How’s everyone doing today
Now I’m thinking thanksgiving or Christmas release date for us
Interesting 
@glossy echo Update 35 delayed until Q4
I already know
Currently have two deep dive slots open. Will do both regular and elite.
Hey
im bored with DRG
Anyone wanna play
Anyone wanna play
I never found the input to switch between turrets on controller is it even possible
I heard minecraft is nice
I’m bored with that until warden is released aka 1.18
I'm over here waiting for the terraria update on the 30th
EU - DDE 1 spot free (gunner pref)
its alright, really what would bring it more attention is a DRG Mod.
Thank you DRG devs for not pulling the plug on Xbox Ik we don’t have that big of a community but we love the game and thank you for the continued support!!
You guys are pretty cool, ngl
Xbox homies love Drg.
Exactly
I love how the game is so chill yet intense
It’s not just another run around and kill every thing that moves type game
Right! Some of the things, like Cave Leeches and Spitball Infectors, don't move! Amazing! 😆
Its a glorious game fer sure
But seriously, I also love that it's not just constant run-and-gun. The objectives mixed with the procedural generation make every mission kinda its own little puzzle to solve
The only downside for me is the crazy grind to get promotions, with no real chill way to play its rough if you fail
Which means running the safest shit instead of what might be the most chaotic, but thats a thing that most players dont suffer from as promotion 1 is all that matters outside of achievements
You have full control over the difficulty though. It can be as chill as you want it to be
Set it down to Haz 1 and turn on the Thorns perk, and you don't even have to fire a shot
There is no way for chill and good xp to meet
Which if you compare just the lvling grind to many other games makes it tedious
I mean, good XP is really just doing as many missions as fast as possible. If a mission takes longer because it's harder, it's often not going to be worth the difficulty bonus
Completing primary and secondary objectives and getting out as fast as possible is the fastest way to level. I bet the sweet spot is about Haz 2, maybe 3, ignoring most enemies and nitra, and just speeding through objectives
That said, the long 400-Morkite missions with Dark Morkite beer and Double XP are a real good chunk of XP when everything lines up
I need to read up on the meta setups
@fierce dagger @rotund dagger what’s y’all GTs we could play sometime
My discord name is my GT
Oh nice
Exact same as here. I'm not on as much these days, but I suspect that'll change a bit before too long
Nice!
Diablo 2 res finished dling earlier 😉
But still trying to get some of the cheevos done in this, waiting on EDD rng to line up
What's the EDD achievement that you need to line up?
Beat it lol
Ive only really tried EDD with some friends, aussie host and 330 ping lol
Omg lol
Possible, of course, but it can make things rough, yeah
Most EDDs are roughly equal difficulty, but some really are worse. You want at least 3 people, as they're harder as a duo; if one person goes down the remaining person is the only target for all the bugs which makes revives tough
Driller, Engineer, Scout combo is quickest at getting around and getting to objectives. Scout won't be great at clearing enemies, but the mobility more than makes up for it, and Driller and Engineer will clean up bugs quite nicely
That said, a good Gunner is nothing to dismiss from the mix. I'm just not a good Gunner, haha
We had Scout/Engi/Gunner last time
Last difficulty cheevo i need after that its w/e until gold promos
Drills are so good for getting everyone around... well through
Makes extractions a breeze
Oh no doubt, massive TD fan tho so i love my engi lol
The Engi-Scout combo for getting objectives, nitra, whatever is incredibly useful. To be sure, EDDs can be done without a Driller, but I feel that a competent Driller increases your odds of success significantly. A Driller can kill more than a Gunner and can get themself and everyone else around way quicker
But most importantly for increasing your odds is just having at least three solid players
So many weeks of failing an EDD multiple times as a duo, to then have another friend be able to join and we finish it first try without breaking a sweat
Granted, having played them multiple times and having developed a strategy helps significantly, but it really does feel easier with three than with two
Wow it got busy in here lol
"Get busy livin', or get busy mining."
The one other thing I gotta praise wthin the procedural Generation for DRG is how it rolls what mix of enemies you're gonna get and at what intensity. I've had some H5's with less enemies than some H3's, and had plenty of 3's with absolutely heinous spawns of hordes. It's a fantastic touch that keeps it fresh for sure
@wind olive if you wanna play I’ll message you when I get home after work
I’ll be like 2 hours
If anybody wants to play DRG just ping me as I’ll be eating dinner first then playing call of duty Cold War zombies
Anyone up tomorrow at 10am EST I'll be available to play with. Send me a DM with your interest. Up for anything Haz2/3.
Unfortunately 7am is too early for me lol
If anybody wants to play I can join in about 2-3 hours
11/4/21 1-2 weeks after is Xbox/windows unless that date is for both platform releases lol
Getting ready for school
Ok
@magic pewter this sounds badass
November is my guess for the update
@snow light I can play now
anybody want help
Just ping me if anybody needs help as I’ll be playing satisfactory
Does anyone know if theres a way to transfer my xbox one save to steam
Yep, check the pinned messages in this channel for instructions. I'm pretty sure you'll have to install and launch the Microsoft Store version to sync and download your Xbox cloud save before you can copy the save file over. Figure I'd mention that just in case the instructions don't
So does that mean i have to buy it on windows?
Nope! DRG is a Play Anywhere title, so you can buy it once from either the Xbox Store on console or the Microsoft Store on PC and then play it on either console or Windows PC whenever you like
Steam is not included, as it's a different service, so you will have to buy it again on Steam if you wish to copy your save for use with the Steam version
Yeah i already bought it on steam so thanks
No problem at all!
@rotund dagger so for me on the "your username" it just says public and user again got any idea as to what to do
I'm not sure what you're looking at exactly, but you will need to log into your Xbox account in Windows. You can do that by opening the Xbox app (click Start and type "Xbox" without quotes)
looking for friends to play on xbox with, am new player learning the ropes
Welcome! It's maybe a little quiet around here, but here's the place to try and find folks on Xbox. If you like, you can give yourself the Xbox role in the #welcome-and-rules channel (look for "Platform Role Assignment"), and that will give you access to the dedicated Xbox/Windows voice channels. Sometimes folks will jump in there to group up
Thanks
You guys do know they put the release date on reddit right?
They certainly did put a date on reddit
oh don't start that nonsense again. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the date.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's the date for the 'full reveal' stream, and the actual update follows a week or two later
I just checked reddit. We have to wait until April 21st, 3011? I know they said it is going to be the biggest update yet, but they must be making it way bigger than I thought...
I was thinking that too, but then I realized that April 3011 is Q4 of the millennium since DRG's release date
Either way, after 989 years, few more months of waiting is nothing
We don't want them to rush anything. If Jacob's great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandson says this'll help them make a better product, then it's understandable
Absolutely! We're looking forward to a good update when it's ready, not just because it's some arbitrary date on a calendar. It's just a smart move. And hey, if somehow it all comes together before April 3011, then it'll be a nice surprise for everyone!
He’s a good kid.
I've heard nothing but nice things
it would have been so easy to just say 11/11, but nooo jacob had to make it confusing
It wouldn't need to be confusing if people could stop being cowards and all switch to yyyy mm dd
But it's true that day or month first makes a bit more intuitive sense in terms of what's most important to communicate, as I think most of us know what year it is
i can tell your younger than 35 by that comment
i oftentime forget what year it is and how old i am
It would be easy if everybody didn’t use daylight savings time
XD sounding like my dad
But yeah please take time on updates. Last thing we need is a cave leach clipping through the ground lmao
And another thing is my friend who’s only allowed to play on the weekends is really struggling to level up any advice?
There's not really a "this is always the fastest way" answer, but you want to try to get the primary and secondary objectives completed and get out as fast as possible. Your main chunk of XP per mission comes from completing the two objectives, everything else (minerals mined, etc.) is just a little bonus.
So, if you have a limited amount of play time available:
- Set the Hazard Level so that it makes completing missions highly successful, probably Haz 2 if you're just starting out, but don't be too proud to do Haz 1 if you're just worried about leveling up. Haz 1 is very easy, but you are extremely unlikely to fail, which means guaranteed XP. The bonus XP for higher difficulties means very little if you don't complete the mission.
- Choose short missions with objectives that are quicker to complete, like 200 Morkite or 4 Eggs; you do get more XP from longer missions, but if you can complete two short missions in the same time as a long mission, you'll probably have earned more XP from the two short missions.
- Do not be afraid to complete only the primary objective and get out if the secondary objective is proving to be time consuming. You only need to complete the primary objective to be able to call for Extraction. The secondary objective XP is usually worth a few minutes, but not if takes so long that you could have done most of another mission in the same amount of time.
- Probably try to avoid Escort Missions as they typically take the longest and are probably a little harder.
- Always go for the 2x XP missions that follow the above guidelines.
- And if you're really trying to get to Level 25 for promotion as fast as possible, ignore the Assignment missions and follow the above guidelines.
TL;DR - Get in and out of missions as fast at possible on an easy difficulty
No problem at all!
Now, all that said, it's probably not the most fun way to play, but it's probably the most reliable way to get XP
Bet
And if you're rushing to Level 25 for that first promotion, you can relax after the promotion and play however you want since later promotions only unlock cosmetics
Gotcha
If you're really just trying to grind level, point extraction can be done very quickly with a group of drillers and one scout. But the only level threshold that actually matters is red lvl 25, which you'll reach in fairly short order just by picking missions you have a low chance of failing as Mako suggests
Failing a mission you've spent 30+ minutes on happens when you're adjusting to higher difficulties. While I definitely encourage people to step outside their comfort zone, if a lack of progression is stressful, that can really not feel good
Point Extractions are pretty quick, but can be a bit more challenging enemy-wise. If you play at a safe Hazard Level they shouldn't be too bad and will probably be quite fun. On high Hazard Levels they can sometimes be just a little bit stressful
I specifically mention the drillers + scout comp, as that usually enables a team that's working quickly to get out before the first wave comes
And if not, scout can grab nitra while fighting
Oh yeah, you can run through with a full squad real quick. Point Extract is still my favorite
I don't personally enjoy grinding level like that, but I can't deny that it's effective
Yeah, we leveled up long before there was a huge reason to grind quickly and even if we hadn't, we'd get there when we get there, but I've been lucky to have free time to do it. I totally understand folks who want to get there and don't have time to take it's most natural pace
I will still use dd mm yyyy and nobody will stop me! >:D
Today is 9/24/2021
ANGRY LAMBENT NOISES
Having a weird drg experience today, I was kicked and accused of bailing a game with people I haven’t even played with on a match I wasn’t even apart of
A troll host or something
Funny, I was under the impression that it was 20210924 today
Apparently i have a clone
That's fun!
Because someone with my exact gamertag was playing a salvage op i wasn’t aware of until i joined
Or so the host who kicked me for no real reason says
Either that or someone has a similar name to me
Could be a similar name, but I think Microsoft did change the gamertag rules to add a unique ID number on the end of a gamertag to allow for same names similar to how Discord does it
Yeah, I looked it up and no one has my exact name
Except me
The host is probably just a leaf loving troll
Ding dang trolls, always trollin' up the joint!
I bet it was nibbles. Let's blame nibbles
I would say the hosts name but im pretty sure that would be witchhunting
Ding dang nibbles, always nibblin' up the joint!
Hey
Holy shit halo 3 rat
Anyone wanna play on xbox?
everytime someone blames me i should get 5 dollars in xbox gift cards from that person lol
I like that idea.
I've been trying to crossplay on Xbox and windows and we are having trouble. On the windows side it's stuck on forever joining game, any ideas?
I know you this isn't getting ro you quickly, but there are a few things to try when that happens.
First, have everyone who is trying to play together exit Deep Rock. Have everyone check their system time to make sure it is correct (set to update automatically). If a system time is incorrect it will prevent you from being able to connect.
Next, have everyone launch Deep Rock within a few minutes of each other. Wait until you are loaded into the space rig and are able to run around before inviting or joining. Even if system times are correct, Deep Rock sessions occasionally become out-of-sync and unjoinable after the game has been running for a while (sometimes as short as one mission and sometimes as long as several hours before this happens). Exiting Deep Rock and relaunching within a few minutes of each other will fix the desync and allow inviting and joining. If the exiting and relaunching doesn't work the first time, have everyone reboot their systems, and try relaunching within a few minutes of each other again.
If these things don't do it, there is some info about some account settings to check in the pinned messages in this channel.
Hopefully this helps!
Thank you very much I didn't consider these I'll check all the things suggested
So I gonna buy Xbox series X can I discuss it here?
This is a very good answer for others having this issue
yes what questions do u have as i own an xbox series x
i might know what some questions you have and yes it runs at a solid 58-60 FPS and no its not optimized for xbox seriesX/S yet
Looking for two people to help get the Car Pool achievement. Were on xbox and in a party.
My gamertag is MongrelFiber671
DM me on discord or message me on Xbox.
Oh I just wanna know that, thanks.
@nimble lake #xbox-and-windows-store message
Oh jesus.
But it is fine, 58 to 60 fps is enough for me.
Its pretty much stuck at 60fps, unless you look out the window in the launch bay
You still looking?
Yo I’m online
Anyone wanna join a DD on Xbox? Preferably scout
I’m wondering is it possible to get 2 save files for windows/Xbox so veteran players can start fresh without resetting character
Probably doing the deep dives in a by if anyone wants in. Got 2.
Wow a developer playing DRG on windows build that’s something I’ve never seen before
Ha! I'm actually not a developer.
That's definitely something s developer would say..
I’m just spitballing here(pun intended) but whenever I see a developer/QA play on windows build that might mean it’s close to releasing seeing how that might mean steam version is already to release.
I mean, you have the date for Steam already, so I guess there’s hope.
The hope would be better if that date included windows/Xbox build
But thankfully I’ll be playing Icarus once it releases
I’m in need of support. I’ve had this issue for months now. Something happend to my game, when I launch the game it won’t load past the white guy who’s running, he keeps running until the screen goes black and then I have to Ctrl+alt+Del to end task. This issue has been consistent for a few months. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but the issue is still there, I have tried to mess with the firewall settings but I don’t know what I’m doing there and I have disabled my windows defender and tried to launch the game but it didn’t work. I’m using steam and that is the platform which isn’t working, however, I also have xbox gamepass ultimate and when I installed the game through gamepass it worked just fine. I don’t want to use gamepass though. I have purchased this game for myself and my two kids, to play together.
Can you help me?
Not sure how much help I can be, but there's a few things I'd try if I was experiencing the same thing:
In Steam, if you're looking at your library of games, you can right click a game and select the "Properties" option. Then select the "Local Files" option. Here, you can click "Verify integrity of game files..." which should begin double-checking that all files are correct and up to date.
If that doesn't work, I'd try uninstalling, and then manually making sure all files are well and truly gone, including save files, before reinstalling
I'm not sure how likely this is, but it certainly seems within the realm of possibility that your save file is corrupt, and when the game tries to load your save, it gets stuck. If it is getting stuck on your save file, deleting it would get the game to load again, I would think
By the way, you may be able to find more Steam version specific help in the #drg-chat or possibly the #bug-discussion channels. I can't say for certain as I don't check those channels much, but this channel is mostly focused on the Xbox and Microsoft Store versions. Certainly no harm in asking here too, and it can be a little confusing because the channel name says windows, but you may find more people who have experienced what you're experiencing in the more Steam-focused sections
I have done the verifying of files but I haven’t tried deleting everything. The game is currently uninstalled from my system. How do I find all the files I need to delete?
I'm not sure what Steam leaves behind after an uninstall, but I'd check in the folder you've set for Steam installs
Ok I will post my issue there as well.
I will do that.
Default folder is probably C:\Program Files\SteamLibrary, maybe? I've changed mine to be a second hard drive, and I can't recall what is default
I mean if your still up for it
Alr one second
You wanna do a vc or nah?
I need to do some fiddling around and see why DRG is only getting about 50-90 FPS on my AMD 5900X
Today I lost right at the end of a solo escort duty after spending almost an hour in the mission
Lost because I had to take a zipline to cross a large pit and a mactera came out of nowhere and shot me down, had no more zip lines, no nitra, and was in the rez so it took 3 pick swings to break the ground
And all I got out of it was a weapon paintjob set and this lousy t-shirt
And I'll come back and do it all again next time I play
it can get brutal in the mines
I lost an arm and a leg in the war against the Glyphids…
I lost my mind but to be fair I lost it long before DRG lol
its not out yet
hopefully out nov 4th, and then roughly 2 weeks laters its on xbox/win10, so we can assure the quality of it
Neat
Havent played in a while due to running out of beer so hopefully i’ll have some for the update
A visual recreation of nibbles mind after the battle of DRG. (Circa 2019 colorized)
I’m oily oaf crazy I love that beer 
I’m smart stout crazy lol

I’m Mactera Brew
Karl approves
Oi Lloyd! A round of Flintlocks please, we're mightyy thirstaayy
Real talk tho Flintlocks are why I dig
Definitely lad
By my beard the terraria Xbox channel is blowing up
You know it lad rock and stone to the bone!
@magic pewter can we please get a tab in the discord to put our profiles in like how PC has #steam-profile-sharing? Would be much appreciated
Especially with 0 grav
@wind olive be fore warned pinging any dev or mods could result in some bad luck in life.
Just for a selected few.
Maybe you should create a new role called on the list for that select few lol
Oh I didn’t know my bad
That’s ok I know because I’m on that list of select few lol @wind olive
Lol
It got worse when I was testing DRG insider for better multiplayer connections
Oof
Great idea
Has anyone transferred a steam save to MS and had a TEST victory animation show up and its just the swarmer infestation VA?
I feel like I've seen a little weirdness like that once, but I can't recall the details
Although I do think in my case it was caused by moving saves in the opposite direction, from Windows to Steam
I just found a bug we were on hazard 5 2 out of the 3 people went down that had iron will the scout was alive and fighting and iron will counted down to 0 and it said we failed mission while scout was still alive
anyone wanna play?
is there an issue currently with joining peoples games on xbox? mine today is just a spinning joining symbol with no action.
Try restarting the app or uninstall the game. Fixes a solid 2.3% of issues 
Ive been having a lot of problems getting drg on my pc to run, friend told me to come here.
So first i have to install some game services thing (which i think happened) and then drg wasnt running so i decided to un/reinstall the game
Now it wont install, im downloading some updates for my pc (so that it'll install) but im not very confidant that it will work
Was wondering if anyones had this same problem and if im just screwed
You're using the version from the Microsoft Store? Sounds like you're in the process of checking for Windows updates, which would be my recommendation, and it wouldn't hurt to look for graphics card driver updates if you haven't done those in a while just to be safe.
Speaking of graphics card updates, it's important to make sure you meet the minimum specs required for DRG. I don't recall of the top of my head the minimum graphics requirements -- they're relatively light -- but some integrated graphics might not meet the minimum.
Then, there are some more advanced things to try, like Windows tools to make sure your Windows install is working correctly. I think searching "windows sfc" should get you info on using the Windows System File Checker, which might help if things are really messed up.
i know i meet the specs, ill try the third option
If all else fails, a clean install of Windows should fix any issue that isn't hardware-related. It's not the most fun option, but it's pretty reliable
Exiting the game completely and relaunching can fix that if it's a session desync issue (which can happen after random amounts of time), and if it doesn't a system reboot usually gets things going again. Definitely check your system time if the reboot doesn't work. If your system time is set incorrectly it can cause problems with joining games
tried that a few times still no fix. i can host publicly but can;t join others. just sits there spinning for 15 mins till i close out of it.
The people you are trying to join may have desync'd, which means they'd have to be the ones to exit and relaunch
To make things quicker, when playing with friends on comms, just have everyone exit and relaunch, but when playing with random folks that's a bit more complicated to coordinate
A hearty "Rock and Stone!" can do a lot, but it's not well suited to communicate "let's all restart real quick"
actually it was none specific people. i've tried joining about 4 diffrent missions from the server list....its a weird one :/
Can you join specific people?
not tried. no friends online to test rn
Totally understand. If I wasn't at work I'd help you give it a test, just to try to get some kind of answer
ill test it out later and let you know. people should be online soon 🙂
Anyone wanna run some missions? Lvl 250 Engi main but I’ll play any class
I would but I’m on a time crunch to finish a gazebo before the day ends
hey can someone whos been playing this for a while help me out
im a very long time fan of the game and will praise it till the end of time, i used to play xbox, but now im pc, ive been having a issuse for a while now that makes it hard to play
ive done almost all debug options, but as i play DRG on pc with the xbox compatible version, very rarely and somewhat on/off but has beed the downfalll of some games, my mouse will continue to track... but the mouse buttons will refuse to work, and i can click away and when the system feels like ive suffered enough my mouse will work again, i use logitech G502 lightspeed, but ivve also had this issue on my G703 lightspeed
Algún español que quiera jugar?
English please

I'd you're referring to the issue where you're holding down the mouse button and you stop firing your weapon and have to release the mouse button and click it again to start firing again, or similar types of events to that (using the grappling hook as scout, etc.), I'm not aware of a fix and I'm not sure what causes it. It happens infrequently, but feels bad every time it happens. I've not noticed a pattern to it, so finding the problem might be hard to do since it's not easily reproduced.
It is a very brief, but quite disruptive, interruption to the action. It feels like the game just loses the input for a moment, a second or less, and then everything is normal again.
So I'm afraid I don't have a good answer for you, but if your issue is worse than what I've described, I will suggest that you make sure your device drivers are installed (since you have a Logitech mouse usually that means installing Logitech gaming software), but if that were the case you'd likely notice the issue happening in other games and even out of games.
I suggest cursing when it happens. It doesn't fix the problem, but it makes me feel a little better...
😆 this is the issue i seem to have, but it was affecting every button on the mouse and it was for up to several seconds of mouse tracking but not other input
i do usally curse, it seems to only happen when i really need to be hitting my shots, and yea im a huge scout main
it only happens in DGR, no other game has ever done this
Yeah, it's an issue with the Microsoft Store version. Myself and a friend usually experience it at least once every time we play.
We transitioned to running Haz 3 for the fun with random folks and the chill time with just a touch of challenge (not paying attention can still be fatal, but rarely is it fatal to the whole crew), so when it happens it's not terribly stressful for us, but on higher Hazard Levels or Deep Dives it's nerve-wracking, to be sure
me and my friend play Haz 4 and deep dives, and we have lost some games to this
That’s the reason why I use a controller
Disgosteng
@meager pawn you never play on microsoft version so you would not know the hardship of bugs and problems vs steam version
only good gifs
@magic pewter do u plan on playing icarus
I never got good with a controller, so even with the mouse hiccupping infrequently, I do better than I would with a controller. I really do appreciate having various control options, though
i want a walking ball sphere as a control option
close enough, https://youtu.be/BNFR4L8psfg
I support any input device that allows a person to enjoy a good game, so walking ball sphere away, nibbles!
Haz 4 is such a good sweet spot of challenge and feeling like a badass dwarf, but one toddler and one old, but very good, pup may pull one or another of us away at a moment's notice, so Haz 3 has been a perfect compromise to real life, haha. Plus, it encouraged us to open the party to random folks, which at times may make the mission more challenging, but rarely fails to make things more entertaining
Are there any smaller drg severs?
don't know what it is
googled it. Looks fun
people finally came online. works now. i think playing a few games as host kicked iit into working again XD
NVM its happening again XD...its very inconsistant
looking for some awesome dwarves for this weeks edd
i can join if you like
if u play it just make sure your house doesnt burn down lol
DRG got free marketing when a reviewer was playing icarus, I’ve been craving a new multiplayer survival game to help me get through lockdown. I don’t like to think how many hours I’ve spent preparing meals, gathering resources, and grinding through daily life while trying to stay safe – let alone all the survival games I played. I’ve clocked 120 hours in Valheim, torn through the spider-infested mines of Deep Rock Galactic, and cursed at the gruelling, oppressive challenge of Don’t Starve Together. All great, sometimes harrowing experiences, and now Icarus – the latest survival game from DayZ creator Dean Hall – is just around the corner.
Is that also gonna be in beta state for its entire lifespan?
Reincarnation7 on Gunfire Reborn awaits you then
if your talking about icarus it releases this novemeber
So how does one find other xbone/win10 users here to play? You just come here and say "hi come play" or...?
Seeing as you can't make looking for group posts on pc like you can xbox
That’s basically what you do. Just drop a message or something here and somebody might respond
yo yo
Anyone here can help me do my first elite deep dive?
I am pretty new to the game, only have done 3 dives if anyone wants to play
anyone know how to set a waypoint on Xbox like you can with pressing D on keyboard?
Isn't it press whatever your "Interact" button is while pointing the laser at the place you want to waypoint? I'll feel dumb if I'm wrong, haha
LB and X
Hey bjorn can Microsoft users at least get a modified version of mod DRG and we can get 2 save files so we can have a main save file and a secondary save file that’s labeled for offline saving so it doesn’t conflict with Xbox saving
<@&296918282403840000> scam or possibly scamola above
TY
Hold LB and Press X, can only have one waypoint at a time
Also shows up on your map as a blue dot
man i cant wait im so to speak waiting in download Queue for windows 11
hey bjorn or any devs is DRG nicer on windows 10 or windows 11
for coding wise and feature add ons
im really hoping windows 11 is a little more open in store wise to allow more stuff to be added to games since android will be making its way to windows 11 in the future
ew windows 11
EW @unreal radish I’m in queue for windows 11 now
Ew, ews.
Ew, a bug
If anybody wants I can give my take on windows 11 when I get it
Xbox will get a modified version of windows 11 in the future @tropic bone
Right now Xbox runs on a modified version of windows 10
i game check for bugs and watch youtube videos on my computer
windows 11 review in progress website, https://www.ign.com/articles/windows-11-review
I don't think I've had one bug playing DRG
Not that I remember anyway
ive had lots but ive been playing since day 1 game preview
Wait, I thought you were a steamer invading this place.
to be honest after the update that introduced us to deep dives is when the game went downhill but after the network framework rework its gotten a lot better
Yes you
Nope
@tropic bone windows 11 reminds me if Mac and Linux had a child together with android just watching for now
Lmaooo
perfect review post here, While the first general release of Windows 11 will include features like a more streamlined, Mac-like design, an updated Start menu, new multitasking tools and integrated Microsoft Teams, it will not include one of the most anticipated updates: support for Android mobile apps in its new app store. Microsoft also didn't offer a date for when Android apps would be available either, other than saying that they would roll out in a "preview" test "over the coming months," according to the post.
if anybody wants to play DRG i can join the game just ping me as ill be in icarus discord server
Is there any fix to the audio/visual bug during triangulation sections?
I'm assuming you mean during the "remain close to the uplink/fuel" sections of Salvage missions? The bug where game audio stays low like the voice line is playing and the text box remains on screen even after the voice line is done? I've not seen it myself as it only affects Xbox players, so I hope I'm thinking of the right thing.
I've never tried it myself (been a while since anyone I've played with mentioned it happening), but I believe someone once mentioned that if you leave the zone and go back in, it might fix it. They may have meant that everyone needs to leave the zone, because that will trigger Mission Control to warn everyone to stay close to the zone. It seems possible that the warning message may unstick whatever gets stuck with the main message, but I can't verify that
So a bit of a sketchy solution
Its kinda annoying to have muffled audio and the text on the screen
Less sketchy if you are on voice chat with the folks you're playing with and can fully communicate the problem and solution: "everyone step out and then back in on the count of three..."
But yeah, if you're not on comms with folks, you'll probably not pull it off
Coordinating a synchronized manuever like that without communication would be practically impossible
it happened to me but the weirdest thing happened i enabled dolby audio on my xbox series X and it never happened again
Will have to check when i play with people later
Its like a reversed doretta glitch lol
Pod 1 doing haz 5 on whatever mission
how is the game on win 11 nibbles
why is nibbles ignoring me 😦
I’ll save you!
Also, I think it’s super late at night where he lives.
Anyways, how you doing Bjorn?
my side hurt, kid practiced ninjitsu on me during the night
Ouch
iam also trying to convince christoffer to build me a 100% RGB work computer
That would definitely make you the best employee at GSG
You’d be a wolf amongst sheep
Shiny lights
i will be a god among mortal men, coders will tremble in fear as i aproach, patch notes will write themselves in terror of my light
rgb stinks
a heretic, he will burn by glorious light
Sounds like Bjorn is starting a cult
expanding, it has already begun
We’re doomed
get the cmyk outta here, Tater
Bjorn shall rise and dominate GSG. I will provide him legions of bugs.
bjorn cult ?

Hello
We all know that RGB results in:
+10 to "cool" factor
+10% to FPS
+10 Δt over ambient
bonus points if it's all glass with no front intake vents
anyone around for DD's
I wouldn’t know as I updated one computer I have to windows 11 and it can’t play DRG but windows 11 is like if Mac and Linux had a baby while android watched
Before anybody asks I have 3 desktop computers 2 laptops and 1 netbook
the gamepass version of drg only runs at 60fps?
i recently got a new monitor, but when i turn vsync on, runs at 60 fps
maybe that ¡s just your hardware, i never got drops on my 60hz monitor before
I play on Xbox
well that explains that
gotta make a custom res and see if that solves it
Your new monitor is higher than 60hz and V-Sync still locks it to 60fps?
What fps do you get if you turn V-Sync off?
If it's less than 120fps, V-Sync is likely locking to 60fps because that's the highest stable sync'd rate the game can do
90fps without vsync off, guess thats how vsync works
Yeah, without a variable refresh rate display V-Sync will lock to multiples of the native refresh rate, so a 120hz monitor will lock at 120fps if fps is above that, or 60fps if below that. It can even lock at 1/4 of the refresh rate, so 30fps, if performance is below 60fps
if I low the res should it cap to 75hz? because I think drg will have fps drops on my hardware.
I can maintain 60fps, but don't know about 75 when a lot on bugs are on the screen, I will try.
Give it a try and see how it does. V-Sync just gets rid of the screen tearing effect, but you don't have to use it. But sometimes a locked framerate is nice fore the consistency
yeah, i put it at 900p and lock the fps to get rid of the imput lag, now it runs at 75fps without problems
Sounds like a good way to do it!
StoicMako MVP
EW 900p. I like 2160p at random FPS from 40 to 120
those 40 fps looking good on a 144hz monitor
How do you get roles 😟
Everyone has different priorities when it comes to displays. There is no right way for everyone, just a matter of preference and accessibility
You can give yourself the Xbox role in the #welcome-and-rules channel under Platform Role Assignment. You can also select favorite class roles there. The Union roles are applied automatically, but Unions are only available in the Steam version
I'm not sure if there's technical limitations to the Union stuff as well, but since Discord likely isn't used by a majority of Xbox players, because it's not able to be natively run on the console, the Discord integration is probably low priority. I know the recent Edge browser update on Xbox now allows you to access Discord from the browser, but it still doesn't work for voice chat, so I don't expect console usage to increase significantly. Maybe one day...
You can easily just run discord on your phone for calls
I don’t really care about roles
Just was wondering
Definitely been there with Discord on the phone, but it's been far less reliable and consistent in my experience. It is an option though, but one probably not many want to mess with when the console has a built-in solution
stupid me my computer is ready for windows 11 on my gaming pc and i went to install it but it failed turns out i forgot to update my bios lol
I would get a pc but a quality one is a lot of money
And I honestly don’t play a ton of games
And the games I do play can run perfectly fine through Xbox
They've become very expensive lately, yeah, but before all of this you could get something that would play things like DRG quite well for the same price as a console
It's just a matter of preferences
Consoles are easier to deal with and more consistent
One of my friends who played on his laptop would always crash at least once every 3 missions
Yep. If you want something that's just gonna work (for the most part) and get you gaming, you can't really go wrong with a console
I would rather get a PlayStation 5
Well
I would rather get a pc
But it’s expensive
So the PS5 is the next best thing
And it has a lot of exclusives that I’m excited to play, most prominently Bloodborne.
I don’t know whether to play gunner or scout next
Easy. Alternate and get confused every mission
My engineer and driller just need overclocks but even with the different weapon builds I’m getting tired of playing the same two classes
Yeah
I like DRG, it will always hold a special place in my heart, but it’s getting a bit repetitive
It definitely has a ton of replay-ability
But the main concept of each mission remains the same
My friends quit it too so I mostly just play in random lobbies
DRG is getting boring for me just waiting for new weapons to release
You can’t not make a shooter repetitive
sneeze
Unless you update the game frequently
im close to level 1250
I’m literally only level 28

remember that @celest schooner is a weirdo lol
but remember im always annoying in here lol

pc health check app to see if your computer can handle windows 11, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11#pchealthcheck
Which app do I use to check if I'm ready for Windows 11?
windows update will tell you when its ready to install
@rotund dagger your computer meets requirements please wait in settings option
pc health check app can tell you if you are supported or what needs to be upgraded to be supported
But how do I know I'm ready? Do I need to check with my doctor?
yeah check with Dr.Mario running on windows 11 to see if your ready
if your not ready Marios game gallery will tell you when its open in windows 95
But how can I get to Dr. Mario on Windows 11 if I'm not ready for Windows 11? What if I can't handle the excitement?
then call Dr.Pepper to get a hold of Dr.Mario
make sure to call Dr.Pepper on top of Mountain Dew
and after yell out yoohoo
But Dr. Pepper is about 12 more flavors than Windows 11. That's more than double the excitement. Your advice seems dangerous!
then eat KFC to end it
how did we go from anybody wanting to know if they can handle windows 11 to eating KFC
Just lucky, I guess...
i guess you can eat KFC while installing windows 11 lol
Dr. Lambentcy is in the chat room.
r u a Dr or a lord
Doc? Is Windows 11 right for me?How do I know if I'm ready for Windows 11?
You’ll know you are ready when you see words in the announcements section of a Discord server. I can help you see this better with a lasik lobotomy, only 15 oily oafs.
Dr. Lord
id like to see some paperwork stating you can be a Dr.Lord
We don’t talk about that part
im hoping update 35 finally includes that xbox headwear lol
R we getting the hotfix that fixes player rank stretching after passing rank 999
Can we just get this instead?
Plz no
too late, it's happening
starting friday night ill be off discord for the whole weekend and monday due to beta testing icarus
so this weekend start the party
HEY JACOB! Ya hear that? No nibbles for the weekend!
Reeeeeeee
So I'm branching out into the other classes and giving Driller a shot. I got the plasma charger and wanted to attempt to use it to dig minerals as I've seen other drillers do. I know to use the Thin Containment Field, but is there an overclock that may make the timing of the ordeal a bit easier?
Like, I can hit the shot and make it work, but it feels very clunky.
I'm pretty sure it's been nerfed
The "nerf" is that minerals now bounce around instead of falling neatly in a pile once blasted off the wall. The function of the mod itself wasn't really changed
As for making it easier to hit, you may find it easier with the projectile speed increase mod toggled off
But depending on preference, you could also find it easier with the faster speed
Really it just takes practice, as it is indeed quite clunky
thanks for the info
the xbox pod is closed, can someone open it so I can find some miners?
They're not closed, they're just locked for people without the Xbox role. You can give yourself the Xbox role in the #welcome-and-rules channel. Look for "Platform Role Assignment"

and i thought DRG was buggy before update 31.5, icarus is load in play and after a while game freezes and crashes, casually cusses out unreal game engine
DRG is buggy, but you can shoot almost all of them, so it ain't so bad. Icarus is first-release early access, so if you expected anything but bugs/crashes, you were fooling yourself. Come back to DRG, we have the fun bugs that'll really grab you and you can just let yourself get carried away in the good times...
Aaaaaahhh I like your bug puns :]
Good. 😁 I'd be upset if they were making you antsy
stop bugging me lol
honestly icarus is going to be great once they get it more stable
unreal game engine is terrible engine it seems like it at least when i play games with it lol
Wait, I thought you said we weren’t gonna see you this weekend?
yeah but beta for icarus is freezing and crashing on me and alot of other people almost unplayable right now
All engines are tools, and they try to be one-size-fits-most tools at that. It takes a lot of work to make a game, and using an existing engine can expedite the process, but you still have to build your custom stuff on top of that engine. That isn't always easy or straightforward; sometimes you have to build more tools or functionality from the scratch because they're not part of the engine.
That said, engines can have bugs, problems, and limitations, and working around those can be tricky or very time consuming
On a first-release of an early access game, they're gonna be throwing everything they got out there and seeing what works and what breaks. I bet they're scrambling to get things stabilized. Kinda wild to release something new in an alpha/beta stare just before the weekend...
icarus is on week 4 of beta testing and it releases betas every 2 weeks
it started in august
im confused Bjorn is online ????
Oh, I thought it was just coming out to the public, but I haven't been following it too closely. I've just seen a little coverage of it a few months ago
Anyone need help wit EDD or somthin I bored asf 🤤
hello, i have a question.
I didnt buy the game yet, because i wanna play with my friend who is on Xbox and I'm on PC . But if i buy the Steam version i'll not be able to play with him. Do i have to buy the Microsoft version ? would i be able to play with him without paying the xbox live ?
Please ping me or DM me to answer; thank you !
Yep, you have it correctly: you need to buy the version from the Microsoft Store to play with someone on Xbox. And you do not need to pay for Xbox Live Gold to play from PC
oh nice ! cause when i wanted to play sea of thieves i had to buy the xbox live gold for 1 month. But if it's not needed on DRG thats very cool !
thank you @rotund dagger
No problem at all! If any other questions pop up, just give a shout. Happy mining!
Hello lads
Howdy
I’m looking forward to the update
Me too!
Awesome
Do they have patch notes for update?
The #patch-notes-steam channel, or on Steam.
But there has not been an update for the Xbox and Windows versions for a while. Any recent patch notes you see there are pertaining only to the Steam version for the mod support update and subsequent hotfixes. When Update 35 comes out, in about 4 weeks (for the Steam version, at least), the patch notes for Update 35 will be posted and will be what we can look forward to when the Xbox/Windows version is ready (usually about two weeks after the Steam version)
Ty
4 weeks lads rock and stone!
Pray for non resetting
Achievements still aren't working properly for me even within this patch, so I wouldn't hold my breath on that one
Anyone on
Still waiting for bittergems to progress past 50%
That won’t happen
kinda wish there was someplace that told you when double xp missions were around
I have an issue, and maybe someone could assist.
This is a black screen issue. I own the game through steam, however am trying to play though the windows store. The game runs perfect on steam, no issue. However, the windows store version will go the loading screen with the man running, and then go black directly after.
I have cleared my window cache, I have updated windows, my GPU drivers are up to date, I even forced GPU scaling in-case it was a resolution issue.
Reinstalled multiple times, through both XBOX app and the windows store app. Any possible solutions would be amazing
Have attempted to delete the three movie files, however even after taking ownership of the folder AND using fileassassin they still will not delete.
I think i have figured out the issue. For whatever reason even though I "own" the folder I still can not use administrative access. This might be causing files to not write
how long have you tired waiting on the back screen for?
on my ancient pc sometimes it took a while to load in past the loading screen
I left it open when I went out last night, it was open for probably about 5 hours.
interesting. do you think that has anything to do with the black screen?
I've had ms store drg running for 9 hours but I was actively playing
Not sure. Still can't seem to find anything else out. Other games from windows store works, except totally accurate battle simulator also seems to crash on launch in the same way.
TABS uses unity, and DRG uses unreal so it couldn't be a releated issue like that
Just downloaded Celeste to see if it was an issue with Windows Store downloading, and the game runs fine.
So back to square 1 lmao
Hey anyone here wanna play?
Oh look its my nemesis.
hmm, real strange. keep us updated!
Hello lads
I've had a lot of trouble withthe wondows store version on PC. What has helped for me: go into the Add or Remove Programs menu, find DRG, click the "advanced options" and terminate it. Then find the Microsoft store in the same list, use advanced options to terminate it and reset it. Then go back to DRG in this list and repair it and reset it. Sometimes it works without the MS Store steps. And sometimes the MS Store troubleshooter has helped instead. That is accessible from the Windows troubleshooter menu under "more troubleshooters" or something like that.
So far, some combination of these steps has always eventually got me mining so I hope some of it helps. Rock and stone!
Can you play with people who bought from steam? Because I transferred mine from my xbox to my pc
Xbox and Windows are compatible, but Xbox/windows to Steam is not
Actually it is if the windows guy has the xbox app
i dont think GSG is ever going to make it full crossplay only between Xbox/windows, the only reason why xbox has crossplay with computer(microsoft store) version is because the player base is smaller
any OG DRG players know what this reminds you of
Those weird rock formations when there’s that one hidden link still on the rock.
Wrong floating minerals before they made it all break with no support
Dammit, these quizzes are impossible.
The microsoft version has it because the xbox is nothing more than a heavily locked down prebuilt windows 10 computer. Crossplay between steam and the microsoft copy would be an expensive endeavor in time, manpower, and cost of operating the independent servers to matchmake every single game.
Anyone wanna play some DRG?
what game is that
Probably RUST
nah rust looks worse
@elfin igloo Haven't had any luck yet with those steps either
thanks for the suggestions
It’s Icarus available in beta releasing in December from the maker of DayZ, Dean Hall
Definitely funny. https://youtu.be/iLBqc8w2IaA
Now I really want mods on windows version. https://youtu.be/bKoTtdA0waE
anyone wanna join me on my first deep dive?
Sure! My gamertag is the same as my nickname here if you wanna send me an invite
nvm filled with randoms pretty fast
Nice! Good luck 
Bummer. One other suggestion I'm still trying to remember. One time I had to input a command in the windows Power Shell that re-acquired all of my licenses from the MS store. Google says it was this: Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml"}
(everything starting from Get-App all the way through the weird bracket at the end, }. And you have to run powershell as an administrator.)
Is there crossplay?
there is cross-play between the xbox and microsoft store versions, but xbox players cannot cross-play with steam users
Xbox loves windows build, steam loves itself for gameplay aka steam to steam and windows version to xbox build
CROSS-PLAY INFO
The Xbox One / Windows 10 version from the Microsoft Store is an Xbox Play Anywhere Title. This means the following:
By buying the game from the Microsoft Store you own it on both Xbox One and Windows 10 Store (Microsoft Store).
The Game support Cross Platform Play. This means that the Xbox One and Windows 10 Store Version (Microsoft Store) are able to play together. IMPORTANT NOTE: This also means that you are NOT able to play with people, who have bought the STEAM version.
Your Progress is saved across Xbox One and Windows 10 Store version (Microsoft Store).
The Steam version does currently NOT support Cross Platform Play. This mean that you are NOT able to play with people who have bought the Xbox One/ Windows 10 Version (Microsoft Store).
Where is the merch?
we should have that crossplay info pinned in my opinion
Anyone who can't find this wasn't going to check the pins before asking anyway
https://www.deeprockgalactic.com/crossplay-info
tell them to check the pins and dont answer them about crossplay after telling them about checking pins
Have no friends some one play with me
anyone wana be my duo durring some chill missions high as a kite
How delayed are our updates usually?
Wdym?
I joined shortly after update 33, and didn’t pay much attention to update 34, since it largely didn’t affect us. But I heard that updates drop 2 weeks later for Microsoft store/Xbox players. This true?
From what I've heard, yep
Ah damn
Upside: more time to level up my green beard friends enough by then so they can also enjoy the new weapons
<@&296918282403840000> Scam alert
34.5 didn’t affect us*
Well
Emotionally it did, but you get what I mean
Ha lol yes
Hey guys, I have came across a few thunderhead users recently where the rate of fire seems way too fast to be considered the balanced overclock that gives you increased rate of fire. Is there a known epxloit regarding this? The loadout seemed absolutely insane to be legit, they also seemed to never reload either.
They might have a perk that reloads it for them
If they were using born ready they used it to the best ive seen. But im mainly referring to the rate of fire
was it sustained rof? or the buildup to max rof?
I want to uninstall and reinstall DRG on my Xbox. Will this delete my save game?
From the start it was the same speed throughout
Hmm, might have been the 225% rof growth mods and upgrades then
Using combat mobility and the increase rate to max rof mod, you can achieve 225%
Your save game should be saved in the cloud as well as locally, so it should be restored when you reinstall. If it doesn't restore automatically (it should), there is a Restore Save feature in the settings
Awesome thank you so much @rotund dagger 😊
Hey guys
Well I’m going back to sleep or something
well i lost game audio during gameplay and now i cant get it back
Where'd you have it last? Have you tried looking for it there?
weird thing is that the logo splash screen has audio but after that i have no audio
I assume you've already checked audio settings to make sure it's using the correct device and that nothing got muted
yeah i deleted game and reinstalling to see if its game related settings
reinstalling fixed it that was weird
whats weirder is that after reinstalling game i can alt tab without game going into window mode
pressing windows key keeps it in full screen before reinstalling it would go into a small window mode for game
When was the last time you reinstalled?
about 2-4 months ago i think
That's odd. I would have said if it's been a few updates that maybe something changed in an update that fixed that functionality but it never properly updated for you, but its been longer than that since anything changed, right? Deep Rock doing all the fun stuff tonight
we put out a pre-halloween patch, if you see the update lemme know 🙂
I got the update
It's alot brighter on the rig thought I accidently reset my settings for a minute
Something's off but I can't put my finger on it, feels like the draw distance was lowered? Lots of pop in I m already noticing it with boolo caps and thing like embedded jadiz only show up when I get close enough it never did that before..
Pretty sure I m not going crazy I could see aquarqs from this distance before, couldn't even see it when I ordered Bosco
ill keep an eye out
It's happening at around 40m. Noticeable on flowers too I had never seen anything pop in before even 100m away, if it did it was alot smoother
Whats the update for on xbox?
scroll up
It murders draw distance?
Ew
The lighting also looks weird. Maybe I just need some getting used to but it feels like someone just cranked my brightness all the way up so now all the areas that were previously black in the dark are now looking grey/white like there's a fog following me around.
Idk about Windows but we don't have brightness options on Xbox so can't adjust it
So yeah I messed around with my tv picture settings and was able to bring it close to how it previously was by decreasing the Blacklight effect and Contrast but I play DRG alot, it'd be annoying having to switch PIC mode everytime I alternate between games and watching tv. It's almost unplayable by default now I get blinded by the radiation crystals so much I m squinting
Investigating PC build...
Oh yeah someone cranked up the light lol
I asked a level 200 earlier and he didn t seem to notice
Could tell when i loaded into the rig
Brightness is painful to look at
On the Windows version, I can't tell a difference in the brightness in the first map I'm on, but I have noticed the pop-in. It seems to be that small decorative stuff like grass pops in and out, but for other things it's not the whole object popping in, just it's emissive lighting that appears to turn or fade on or off depending on distance. Some things I've noticed:
- Grass pops in/out around 55.6m
- Glowing bulb grass in Dense Biozone pops in/out around 63.9m
- Little pebbles on terrain pop in/out around 44m
- Boolo Cap glow fades in and out around 40m
- Aquarq wall indicator glow pops on/off around 60.6m
- Bismor glow pops in/out around 65.4m
- I managed to get over 125m away from Red Sugar without its glow fading
The aquarq from earlier wasn't as obvious as this. On Xbox the whole thing disappear not just it's glow
The radioactive crystal brightness does not seem brighter than before on the Windows version.
- Fossil glow remains on (but still quite hard to see) at least out to 65m
- Tumorous Growth glow pops off around 64.8m
I'm not surprised the Xbox version is looking a little different, but the pop-in is clearly noticeable in both versions. I agree that I don't think I've noticed pop-in like this prior to today's update
update lost my game audio again
im confused now we can click on the option to send data about crashes
is there some damn secret option to enable or disable dolby atmo on DRG because i noticed after i leave it on stereo option i lose sound in DRG
ok im done with DRG im not reinstalling it everytime just to get audio back and enjoy the game
i wonder if updating to windows 11 will fix it lol
I can't get it to look exactly how it was before without direct comparison, there's always something that looks off. Closest I can get is by reducing brightness by 30% on my Tv but it still doesn't look great
That's not great. You shouldn't have to adjust your "dialed-in to be good for (almost) anything" display settings all of a sudden. Hopefully the actual Halloween update can bring things back to normal.
The previous xbox update made the game darker, so I wouldn't mind it being just slightly lighter TBH
But perhaps this goes too far
But also, brightness/gamma slider(s) for xbox version? Please?
That's a real good idea
I also want specific sound settings like Dolby atmos surround sound and other types of sound options so I can get game audio back
I previously dialed my monitor brightness up a bit when the last update came out that made the game darker. As you say, it would definitely be preferable to do that in-game
Almost every game has a gamma and/or brightness slider, even on xbox, so it is a rather glaring omission in DRG's case
I know console games have extremely rarely provided extensive graphics settings, but brightness/gamma is in a great many console games
Ha, exactly
Sliders would be perfect but it's not that big of a deal if it was intended I can probably find an in-between by messing around with it a bit longer. The pop-ins are pretty bad tho
The pop-ins are distracting, and in some cases, like Boolo Caps, it can become harder to find objectives
Is there a new hat or Halloween decor?
Or is it just a Hotfix sorta thing atm
The update out today was said to be a "pre-halloween patch," so it sounds like we'll get the Halloween decor and any other possible Halloween-related surprises in an update closer to Halloween
I suspect this was just to bring us up-to-date with Steam, if there were any discrepancies, prior to all versions getting a Halloween update
In June 2020 I recorded an issue with some bad pop-in. Is it possible a similar issue has resurfaced?
Old issue, not current build ⬇️
https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/tracervullet/video/145127099
It's certainly possible to unexpectedly reintroduce old issues that have been resolved, but I absolutely cannot begin to guess how likely or unlikely that could be
Same. I just know that the lighting has been tweaked multiple times with recent patches, so I thought I might bring that up for comparison
The October update last year definitely made things darker than they were before that
Its good to make a note of for sure!! If this patch was a pretty much to bring us up-to-date with Steam prior to a Halloween patch, I can see how changing something that seems innocuous to reach parity might not have affected Steam, but has affected us or even just Xbox
Maybe it was Nov/Dec? I don't remember, but sometime around holiday 2020 I'm pretty sure was the patch that made our version darker
Xbox may be affected more because we can't adjust brightness like the PC windows build can
Maybe, but I didn't change anything at all when I loaded in, and for two missions I thought things looked similar to always except for the pop-in
That's purely anecdotal, though; I have nothing quantifiable to back that up with. I don't have recent video clips or screenshots to conpare. If I was smarter about it, I could have tried to load in without the update to try to get some data points for comparison
Nibbles is probably our best bet for documenting lighting before the update last year, after it, and now this current (possible) change
I know he really liked the darker caves
Can you play solo DRG with no internet connection? Or do you need to connect to the server to generate missions?
I've... never tried...
My xbox hasn't been connected to the internet since the update, so I can use the old build if I can keep it from recognizing that there's a new patch
I would think it would be possible to play solo without an internet connection, as long as it doesn't need to verify your license
It's the 30 minute mission refresh that I'd imagine might be done server-side, is the issue I see
I believe my xbox is set so that I can use the license offline. One of my Xboxes is, at the very least, but idk which one lol
Yeah, it could be an issue getting seeds, but the game could potentially generate its own seeds in the absence of an internet connection
I'll experiment tonight, I guess
I just pulled the plug and I'm sciencing now...
This is probably all unnecessary considering GSG would have the old builds to do their own testing 😂 but I'm curious now
- First attempt: extremely unsuccessful. The game froze as I tried to exit the sleeping pod.
- Second attempt: slightly less extremely unsuccessful. The game froze after I exited the sleeping pod and was looking at mission selection.
- Third attempt: froze on mission loading screen just shy of 50% loaded but then unfroze and loaded me. However, it keeps freezing for 5 - 20 seconds every 30 seconds or in a way that makes it functionally unplayable
Not surprising that it doesn't like the mission selection
I finished the mission, with it freezing constantly. A mission time of 9:02 took me well over 13 minutes
I only did the primary objective, 7 aquarq. It continues to freeze. It does not like being disconnected from the internet it seems...
That's kinda bizarre that you have issues even once loaded in
Yeah, I can't rule out that it's not something else with my PC, but the PC shouldn't be doing something else that would cause freezes like this in DRG just because it's disconnected. Quite bizarre
I'm waiting to see if the mission select rolls over and works...
Yep, totally new missions to choose
CPU usage lowers significantly each time the game freezes...
CPU usage sits at around ~15% when the game is working, and drops to 5% when the game freezes
15% with the game working? What card you got, damn
8th gen i7 processor and only a GTX 1060 6gb graphics (running at 1080p with v-sync at 60fps)
Yes you can play it offline as long as your xbox is set as your home xbox (which does need a internet connection to do in the first place)otherwise it will just tell you that it needs to be online to play
Hello. I can't seem to find a support forum so i'll ask here and hope its ok. Me and a friend both got the xbox pass on pc. We where both playing online on Sunday. And today we come to play and we can't. We tryed invites and it starts to connect and then says section has ended and retunes us to the rig. We also don't see the same servers. He only had one screens worth of servers listed and i had several and we could not see the same ones. Does anyone have any idear whats going on?
Update 31.5 had an engine upgrade that made the game darker and even one steam player tested out the insider that time and said it was darker
I know the license checking is fine with the "home xbox" system, but I was skeptical if it would generate missions without a connection
Also if anyone is talented enough you can install the windows build on Xbox with all windows build settings
Make sure both of your system clocks are accurate to start with. After that, try both completely closing the game and then starting it around the same time. Load completely into the space rig before sending or accepting invites
Game sessions can become desynced after a while (sometimes it takes hours for this to happen, sometimes it can happen during your very first mission of the day), which then makes inviting and joining fail, or even fail to be an option.
When this happens, you and everyone you're playing with should exit the game entirely, and relaunch the game within a few minutes of each other. This will make sure the sessions will work. If this doesn't work on the first try, have everyone reboot their systems and try again. This has always fixed the desync issue for us.
If you still have a problem, make sure your system times are correct. In Windows, go into Windows Settings, then Time and Language, Date and Time, and make sure "Set time automatically" and "Set time zone automatically" are turned on. Incorrect system times will prevent you from being able to invite/join
The game used to be plagued with significant connection issues. While most of them have been fixed, things seem to be most stable when you load into the spacerig before sending invites, but haven't had the game running too long
And the system clock thing has gotten a friend of mine before
The system clock thing is insidious. It's one of those that I'd never think of
ok cool thanks. will try these things. so odd about the clock timing. We did both restart so am unshore on that. be we will try again tomorrow as spent about two hours trying to connect
Just make sure you both are launching the game within a few minutes of each other, and as Tracervullet said, load fully into the space rig to the point where you can run around before attempting to invite/join. Good luck!
If things are still funky, you can uninstall and reinstall. The game has cloud saves and a Restore Save function (in case your cloud saves don't load automatically), and is a very small download, so it's not too much of a hassle. But give the main fixes a try first
So in my second offline mission, with all the freezing it took 3 real-world minutes for the 2-minute drop pod arrival timer at the end of an aquarq mission to count down. Wild stuff
Speedy mods ❤️
stupid POS video card was the problem with my audio
ill restart DRG and see if it still has audio
new problem UI settings are not saving at all FPS counter is always on but network stats are always turned off
graphics are fine for me i still can see everything from far away
drivers?
nvidia released bad drivers to support windows 11 and then next update fixed my video and sound problems
anybody having problems with network stats not saving when restarting DRG
I didn't notice it earlier when I was testing other stuff. I think my network stats were set to on, and they stayed on through a few exits and relaunches, but I could be mistaken
I haven’t played deep rock galactic in a long time
Rip
Died after 1 hour and 14 minutes of the elite deep dive
We were so close
That was the fourth time
Is anyone having issues with multiplayer on Windows 10 through Game Pass tonight?
i cannot get into a match with my friends no matter how much troubleshooting i do
yes i was having issues earlyer. have not tryed again
there was an update today and microsoft store doesnt auto update games/apps on computer
it says it was installed
Game sessions can become desynced after a while (sometimes it takes hours for this to happen, sometimes it can happen during your very first mission of the day), which then makes inviting and joining fail, or even fail to be an option.

Gotcha. We tried, but no dice 🤔
I keep getting a "multiplayer session ended" prompt as I try to join the game
did u both turn off and on your devices and start game
We finally got it! May not have been the game's fault, but disabling IPv6 on my PC seemed to do the trick
Nice! I'll keep that one in the list of things to suggest when folks have issues. Thanks for sharing, and happy mining!
also make sure your IP provider actually has IPv6 in use in your area or it makes your issues even worse
Let the torment begin aka installing windows 11 on my gaming pc
not bad only took 10 mins to install windows 11
time to test out DRG in windows 11
call me stupid or a moron but now im looking into a direct storage drive
maybe i am stupid since these cost upwards of over 100 dollars just for 1 TB of space
wow i just did some research and i can get about 7 drives in my computer or at that amount my server lol
will GSG support direct storage?
Deep Rock loads plenty quickly enough already, but I'm not sure how much it would benefit. Direct Storage improves load times for games that have tons to load, but Deep Rock doesn't have tons to load...
I would imagine that Direct Storage would probably not affect procedural generation significantly, as i would guess most of the time is likely spent generating, not loading
it would help to load on xbox series x with support for 4K 120 FPS down the road
since not alot of people have windows 11 yet
Perhaps a little, but as far as I know there just aren't a ton of textures that the game loads. So even replacing those textures with larger, 4k textures (might not even be necessary, given DRG's art style) there wouldn't be that much time to shave off anyway
i was hoping bjorn or dweeple would be on to answer but they are both offline
heres hoping they get online soon
what?
anyways thanks for the info on the changes in the update, they are unintended i believe, so we will take a look at it
@regal breach I was just wondering if GSG would support direct storage feature and also that network stats and some other settings are not saving correctly
FPS counter settings is working/saving correctly
can you make me a list, and i can forward it
Yeah I know that network stats are not working/saving correctly after restarting game and render distance and #xbox-and-windows-store message
I forgot that other people say it murders draw distance but I have an RTX video card so I don’t notice any difference at all
Game runs fine on windows 11 performance wise at least
That discord link goes back to yesterday morning with most problems listed in that link
Also I guess lightning seems brighter too.
Also if possible please try to look into adding brightness/gamma on Xbox build if possible thanks.
So short version list is network stats not saving as option to stay on view distance seems shorter then normal and lightning brighter and possible add brightness/gamma slider on Xbox.
I think that's the most relevant messages from earlier today
That works too but that’s a lot of clicking to do for that list vs reading my list lol
It is more clicking, but it provides context if it's wanted
True I guess I wanted to make the list short and sweet
But honestly Xbox build should have a brightness and gamma setting
Agreed. I think it would be helpful
Same issue since yesterday
:(
Disabling IPv6 didn't work
We also don't see the same servers for some reason
Try to resync your clocks
Oops steam user talking on wrong channel, o no what will he do
maybe you havent updated your game or your friend hasnt
Fixed the issue
No clue why the Xbox app didn't update the game on his end
Thanks anyway
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Oh boy, here we go again...
Nah, just one message this time around.
whats wrong with this photo
Door closed before time is over
nope honestly its hard to tell but i got in before the mule was in drop pod
Hackerman
its easy to do just use the ramp to get in before mule is retrieved
wow microsoft and AMD were not kidding with CPU takes a 15% hit in FPS
how?
the gate is closed until the mule gets there
i got under ramp and went right in and i had no lag at all helping me
The only gates are the ones we make for ourselves. Free your mind. There is no gate...
All hail StoicMako
no cults
Wait what!? I almost fell for Makos mind control!
@chrome venture Hey you, wanna start one?
so I know the large update is delayed until Q4.. but what is Q4? Quarter 4? like the 4th part of the year?
12 months in a year
3 months in a quarter.
Last 3 months in 4th quarter.
awesome thnx all
They have teased the date of November 4th. That is likely the target for the Steam release. No word on our versions, but at best it'll be the same day, but historically it's been a few weeks after the Steam release to allow for major bugs/changes to be rolled into our versions
What’s the purpose of the error cube
I’ll tell you where karl is
The mysteries of the Error Cube cannot be explained to you, they must be experienced. I cannot give you what you deny yourself. Look for solutions from within...
Then I simply won’t tell you if Karl is dead or Alive.
Or even where he is.
For 15 oily oafs, I can tell you what they do

Deep dive anybody?
Cults aren't allowed and we're sleeping instead of uprising. How're you?
Oh ok I’m good
weird i got a news alert about a man shooting arrows in public in norway
He killed like 5 people
i mentioned before that xbox/win store will likely be 2 weeks after steam, this is since we cannot hotfix xbox, so we want to avoid it being in a bad state for days. also there is a limit to how much our small team can do at ther same time since the game has more and more stuff that needs to be tested
Ah! I missed that. I always just assume, but it's nice to have confirmation
obviosly we try to get it out as fast as possible, but 2 weeks should be the max
Of course! It's always made perfect sense, especially given the circumstances
I just wasn't sure how much leeway y'all gave yourselves with the new date. It seemed within the realm of possibility that if you got the Steam version polished up real well ahead of November 4th, you might get the rest of the versions real close to ready-to-release as well
ill let you in on a secret - its always down to the wire 🙂
Granted, there's no larger group of testers than the whole community, so things'll always shake out after release
I wish I could say otherwise, but I can't, haha
Always a tweak here or another small addition there that I want to squeeze in, and that's only if everything went better than I planned...
yep, i dont mind because we want to add as much stuff as possible
And it really seems like y'all work sustainably and take care of yourselves instead of crunching like mad (at least I really hope you do!), which makes the work itself, and I believe the end product as well, better all around
ya, we dont crunch, so we dont burn ourselves out
That's so good. I know sometimes things happen that make it hard to avoid, but crunch never seems like a good answer and people and games suffer for it
@regal breach I’m always open for free testing before full release I can turn my computer on into developer mode and send reports on crashes for windows build and Xbox series x. I was thinking to save bandwidth send app file in email if possible
Please don't ping the moderators for questions like that. It's like calling the cops to ask them what kind of handcuffs they use.
Dunce = mute here. Scammers get the ban hammer.
Jacob. I liked the robots. Very cool. Make sure to give the rest of the peeps a good thumbs up.
does anyone else have an update available? or is my xbox app just bugging out with slow wifi or something?
@queen girder update was 2 days ago
huh, I only saw the option today, what did it do?
pre halloween patch
anyone doing anything on the xbox version of deep rock that i could join
im on pc but game pass deep rock
Sorry I’ve been up for over 24 hours now so going to sleep
Nonsense, the FAA says drink lots of coffee and to drink it often
Rock and stone lads
Lads, stone and rock.
Stone, lads and rock
Anyone up for edd?
Haha 😆
See yah guys later
RIP 32 bit users using windows 10 trying to go to windows 11
The announcement keeps mentioning the update, but sends to a video or whatnot that doesnt work.
who even uses 32 bit tho
You'll need to view the video in twitter. But at the same time you need to weigh learning about a new item vs having to go to twitter.
i dont have twitter
you can view the posts without an account
You're seeing that because what you're looking at is their live stream page and they're not currently streaming. However, you should be able to watch the recording of the stream, if you like
i'll try to find that online then
I'm not sure what twitch looks like on mobile, but you're pretty much already where you need to be
You just need to look for the videos section
Well, if you just want to see the new teases, search "deep rock galactic twitter", and that'll get you their twitter page
But if you want the full live stream videos, those can be found on the twitch page:

Is anyone else having joining problems
It keeps saying multiplayer session ended whenever I join a friend
hmm idk my friend have those when he joines me sometimes
Anyone wanna do some drg?
Anyone wanna do a deep dive?
Anyone else got perk challenges not saving? Claimed the 8 apoca bloom points 3 times now
Did you let the animation fully complete?
HELLO FELLOW DRG DWARVES. HELP!!!! So my game has randomly quit letting me play with friends. I can't invite anyone (in game or on xbox menu). I cant join anyone either, it just endlessly says "joining." Here's a list of stuff I've done that hasn't fixed it;
-Updated game with all available updates
-Deleted my account from xbox and re-download it
-Uninstall game and reinstall it
-Disbanded the team every time I'm in the ship
I haven't played this game for almost a year and everytime I've contacted DRG no one responds. I love this game and just wanna play it. Please help.
It looks like you've tried most of the go-to solutions already, but there's a few things more to check/try.
-
Check that your system time and time zone are correct. Set to update automatically is preferable so you don't have to worry about it.
-
In the pinned messages for this channel, there are some account settings to check that if set incorrectly might prevent multiplayer from working.
-
And you've tried disbanding the team, but I would suggest that you exit the game completely and relaunch, and have everyone you're trying to invite/join do the same. DRG sessions can become desynced, and we've been exiting and relaunching and that always works for us. If it doesn't work the first time, reboot systems and try again. Make sure everyone is launching DRG within a few minutes of each other. Then, wait until you are fully loaded into the space rig and can run around before attempting to invite/join. This method always works for us, but only if the above things (account settings and system time) are already correct.
I can't guarantee these things will fix what you're experiencing, but they're my best suggestions.
I've got the same problem tonight. Unable to play a game with friends. Was working fine last week.,
Have you checked/tried the things I mentioned literally right above your post? I'd start there...
StoicMako MVP When?
so is there any way to tell which pods are for xbox game pass version of deep rock and which are for steam?
The ones labeled "Xbox/MS Pod" are for Xbox and Microsoft Stote versions, and the ones labeled "Pod" are usually used by Steam players.
The Xbox/MS Pods are unlocked for folks with the Xbox role. You can give yourself the Xbox role in the #welcome-and-rules channel. Look for the "Platform Role Assignment" section
thank you i appreciate it
No problem at all!
Not bad, yourself?
Amazing yeah
Very good!
I’m not sure if ghost ship is putting a king’s crown in drg for cosmetics
They don't need to because the only KING we recognize is Bosco
Ok
Ooo, but then they could still add a crown as a Bosco cosmetic...

That I'm on board with
Lloyd is best bot. Therefore he should be King.
But if Lloyd were king, who would serve us drinks?
Lloyd Mk 2
Wouldn't Lloyd Mk 2 just be an improved king? I guess then ol' Mk 1 could go back to pouring drinks...
Well, Mk 1 is older than Mk 2. Oldest is the king in robotic society usually.
Mk 1's got seniority, gotcha
Therefore, Mk 1 is king, Mk 2 serves drinks.
The only cosmetic I’m waiting for is the Xbox/Microsoft exclusive headwear
I want my hat
<@&296918282403840000> scam alert
Anyone playing right now?
Hey everyone
?
Seems to be a little quiet around here tonight
Ohhh ok yeah that’s fine
Don't worry, you're not shouting into the completely empty void 🙂
Although sometimes that's cathartic
I get like that sometimes but yeah I’m understanding it 🤗
.
anyone up for some runs? I play scout, so other classes would be appreciated
im relatively low level, but not a complete idiot, so we should be ok.
having a mic would also be appreciated
still doing your runs?
Halloween event is up
Is that the gill-man from the movie “Creature from The Black Lagoon”?
