#

I wouldn't hold your breath. Their playerbase will be segregated just like steam and the microsoft version. That is unless GSG has completely overhauled the networking backend.

rotund dagger
#

Sony has been hard to work with in terms of crossplay. They've relaxed a little, but I believe that's often only been when they've made a deal that makes them money

#

Steam, at least, doesn't seem to put up barriers, so if it happens anywhere, it'd likely be there first, but would require a significant time and resource investment to make that happen, as The Loan Ranger mentions

cobalt arrow
#

Does that mean there's no plans for PC crossplay in the future? I know games like Grounded have done it, though I'm not sure how difficult it would be to implement

celest schooner
#

We already have crossplay between Xbox and Windows.

rotund dagger
#

It means there are no announced plans at this time to add any additional crossplay beyond what Lambentcy mentioned. There is just no easy way to do it; every platform uses its own, different account and they are not inherently compatible with each other, and neither are the matchmaking networks those platforms use. GSG would have to design a whole new system to be able to have players on different networks communicate with each other. It is a time-intensive and resource-intensive problem to solve

You can read through the rules in the #welcome-and-rules channel. You're of course welcome to ask if folks would like to play DRG with you, and I don't think the fact that you want to stream changes that. That said, I think it's important to make it clear to people you're grouping up with that you plan to stream, for everyone's sake. (Playing with an open session with random folk jumping in and out is what it is, but with a set group it's impolite and potentially problematic for the streamer to not let folks know.)

There is an issue where sessions can become desynced, but I don't believe it has anything to do specifically with crossplay between Xbox and Windows.

If you're unable to join/invite friends, there's a few things to try/check:

  • Make sure everyone's system times are correct. Incorrect system times will prevent successful inviting and joining. The best thing to do is set time and time zone to update automatically.
  • Have everyone who is trying to play together completely exit and relaunch the game within a few minutes of each other. This will refresh the session and fix the issues with inviting/joining. Wait until you are loaded fully into the game and can run around the space rig before inviting/joining. If this doesn't work the first time, have everyone reboot their systems and try again. This always works for my friends and I, crossplay or otherwise.
  • There are messages explaining some Microsoft account settings in the pinned messages in this channel. Check those if you're still having issues.
  • Some folks have mentioned disabling IPv6 on PC has fixed their issues with inviting/joining
#

Not sure when you last tried, but there was an update a year ago that greatly improved networking issues. This is only anecdotal, but I feel like folks are experiencing fewer issues since then. I know my friends and I certainly are

Question for Jacob I just read that an employee left GSG for io company and on a whiteboard in hitman 3 reads for Karl. Is it possible that Karl’s really a hit man killing bugs

#

Because the game is built around lighting your own way through dark cave systems, ray-tracing is off the table. But expect higher resolutions and smoother fps, which is something the developer can tap into on Xbox "for free".

#

a friend of mine decided to play deep rock after not playing for six months, and now he gets severe rubber banding no matter who he plays with or playing alone. This is on Xbox Series X and he tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. Any suggestions on what to do?

light niche
#

That shouldn’t be happening, could be an internet issue..?

outer cape
#

Nope

#

All his other games run fine

#

It's just deep rock that has issues

light niche
#

He shouldn’t be rubber banding by himself so I’m not sure

outer cape
#

Even in the space rig it's really bad

light niche
#

I lag when I’m not hosting but that’s normal in some cases, but whenever I’m host I never have any issues besides the occasional frame drop

#

Not sure tbh on a fix, only thing I could think of is internet or if he’s downloading something while playing

outer cape
#

Neither of those

light niche
#

Maybe they could help

outer cape
#

They sent me here

#

Lmao

light niche
#

Damn lol

#

Idk tbh, I’ve never had an issue with rubber banding in this game unless there’s like incredible lag

outer cape
#

He says its pretty much unplayable for him

#

Really sucks because we were gonna play the new update when it comes out

light niche
#

Idk, could be the game for him. I don’t know for sure, hopefully someone here can help at some point

outer cape
#

Yeah he likes the game a lot so he's pretty pissed

#

Only thing I can think of is that his save might be corrupted

#

Or the local game data in general

light niche
#

That could be a thing as well, I think I had that issue as well so I had to go to a previous save

outer cape
#

Unfortunately he's on console so I don't think that's possible

rotund dagger
#

I'm pretty sure the Restore Save option is available on console

outer cape
#

Is it? If it exists on console I've never seen it

#

Is it in options or something?

rotund dagger
#

Options -> Save Menu

outer cape
#

Thanks, I'll see if that works for him tomorrow

#

Losing a few hours of progress is better than not being able to play at all

rotund dagger
#

I think so too

#

But the Restore Save feature should hopefully avoid that

#

If the save is the issue, of course

outer cape
#

Although I wonder how TF his save would have gotten corrupted in the first place. Maybe in the save transfer from Xbox one to series X

rotund dagger
#

Those kinds of things do work pretty well, but seldom work flawlessly every single time

outer cape
#

Series X is known to be kinda screwy in general

rotund dagger
#

Your friend may want to try a factory reset too, if the save file doesn't seem to make a difference

#

I know that's kinda the nuclear option, but it is an option

outer cape
#

I don't know if he would be willing to reinstall all his games to play deep rock lol

rotund dagger
#

I totally understand, but it's the only thing I can think of to truly rule out all other issues

outer cape
#

Yeah

#

Hopefully it's just a save transfer issue

rotund dagger
#

And the only argument I can make in favor of it is, if there is something wrong at the console level, it may begin to affect other games as well at some point

outer cape
#

I know his issue only started after he played it on series x

rotund dagger
#

But I know it's still a big thing to try

#

Yeah, try deleting the save first, and if a fresh save fixes things, then try restoring a previous save to see if any are good. Then at least you know a fresh save will do the trick

outer cape
#

He already said if he has to do a fresh save and restart all his progress he's done with deep rock

#

So we'll try restoring a previous save

#

He's put about 10 days in the game so I understand that

rotund dagger
#

Yeah, you gotta make the choices that are right for you. How much time and energy is one game worth? There's a different answer for every person and every game

outer cape
#

I'd do the same since I've got every overclock and some exclusive cosmetics lol

rotund dagger
#

I'll say I've started over when I started again on Steam, to play with a friend who was just starting. It was fun, and not nearly as bad as I thought it might be

#

But I knew I could always copy my progress to Steam at any time, so that helped

outer cape
#

I've also spent hours customizing my dwarves

#

So yeah that's the biggest thing for me

#

I'd lose my shit if I lost my black redneck mohawk engi

rotund dagger
#

The flip side is, once you've got everything, you miss the "ooo, what new thing did I just get" factor. Starting over gives you that again. But there's plenty of games I wouldn't dream of starting over

#

Everyone is going to havea different list when it comes to what they're willing to replay

outer cape
#

Yeah its just I've spent so much time personalizing my dwarves.

#

I honestly love those little shits

rotund dagger
#

Deep Rock is a game I'd miss more than I'd desire not to start over. It would be rough, but it makes the cut for me

#

But there's so many games and so little time, so not every game can be like that

outer cape
#

Yeah

#

Deep Rock is definitely up there on my best games of all time list

rotund dagger
#

Rock and Stone! I haven't seen anyone here mentioning experiencing what your friend has, so hopefully it is a rare hiccup like a save issue, and restoring an older save gets things going again

You will mostly find Steam players in the #lfg-steam channel. This channel is more likely to help you find folks on the Xbox and Microsoft Store versions. Also, in the #welcome-and-rules channel you can give yourself the Xbox role (look for the Platform Role Assignment section), and that will unlock the Xbox/MS voice pods which folks also use to group up on these versions

well i've experienced this so far, i am no longer able to transfer save data between steam and microsoft store due to what im guessing is a windows update, also just lost my progress in the microsoft store again, checked the thing to get your save data back and nothing was there, so im uninstalling microsoft store version and installing it again to see if that works, mainly care because all my friends play microsoft store version due to one of us playing on xbox, making the steam version just for use of multiplayer on this server and solo stuff if i really want to using it.

The setting is called "Hide extensions for known file types," in the View tab of the File Explorer settings. You want to make sure it is unselected

brittle nacelle
#

That's really a shitty solution; I'm not sure how true it is, as I haven't really dug into it, but it seems we have M$ to blame for the lack of cross play.

#

I guess there may be some technical issue in the current implementation too, but technical issues are solvable... people being jerks is usually more complicated.

rotund dagger
#

It's not really anyone being jerks exactly, unless you classify building separate systems without access to other companies' proprietary technology "being jerks." The systems are just not inherently compatible. It would take work on either Steam's and Microsoft's parts to make their systems compatible, or on the individual game devs to make a system that is compatible with both

#

The fact is simply the Steam version does not have crossplay, so if you want to play with folks on Steam, you must own the Steam version

#

Microsoft has set their side of things up in a way that it is relatively easy for a dev to make the console and PC versions of a game crossplay by having both use the same backend system. And even then, crossplay between console and PC is a relatively new development in the grand scheme of things. It's getting better, slowly, but it is getting better

brittle nacelle
#

This contradicts what I heard earlier today on this same Discord server.

#

Someone was blaming M$ for the lack of crossplay. I get what you're saying though. My initial suspicion was that Valve/Steam didn't want to play nice(because why would they?)

#

To be fair, both companies have the resources to make it work if they really wanted to, but doing so really doesn't benefit either of them directly.

rotund dagger
#

The "what's in it for me?" thing has definitely been part of it. But luckily Steam and Microsoft at least have made their systems in such a way that the devs can make their own system that can tie everything together. That being said, it's no small feat for a dev to build their own system to tie everything together, and as a smaller, indie dev, you have to make tough decisions based on your limited resources

hexed glade
rotund dagger
#

And yep, the platform holders could come together to build their own stuff to work together, but it is still not a small amount of work and would require a ton of coordination between two completely separate companies that operate fairly differently even within the same space

#

By the way, we dont give Stoic enough credit, he basically carries this entire platform for DRG

#

Thanks for that dude

rotund dagger
#

You're welcome! I'm just happy I can (try to) help. DRG is pretty dang great, and this community is pretty dang great. There's enough negative stuff in the world, if I can take a little negativity out of how someone is feeling about DRG or whatever in the moment, I want to at least try when I can

#

Because I've definitely been there myself about one game or another, or about one thing or another, and DRG in general has been such a positive experience for me it feels right to try to reciprocate

brittle nacelle
#

I actually was hoping I'd be able to buy it on GoG. I honestly would gladly give the devs another $30 to have a copy that I didn't have to put up with either M$ or Valve to play.

rotund dagger
#

Although I just realized I have no idea what kind of multiplayer/matchmaking backend GoG has built in, so that could be a barrier to entry for a game where multiplayer is kinda the hook

#

I wouldn't be surprised to find that they've developed something to make things work, but I've never looked into it or heard anything about it

#

Everything I have on GoG is truly a Good Old (single-player) Game, haha

brittle nacelle
#

Yeah, they've been working on developing a new image that doesn't rely so heavily on the idea that they are all about old games. Part of the reason they've rebranded their own logo.
On the subject of DRG specifically, it doesn't seem to me that it would be a big problem to enable local LAN play, except that I'm not sure if the client program actually has all the data needed to make that happen currently. I'm just saying from a user standpoint, it seems like it would make perfect sense for that to be an option. I'd gladly buy three more copies of the game so my kids could all play if that was the case.

#

GoG specifically does have games that support multiplayer, but I think it's usually client hosted(so... not altogether different from LAN play, but going accross the internets).

lean rock
brittle nacelle
#

And if you're wondering why I won't buy three more copies anyway; my primary internet connection is 1 Mbps so online play for lots of people is generally not great, to say the least, in addition to the fact that if anyone is trying to watch videos it usually tanks the multiplayer gaming throughput badly enough to make it unplayable.

rotund dagger
#

Oh, true, LAN makes sense. And the way DRG works, it's already a server-client setup like a LAN game would be. I believe it would be possible to make DRG do this without a completely gigantic amount of work, but it would still require some work. And, if you're not opposed to using Steam or Microsoft, playing together locally should still be achievable provided your network is setup correctly (a few caveats, I know...)

lean rock
rotund dagger
#

Obviously the completely LAN solution would avoid the WAN limitations

brittle nacelle
#

Precisely. As an example, my kids all enjoy playing Minecraft together, and often even have 6+ player games going within the house when friends come over.

#

I found a multiplayer adventure mode map called "Chunk Defense" that's strikingly similar to DRG in it's core gameplay.

# lean rock definitely not gonna mess around with save files

If you make backups of your save files, it greatly reduces the risk of anything bad happening, but I totally understand not wanting to mess with files; it's not a difficult process, but it's not the most straightforward either. It could easily be outside someone's comfort zone and/or "willing to jump through hoops just to make this work" zone

I would suspect it's not even possible on console, but the last time I screwed with console storage was XBox 360, so it may have changed.

rotund dagger
#

Only a little more involved, but consoles are great because you don't have to fuss with any of that. I can't blame anyone for happily avoiding file-shuffling

brittle nacelle
#

I'm of the opposite opinion; rather that consoles are terrible because you tend not to have that access.

rotund dagger
#

Because of that, you can then get your console save on the PC, and then copy it over to Steam

#

It's not a completely straightforward process, but it's not too wild

brittle nacelle
#

There you go. So basically the current gen XBox is ever so slightly better than PlayStation if you also own a Windows 10 PC(which, admittedly, most people probably do).

lean rock
#

i've always preferred console myself, but am of the opinion that one should play on what they wish to

rotund dagger
#

I think it's really easy to see the appeal of both

#

And anything that lets more folks get in and have some fun can't be a bad thing

brittle nacelle
#

I only see that appeal when I don't have to download everything. Big fan of the current Nintendo Switch implementation; own all my Switch games on cartridge.

#

I don't DL my C.

#

I have friends who update all their games once every few months when they fly to the nearest big city.

lean rock
#

i like looking at physical copies on a shelf, they look nice

rotund dagger
#

Physical copies on a shelf definitely scratch a collector's itch, haha

brittle nacelle
#

That's a big part of the reason why my last console purchase was an XBox 360. If I have to download everything anyway, then there's no advantage to buying a console(for me).

rotund dagger
#

It's becoming less and less possible to enjoy new games without needing to download stuff, unfortunately. Updates are nice, but I've fallen off a lot of games that constantly update and then feel like I have to balance the feeling of "I might be missing out" against the feeling of "but I'm done with this game already..."

#

GSG took notes in their literature class, and decided to give us a mission type focused on "Man vs Self" conflict

Perhaps the unknown horror was never the true danger threatening our saftey. Instead it was our own drive to seek yet harder missions and modifiers that would ultimately lead to an untimely and unnecessary demise

#

question how hard really is it to support mods on windows since steam is using mod.io and mod.io works on some microsoft store games i play

rotund dagger
#

It would cause problems with crossplay, at least with any mod that requires both host and client to have the mod installed. So for the reason that mods would break a significant feature I would think they're less likely to happen regardless of how difficult it would be to implement

#

Pure speculation on my part, of course

obtuse fiber
#

i dont think so ive come across some xbox one players that have modded consoles

rotund dagger
#

Official mod support on consoles has been pretty restricted in what the mods can do -- often limiting mods to cosmetic changes -- in an attempt at reducing possible system hacks. Anything that would modify how a game behaves could potentially allow someone to make a mod that breaks things in such a way that gains them more access than they should have. That's part of what the Microsoft update/patch certification process checks for, I believe

obtuse fiber
#

can you explain why mod.io supports xbox one then

#

Console mod support is possible right now
While it’s true that there are some additional requirements to enable mod support on consoles, they are ‘common sense’ problems that are solved by design with the mod.io platform. Primarily, these are;

Mods may be limited in terms of what they can do, for example, scripting
You must pass all content through the console platform’s language filters
Robust moderation tools must be in place to deal with objectionable content
We set out to design mod.io with all of these challenges in mind, to make cross-platform mod support as easy as possible for developers. Our platform has already made mod support possible on Xbox for Space Engineers, with games including Snowrunner, Skater XL and TABS next in line.

rotund dagger
#

Sure. Cosmetic mods (usually) should not cause problems, so they would be acceptable. Anything that makes a character, object, or world simply look a little different would probably be fine

#

Anything that changes, or adds functionality onto, how a game works could potentially be problematic, and would therefore be less likely to be allowed unless they get certified. And they'd probably have to be official mods made by the developer to get certified

Well fuck it then. A ps4 version for drg got rated in Taiwan

Only leak we talk about is the leak in the spacerig pipes @obsidian elm

#

A new listing appeared on Taiwan’s national game ratings board, indicating that the mining-survival title Deep Rock Galactic will come to the PS4 and PS5 in the near future. There is currently no information on a possible release date. Neither developer Ghost Ship Games nor publisher Coffee Stain Studios have confirmed the PlayStation ports. However, the Taiwan game ratings board has accurately leaked upcoming game releases in the past.

In "File Explorer Options" (click Windows Start menu and search for that to get there quickly), go to the "View" tab, and check the "Advanced settings:" to make sure you have "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" is selected and "Hide extensions for known file types" is not selected.

By default, Windows has both of those set the opposite way, which makes it difficult to find and rename the save files.

Make sure you get both the name and the file extension correct when renaming the file

Only recommendation I have is try disabling ipv6 if your isp doesn’t support it or update network card

rotund dagger
# acoustic palm i cant join my friends and or invite them on gamepass eventhough we are all on p...

First, make sure everyone manually checks for updates. Next, make sure everyone's system clocks are accurate. Best thing to do is check that your time and your time zone are set to update automatically.

With everyone exited from the game, have everyone launch the game within a few minutes of each other. Sessions can become desync'd which will not allow you to invite or join, and the only way to re-sync is to exit the game and relaunch within a few minutes of each other. Try this any time you're unable to invite/join. If it doesn't work the first time, have everyone reboot and try again. This works extremely consistently for us.

Wait until you are fully loaded into the space rig and able to run around before attempting to invite/join.

If all of the above do not work, disable IPv6 on your PC, and check the pinned messages in this channel for info on some account settings that may cause issues with multiplayer

acoustic palm
#

i tried disabling ipv6 and it still did not work

rotund dagger
#

Okay, did you check everything else? Because disabling IPv6 is definitely lower on the list of things to try

#

And if you can join random games, just not friends, it might be them that needs to check and change things...

Well I don't mind people pinging me to be honest, but I shouldn't set a precedent for it or some people will throw rocks at me 😛

Just had a chat with @paper hull about a DRG problem in the windows store. We checked that the most recent version is installed and the firewall does not block anything. I still can't browse or connect to any servers, don't see any Halloween content and don't get weekly assignments. Seems to be a connection error, but I can't find hints on where/how it actually fails. Help, anyone? 😢

@rotund dagger thanks! Just tried turning off IPv6, but this did not help. Time is already in automatic mode, timezone is Germany

rotund dagger
#

Dang! There are some Xbox account settings that you could check. You can find info about those in the pinned messages in this channel. I don't feel like that's it, but I'm not sure what else to try. Only other thing I can think of is make sure Windows itself is up-to-date

#

I suspect exactly what you suspect: the fact that you're not getting the Halloween content upon launching the game makes me think you're not connecting to the servers at all. I'm not sure why that might be

#

Oh, you could check your connection to the Xbox network! If you havent checked that yet, click the Windows Start menu and search for "Xbox networking"

#

That might provide a clue

onyx mist
#

Indeed that seems to be a problem! I did not change network settings but maybe the last Windows Update (it's the latest Win10) changed something. I get the message "Teredo is unable to qualify" in the NAT Type section.

#

I also uninstalled the game to see if a reinstall will work. Now my Windows Store does not let me install it again. I'm at SFC level now. But definitely not a problem from the game. It would be very helpful though if the game would surface this problem by itself...

rotund dagger
#

The "Teredo is unable to qualify" message does not seem to be a problem exactly, but I don't understand why. I went down a rabbit hole trying to fix it once upon a time, and was never able to resolve that. However, I've had no issues that I can trace to that message, so I stopped trying to fix it. Just mentioning it because I don't want you to get too hung up on trying to make it go away. That's not to say that there's not something odd happening with Xbox networking in some way, like the Gaming Services service not working exactly right

#

As for the game providing more info, Microsoft seems to limit what error/issue messages devs can put in games on their platforms. It's quite frustrating, probably for the devs as much if not more than for us

onyx mist
#

Haha, there is a "fix it" button, that at least removed the error message. Now I have to reinstall the game with my crappy 10MBit-connection...

onyx mist
rotund dagger
#

Fingers crossed that the reinstall works! Thankfully it's a relatively small download

#

Yeah, the limitations on error messaging are rough. There's so many players who would be able to provide feedback or even just get clues as to how to fix things themselves. I can only guess why Microsoft has made that choice, but I don't think it's a great choice...

obtuse fiber
#

Well Xbox is still messing around with server from September trying to fix NBA 2K21 so they might have messed something else up in the process

#

Honestly I didn’t see a lot of reports about DRG until around September

Maybe the engineer/tech pulled a plug lol

#

Servers are a pain to maintain and fix

#

I should know I tried Minecraft bedrock server software on a laptop from Walmart

A friend of mine says he found a way to play Steam games on Xbox can you get banned for that?

Depends on steams policy along with Microsoft’s policy but I’m thinking yes

Unless it’s offline LAN then it should be fine but I don’t think that’s possible since you have to sign in to accounts

cobalt depot
#

I know you can emulate old games from any older systems like ps1-2, Gamecube and all and it's approved just need to pay for dev mode but I think he's doing it through Microsoft Edge somehow

rotund dagger
#

I believe I saw an article headline saying you could now use Nvidia GeForce Now on Xbox. GeForce Now is Nvidia's streaming cloud-gaming service that lets you play games in a Steam account, so it seems like there is indeed a legitimate way to do it

Well... if you load up the Experimental branch of the Steam version, which is active right now, you can test everything. There's a terminal in the space rig that only exists in the Experimental branch. It allows you to give yourself credits, minerals, XP, weapon unlocks, overclocks...

cobalt depot
#

I wonder if the brightness issue and pop-ups will get fixed soon do you still notice it on Windows Mako? I had an especially bad game yesterday on PE for the first time in forever I couldn't figure out what my teammates were trying to show me. It was an aquarq like 100m away that didn't render so it just showed Common Rock. I was the scout so they were all waiting for me it felt pretty bad lol

rotund dagger
#

I haven't noticed it too much, but I'm pretty sure the pop-in is still there. I've been in pretty small caves and a bit distracted with conversations, so it's not been the best circumstances to notice things

#

Oh, yeah, you can't mark aquarq directly unless it's dug out, so it would just look like people are marking a blank wall... That wouldn't be great

#

Bosco has code to know when you're marking an aquarq and not just a random bit of wall... seems like that could potentially be added to the laser pointer...

cobalt depot
#

Someone made that remark a while ago I m starting to think maybe it's intended because they definitely have a way to tell what's behind

rotund dagger
#

It wouldn't even have to say specifically "aquarq." It could just mark it as "resource node" or something

obtuse fiber
#

RIP my computer is bottle necked badly

#

stupid me i figured it out my RAM was not the problem i checked on bottle neck calculator and it said my GPU is bottle necking on 4K at 13.4%

#

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce 13.4% of GPU bottleneck on 2160p/4K resolution. Everything over 10% is considered as bottleneck.

#

time to upgrade my video card next year

rotund dagger
#

Yeah, as long as you have enough RAM for what you're doing, at 4k resolution your graphics card will be the bottleneck in all but the most CPU-heavy games

#

This would still be the case if you had a 30-series

#

4k is just a whole lot of pixels to compute data for

unreal radish
#

So there's a lot of wrong with that.
First, you're always going to have a bottleneck. It's next to impossible to build a consumer grade PC with all parts performing equally at all times.
Second, performance will vary a lot with the cooling solution utilized for all individual components including the PC case itself.
Third, power delivery can cause issues or improve performance. This can be broken down into the quality of the PSU, your motherboard, the quality of the BIOS on your motherboard, and the quality of the motherboard housing your GPU chip.

You can mitigate bottlenecks by choosing parts that have been tested together thoroughly. I personally hate using aggregate data from users, most people don't know what they're doing and it's fairly easy on windows to have programs or services running which can reduce performance a measurable and consistent amount.

rotund dagger
#

It really seems more and more like getting a decent Variable Refresh Rate display is the way to go. As long as it has a wide VRR range, it kinda doesn't matter much what your fps is unless you're playing competitive games at the highest level, as the monitor will make whatever fps look decent (obviously if the fps is low enough that may make the game feel worse to play, but anything over 30fps will mostly feel okay, but everyone has their own preferences for performance and visuals)

rotund dagger
#

A 2070 is not a bad card, at least compared to myself and a lot of other folks, haha. But 4k with above 30fps is likely going to be beyond its limits for a fair few games unless you dial back a lot of the bells and whistles

obtuse fiber
#

i can play red dead online in 4K at over 60 FPS but thats only because of DLSS

#

it made the game nicer and run better

#

not alot of games support DLSS

#

DRG at 4K runs anywhere from 15 FPS to 245 FPS

#

with and without lights lol

rotund dagger

DLSS is really a game changer for games that support it. You can also run the new AMD's FSR (their version of DLSS) on an Nvidia card, from what I understand, but it's even newer and even fewer games support that so far

Im not a coder nor do i know anything about game making. And i know steam have built in support for community sharing.
I know they did it for steam. And im just sad that because ive chosen to play on windows build so i can play with friends and that excluded me from the amazing life changing mod support. It really hits hard. I love this game and i would throw money at the devs just for making this game so great

But missing out on mods because i play with friends really hurts

# rotund dagger Not only is it a matter of the challenge or time it would take to implement mods...

Not necessarily, based off what I know about Microsoft they do not support mods on any game but so long as it is 100% managed by the game developer they have nothing strictly against it based off what I know about Bethesda because the mods are basically unlimited for fallout 4. So morning for Xbox Microsoft store could be done, but the devs would have to develop an entire system in-house from scratch (and possibly get approval from Microsoft although I don't think that would be cool hard given the state of the fallout games) and that would take a very long time cuz they would have to develop a way to make the mods which would be PC only, develop the interface for how you select the mods, and have to figure out how load orders and whatnot are managed and probably a couple other things that I'm just not aware of. Whereas with what I know about Steam workshop it already has most of that covered and what isn't covered is well quite frankly it's quite easy to access the codes of Steam games where is it's basically impossible to easily modify James purchased on Microsoft store and let's not talk about games on Xbox

rotund dagger
# lofty orchid Not necessarily, based off what I know about Microsoft they do not support mods ...

In the case of Bethesda, my understanding is Bethesda basically assumes responsibility for the mods and have verified that they are sufficiently limited in scope such that they cannot cause issues.

Basically, to do what Bethesda has done, GSG would have to build a modding system as you mentioned and then either make the mods themselves, or test, verify, and publish mods others have made in order to make sure there are not problems. So a ton of work just to get the system in place, and then a ton of work to make the mods/verify the mods, and then at every update they'd have to check all the mods again to make sure they still work and still do not cause issues

#

There are a lot of good reasons to play games on a console, but consoles have seldom been an open enough platform for mods to work well. It's just the nature of the consoles and the console makers. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo want to sell you a box and games that are verified to work and not break your system, and letting people add mods without oversight would make that goal much harder if not impossible. Bethesda was big enough to convince Microsoft to give them a shot, but even then the mods were pretty limited in focus from what I recall

obtuse fiber
# lofty orchid Not necessarily, based off what I know about Microsoft they do not support mods ...

Mods—while fun—aren’t official Xbox products. When using mods, consider these factors:
You mod at your own risk—the stability and security of your Windows 10 device might be affected
Disabling mods for a game (i.e. disallowing them completely) requires uninstalling and reinstalling the game
Achievements and other Xbox Live features may be unavailable
Your Xbox Live and device data may be accessed by the mod’s creator. Your personal data may also be exposed.
Future game updates may not be compatible with the installed mods
Accessibility features may not work properly
Mod content isn’t rated by the ESRB or other boards and may not be appropriate for every age
Mods are not owned, operated, or tested by Microsoft. Microsoft is not responsible for game mods or actions taken by mods installed on your device.

Microsoft started supporting mods in Microsoft store in June 2020

Boiler-plate disclaimer to make it clear that Microsoft assumes no responsibility if a person decides to use mods. Saying "were not responsible for mods on your Windows 10 PC" is very different from saying "sure, anyone can put mods on our Xbox consoles"

# uncut plover im referring to snowrunner, thats a game that xbox/windowes that has mod support

Sure, and taking a look at the mod.io guide for Snowrunner (https://snowrunner.mod.io/guides/snowrunner-console-launch-faqs-support-guide) confirms what I've suspected:

"Mods on consoles must be pre-approved before appearing in the game - and as such, there is a limited subset of mods on consoles. Due to the rules imposed by console platforms, some mods are not suitable for consoles and are not available. More mods are slowly being added to consoles, as they must be manually pre-approved by the developer/console platforms. More will slowly appear over the days and weeks."

"Most of the mods on the website are currently PC only..."

"All mods when they are updated require re-approval and will be unavailable while this process happens. Also, some mods have found to have issues and may be removed temporarily as they are reviewed by the [developer]."

Pretty much exactly what I've been saying: it's not impossible but it's not straightforward. GSG would have to either make the mods themselves and get them verified, or get community-made mods verified before they'd be available on console. They'd likely have to do this every time the game is updated, and, as the guide mentions, every time a mod is updated it would need to be reverified as well. This is a ton of work! And it would only be for the limited amount of mods that would even be available on console: "Due to the rules imposed by console platforms, some mods are not suitable for consoles and are not available."

Any mods not available on console but available on PC could potentially cause issues with crossplay. So if you want to play with friends and mods, it'd be with a limited variety of (presumably mostly cosmetic) mods...

unreal radish
#

It's too much work for GSG. There's already a limit on throughput with reviewing new mods. Imagine having to re-review every single updated one.

#

Frankly though you as consumers should find Microsofts position on that unacceptable. It's your console. You should be able to do whatever you want on it.

Yes, you should be able to copy your save file from Steam to the Microsoft Store version. From there you can load up the Microsoft Store version, sync an Xbox cloud save, and then load up the game (and the cloud save) on your Series X. You would have to do this process in reverse to take progress made on your Series X back into the Steam version, and repeat it every time you want to move your progress between versions

The two are not mutually exclusive. It is entirely possible to have a fantastic out of the box experience while retaining fine granular control for power users. Android does that exceptionally well. Most people aren't going to install a second app store or install a different OS than the one that came with their phone, but the option exists on many of those devices. Better user experience is used as an excuse to lock down hardware for business purposes (using the same hardware to benefit in another market instead of buying a new product).

unreal radish
# tropic bone was their a technical reason on their end to do this?

Because the world runs on Linux. If you're using a cloud service odds are very good it's running on linux. The reason for that choice is not only is the software free or a one time payment, which cuts down significantly on cost, the hardware is just utilized way more efficiently. Task scheduling is just flat out better compared to a windows server or windows in general. Resource utilization for the OS is, in many cases, significantly lower. It just makes better sense for a server environment.

tropic bone

it does create a fuckton of extra work (and possibly even forced new positions?) at studios though it seems right?

It can depending on how the game was originally built. UE4 and Unity 5 both support the Vulkan API and Linux out of the box. The big thing is using Vulkan or OpenGL.

If the game is built specifically to take advantage of quirks in Windows, like adobe products do, then it'll be a nightmare to port.

Once you open things up to stuff beyond your control, you open things up to problems you can't fix easily. As mentioned with regards to cheating on consoles, you're traditionally less likely to run into people using aimbots on console. Some people actually do prefer that the system is locked down. If you're only interested in single-player or co-op multiplayer experiences, that is probably a less compelling argument

#

Sure there's business reasons, but with Apple your hardware just works or you go to them and they fix it because they know they can. With Android, you're on your own, for better and for worse. Personally, I prefer the options, but I know plenty of folks just want it to work and to know they don't have to fix it themselves if it doesn't work

# rotund dagger Sure there's business reasons, but with Apple your hardware just works or you go...

That's also unacceptable. The company that sold you the product should not be the only one capable of fixing it. For android, windows, linux, and to an extent macos as long as you don't do something you don't understand then you aren't going to break it. And if you do break it, it's usually an easy fix (unless you're on windows then you're just told to reinstall). But having the option to do whatever you want should always be there. If anything it's a lack of user education. I thought user education would get better when I looked at it 15 years ago. It didn't, and it's starting to bite everyone in the ass.

rotund dagger
#

I agree, but there's a lot of people who don't want to have to learn, they just want things to work. And there's not much you can do about that when they'll always buy the products that don't require learning. And I do get the appeal, even if those products aren't for me

will there ever be any cross play between Steam and Microsoft?

rotund dagger
# tropic bone will there ever be any cross play between Steam and Microsoft?

Nothing has been announced, and it would require a significant amount of time and effort as there is no easy way to make the two platforms communicate with each other. Other games have implemented a friend code or some other similar system to connect folks across platforms, as Microsoft and Steam are not yet directly compatible with each other and it's uncertain if and when they ever might be. And that's only the technical hurdle.

Development of new updates would be affected as the Microsoft versions would have to be ready at the same time as the Steam version, and if any bugs or changes are needed after an update the patches would take longer to roll out to all platforms as well, potentially leaving all versions with a game-breaking bug for the amount of time it takes to make, test, and get Microsoft certification for all versions.

Never say never, but at this time there are some significant reasons why it would not be easy or even practical

tropic bone
#

couldn't there be a platform like shift? where you can play with people on different consoles and on pc like on borderlands? its not very practical built when people buy a game and find out they cant play with their friends on Microsoft they start asking for their money back. there's lots of wasted potential in this game that they just started putting new content after a very very long time of waiting.

#

its just wasted customers. lots of people want the game but choose not to buy it because they cant actually play with their friends.

slim dirge
#

If all your friends are on the microsoft platform then surely you just buy the game there, seems like you're just seeing this as an issue when it doesn't need to be.
It's like buying a game on playstation and being annoyed there isn't cross-play with xbox

#

Yes it would be great if there was complete cross platform play, but there isn't right now. You have to remember that this is an indie dev with a limited team, funds and dev time. This isn't gearbox with their literal hundreds of employees who can afford to throw a team or two on making up some cross-platform enabling system.

lean rock
#

pve games like drg are great for crossing

#

I can be patient for it, it would take time and effort, but it certainly can be done

rotund dagger
#

First, yes, I agree crossplay is nice. However, it's also a very modern feature, relatively speaking, and still only offered by a small number of games. I'm always surprised when a title has crossplay, even though more and more do all the time (although some of those are only Xbox to Windows, like DRG).

I'm aware other games have done it. I'm also aware of how they've done it. DRG would have to do something similar as Steam and Microsoft are otherwise incompatible.

And as I said, it would significantly impact development. It would make the game harder to develop and take longer to get out updates. That's just the reality of the situation. It doesn't matter what size the team, any team working on a crossplay game will have to deal with this. All versions must update the same day to make everything continue being crossplay. Because of this, each content update and each hotfix patch would take longer to develop and release.

Currently, updates are built first for Steam. They often get tested in the beta branch feature of Steam before the full release, and then the updates usually get a few patches to fix any bugs/balance issues that didn't come up in the internal testing and beta testing. These patches can come as fast and as often as needed on Steam; it's possible for the devs to identify a bug, fix it, and release a patch in just minutes.

However, on Xbox that isn't the case. Microsoft requires every update and hotfix patch to get certified before it gets released. That means a hotfix patch will always take whatever time needed to identify and fix the bug, plus at least a few hours to days for certification. And that is for every update and patch.

Steam often gets a few patches after an update, and gets them as quick as they can be ready. With full crossplay, each of those patches would be subject to the certification process, and subsequently delayed by hours to days. It would require a total shift in how the devs are able to develop DRG

rotund dagger
#

Oh, and also, now that mods have been introduced on Steam, the Steam version is significantly different. Arguably it was already somewhat different given the discord integration and the Unions, but mod support is a significant, functionality difference.

That would mean the Microsoft versions would have to get mod support to be in parity with Steam. And since certain mods would likely not be allowed on Xbox (Microsoft has restrictions for the types of mods, and all mods must get certified), mod support for everything, Steam included, would have to be reduced to just those allowed on Xbox or crossplay would be broken for Xbox users...

#

Alternatively, they could not add mod support to the Microsoft versions, and then you can only crossplay with Steam folks who are running unmodded missions. Either way, things get significantly more complicated in any Steam crossplay scenario, and that means development gets more difficult and everything takes longer

# lean rock i hope these replies dont come across as argumentative towards you StoicMako, i ...

No, not argumentative at all! One thing I might say is you might be okay with longer dev times (and times likely be more than just about two weeks as all of the testing would have to be done in house or in Steam experimental and have to be very very right because you can't quickly fix things I've they go very very wrong due to the Microsoft certification process), but Steam users might not appreciate the arbitrary delay holding back their version just to make sure crossplay works. Especially if they don't use crossplay themselves.

Also, as I mentioned, it would mean the devs have to completely change how they develop updates. They would lose the agility and rapid response time they get from putting out the Steam version first. Right now, if they want they can release something on Steam just to see how it works for the wider audience and quickly tweak and iterate as needed. That flexibility goes away the second Steam has to keep parity with the Microsoft versions. Losing that flexibility would change planning and development. It's not the only issue though.

Cave generation is more complex on the Steam version. It may be only a little different, but in order to maintain parity the Steam version would have to use the Microsoft version cave generation. One could argue that this would be a downgrade for the Steam version, but I'm not sure how significant the differences are in practice.

So not only would Steam crossplay be a ton more work for a small team, it would also (arguably) negatively impact the Steam version for a feature that some players may never use.

For the record, I would love Steam crossplay. I'm all for anything that let's more people enjoy a game and game with friends. However, I think there are valid reasons why it's not only technically challenging, but also resource-intensive and detrimental to the flexible development environment to the point where it's not an easy decision to make

Seeing as how a higher level player can deactivate perks and weapon/tool mods, a high level player can handicap themselves so they're at a similar equipment and perk level as a newer player. That can balance the difficulty somewhat. Then, the only thing an experienced player would have that a newer player wouldn't have is tips and tricks they've learned from playing. Just something to keep in mind

#

And as an experienced player, it can even be fun to challenge yourself by deactivating perks/mods

#

That's the neat thing about the systems the devs have built for DRG: you can really customize the experience and make it harder or easier in a lot of different ways to fit your mood and preference

Question how does the incursion pass work for Microsoft version. Will we get a longer time period by 1-2 extra weeks until it ends.

#

Or will we lose time since steam gets updates first

#

And yes 1-2 weeks in a pass that has 100 levels does make a difference

#

This is just me thinking but if seasons aka updates are going to take 4-5 months does that mean crossplay with steam could happen since in my opinion 4-5 months seems like a perfect time period to test for both platforms

magic pewter
#

Since you get season 2 1-2 extra weeks later, then it wont matter.

#

And no Steam crossplay.

obtuse fiber
#

Ok so we get longer time in each season by 1-2 weeks while waiting for each seasons update

magic pewter
#

That's what currently makes sense, yes.

#

either way, the rewards stay in the game, so nothing is lost

obtuse fiber
#

Dang it I would have thought steam crossplay since each pass will take 4-5 months but then steam would need a rework

#

I wish DRG would get steams cave gen and put on store page. Performance won’t be good on OG Xbox like they did for cyberpunk 2077

#

wont the season only start after the win/xbox build gets the update?

#

i thought i heard something like that some time ago

obtuse fiber
#

from what i understand is steam and microsoft both have same season but win/xbox will last 1-2 weeks longer since steam is the lab rat for bug testing lol

#

xbox/win wont start season until nov 18th

magic pewter
#

Seasons are replacing the updates, so it's logical to assume that they will run end-to-end.

pliant cloak
#

i mean like

#

steam gets the update, but you cant get points towards the season pass thingy until win/xbox gets their update

Hi I have a possible question to mod the game to the windows store version of the game?

pliant cloak
#

i dont think mods are supported on win/xbox

#

but im not sure, since im not on this platform

magic pewter
#

They're not supported through the official mod support. Might be in the future.
You might be able to mod the old fashion way.

Hey guys

How do I not have this?

Screenshot_20211102-145707.png
#

I've completed hundreds of missions and have almost 300 hours played

#

I've also reset my save file (from the save menu) so technically I've done my first mission twice

flat crest
#

Hmm i’m not sure i had a bug with the gold chunks achievement not counting properly a while back but it sorted itself out

magic pewter
queen girder
#

Yes

#

I have not played it on Xbox

#

I also do not have the one where you complete 100 missions but do have the one that requires 100 solo missions so it's kinda weird

sly stone
#

The milestone achievements have been buggy since like forever

#

For a while they were completable as long as you could do the whole thing in a single update, but I'm not sure if even that is true anymore

magic pewter
#

We’ve figured out why.

obtuse fiber
#

I know I fixed one achievement that wouldn’t unlock for me on astroneer by playing it on my Xbox. Maybe try playing it on both Xbox and then computer

magic pewter
#

I think.

cover your dwarf mouth when you sneeze

#

quick fun little poll, would you like updates 1 week after steam with some bugs still in game or 2 weeks after steam but more stable

#

answering is optional but it could give devs an insight into future update release schedules

rotund dagger
#

The way they're doing things already is the right call. Because earlier with bugs also means stuff with bugs for longer since the Microsoft versions simply cannot be patched as frequently as the Steam version

Did we forget about that time when Microsoft kept denying verification for GSG?

anybody wanna play some jokes/pranks on randoms during gameplay

#

lets vote for devs to add custom tracks to jukebox so we can add some songs from our music library to the game in the spacerig, like rockstar did with GTA 5 custom radio station on PC

#

just keep cycling thru normal songs to find what music you added to the game

Hi guys, have you seen this error installing on xbox win 10

cant install error 0x87E00017

I cant install DRG 😦

# lean rock is there a time and time zone listed for the update on the 18th?

There may be a more specific time closer to the 18th, but it depends. Basically, the update gets submitted to Microsoft and goes live whenever it clears the certification process. That has typically been about 4 - 6 hours after the devs submit the update to Microsoft, but it's not exactly a set time.

All that said, when everything goes smoothly, updates have gotten out to us around 12:00pm noon EST, give or take a few hours

violet estuary
#

I have this issue weeks ago, only with DRG,

#

already report to microsoft and they assist me remotly clean all, and force win updates

rotund dagger
violet estuary
#

even tried other porfile

#

ok I will try again, tks man

rotund dagger
#

I know that's not terribly helpful, just regurgitating what I found from a quick search, but it's a place to start?

violet estuary
#

already tried all those things, reinstalling win 10 is the only thing that didnt try yet

rotund dagger
#

I am seeing a potential report that a third-party tool that reduces or removes some/all of the telemetry/data-sharing built into Windows can cause an issue with installing apps/games from the store...

#

I'm not familiar with the tool discussed (SpybotAntiBeacon), and the message had to be translated from Russian, but it did seem to fix someone's issue with installing Back 4 Blood when they got that same error code

#

But if you haven't messed with the Microsoft's data collection they built into Windows, you might be looking at a reinstall of Windows, yeah. But you might be able to get away with a repair install. Although at the point where something is that messed up, I kinda lean towards a clean install anyway since who knows what else is a little funky...

#

and i was all excited for today, didnt realize it takes so long to make a different version

obsidian elm
#

mostly because of xbox certification

#

and they like to wait for a couple hot fixes on steam

more so the cert thing

Hey guys, sorry if it's the wrong chat to ask, but I noticed that on Xbox people talk with each other on the gamechat and for the life of me I can't find the gamepad control that is bound to open the text chat in the game

They’re probably using the microsoft (PC) version

There is no key bind for it you need to use a USB keyboard on Xbox

i played experimental and did not have the same ammo issues i had with the lok-1

the sludge pump looks like it has low ammo but the charge shots stay for a good amount of time

i wasnt looking forward to it but after i played with it im most looking forward to that weapon

the lok-1 has like no ammo so lmao

hey bjorn can we get keybinds for chat on xbox like what halo wars 2 did, All you have to do is click the left-stick while holding down the right-trigger. This will instantly pull up a controller-friendly keyboard to send a team-wide message.

Clicking the right-stick while holding the right-trigger toggles a chat log on/off.
