s performance it isn’t that good as it was a month ago it’s kinda needs to be treated as a last gen for good performance

[night harbor]

Its not working

[bitter heath]

@rough quiver @iron topaz what platform are you playing on?

[rough quiver]

pc

[bitter heath]

windows store or steam?

i'll be guessing steam then

[bitter heath]

@plush heron @topaz sequoia it was impossible to do anything with my amount of lag

have to go now

been fun

[obtuse fiber]

@bitter heath #lfg-xbox-microsoft

[bitter heath]

👍

i'll think about that next time

[obtuse fiber]

thats there to help find people while this channel is here to help devs fix problems with current issues like FPS and other things

For players on Xbox / Windows 10 version of the game to chat about the game and report platform specific bugs and issues. See #lfg-xbox-microsoft if you are looking for someone to play with.

[fierce bobcat]

if i buy this game for windows what platforms will i be able to play with and which will I not be? (want to buy the game itself, not gamepass)

[rotund dagger]

If you buy DRG from the Microsoft Store on Windows, you will be able to play with anyone else who has the game from the Microsoft Store, Game Pass, and Xbox consoles

[lean rock]

what is this notification?

with the 'i' and the piece of paper

[untold agate]

I have it too

Pretty sure its just on there by default

[lean rock]

hmmmm

[tepid kindle]

I have a weird issue where I can't invite my friend to my game on xbox but he can invite me. any ideas?

[tepid kindle]

quitting the game and restarting it fixed it

[glossy echo]

Awesome to hear

[pliant cloak]

Theres no notification. Thats just the regular icon

[vestal breach]

anybody had an issue before with text chat not appearing or voice chat not coming through?

got someone in a game who is text chatting with someone but nothing else is coming through lol

[fiery solstice]

Will Deep Rock Galactic support mod for Xbox in the future?

[hexed terrace]

Probably not

[fiery solstice]

😭

[obtuse fiber]

Who knows they might since they said 95% that insider is not going to happen that they have other options to look into. lol jk

[brittle frost]

I so want to respond I'd love to try manuel.. But I wont. I have since tried manual, simillar stuttering that seems MP specific. Maybe reflections on Team members?

Been messing around and playing with full team will cause some serious stuttering. For series S it almost has to be on 30% manual to feel smooth and reliable. I used to have stable 120fps but now its more like a 80fps. Been noticing a lot of reflections and such also. Are there any plans for an actual performance mode where some effects are turned off, or is this a Microsoft enforced thing? Blink twice if you cant say. I am honestly surprised that reflections are enabled on Series S considering it's hardware. Also, sub-40% gives me eyestrain. Still love the game and appreciate your work and communication around this!

[obtuse fiber]

When will client invites be a thing

[amber zealot]

Bruh where do ghost ship games get off shipping two different versions for PC

I didn't know, so had to get the windows version to play with my friends. Now steam won't refund me cause I was happily playing solo for 6 hours 😠

[glossy echo]

Some how I have a annoying bug that the bolt shark has reload issues

Did anyone catch that?

[hexed terrace]

Dunno but i do know a bug with the special bolts

Usually the last arrow is a blank and doesn't work

[glossy echo]

I think your right

[regal breach]

@brittle frost we can do what we want. So you theory is that it is due to reflections or what?

[brittle frost]

My theory is its the hardware on Series S that is lacking. Does Series X manage 120fps at 1080p on glacial strata in MP? But sure, what if reflections cause 4x update loop to calculate reflections, which in turn stutters the server? Is any of my ramblings helpful btw?

[regal breach]

hard to say, again, we are testers, not xbox engineering experts so we need to figure all this shit out from guessing and trying stuff out

[brittle frost]

Its why Im into QA. Genuinly passionate about learning how games are patched. Its why im here. Just dont want to sound arrogant or "know it all".. Anywy, I used to play DRG on steam. I had a 1050GTX card. The reduction in performance on Series S reminds me of playing with max settings on a GTX1050. That card did not like shadows and postprocessing. I bet its the same for Series S. Series S would prolly run awesomely for games optimized for mobile plattforms. In my mind Peer to Peer is awesome for static information, but could cause some serious memory issues if multiple peers have updates to share with other peers. Example: My shot cause a reflection, which tells server, which tells peers. If server is Series S or just not very quick I'd imagine stutters. For me, the stutters happen with lighted objects that moves- flares, AQ, Rig and Machine murders FPS on especially Glacial Strata. With other players fighting its just completely FPS drop. My money is on that if I could remove dynamic lighting and reflections from other players the severe stutters would dissapear. I think memory issue because input lag. If also I could remove postprocessing I think FPS would jump 20-40fps on Series S. Question: Is there a reason why most games do not have Graphic settings for Xbox? Is it MS enforced? Blink twice if the sky is blue.

And as leighman I of course bunch up GPU ram with ram.

[obtuse fiber]

I’m hoping they add mod support I want the googly eyes mod lol

They still need to fix voice chat

[steel jungle]

Going to be playing with a friend who purchased the game on Xbox. He has the previous version of Xbox, not Series S or X. Is he going to potentially have performance issues?

I am playing on the Windows version on a gaming rig--the only issue I faced was when Razer Cortex was running. I exited Cortex and the game runs smoothly.

Cortex did not cause an issue with the Steam version (I own both)

Thanks for the replies, if anyone has any input

[obtuse fiber]

what model xbox one, xbox one, xbox one s or xbox one x

[steel jungle]

Um, I believe it's an Xbox One, nothing fancy

He regularly plays Sea of Thieves with me on it

I'm guessing probably not because that's where the game launched from and the newer consoles have been a buildout from the initial work done, but I could be wrong. We'll see how things go tonight.

But for future reference, Razer Cortex and the Windows store version do not mix well on my system.

[obtuse fiber]

if its the OG xbox one it should run about average right now only problem seems to be with series s right now

[steel jungle]

I have a series S and have to adjust the settings to performance or else it stutters like crazy

I think that's the setting (not fidelity or manual), dynamic?

[obtuse fiber]

all i know is that DRG is the only game i play that the FPS has blood pressure problems going high then low while eating bad food lol

the game i play thats stable for FPS is rogue company always at 150FPS

[steel jungle]

What console are you using?

[obtuse fiber]

Series X

DRG has FPS that goes high and low with a tv that supports 120fps

I tested it out on my brothers tv and was getting fps between 80-115fps

[tacit jetty]

All I know is that drg used to run at a stable 60 fps before the update

I was hoping they would just revert it but then Oktoberfest fest happened and I know that code is extremely finicky

[tacit jetty]

The thing that bothers me is that it used to handle 60 perfectly fine before

[obtuse fiber]

Is it just me or is GSG hiring more people then normal. Maybe for something special like cross play lol jk

Also hopefully soon a newer rudemop

[safe gorge]

Can I play with my ps account (deep rock account) on xbox?

[rotund dagger]

No, that is not possible. I doubt there will ever be a day when Sony and Microsoft decide to work together to allow for that to work, and DRG doesn't have servers to track accounts or save files, it relies on each platforms' isolated systems for accounts, save files, and matchmaking

[steel jungle]

I am getting textures flashing on PC windows

Like the exploding bugs are strobing almost--is there something I can do about this?

[obtuse fiber]

That is what I call DX12 discoloration bug

It makes some bugs look cooler lol

[pliant cloak]

@flat crest get back here

Im stuck at this screen https://prnt.sc/fW6ysR0sRnNR any solutions?

[magic pewter]

check if your firewall is trying to get access in the background.

[jolly lake]

nope my firewall is off

im useing xbox game pass btw

[obtuse fiber]

im sorry but what in the hell did the halloween event do to the game micro stutters are even worse now

micro stutters even with 245 FPS and dips down to 180FPS and stay there for a while and back up to 230 FPS

That’s with one dwarf and bosco

now i can even feel the micro stutters on windows build when swarms spawn in

also first time using wave cooker causes micro stutters

[obtuse fiber]

It looks like DX12 bug is happening on nvidia cards

[obtuse fiber]

is it like this

[obtuse fiber]

oh no i spotted an anomaly

[celest schooner]

Floaty box

[steel jungle]

Yes, especially with pumpkins

I repaired the files from within the Xbox launcher, seems to help

[obtuse fiber]

That doesn’t help for me lol

[steel jungle]

Hmm, I upgraded to Windows 11....

[pliant cloak]

Ya dun goof'd

[steel jungle]

Sorry man, I get it. Between not using Razer Cortex and occasional repair of the files, I'm not sure

[pliant cloak]

[steel jungle]

I mean, it loads faster than Windows 10

[pliant cloak]

And it also has more bugs than win10

[steel jungle]

DRG caves, I mean

[pliant cloak]

Gotted

[obtuse fiber]

Also if u install drg on a nvme drive game loads faster

vs windows 10

Windows 11 direct storage api is a lot better then windows 10s direct storage api

[jolly lake]

any help ?

If it was in English I might be able to help lol @jolly lake

[jolly lake]

its stuck on sign in screen

[obtuse fiber]

Try signing out in settings and start game and see what happens

[jolly lake]

here is the problem i didnt sign in game

[obtuse fiber]

That’s why sign in on windows and it should work

[jolly lake]

oh i get it :P

my english is weak

sorry

[obtuse fiber]

You should be signed in with same account that got the game

[chrome venture]

YO DID SNICKLE LEAVE THE SERVER

[celest schooner]

He’s still here!

[flat crest]

Who?

[celest schooner]

Snickle

[obtuse fiber]

what video card do u have

[flat crest]

that 100% answered my question, thanks

[steel jungle]

I've crashed like 3 times tonight, one with BSOD

Not sure how else to coddle this version of the game into working

Turned off cortex, repaired using xbox, turned off my overclocks--not sure what else to do

[unreal radish]

If you're getting a BSOD, you've got other problems that aren't the game.

[fiery solstice]

Does anyone use XSX or XSS? Does the screen freeze occasionally? Including someone parachuting into the game will also be stuck.

This phenomenon only occurs after XS optimization.

[steel jungle]

Could you elaborate? Might it be my overlock?

It's crashed other ways too, with the unreal engine failing without windows crashing

It seems to happen when I get close to walls--wondering if the framerate spikes

[unreal radish]

I'd start by

1. Reverting the OC to factory defaults, or in the event of a factory OC, resetting the card to nvidia/amd spec.
2. Reviewing the bsod code.

[steel jungle]

Thank you--so far, no crash this time around

[hexed terrace]

Happens alot of the time when swarm spawns or when players join

[brittle frost]

Ive had that happen as well! Its quite the spectacle!

[brittle frost]

Yep, devs are working on it from what I understand. Obviously Rival shenanigans at work here..

[steel jungle]

2070 Super

[steel jungle]

I'm also not sure if anyone else has experienced very quiet party chat when utilizing Xbox to PC groups using the Xbox App.

Regarding the crash last night, I recalled that MK 11 does not do well with overclocking on my rig, so it may be a game specific thing @unreal radish Thanks for your support last night. I'm not terribly tech savvy on the software side of things.

[obtuse fiber]

I’ve been noticing that the bug happens more on nvidia cards then AMD

[steel jungle]

Yeah, it's a bit of a mystery, honestly.

[winged charm]

Anyone else had issues on a Series X with the Boltshark lightning chain causing crashes?

[obtuse fiber]

i have series x but play mostly on PC ill try to reproduce the crash on my computer and analyze that crash

[winged charm]

Normally happens with between 3-5 bolt chain

[obtuse fiber]

i unloaded all 14 bolts and nothing happened so it happens on series only consoles

[winged charm]

Interaction with a glyphid of some kind tends to be the trigger point of crash

[obtuse fiber]

i tried close and far chains as well

ill try that as well

id try on my series x but i cant access crash dumps on console

[winged charm]

That’s the tricky bit

At least we know some wack mod conflicts aren’t involved

[obtuse fiber]

i tested it on spitballer acid glyphid and grants and no crashes

try this at ur own risk, By going to the Xbox System Settings menu and pressing the left bumper, right bumper, left trigger, right trigger buttons in sequence, a new developer menu shows up , allowing access to ‘Sandbox ID’, crash dump and debug options

It’s probably not something you should mess with though, because you could end up breaking your Xbox.

now people say that it says coming soon lol

sorry not much a normal person can do to help since i cant get it to crash on my computer to get a crash dump since Microsoft doesnt allow normal people crash dumps on xbox @winged charm

[winged charm]

It’s alright, thanks for the help man!

[obtuse fiber]

NP

[obtuse fiber]

if u go into privacy on xbox you should have an option to send data to microsoft/game devs about crashes

[vestal breach]

so i am guessing there is not an easy way to transfer an xbox save over to a steam deck?

[obtuse fiber]

Yes and no lol

1 way is use a computer other way is have windows installed on steam deck

[vestal breach]

would need to be the latter then

[obtuse fiber]

id love to join the devs on a live stream once i get my steam deck

[celest schooner]

Steamed Hams

[unreal radish]

well the steam deck does play the game well, however I have standards and would never subject such a device to the horrors of windows drivers.

[obtuse fiber]

So far I’ve read nothing beats the steam deck

[celest schooner]

Steamed Hams

[obtuse fiber]

nice fake mod

[celest schooner]

Where

[obtuse fiber]

you

nice from france game server name is Free XP god mode lol

What you talking about? I’m Tater

Nevermind, Tater made me back to normal.

My fun as Tater is over ಥ_ಥ

i might be saying bye bye to microsoft build once i get my steam deck

[obtuse fiber]

What’s a Skern Vergen

[steel jungle]

Hey, just an FYI for anyone crashing with Windows store. Last night I was crash free with no overlocks and both synapse and cortex off. May @unreal radish be proud of this decision.

[obtuse fiber]

I’m not crashing thanks to windbg preview

[steel jungle]

What is that?

Hmm, looks like something I wouldn't know how to use

[flat crest]

i’m back here

[obtuse fiber]

It analyzes crash dumps and helps find why it’s crashing so developers can easily fix the crashes

[tough mortar]

it wouldnt work cause it glitched inside

wish me luck defending hacker bot

it actually worked

[obtuse fiber]

november 17th for consoles

[tawdry nimbus]

Is the graphics settings resetting to default a bug

[steel jungle]

Fatal error and UEF4 crash--no razer stuff on, no overclocks--not sure what else to do

[steel jungle]

Testing my RAM to see if that's the issue

The only other thing I've read about is audio drivers, as I have Razer headphones. Any additional guidance would be helpful.

[spice torrent]

Hello everyone, I've just started playing this week and noticed there has been some discussion about the recent next gen patch for xbox series S causing performance issues. I'm definitely getting significant drops to 30 fps and it's essentially unplayable for me. Have the devs said anything about this? I know the series S can handle the game jjust fine because I can play it at a stable 60fps with everything on high (textures on ultra) with my (old) gaming laptop that is nowhere near as good as a series S

[grizzled cradle]

They’ve acknowledged it and have since added a manual mode slider to the resolution in one of the menu tabs. I’m not sure whether they’re working on anything beyond that, but try making use of it for now and see if it helps

[steel jungle]

Reinstalled Synapse, repaired DRG in Windows, restarted computer--no crash this session.

(Should I be putting these under bugs?)

[spice torrent]

Thanks! I'm OK for now, runs great on my laptop just eventually will want to switch back over to my xbox. I love that this game makes cross play so easy.

[obtuse fiber]

im almost always online so if u wanna send the crash dump file i could see what might be causing it

[grizzled cradle]

Love how this only late night EU Haz 5 lobby this week has been run by a guy running a cheated god mode thingy

[tacit jetty]

Fps bug fixed yet on series S?

[obtuse fiber]

to be fair only 12,800 people are using what i use but i only use mine for early access games are broken

that and when devs cant fix timers in game that really are impossible to beat cough just cause 4 cough

over on steam version theres over 200,000 people using it

[celest schooner]

I’m sorry to make our good mods read that.

[hardy loom]

how do i manually transfer my steam save files?

[rotund dagger]

There's info in the Pinned Messages in this channel

[hardy loom]

cheers mate

[dusk vapor]

How do you check how many hours you have on the game?(I’m on windows but installed it with the Xbox app) also how do you or can you mod Xbox drg?

[vestal breach]

screen on the left when you boot into the rig, where you purchase perks

there is a statistics screen

go down to mission time

if you want to check how long in general then go to the xbox app, go to where you see your achievements, check stats

[hallow briar]

to answer the second question, mods are not officially supported on xbox drg

[dusk vapor]

Ok thank you both

[obtuse fiber]

Im confused what happened here

[magic pewter]

Okay?

It’s probably because I’m using sarcasm.

[celest schooner]

Lol

[obtuse fiber]

Oh I thought you finally lost ur mind

[flat crest]

We do a little trolling

[obtuse fiber]

honestly i thought GSG had it bad for debugging but it looks like black ops cold war has memory corruption lol

[obtuse fiber]

This must be a HUGE update since I read its coming out 2 weeks after steam

[steel jungle]

I would like that. How do I locate where the crash dump is? I crashed yesterday and was still able to hand in my mission before the game quit (weird!).

[obtuse fiber]

Locate the crash dump file in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps.
Note that if the crashing application runs under the System account go to: C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\CrashDumps

[steel jungle]

OK, I'll check it out. I had one happen around 7pm yesterday. For the record, this is what I get most of the time: https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/rvbba8/is_anyone_experiencing_constant_crashing_on_pc/

See the image in the post for reference.

I tried to replicate his fix, but I'm still having issues.

[obtuse fiber]

@steel jungle once u get a crash and locate the crash dump file u can upload it here

[steel jungle]

That's the most recent and most frequent

[obtuse fiber]

That’s not the correct one it should read something about shipping

[steel jungle]

I mean, it's always this error

UE4 has crashed, fatal error or something similar

[obtuse fiber]

ill still check seeing how GSG might have changed the name of that file to deep rock galactic it seems

[steel jungle]

This one?

I don't want to be too upload happy here 😛

[obtuse fiber]

i did some research and closest thing i could find is this, https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20071114-00/?p=24523

its normally named FSD-WinGDK-Shipping.exe.numberplacedhere.dmp

but devs might have renamed it

[steel jungle]

So, what do I do with that link 🙂 ?

[obtuse fiber]

that link explains what IP on heap is and how its fixed from devs point of view and if u can find that file name i posted of FSD name thats the main game

if it helps i could screenshare my computer to show you

[steel jungle]

Sure!

[obtuse fiber]

ok voice call first to start screen share lol

devs need to look into ip on heap, IP_ON_HEAP: 000001eea27c5480
The fault address in not in any loaded module, please check your build's rebase

thats what happened when i started debugging while starting it from WinDbg Preview

[light niche]

Ah yes 1001000101110000

[regal breach]

unfortunately, those crashes are rarely usefull, since they describe what happens on a windows level, not game

[steel jungle]

So, the issue with Windows is....Windows 🙂

Most of the crashes are UE4--so is there something I need to be doing to fix my system?

[unreal radish]

I mean this is nothing new. Windows has been a horrible OS for gaming for decades.

[steel jungle]

That being the case, it sounds like I'm at the mercy of my system and its latest batch of updates.

If anyone else has a potential solution, I'd be greatly appreciative.

[runic sapphire]

I have no idea what's going on bar the last few messages, but I'd suggest going into your C drive storage settings and delete leftover window update files, could help unjank a thing

It's a pretty straight forward option in Settings - Storage

[steel jungle]

I ran a system scan and there were some corrupted files that were repaired--I'm also happy to try what you suggested @runic sapphire

[runic sapphire]

Oh, probably best bet to do a reinstall, but with a system reset in between too

[slender pollen]

How do I check if I'm running in dx11/12

[steel jungle]

I believe the Windows Store version runs DX12 by default. I've never seen an option switch between them like on Steam.

[slender pollen]

What if it's on gamepass?

[steel jungle]

Same idea

Gamepass is access to the game through subscription rather than purchasing it from the Windows Store outright

They use the same Xbox interface on the app on PC

[slender pollen]

Strange how it's running so poorly yesterday it was doing fine

[steel jungle]

Under the Xbox app, try verifying and repairing the files

[slender pollen]

Ill try repairing

[steel jungle]

for DRG

Yeah, I've been in the swirl here for a couple of weeks now with crashes every other time I play

[slender pollen]

Ouch 40fps

And stuttering

[steel jungle]

Do you have Cortex?

[slender pollen]

For Razer

[steel jungle]

Yes

[slender pollen]

i does

[steel jungle]

Turn it off

Repair synapse

[slender pollen]

how do i turn of cortex

[steel jungle]

If it's boosting games, go to the icon in the lower right hand part of your screen, right click, exit cortex

I uninstalled it myself

It should be a green circle with three snakes in it

[slender pollen]

where this

do i turn off auto boost

[steel jungle]

That could work

That way it doesn't automatically "optimize"

I honestly don't find it created much of a difference in the games it boosted

I knew there was a problem with it when the coffee stain logo would stutter on startup

[slender pollen]

my entire game stutters

[steel jungle]

Right

Same here, when cortex was boosting games

Just turn it off and see what happens when you open the game

[slender pollen]

it was fine when i was playing yesterday

[steel jungle]

Yes, the mysteries of technology never cease to simultaneously amaze and frustrate me on a regular basis.

[slender pollen]

so now it works

hmmmmmmmmmm

sounds like the ''unoptimized button''

I think cortex optimises ram usage or something

[winged charm]

Has anyone heard about anything regarding Miners Union & Xbox version? I’d love to be able to participate in that but I also get that those cross-integrations can be a pain in the ass

[rotund dagger]

The Miners Unions feature is only available on Steam, and nothing has been announced about bringing it to other platforms.

It isn't really anything to participate in; it has no gameplay associated with it. It was and still is a barebones prototype of a feature, and as such it mostly boils down to clicking a button to join one of the 3 choices, and a month later you'll get a few bonus credits and minerals. We're not missing out on anything interesting.

That said, if the devs ever revisit the concept to flesh it out further and make it more than a barebones prototype, they would probably at least look into bringing it to other platforms

[obtuse fiber]

honestly i hope they fix IP_ON_Heap

[steel jungle]

Bjorn didn't seem convinced it was a DRG thing

At least from what his comment was earlier today

[obtuse fiber]

I think he was talking about my comment about booting up game and it said stuff about Microsoft

[steel jungle]

Ah, I see

I'm going to try not gaming with my Nari headset and see if it helps

Every crash seems to be when I use them vs when I use the standard usb desk speakers

[restive hill]

Anybody wanna play?

[obtuse fiber]

#lfg-xbox-microsoft

[vestal breach]

disappointing to see a two week delay on console again

[obtuse fiber]

lets hope theres not a repeat of season 2 problem aka multiplayer crash and it lasts for one month

[obtuse fiber]

All I can say about next update is solo is going to be a bit different/harder

How is adding more cave designs going to affect Xbox hardware worse better or the same

[runic sapphire]

It's not really a delay, it's par for the course with DRG update release schedule. It'll always be like this

[obtuse fiber]

I’m going to have low hopes and low expectations for season 3 on windows/Xbox builds

Only reason why is because it seems a major bug/glitch makes it impossible to play at least once a season

I’m enjoying it on steam experimental but that doesn’t help bug test for Microsoft build

[glossy echo]

When’s the dlc out?

[obtuse fiber]

When will it be possible for clients to send invites

[steel jungle]

Is it possible for me to take my Windows save and place it into my Steam save?

I have friends on both platforms, so if I had to go back and forth and manually sync them, that might be a potential solution, right?

[gentle abyss]

Check the pins

[grizzled cradle]

Nov 17th for us

[glossy echo]

Thanks man

[steel jungle]

Amazing--I will nomad between systems and not lose progress

[obtuse fiber]

You will see dozens of new cave shapes on your future missions, especially during Point Extraction missions. how will this affect performance on xbox hardware

[night harbor]

I hope the stutters dont get worse with S3

[cobalt depot]

Where's the patch note I don't see it in Steam nor experimental tab

[unreal radish]

Read #experimental-info

season 2 was 1 week

[pine cargo]

can xbox and pc play in one lobby?

[celest schooner]

Xbox and Microsoft (PC) = Yes

With Steam? No

[pine cargo]

wow

cool

[obtuse fiber]

that one week caused problems for a few people aka game crashing after joining multiplayer game

myself included and had to help devs find/fix it

[pine cargo]

i have the game on steam
can i get the game from the microsoft store for free or what?

[obtuse fiber]

nope 2nd purchase required

[pine cargo]

WOW

big sad

[obtuse fiber]

@pine cargo unless u have friends that wanna gift you the game lol

[pine cargo]

xd

[obtuse fiber]

im going broke next month ordering the steam deck so thats 550 dollars gone ouch

@pine cargo do u have gamepass at all

the game is on gamepass to download/play it

[obtuse fiber]

For people that wanna help devs with game crashes crash files are located in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\CrashDumps

is that where crash files are still going and if yes then it would be cool to pin that message

[cobalt depot]

I don't see any of these tabs other than the info one?

[flat crest]

did you read it all the way through?

[meager pawn]

Read the channel and stop wasting everyone else's time.

[cobalt depot]

This is the only discord I'm in so I m not familiar with the react thingy I see it now. Ill make sure to remember not to tell others
