I'm sure a lot of folks here have played many other games. For me, I haven't played one as much as I've played DRG since Kerbal Space Program
I should probably fire that up again at some point and see how rusty I've become. Turns out, landing on the moon is just a little challenging
rip pretty sure my save got corrupt somehow
Sorry if this is late, but there is a "Restore Save" feature in the Options menu under Gameplay. I'm not sure exactly how that works, whether it pulls a save from the cloud or rolls back to a previous save, but it might help
Thatād be pretty cool, time allotted. My work schedule is pretty crazy atmš
@glossy echo my game life is red dead online DRG and cold war zombies
ive been burning out on DRG for obvious reasons
Awesome cool
Drg is like the only game my brain cells have left to survive on
Also I went from playing cod zombies back to Drg and I was heavily conflicted on head shots
I had to get my muscle memory back
Had to go into my microsoft cloud files delete them and restore ingame bc it was trying to catch me in a loop via tutorial highley nearly shit a brick
But you managed to correct the problem? Nice!
It's never a bad idea to make backups of save files. I occasionally make a backup of my Deep Rock save because there has been trouble in the past. I've never needed to rely on it, but it provides some peace of mind
Yeah I have a back up on the xbone but my worry was that xbox cloud would override but it doesnt
Hello can anyone help me out pls
With what
Xbone looks tasty ngl
Help with what? You have to say lmao
I was too embarrassed to talk in an inactive chat Iām sorry
Buuuut Ive been having a problem with the assignment board āObjective: Conquer Hoxxes IVā and itās been stuck on the 2nd to last mission which is escort duty, after Iāve done it at least 3-4 times. My friend is also experiencing this too and I donāt know what to do.
I would recommend something but starting that assignment over is a last resort
Also have you tried doing that assignment as a host and trying it also as joining someone elseās game
@light sundial ^^^^^^^
Yeah, Iām always hosting, I havenāt tried joining someone else though
I donāt mind restarting the assignment but I do mind restarting alll of my progress , which is what Iāve been seeing
That s the 9 missions tutorial assignment right? Would be kind of a bummer to restart from 1 if you re at 8th, if you open the server browser there s an icon to the left on the missions related to your assignment I would try joining someone else's session before restarting the whole thing
Thatās a tutorial?? Damn lol but alright Iāll keep posted, thank yāall
Yeah after that assignment you unlock the whole map I think for now you re locked to only the few missions they give you
Is it even possible to restart the tutorial assignment
Usually 'important' ones are impossible to abort so I kinda assumed it applied to the tutorial
Anyone know where the .ini files are for windows version?
The very first mission you can replay
When did they remove the ability to back out of a game on character select?
They didnāt
wow i did not know this game was on gamepass. i was debating so hard to buy it during winter sales but now i can just play it there ā¤ļø
Welcome to the club, greenbeard.
@tropic bone itās a great addicting game just make sure to make time for food drink and bathroom breaks
Now get back to work!
haaa okay, if i like it a lot i will get the game in march or something
Iām over level 1,000 that should tell you itās addicting š
Iām on 3 star legendary
Iāve done over 120 promotions
Iāll check after mission š
is it that good? rly?
Itās a great game that makes you wanna go back to it
to a new addiction!
have any tips for me going in?
At least promote all dwarfs at least once to enjoy them in deep dives
@tropic bone also find people that you trust and friend them or find people with mics
thank you š
No problem
the only reason i didn't buy this
is because i had no one ot play it with
so i'd be in pubs for days
Yeah randoms can be a nightmare sometimes
@wraith compass I have 136 promotions right now trying to go for 200
Most of my friends list I play this game with is from pubs
If you carry your weight you will make friends fast
Everyone wants people to play with
yeah that's very true
So can you do as any deep dive as you want aside from weekly or do they only correlate when you have comete the 3 prep mission follow up is that what the hollow hexagons above launch button are or is that to show your team
They show how far you made it in the current deep dive
since you can only get the reward for each stage once during a week
and they refresh every Thursday, giving you a week to do both.
And even if you don't manage to complete the deep dive, you will keep the reward(s) for any stage(s) you do complete
That's pretty badass yo
Oof, looks like we will be needing a new drill dozer
update 33 back to work Dorretta lol
I hope you can like throw her around sheāll make noises
Does everyone know about floating objects at spawn
ill post something better then that
No floating gunk seed but a floating gunner
Yeah I've been encountering the bug via his end but it usually happens when I drop in a sesh in progress you tend to fall roughly 5000m down then either die or just get stuck back in the spot your pod dropped you some times you can shoot for a few seconds then you can do anything
floating objects at spawn is a known bug but really low on list of bug fixing
The floating objects at spawn date back to early access but a floating gunner and doing what it did is new to me.
If anyone wants haz 4 action Iāll be on for a bit.
Still on?
Oh yeah
^
@gentle wraith see if you can join off of the board it wonāt let me invite because this is 1834 and the internet runs through wire made of camel hair and horse glue.
If you exit the game and restart, you should be able to invite. No idea why exactly, but after playing for a bit it's like you become out of sync with everyone else and you won't be able to invite. It will also make it so that friends sometimes can't join you.
Everyone trying to play together then needs to exit and restart, and then everyone should be able to join or invite with no problems. A bit frustrating, but easy and reliable to work around
I just didnāt want to lose the guys I was with
lfg for an elite deep dive, windows or xbox
I totally understand! I've been in that exact situation myself. Luckily missions are usually not so long that you can't finish up the mission and then do everything to get everyone back in, but it absolutely is a bit of a hassle
Who be on the East coast
Iām not on anymore sadly
How do i restart the assignment?
anyone going for the EDD?
Go to assignment terminal near drop pod in rig
Click on active assignment and hit abort
Thereās no abort option
Which mission is it?
The freakin tutorial lol
I still donāt know how to get rid of this bug , itās irritating
The one with the diamond above it?
Itās stuck on escort duty, the 2nd to last mission
He says it's not counting towards the assignment after completing the mission
Ah
With the drilldozer thatās super time consuming
If you can't abort the only thing I can think of is getting a new assignment instead of it
If you get a class to 15 there s a weapon assignment
But you can't start a new assignment until you abort your current assignment...
I donāt know how to tweak with those things sadly
Like Iāve heard about resetting progress to fix it but Iām not down for that
I'm not sure there are past saves to load...
Not past saves
But reset to a certain point, itās in the settings
Iirc
Idk I barely messed with it so Iām not 100% certain
Iām on restore save what do I do now
There is "Restore Save" and "Reset Progress." I always assumed Reset Progress wipes all progress, but I could be wrong about the way that works
Restore save thatās the thing
I have never used it. I imagine that you click Restore Save and then maybe exit and relaunch the game?
Restore save will have different times where the game saves your progress or something
If that makes sense
I wouldnāt go that far back in your saves but far enough
Yikes
Ah, okay. That does make sense. So pick a previous save and then try the mission again
Can I just try the most recent save
Honestly, 8 missions is extremely little progress to lose
You can try the most recent one and hope it fixes it
And you can make that up so much faster now that you have the hang of the game
Fingers crossed
It didnāt work š
You could try going to an earlier save, if you haven't already
Aghhh idk how early
That is a problem. Honestly, you really don't have that much progress that you'd lose unless you've been playing a ton without completing that first assignment
You could probably get those 8 missions done in 2 - 3 hours. Less if you put it on Hazard 1 and cheese it just to be done. The game doesn't really open up until you finish that assignment, and you'll only lose a tiny bit of gold and XP by rushing through it on Haz 1
Well Iām a level 17 engineer and a rookie miner so idk
I enjoy how challenging it is in the higher hazard levels but jeez, idk what to do
That is a tough call to make, yeah. If you only have those Engineer levels to lose, I'd say it's probably worth starting over. You can get back to that level fairly quickly now that you have the hang of things.
Hazard 1 is extremely easy: you can pretty much ignore the bugs and rush the objectives and race through the whole assignment. It won't be fun, but it'll be done. Or play the usual Hazard level of choice and enjoy it
Ouch dude
It's a bitter decision to make, but if that mission has really bugged out for you and you cannot move past it, you'll never be able to do new assignments to promote your dwarves, unlock new weapons, unlock the mineral trade terminal, or a few other things that are tied to assignments
That sucks man
As it is, at Engineer 17 you should have the alternate weapon assignments available to unlock the Engineer's alternate primary and alternate secondary
Nah I still only have the tutorial level
Yep. And you will until you complete it
Which isn't working, so I'm not sure there's much choice
Alternate primary weapon assignments become available at class level 10 and secondary is available at class level 15. But only once you've completed that first assignment
It won't take nearly as long to make up your lost progress as it has to keep trying to complete the bugged assignment mission
And I haven't really seen many complaints of assignments bugging out tin this way, so it probably won't happen again. Not that that's much comfort given what you've been dealing with
When can u prestige a class? Like what level
25
Levels 1 - 15 go by pretty quick. Maybe 5 or 6 missions. Progress slows down after level 15 or so
Yeah I can tell
Iām trying to convince my friend to reset since heās experiencing it too but heās doesnāt wanna lol
You sure this works?
I actually cannot recall having seen anyone have this problem before.
I can't guarantee it'll work, but since the assignment isn't advancing no matter what you've tried, I can guarantee that you will get stuck at Engineer level 25 and will no longer make any progress. You won't be able to unlock new weapons. You won't be able to do Deep Dives. You won't be able to earn Weapon Overclocks. You will only be able to get all classes to level 25 and then be stuck unable to progress further
Iām scared
I am genuinely surprised it has bugged out like this. I've experienced some weirdness a few times with assignments, but nothing where I was unable to eventually complete the assignment. The trouble is that since it's the first assignment that unlocks all of the planet, you cannot abort it and therefore you cannot move on to other assignments
I know it seems like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things, you're not losing much yet. Now, if you had promoted and really started unlocking stuff that'd be a different story.
And like I said earlier, you'll be able to make up for what you lost faster now that you know what you're doing.
If you want, you could wait until the next update. Since there's two new regions to explore in the new update, the assignment you're on might get updated to include those new regions, and that might fix the issue. There's no way to know for sure though
But the new update is probably still several weeks away for us
After exhausting all other options as you have, that's what I would do
If somehow it bugs out again, I think the only thing left would be to wait for the next update to see if it works after that
ThTs what Iām afraid of
A reasonable concern. But I haven't seen it break like this before, and the fact that it's happened for your friend as well is strange. I can't begin to guess what would cause this
You could wait for the update and see if that fixes it, but it'll be a little bit. And in the meantime, if you play more you'll have even more progress that you might have to throw out if the update doesn't fix it
Why is Weekly core hunt - 16 minutes lol
You need to restart game so itās correct
Rock and stone everyone!
@light sundial if you are wanting to swing through mission I'm more than down to run with you bud
Anyone know when mod support is coming to Xbox
@tropic bone probably never. Mod support is only coming to steam and itās only to tell players that the server is modded
intially only that
That is heatwave headwear if I think thatās what u r looking at š
Gold version does exist just need to equip the right armor that makes it gold or bronze if it looks like that color also
I can't find anything on Heatwave hat?
Iāll get on DRG and send a photo of it on here

Hey, I need some help. I'm trying to play this game with my bro on xbox, but pressing Y to invite players doesn't work. Tried to host a password protected match, only to find that the server browser can't find a single match at all. We gave up and are now doing monster hunter world, which is working perfectly fine with 0 issues. It's not urgent or anything now since we're just gonna do MH, but it's really frustrating and I'm going to refund the game unless if I can find a solution.
anyone wana do a thing?
What do you mean pressing Y doesn't work? What happens? Can you select him on your friends list? @swift hill
It prompts you to press Y to invite friends on the status screen. I press Y, but literally nothing happens :(
I've also tried using xbox's invite to game system, still nothing
so I haven'
t been able to join someones game through the windows xbox console in like 2 weeks
not sure if it is just purely bad luck and they ahve always been full (which is getting more and more unlikely) but I used to be able to do it all the time
I mean sure they fixed the bug that I would try and join a game and it would be full and I would get the wrong error message. but now I cant join any games at all
I have noticed when playing with friends that if they have been playing for a while they will not be able to invite anyone and I will not be able to join them until we all exit and relaunch the game. Same thing if I've been playing for a while I cannot invite anyone and friends will not just be able to join me until we all exit and relaunch.
I have no idea why this happens, and I don't know how long it takes to get into this "unjoinable" state, but it is very consistent. Likewise, if we all exit and restart then it very consistently allows us to join/invite. Once we are all in a game together everything works and we don't need to mess around with exiting/restarting until someone else wants to join or someone crashes
that sounds exactly what I am dealing with
It's so consistent that if a friend tries to join once and it doesn't work, we all just immediately exit the game as a reflex now. As soon as we all get back in, we are able to invite/join on the first try
Sometimes it seems like you could be a mission or two into a session, and a friend can join, but other times it feels like even just a few minutes into your first mission of a session joining won't work. I suspect it may have something to do with missions rolling over at the half hour mark, but even that doesn't seem to always make the "unjoinable" state occur
Everyone exiting and relaunching within a few minutes of each other always sorts it out though, and DRG loads so quickly that it really isn't too much of a pain. Only really an issue when we're halfway through a mission we don't want to abort and someone has to wait a few minutes for us to finish up before they can join
I would try to invite through the Xbox menu. I'm on PC, so I can't speak to the Xbox side of things much, but I do believe my friend on Xbox invites me through the Xbox menu, not the in-game menu.
My above messages about not being able to invite anyone and friends not being able to join you after you've been playing for a while still apply.
Exit the game completely, and have everyone who is trying to join you do the same. Then relaunch the game, and wait until you're fully loaded into the space rig and can run around before you try to join or invite. That goes for everyone else as well.
If it doesn't work on the first try (it almost always works on the first try), reboot consoles and PCs and then relaunch the game. This has always worked for us
@rotund dagger thanks, I'll give it a shot. Previously when we tried to invite through the xbox menu it didn't give us the option, but maybe a fresh reboot on both consoles will help
No problem at all. Reboots always help us. Good luck!
lookin for a game i am a lvl 5 driller
Hmu bud
Looking for a game compatible with the PC Xbox game pass version I am a lvl 5 driller
Fortunately you're in the right channel haha my gamer tag is same my disco name I have a 5 gunner who's gonna tag with
do i friend you through xbox and join you or do i join you server
i cant find you on xbox
my xbox is P4tientZer0#2191 is their any games i can join
I found out the solution to my problem
Deep Rock Galactic does not like it when your xbox is hooked up to ethernet
Wierd problem, but I legitimately tried everything else
Odd that other games would work fine but DRG would not. Also, I know for sure my friend is using an ethernet cable from his router to his Xbox, and he has no problems (other than what I mentioned about playing too long). It could be a setting in your router that is different between ethernet and wifi connections
Could even be that you have outdated cables that are limited typically if its not a cat6 or higher you can bet on not getting your full speed idk tho
I used to play via ethernet and that how my lady plays too so again no clue
Under-spec or just plain faulty cable could be an issue for sure, but I would expect other games to exhibit issues if that were the case
Exactly including it's a pretty low demanding game it's an anomaly for sure
I don't know if it was a problem with DRG or not, but Monster hunter world worked
Yeah, it's quite strange. I'd expect if it were a network issue it'd affect MHW too. That's why I don't think it's a full on network issue, but possibly a setting that other games handle fine but causes problems for DRG. I feel like it's a stretch, but it's the only thing I can think of
I'm glad it worked out. That was some of the most fun I've had in a while, playing that with my bro.
Heck yeah! DRG really shines when playing with friends
anybody wanna do assignments with me? i have all the weeklies to do
plan is to do my last two gunner promotion missions, then do weeklies on hazard 3
Had fun playing with y'all today those new and not so. Was a damned good run promoted my scout gripped a couple infused cores even met a legendary dwarf by the name MrBIG951 who's been around since prelaunch so that was neat
Anyone who wants to run deep dives tomorrow feel free to hit me up I'll be on around 1900pst
anyone down to just play drg
Ooga booga
booga ooga
Dontstartacult
Thereās none around here
Into the volcano
Well DRG is going to bed on my game list
Ah shucks, That volcano keeps alternating between non DRG and here.
Iām taking a break from DRG itās getting boring playing it and Iām starting to burn out on it. So much for my goal of getting 200 promotions under my belt
Iām going to be playing other games that need attention like hardspace shipbreaker
Honestly Iām surprised I didnāt burn out since Iāve been playing since day 1 of early access
Iām probably going to skip update 33 as well
ill get back on DRG when it becomes interesting again and we have the xbox exclusive helmet
sad day man
i guess ill stay at level 1,150 for a while, ill be ignoring all game invites relating to DRG so everyone can enjoy discord chat also too, i wish was there a take a break from server timeout and no tater duncing doesnt count lol
ill be playing other games if anyone wants to join me on them
heres a pro tip beware of XP gainers that join late in game to get free XP i know of a couple players that do that and technically havent earned there high level
i wish devs would put in XP gainer block method like if u join while timer is going you dont earn XP, they did that while people are joining while leaving in drop pod but not before during extraction timer
do you need xbox gold to play this on windows store
google says no but im confirming
because i doubt the google and dont taunt the doodle
You do not need Xbox Live Gold to play any Windows Store game online
thanks
the underline really seals the deal my man
my pc owning friend will become miner today. haha
Should we temp ban you so you wonāt get tempted, nibs?
I'm on it!
Awesome moderator awareness!
:D Jacob best dev ever
time for greenbeard carrying
uh oh, no 33% fall damage reduction yet
anybody wants to play
Well I had to reset windows 10 to a clean install
glad to see you're back.
Iām only back to log in to discord on desktop using QR code since windows 10 was being a pain
oh alright, was wondering why
microsoft said you need important updates but after installing them and restarting computer it said undoing changes
I smell sarcasm
And I smell a bug
Donāt look at me, I showered 14 times today.
whenever i want to join anything online in the game, it keeps saying joining and it never joins anything (xbox)
if anyone answers, ping me
yooo that robot dance move tho
so this might be as simple as something like Norton or other avg apps blocking it
could also be that you need to go into your xbox profile setting via the website and make sure online matchmaking is allowed with everyone not just friends or off (yesterday i had mine randomly switch that and my communication[voice chat, dms] off)
it could also be your over all connection id check your networks stats too
if all else fails and the typical restarting of your system didnt help give the router a go we can take this into DMs if none of that helps
pics or it didnt happen
@gentle wraith alrighty ill try dem
any luck?
anyone up for dd? lmk
Wtf, sicko
@gentle wraith eeee didnāt work cause they were all already enabled
Make sure your game is up to date. I haven't had issues with connection since the recent multiplayer overhaul but back in the day there was issues with "teredo did not qualify", issues with firewalls, nat type, restarting the console to fix it or sometimes it just wouldn't let you connect to anyone for days.
so is their anything im supposed to do now
anyone down to just play and chill
Pc player canāt hear me on Xbox party any tips
But I can hear him
He doesnāt even hear game sound
Weird
That's just always been my experience. I'm on PC and I can never hear Xbox folks in-game. I'm usually with my friend who is on Xbox and he can hear them, so it's usually fine, but I'm not sure how to remedy it
well I know some guys get it to work on my FL
but itās weird he canāt even hear the game or me, but we can hear him
He can't hear the game at all?
Because that seems like a more important problem
Party chat works around the in-game voice chat issue
eeeee it never works
I think itās a PEBKAC error but am not sure
i literally cant play online on xbox LOL
Can you play any games online?
I think elemental bulks could be neat. Like I love the concept of the golden bulk and I think it opens up some interesting possibilities. Such as nuclear bulks which detonate with fallout, or magma bulks that leave seared ground like normal bulks do in the magma zone. Maybe bulks that leave craters with a slime surface?
SomeOldGuyHI - play late afternoons and evenings normally - Hawaii Time - Looking to do a lot more Co-op. I stream W,TH,FR evenings. Not Always DRG, but when I do I usually leave my mission open to friends. Add me and drop in any time.
Geez i thought people in Europe generally had good connections, this one guy in DE lowest ping was 70, highest 500 and jummped all over the place
Fuckign awful connection, must be wifi
In a crowded wifi covered area
I wish not only does it say "Close", "Medium" etc, it states the connection quality beforehand so I don't jump into a unplayable mess
Does anybody want to play with me? Windows edition
Anyone wanna join in ona mining mission im in?
@slow tulip im on xbox so cross plat is an option
@fading zealot @slow tulip You guys need a third?
Sure
Gamertag?
@fading zealot you can invite me if you want
Anyone up for helping me finish this assignment?
I wish we had a better PTT indicator
Or like
One to begin with
@light niche sorry was doing missions sure! We can grind missions together. What's your gamertag?
hit me up if y'all got room, just added ya
guys, if i got the game from gamepass on win 10, will i able to play with ppl from steam?
No
The Steam version has no crossplay with other versions
You know why is that?
Because the devs would have to come up with a system to allow Steam accounts to talk to Xbox accounts. As far as I'm aware, there's currently no easy, turnkey solution, so the devs would have to build their own. That is not currently planned
It'd be nice though.
Steam and the microsoft version use different backends to facilitate the matchmaking process. These two are incompatible with each other. GSG would need to develop its own backend and operate their own servers for it to be possible.
Maybe an account system?
So while crossplay would be impossible.
At least your stats would be the same
So, not only they don't have a dedicated servers to run games on, but also don't have any servers to connect ppl with each other? epic
The game doesn't require servers. It's peer-to-peer
Yeah, and that sucks
Few games do need servers.
Dedicated servers are pointless with 4 people and a waste of money.
And it can cause a lot of damage
No, they aren't pointless, because i often connect to ppl in GB and get ping like 800 ms
Really annoying
a dedicated server would not fix that
I have a gigabit fiber connection, why i should suffer because someone has a bad one?
It will fix that, so ppl with good internet will always have a good ping
Maybe you should host then?
that's not how that works
I host as often i can
It's based on server proximity anyways.
If i have a good connection to server, i will always have a good ping, and it doesn't matter if other dude has an adsl or mobile internet
I'm not going to explain networking basics. There's thousands of videos online that do that. Watch those. Dedicated servers for small groups of people are a waste of time and money for a coop game.
Mhm. Especially since a DRG is a single payment game.
They'd need to implement microtransactions to cover fees.
I have an education in networks & telecommunications, i know networking basics
If Deep Rock needed servers it probably wouldn't exist as it'd most like be cost-prohibitive to operate
For servers that might not even be used.
There are free opensource game, called teeworld that has many dedicated servers around the globe. Idk how devs can't afford some servers in US and EU
Because servers are a constant expense
Right now there's about 6000 people playing DRG daily according to steam. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say there's 1500 on Win10
Comparing one game to another is often an exercise in futility. Games are complex software that often differ in extremely significant ways, and even more so if you're doing online multiplayer
That's 7500 total and I'll also say everyone paid full price.
That's around a quarter of a million (probably way lower) in purchases.
Money that needs to go towards paying the developers, for their office space, producing the game, etc.
Adding server fees into that rather meager sum would break the back of most companies.
And at the end in 90% cases, i have really pad ping, and it ruin my in game experience
As an aside average salary for a game developer would be around 42k a year, a person.
I don't know how many people are in the DRG tean
Team*
I'm sure what a dozen servers in several regions would cost them like 2-4k dollars per year
But that'd be a fifth of their total income from the game.
I usually host. Occasionally there is someone who adds a little lag. It's pretty infrequent though, and it's just the nature of any online multiplayer game
Yeah I've not encountered lag really
maybe you guys are in GB, it would explain it
GB?
Nope. East Coast USA
great britain
I play with folks in Europe with no problems
25
Ah thank you for the response š
And there would be a running cost for having crossplay between Steam & Xbox due to the framework. It's not out of the question that it could happen, but there's a lot of things to consider.
Aye, death and taxes,
If you think about it guys who were talking about crossplay between Steam and XBOX, the issue would not really exist if there was no Steam version, the game could of been like Sea of Thieves or gears 5
But Steam is easier to develop for so
But then again having 2 separate versions put more strain on the devs š¤
where do i lfg for windows?
On here for on XBOX community looking for group thing
also on companion app
companion app is retired for me, won't let me use it
only Xbox App works
But no I can't find community thing on it
Last time I used it, it wouldn't get passed the log in, just reset everytime cus they pushed Xbox App, but they haven't finished it
Like not all features are there
I need to do a refining mission, need a driller if possible, playing scout
Does anybody want to play deep rock windows Xbox edition?
i want
but i cant
why?
Does anybody want to play?
@sacred bay You and your friends should try exiting the game, and then relaunching the game. That should fix your ability to join/invite. Make sure you wait until you are completely loaded into the game and can run around the space rig before trying to invite/join.
This works for myself and my friends all the time. If it doesn't work the first time you try it, have everyone reboot their PC/Xbox and try again. Try to launch the game within a few minutes of each other
@slow tulip I'm up for a game
Alr vc?
Sure
If you've tried rebooting already, and you've checked the pinned messages, I'm not sure what else to try. A reboot has always fixed my Game Bar invite and join issues
is there problem because i'm from egypt??
I don't think that should be a problem, but also you're the first person I've met from Egypt so I don't really have anything to base that on. I'm sorry I'm not more help
Did they buff the tall machine event? It seems way harder to kill
The tower?
maybe the player base has been nerfed
So many grenbeards, only me and one other know what we are doing, but we still couldn't destroy bottom layer
Some tower configurations are more difficult than others
Has there been changes?
I know how to do all
But I fail the tower way more then before
No idea. You can check the patchnotes
host was rank 500, he rage quit at lose
I told him to get out cus noobs
Scout was away doing f all
Sounds like the host is a leaf lover
I know exactly how he feels
engi got himself killed by bottom tower running around like a headless chicken
So I tried to revive him by digging a hole
Scout not shooting the drones hit me
Havenāt seen you on much prich
Game
I've been playing almost every day
Must not be catching you š¦
I'm not hosting so you can't find me unless you manage to join the same game aha
Hey can you not use voice on Xbox?
Any one fer haz 5
Anyone want to do some dreadnoughts?
Can you transfer your save file from windows 10 to steam by any chance? I already have quite a bit of progress on the windows one.
it depends on how the file is saved on your pc, but you might want to look that up
You can, check the 3rd pin from the top, it links to a reddit post explaining how to do it.
But yeah I heard it can be a bit of a pain
thanks all
anyone that needs a scout or whatever idk if you wanna add me iām Pzemu on xbl
Sure i'll add, if thats okay. Always nice to play with others ^^
Itās weird sometimes you have to close out game and restart
i do that this 4times
i play in gamepass
and why it's take forever to join??
to random man
@fresh crow
can u help me
No I mean like, can one not communicate with others on the xbox? My friend seems unable to talk, and going into the audio options there seems to be no voice options, while on steam/windows 10 I have buttons for push to talk and mic volume.
yes there is voice chat
Some people seem to not be able to talk crossplatform
I believe I can as i've played with console people
And could hear them
why it's take 4 ever
Anybody want to team for haz 4?
I Would š¦
begin your journey with pinned messages
i start it and end it
with nothing š
anyone wana EDD?
dont ping mods for that first of all
second, try disabling your firewall. see if that fixes the issue. make sure you turn it back on though
if that changes anything, let me know
@sacred bay
also this
i well try disabling firewall
I don't understand
For some reason I keep getting pinged whenever someone pings moderator
Am I secretly a moderator without me knowing? š¤
And only in this chat for some reason.
Yes
how to updata game??
Doesn't it just update automatically
Oh
firewall doesn't work
On for H4
did you try this @sacred bay
how i change it
Just had two people totally ignore the machine event.
Some newer folks seem to be under the misguided impression that machine events don't do anything because they don't realize that blank cores are needed to collect a reward. It's quite a mistake though, as even if you don't successfully complete the machine event you still get a decent chunk of XP for starting them...
type windows defender in the windows search
tbh it's a negligible chunk
All you have to do is start the event. You can run away and get free XP for pushing a few buttons. Far quicker than completing any secondary objective, and worth almost as much XP
yes but new players tend to try to do them and die
which makes completing the mission much harder if you have to go and rez them
Just leave them until the event is over if you can't beat it without them
Go collect stuff and come back
Unless it's a tower event or above Haz 3, I suspect most veteran players can finish most machine events solo if the crew goes down, or at least survive until it's over
Damn, just realised the to join a Union you have to use the steam version
Yeah, Unions and Discord integration are Steam version only features
That's sad really
They're neat features, but don't really affect the game in any way other than a few bonus minerals once a month or so
Yes I wish there was player level shown on the pause menu tbh.
Yeah...
In my experience it's been pretty obvious what a person's player level is by how they play, but every now and again you get someone over player level 50 that really fools you into thinking they're less than player level 10. The "guess the player level" game does make things exciting, but not always in a good way, haha
Is there a leak for the mineral overhaul??
Itās mostly a visual change with a daily mineral deal according to their previous stream.
Is it a deal only for buying or is there going to be a better time to sell specific minerals also?
Beats me, I watched it at like 5am and wasnāt completely awake.
Neat 
Need three, anyone?

Ok my dumb question of the week. Is QA just testing out build of steam and converting it over to windows build or is some QA testing aka just playing windows build being done because it seems more QA testing is being done on steam and hoping it works for Microsoft version. Cough steam filter windows build cough.
It just seems that QA work is being put into steam version and using Microsofts weird converting software to convert steam build to Microsoft version like how Microsoft said that itās easy to port android apps to windows at that time they had that software
QA on Steam is QA on both versions, and there's extra QA on the Xbox/windows build too.
Level 35 starts the tritilyte in the middle of a swarm. šš
this should help with also figuring out why my game randomly goes into windowed mode then its not responding in windowed mode
last night i was playing with @vernal wigeon and my game went into windowed mode and then not responding then it crashed
can anyone help me play with my firend? i cannot connect nor accept invites i have the xbox gmae pass edition
I have no idea what you are talking about I have never played with you before
IT MUST HAVE BEEN A GHOST OOOOOHHHHHHH
š»
@sacred bay On windows, sometimes it does not auto update, to check, go to DRG on Microsoft Store
i uninstall the game and redownload it and same š¦
If it doesn't let you join or invite, you and your friends should exit the game, and then relaunch. Wait until you're all fully loaded into the space rig and can run around before trying to invite or join.
If this doesn't work the first time, have everyone reboot their PCs/Xboxes and then launch the game within a few minutes of each other
that problem is bad
very bad ans suck
There may be a small number of folks are not able to join or invite no matter what. No idea why, but I have seen at least one other person who is experiencing what you are. Hopefully the devs are able to see what's going on and fix it
can any dev talk to use??
They do read this channel and they do respond here, but it's currently after office hours for them. They are in UTC +1 time zone, so they won't be back in the office for a while
StoicMako the MVP. Most Valuable Player.
but its mostly jacob that reads this channel to tell me no on everything i type lol
Is anyone here having issues with game lag lately? Obviously when hosting there are no issues but when joining games, even when in own country...
yes
Lol
You can just host a public lobby and they should be able to join.
Or they can join through your profile.
when i host or join it's give me a infinity loading
@sacred bay xbox or windows 10, if xbox check settings to xbox live and windows 10 go to settings click game and click xbox networking and make sure you are connected and its open, also update network card if possible
i would recommend Intel driver and support assistant to check for updates
Click fix it and restart computer
also make sure windows 10 is updated to version 20H2
Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 20H2
Installed on ā1/ā15/ā2021
OS build 19042.746
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0
after restart smae problem
after update what to do
check settings to make sure you are on that version after and then try fixing xbox networking one more time and also make sure you are on a strong WIFI signal or only using one router to connect to internet
Is that normal
that windows is performing an update or that you're dual booting on a macbook?
Dual booting on a Mac is a little risky and windows updating is normal
anybody look for group on here?
I return from my long slumber
Welcome


IN HELL
same after update and restart
Ah, well I wonder how you got there, lambentcy
Dug too deep in the Magma Core.
Where you playing gunner w/cluster nades?
Didnāt I play with you and agent, lambentcy?
So do we get 1 or 2 biomes with the upcoming update?
2, Azure Weald and Hollow Bough
Also are the builds for H4/5 best suited for speedrunnin'? Ive only tried a couple not knowing what to expect but..dayumn
Okay cool. Azure Weald looks like it'll be an instant favorite. Rivals Dense Biozone for the amazing color palette
Not really, regular h5 builds you would have decent DMG/ammo economy but for speedruns you need none of that it s very specific builds on speedruns
If your goal is speedruns you should look up their recorded runs you d get a better idea, I don t think they talk builds much on that channel
For speedrunning deep dives, you generally only need to deal with certain enemies and ignore the rest. You'd be better off making a build after seeing what you're up against week to week
I really like the grenade launcher on engineer, but I'm certainly switching to breach cutter if I know there's going to be problematic spitballers in the way
Breach does everything the pgl does except big aoe
So, breach would be the most ideal thing to take. Tho, Hyper Prop is very fun and lethal
I would argue that 'big AoE' is a valuable characteristic
I mean it is, but breach with rts can pretty much do that. Without the aoe involved
Idk, I like having 5.5 meters aoe on PGL with Proxy, works nicely
I use that on my general build
I mean the aoe from fatboy does it quicker than breach. Fair. But still breach has range, and goes through walls.
i don't use fatboy
I donāt use anything other than fatboy or hyper prop
Clean Sweep is good enough, Fatboy is overkill
There are better characters to deal with big enemies, so just being able to help deal with big groups of smaller enemies is good
Still highly recommend tho rts. As it does 2 passes with one shot basically doubling ammo.
I use HP on emimination of course
the only build I use with Breach is high voltage for stunning, use on Salvage and Escourt
Stubby with full electric too
Lots of stunning, my team mates always love it lol
Buys so much time
Itās def a good oc, if you want to full go for elec then sure
Fat boy was one of the first overclocks I got, keep meaning to use Elemental Insulation so I can use it on a downed teammate res them without also being downed. Super ineffective but fun is #1
Then watch as team mates confused and stay too long so invincibility runs out and get downed again
??
??
any help
Can goo bombers green weakpoints be fixed please? It's still impossible to hit if it's facing away
Was literally a still goo bomber, broke the first facing me, could clearly see the second and shot 3 times and non counted as a weakpoint hit
Like why??? Is the hitbox not the same shap as the visual body?
It is not.
What is blocking the shot? Is there a mini invisable wall???
But why? On purpose???
So annoying
I have to wait for it to turn, sometimes it doesn't, you try to get the right angle and then it moves again
So annoying, there is no need for this stupid is on purpose mechanic, it's harder to hit, so we should still be rewarded
honestly i wouldnt mind testing out the future updates for windows build since microsoft makes it easy to sideload apps/games on computer
Yo, what happened to the community on Xbox?
I went to join a group post and there were 4 posts
Doesnāt mean anything is wrong with the community
Just not a lot of people post lfg on that group post
I didnāt mean to imply there was anything wrong with the community
Itās just that the last time I looked for a group post, there were 30
But granted that was also a couple weeks ago
I guess so, it just surprised me that there were so few, especially with the update around the corner
A couple of weeks ago I suspect that folks might have still been on break for the winter holidays, which means more people would naturally have more time for Deep Rock
That makes sense
Oh, and the update is still a little over 3 weeks away for the Xbox/Windows Store version: Feb 11th. As exciting as the update is, it's still a little early to be that excited about it
That said, I'm excited about it
I have a really bad sense of time, I didnāt realize it was 3 weeks away, lol
I thought it was only like, 1 or 2
No worries at all. For the Steam version, it is a little over 2 weeks: Feb 4th
New biome!!!!
We're almost always getting updates about a week or two after the Steam release. It usually results in us getting at least the first few important hotfixes rolled in, which isn't a bad thing
Still waiting for DRG 3
Hell yeah brother
Hey! New to the game (playing on XGP PC) and would love to play with some people who can teach me how everything works. I'm in Australia, hope that doesn't impact much ping wise. All the best! DM me slight_smile
Xbox is certainly still kicking. The trust for randos is bleak tho. Too many missions failed from drillers burning the entire team alive while they try to hold a position 
The LFG section probably just saw an unnaturally high spike in activity because of the game being added to gamepass
With the initial spike in attention gone, we're back to lower numbers I guess
Anyone wanna go some runs? we're in pod 1 for xbox/ms windows
Will the Xbox insider hub be getting an experimental build of update 33?
I remember it got one for the networking framework changes before update 32
Doesn't sound like they have any plans for it this update. Probably unnecessary as most normal update bugginess is the same between platforms so they can just test on steam
Only needed microsoft-specific testing for networking black magic
Is anyone else dealing with achievements not tracking? I know I've done way more than 20 mission with mutators
it's broken. Will be fixed next update.
Thanks! @magic pewter

Jacob best dev ever.
Anybody else having problems with running out of DRG content
3 weeks
nope
just dig more holes
Nibbles, you're past level 1000
I'm pretty sure that's one of, if not the highest levels on xbox
You've done a lot of content
i wonder what the greatest 5th dwarf class they used for testing purposes was it the driller with all weapons or the scout with all weapons/tools
does any one can help us
ya 3 time and in 3 time i restart
Have you checked the firewall?
ya it's allow
Did you click "check again"?
ya
@sacred bay last thing i would recommend is enable IPhelper and IP translation other then that i cant help anymore
also in services check for xbox services as well
@sacred bay
that link should help also
quick question does xbox pc and steam have crossplay ?
or its upcoming feature š
steam has no crossplay and thats last on the list of things needing to be added @signal holly
windows 10 also known as microsoft store has crossplay with xbox
my friend has drg on microsoft store and I have it on steam.discord join up didnt work š¦ .Thanks for answering @obtuse fiber 
Yeah, unfortunately Steam has no crossplay, and at this time there are no plans to add crossplay. Furthermore, Discord integration is a Steam-only feature, so joining a game through Discord only works for the Steam version
Bros, my friend is trying to play on Xbox but his game keeps crashing when he tries to start it up. Does anyone know of a fix
@high hamlet delete and reinstall DRG
Heās already done that and it didnāt work so is there any other way
ANYONE WANNA PLAY DEEP ROCK ON MS/WINDOWS
soo been playing for a long time and i have both the steam version and the microsoft version and ive been wanting to play with my friend thru xbox, i went thru the post in reddit about passing ur profile to the other i was able to do it from microsoft to steam but i am unable to transfer my steam to microsoft because the save file is saved as .sav and the microsoft version does not accept that kind of file it has to be a regular file. Problem is i cannot find a way to change my steam .sav file to a ordinary file so it could work
i would really appreciate help even goes as far as to share screens etc
right click
rename
delete the ".sav"
the files do not have ".sav" in their name @unreal radish
open file explorer, the view tab, check "file name extensions"
I fear I already know the answer but I'll ask anyways: is there any way to port progress from Xbox to Steam?
yes
check pinned messages
There are a lot of bloody pins D:
third one
How to transfer saves between windows and steam:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/jt72nz/not_my_op_wanted_to_reinvigorate_it_now_that_drg/
31 votes and 22 comments so far on Reddit
there, it's repinned now with some text to tell what it is
So I will somehow need to access my Xbox library from Microsofts confusing as hell software and THEN I can port the save over?
yep
You wouldn't happen to have that knowledge off hand would you?
I have 500 hours on Xbox, just got a PC, would like to play xD
nope, haven't got it on xbox
it's play anywhere right?
just install it on PC wait for saves to sync
then copy over
I believe so, so I'd imagine you can just do that
Buy the game on steam, load it and it might just auto sync?
so you'd grab it on the microsoft store for pc using your account
then go to the file location for the windows store version
and transfer those files to steam after you buy it on steam
Christ. I'd have to buy it two more times?
one time
you should already own it for windows store
because of it being a play anywhere title
Ahh gotcha
mako can help more with this
That also raises the question, known all the dlc on Xbox, would I need to rebuy it all?
You own the game on Xbox, so you can use the Microsoft Store built into Windows to download and install DRG. Once installed, run it once and load in to make sure it has your progress. Then exit DRG, go to Steam, and buy DRG on Steam (this will be the only time you have to buy the game again).
Run the Steam version once, load in to the game and then exit. You should now have your Xbox progress in the Windows version, and the Steam save files will have been created.
Now just follow the steps in the reddit post to copy your save from Windows to Steam
If you want the DLC to work in the Steam version, yes, you would have to buy the DLC again on Steam. There is no cross-buy or cross-play for Steam, but the save files are compatible so you can use the method to at least transfer progress between the versions. It's unofficial and a little bit of effort, but it works.
I've gotten into the windows store, downloading now
Since you just got a PC, do make sure to turn on "Show file extensions" in the view tab of "Folder Options" in Windows. It will make it easier to edit the file names correctly so that the transfer works
This is very exciting
oy š
Howdy!
@rotund dagger 
Howdy!

Any DLC equipped in a save file will show up when you load that save file, even if you're loading that save file in a different version. However, if you ever select any other paint color or style you will not be able to select the DLC palint/style again in a version where you don't own the DLC.
So, in your case when you load up the Steam version, if you ever change off of a DLC style or color, you will not be able to select it again in the Steam version unless you buy the DLC on Steam as well or go through the steps to transfer saves back and forth to load a save with DLC already equipped
Shouldn't be a problem
Awesome
Not that I wouldn't be more than happy to support this game in any way I can, I just don't have the funds to buy everything all over again
It's kind of an unintended bonus to the unofficial, but not discouraged, progress transfer method
I also made a tutorial for the save transfers (probably not as good as the pinned one if I were to guess), back when I was bugged about it for almost a year (figured it out back in 2018).
https://discordapp.com/channels/257785731072786435/402907500619497503/639562023797129266
I haven't played since update 30 (1.0), it'll be nice to see all the new stuff
Two weeks from today Steam should be getting Update 33, with two brand new biomes
Amongst other nice stuff
It's called generic hero, it has every weapon and tool
There is that DRG Historian guy on YouTube who looks into DRG secrets, some pretty cool stuff, like how certain old updates had different things, how the game changed overall update to update, how minerals changed like that purple rare one used to be yellow
I think he said the Devs probably don't bother using it anymore in recent updates
it's more for testing stuff
Oh yeah Acid Spitter Queen was a thing
Used to be a rocket launcher but that became grenade launcher instead, it was huge lol

I wish developers would release insider builds on Xbox/windows either using insider app or some kind of website to sideload the app on windows then sideload from windows to Xbox if that person has an Xbox also and yes itās possible to sideload apps/games on windows 10 and Xbox
Gonna be getting a few rounds going on Xbox if anyone's looking to join go ahead and @ me
imma sideload you nibs
just had Error Cube and Bittergem in same level

Supposedly being fixed next update on the 11th
:D
Although they mentioned there will likely be one final reset when it happens
I can't find the message so it's possible I'm just misremembering
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a hopefully minor issue I am currently having on the windows 10 version of the game. It's just not launching whenever I click the launch button in the store and when I search it on my computer. I've also tried running it as an administrator and still nothing. Has anyone else also encountered this by chance?
Have you tried deleting the game and redownloading?
yes I have that didn't work either unfortunately
Now how do I know the messages DRG gives me are wrong. I know because I leave team and it says lost connection no free slots on team
@obtuse fiber Always has sometimes done that
i know even bjorn said those messages are incorrect and need to be changed to be correct @white prairie
Disgusting
@white prairie nice visual bug wallpaper lol
those growths got too much radiation lol
owwwww, get a load of these guys
I still hate the new down icon
A whole bunch of enemies were around a dead team mate and a warden, I couldn't not see the weakpoint at all cus of the stupid icon
Can we PLEASE have it as a option to turn off? Would be sooooo good
Alternatively, bind it with the Team UI overlay, so it can be made Dynamic.
Hey thatās me
Lol
And yeah, I couldnāt see anything because the warden kept throbbing around and I saw a huge down icon lol
All I could do was spam breach
@celest aurora I wouldn't mind it it fazed out when you look near the team mate
As long as it isn't intrusive

They said January 25 steam would be getting an experimental build of the new biomes, but what about Xbox insider build?
that you're getting the update feb 11
Need 1 more for regular DD, host Urrakka
@untold stratus they are no longer doing insider builds and dont ask what about #xbox-insider-discussion i did and i got scolded at rudely lol
Oh yeah, from my time playing this weekend I have noticed the zero grenade bug on my hud
Idk if I should take that to the bug channel or what not. But yknow
But, how do we test for bugs on console if thereās not going to be anymore insider builds
One time the game crashed every time it started up
We need to be sure it works
Lasted like 2-3 weeks after a post update patch made some changes
We should form an insider cult in protest of not having an insider build
The miners are going on strike
No cults >:[
@untold stratus only time we needed to test something in DRG was network frame rework and jacob said that windows/xbox gets a little more attention to QA testing then steam does
Banned
EDD anyone?
I'd like to, dunno if you're still playing
Why is the aspect ratio fucked
@quasi lintel if you're playing on xbox we have xbox specific voice pods
same deal really
if you give yourself the xbox/windows role from #welcome-and-rules it'll give you access to the channels
yes, for xbox and microsoft users
2 pods only
