I've hosted and someone joined as we called drop pod. Unless they are trolling, I never have an issue with it.
If a dwarf is a contributing, who cares when they joined lol.
Idk, personally I really wouldn’t like if someone did that lol
That's cool. 🤷🏿♂️ But I'm just enjoying the game. If you care enough to not want people joining late, close off your game to friends only after 2 minutes. problem solved.
Takes 2 seconds
I've seen people come in, call in 4 resupplies. Then troll. Now that's a leaf lover
It was a gunner too.
Anyone who frowns upon it is creating their own problem. Same with people who complain about there being 4 of one class. Don't like it? Host your own game and turn on no duplication lol.
Ez fixes
Also, about double xp, while it is good as a temporary boost, doing it constantly over the long run, is not advisable if you want to always promote. Take it from a level 680+ player. I don't play double xp missions anymore. If I just play no double xp, by the time a dwarf is level 25, I'll have enough credits and minerals to cover the next promotion every time.
With double xp, you'll eventually lose money per promotion. And be broke.
I know because I always have a million credits consistently
When I was doing tons of double xp, eventually I was gunna be broke so I started just avoiding double xp missions.
Of course, if you don't care to go that high, then disregard my opinion on double xp.
Ok
After the last DRG update, have any of y’all experienced massive gps drops on ps5 120hz mode? Sometimes during a swarm I go down to 40 fps when it only has like 6 bugs. Just wanna know if it’s the game or my ps5
I play on 60 fps so I can't say.
But I haven't had any massive issues
Hey i can't join servers on ps5 its always says something like time runs out. Also every second time i start a mission and load in the map already in the droppod the game crashes.
Really? Wow I've never seen that in all my 250+ levels. I think I've had a total of 10 trolls max in all my games
Yeah. I honestly haven't seen much trolls. I can recall almost every single trolling experience I've had in this game. Overall the game is a very wholesome and the gameplay loop is amazing.
Hey new to the game looking for a group to play with and show me the ropes! Usaully able to play 5:00PM-10:00PM EST
is there a support i can email or contact?
Hey I'm coming back into the game and I'm using keyboard and mouse for fun but my play times can be 12:00 am-12:00pm est
Hey guys, my friend keep having issues joining online sessions. He restarted the Router several times already and it won't work.
We need help
I am his friend btw
Some people have had success overcoming connection issues by switching their internet connection type. Folks who were on wifi switched to ethernet, and folks using ethernet switched to wifi. This seems to have worked for everyone who has tried it so far.
At this time, there are no other solutions as the issue doesn't affect everyone. The devs are looking into it, but, since they're unable to reproduce the issue on their hardware, they have not been able to provide a solution yet
Not even changin to ethernet has not worked now switching back to wifi
It may sound dumb ... but have you tried turning the console on and off
I mean fully off and on not rest mode or anything
It fixes issues for a lot of people
Ethernet worked!

Thank all of you, and ROCK AND STONE!

Rock and Stone!
@sly reef Rock and Stone!

thx @queen hawk @clear monolith
Finaly my friend and I found a solution to the problem that doesn't Requirements restarting the Router every dann time
Does drg have ps4/ps5 crossplay for joining random people?
Ik you can do it with friends but im not sure about random servers
I would like to know because it feels like the player count is low but maybe i'm just always on at the least busy times
The game is cross-generation, meaning PS4 and PS5 can play together, but there is no cross-platform functionality. You can join random people by clicking "Join" when selecting a specific mission, or you can choose from the "Server List" on the mission selection map screen
Yeah, uk morning/early afternoon is very quiet for drg, on PS at least, it picks up in the late afternoon/evening when the americans get on, and some of our people get home from work/college
Yo is the triple tech for the coil gun any good?
It is actually real good! You can get 3 spitters off the ceiling with minimal effort, or have the fear mod to make yourself a temporary safe zone 🤝
No prob bob 🤝
Escort be wonkier now
If molly digs too steep the surface becomes a void that pulls any unsuspecting miner trying to climb the fresh cliff
Actually whats up with falling into the void getting just a bit more common
yo i just got the game could any1 help me out?
ok then
If you're talking teaming up, I can't really help with that. If you're just talking about advice, well, I've probably got more than anyone could ever want 😁
yes please i'd like advice
first of all: who should i main
so far ive only really played scout
Whoever seems most fun. I personally love to switch between classes. But it does make sense to focus each to the first promotion at least. Each class is very playable, and the various weapons and modifications and perks can allow you to play each one a variety of ways.
Scout is a ton of fun, given the grappling hook. Gunner is good in a pinch, especially with the shield. Driller feels great once you get the hang of the drills. Engineer always felt the most well-rounded to me
I usually recommend starting on Hazard Level 2, and moving to 3 once 2 seems very comfortable. 3 can sometimes be a bit of a challenge when you don't have many upgrades and perks unlocked
alright thanks a lot
and where would you reccomend i spend my coins for the most part
Equipment, definitely. Buy one upgrade from each tier as they become available. You don't have to worry too much about which one, whichever sounds good. Buy the additional weapons as soon as you can, because they open up alternate ways to play. Try everything before committing to anything
There are so many fun ways to play. That said, if you like the default weapons, feel free to hold off. Money and minerals can be tight in the beginning
Fastest way to get money and XP is to run missions fast and focus on the Primary and Secondary Objectives, then get out. That's not always the most fun way to do it.
In general, follow the host's lead if your playing multiplayer. Letting the host push buttons and only taking one refill of ammo at a time (unless everyone is leaving refills behind and you could really use it) are common courtesy
Would you have the answer to this: out of the primary weapons only which class would you say breaks armor the best?
I know I should be hitting weakspots but I still end up putting quite a few rounds into their armor over the course of a mission.
Ooo, I don't know which is best. Anything with Armor Breaking modifications usually makes such short work of armor that I've not noticed a huge difference. Praetorians are probably the easiest test subjects to check this on, if you wanted to get into the nitty gritty of the science
I usually spec things out for fun first, and efficiency second, so I'm not the best at suggesting optimized builds. I really feel that -- even on Haz 5 or Elite Deep Dives -- how you play what you're kitted with it more important than what you're kitted with.
If you like what you're using, and you use it well, you'll have fun and do well regardless of the setup
Hi, I just gotten PS5 and downloaded PS5 version of DRG. It went all smooth with my save backup from PS4, but it won’t transfer all the achievements that I gotten so far
So I’m wondering if transferring achievements isn’t possible?
Some games will pop a bunch of trophies all at once when you boot it up or beat a mission etc.
Went on the internet and found an answer for this. It makes sense when you think about it.
For example:
-Completing a mission will unlock the trophy for 500 missions.
-
Promoting a miner will pop the trophy for having all miners promoted to gold.
-
Collecting a compressed gold chunk, bittergem or alien artifact will unlock their respective trophies.
Some trophies that have specific requirements need to be redone.
For example:
-
The trophies for barrels in the drop pod and launch bay need to be redone.
-
The Party Time trophy
Some trophy requirements seem to have to be only partially met again.
For example:
- Riding a silicate harvester for any amount of time will unlock the trophy for riding one for 30 seconds.
@rough dragon
TLDR. Some trophies are a "one time check upon trigger" so you'd have to redo those. (example. Barrels in launch bay) While others are continously always logged (amount of missions/promotions), so once you do something that triggered that check, you'll get the trophy.
Plastic Coating is awesome on armor-heavy costumes
Gunner be looking like a glow in the dark action figure
Hey guys I’m fairly new to DRG, I’m wondering how I get pickaxe and gun skins
Facts about how you play vs just the best build. I was just curious is all. If they farther out gunner seems to have the best armor breaking at my low levels, but if they close engineer shotgun is pretty strong for armor too. I appreciate you response 😇
These skins are obtain ed via the season pass, which in comparison to other games does not need to be brought by any means you just get it!
You can also obtain Color Variants by upgrading your weapons
Pretty sure the answer is yes. I know for a fact it's possible on Xbox consoles, at least
Anyone else experiencing lag on PlayStation ?
Not talking about the servers but getting framerate drops
Yeah on ps4 accaiosenely if there is a fuck Ton of enemies
For some reason I can’t get dlc for drg when I try to buy it it just sends me to a blank screen
It's a common issue. You should be able to use the PlayStation website or phone app to complete the transaction
This. Happened a lot with the supporter 2 dlc
I only got mission achievements after completing one on PS5
Cool. As expected.
The rest like promoting or collecting stuff don’t show up
Did you promote a dwarf yet?
You mean on PS5 version specifically?
Yes.
Nope
The game needs to "check" that trigger.
So basically
I have to redo the process just once. All the achievements up to that point show up?
Yes.
Thats bizarre
It's the way the devs coded the game 🤷🏿♂️
Other games have much simpler auto pop
But I can understand why drg is like that
It's not so bizarre when you realize that there are separate lists of achievements for the PS4 version, and the PS5 version
Any achievements that are progress-based will trigger if the condition is met and you accomplish the event that causes the trigger one more time
It is a bit bizarre because with most other PS4 to PS5 save files. They normally give you all achievements at once
DRG is only one in my library that is bit weird on it
This is true for DRG. But other games have auto pop for everything and worked seamlessly
Either way, shouldn't be a big deal if you truly love the game.
Oh well. As long I keep playing the game, it will eventually reappear
Yeah
I will play the game a lot
So knowing how the process goes is good to know
I just wanted to double check
Alright. I can easily see it being done both ways, from a design perspective. The achievements are not actually saved to the save files, they're just triggered by the platform the game is on. I'd be surprised if there weren't other indie titles that have multiple versions that do something similarly
Wait. Does this also work for hazard achievements or do I have redo then again?
Those will have to be done again. Cuz they're a one and done.
Oh. Sorry.wrong reply
Any one-off achievements, like the barrel hoop game or carpool, will need to be completed again. There is no save information for those
Essentially, like stoic said, anything tied to a "counter" essentially, will trigger once you trigger the check. Anything that's a one time thing, will have to be done again.
Enjoy the game and you'll be alright 😎
Rock and stone
Your save file includes how many missions you've completed, and your levels and such, but not for the purpose of achievements. It simply checks if those achievement conditions are met when you complete a mission or promotion

You're welcome! Rock and Stone!

#lfg-playstation message
I can't join for a long time. I'm annoyed. Please do something.
Quick things to try:
- Reboot console.
- Reboot router.
However, there are some issues that have only been resolved by switching your connection type. For example:
- If using wifi, switch to ethernet.
- If using ethernet, switch to wifi.
So far, everyone who has tried switching connection types have reported resolving their connection issues.
I tried every time I joined. I get annoyed because of that.reboot game,reboot console.
It's been Ethernet all along, and it's been noticeable since Season 4.
Since you've always been on ethernet, switch to wifi. I know that might not make sense, but it has worked for everyone else who has tried it
ok,i will try.
Switching to wifi definitely worked for me. But only for a couple weeks. Now the issue returned and switching back and forth wired vs wireless doesn’t seem to fix it
Have you rebooted your router along with any of that?
Yes and restarting console as well. I got a new router/modem I will try that when I can set it up
Other games are fine though. It's ridiculous to have wifi only for deep rock galactic.
I'm curious if that will help. Routers often work or don't, but occasionally there are cases where a newer/better router is able to perform better in specific situations
Yeah, it's not a great solution. However, the connection issues do not affect everyone, and the devs haven't been able to reproduce the issues on their hardware so they've not been able to find the cause of the issue or a better solution. In the meantime, this workaround of switching to wifi has helped most people who have been dealing with the connection issues
I know very little about home networking or networking in general but my hardware is about 5 years old so it can’t hurt to upgrade I figure
Routers are basically small computers, and just like computers they can have various grades of hardware inside. Some have lower-end processors and less memory than others, and those will be more likely to exhibit issues in certain circumstances (and can often require rebooting more frequently)
will there be new achievements at some point? at the moment there is no reason to play except when there is a new season or some events
You could try playing for fun.
Just saying.
I come home from a long stressful day at work. It's nice to just play a game with no goals. Just mining and killing bugs. Nothing to gain. Just enjoyment.
Rock and stone to the bone.
Anyone wanna group up and play? I really wanna find some people who wanna explore the caves and do the side stuff instead of just rushing missions.
I wanna EXPLORE
is miners union available to ps4?
Yuh uh me too
Sign me up
Yeah ethernet to wifi works now
I believe it's only a PC feature
Thanks
Anyone wants to play?
Yo I need backup for a few deep dives. I would prefer everyone be a different class(I play engineer), but honestly I just need more people.
Alright my ps name is JasonThunder2424
It's all good bro
Do a group chat
any1 from uk??
I’m from Ireland so same thing basically
Anybody know what’s goin on with deep rock? I can’t play with anyone or join them through invite
Quick things to try:
- Reboot console.
- Reboot router.
However, there are some issues that have only been resolved by switching your connection type. For example:
- If you are using wifi, switch to ethernet.
- If you are using an ethernet cable, switch to wifi.
I know it doesn't make a ton of sense, but so far everyone who has tried switching connection types have reported resolving their connection issues.
To answer your question specifically, connection issues are affecting some people, but not everyone. Unfortunately, the devs are not effected and are unable to reproduce the issues on their hardware, so the issues are proving difficult to find and fix. The changing connection type workaround seems to work for pretty much everyone who has tried it
thanks, didn't ask tho
"will there be new achievements" is something you did ask. So I answered. I think if you don't want a response. Probably don't bother asking anything? Just a thought. 🤷🏿♂️
Maybe the answer could be seen as a bit sarcastic. Sorry about that.
Currently. The devs haven't made any announcements about adding any achievements.
And then to the 2nd part. You said something about not having a reason to play. To which I answered. You could play for fun
Did I misunderstand something?
i don't enjoy playing things when there is no meaning to it, i enjoy achievement hunting aswell
Understandable. 🤷🏿♂️
Okay I’m downloading deep rock right now, would anyone be willing to show me the ropes and give me an intro into the game once I’m on?
HmmMm
Quite an interesting chat
No users,no liquid morkite,no goosacks,no drillers
And most importantly
NO MACTERAS
MACTERAH GOO BOMBAH!
Me when mole heehee

I’m actually doing a mactera plague mission RIGHT now LMAO
Anyone wanna play?
Dang bro that’s a lot, I’ve heard that this was supposed to be patched or smth a while ago, and I play other games with like 25-40 ping and I don’t have Ethernet cable because the router is not in my room, but I guess I’ll just have to wait it out and play a diff game sadly
you can try using a powerline adapter if you want Ethernet
Yeah, unfortunately it's not an easily accessible solution for everyone.
And unfortunately the problem doesn't exist for everyone. And, since it doesn't exist for the devs, all they can really do is guess at the cause, make changes that might improve things, and then release an update and wait for people to report back because they have no way of checking for themselves if the attempted fix worked. Then rinse and repeat until one of the attempts fixes the issue
Anyone wanna help me complete a bunch of achievements
Such as getting every barrel in The drop pod
Filling every seat in the drop pod with barrels
Getting every Bartel in the launch bay
Riding Molly for 15 seconds
And staying in a quest for more than an hour
Oops
I guess there is a lfg channel
Lmao
Just got fat boy from forging

Hello does anyone adopt another player?
I am seeking a Team
Anyone wanna play my psn is franninger
?
Well then... I just experienced the weirdest, kinda game breaking bug ever. Joined an escort mission. And the map seemed to have generated only after I joined. So everyone else is able to go back to the spawn, but I have to dig there. Very weird. I'm not driller so I'm screwed. Lol.
Told them to just leave me behind. Super weird bug.
Everyone is just walking towards where the hole is that doretta made, but from my perspective, there's a wall.
Knew something was up when I was glitching a bit through the floor randomly
HUUUUUUGGE 
Is that-
How that works???.
Yeah dude,being so poor makes it so i find new ways to play without plus
Someho
Somehow
I could have started a match online without plus,idk if thats a bug but i was happy to have it
I've never not had PS+ so I couldn't say.
Maybe someday you wont have the money and then you can still play drg
(Bosco is still the best but its also nice to play with other players)
Don’t worry Skulls, I’ll be your Bosco in multiplayer lmfao
I mean I hope not.
I paid for it as a kid with chinese new years money and now I have a job so.
I hope I'm never that poor

Can you fly? Can you revive me while in being swarmed by two bulks? I didnt think so.
Dont talk to me or bosco EVER AGAIN

Scout, iron will, field medic, badda boom B)
Clearly they need a co op mode where your partner IS Bosco lmfao

Bosco the coop partner!
Just start pinging and I gotchu bro 🤝🤝
Aight
Imagine being a glyphid,hearing a guy screaming "BOSCO,MINE IT!" and suddenly a robot breaks the wall and steals your kid
”BOSCO! WAT IS THAT?” (Three fat boys are launched)
I’ll make a Bosco cosplay on my Engi 🙌🙌
Omfg yah
Then we play and you do all the work
And then i kick you so you dont get paid,the inmersive bosco gameplay
Yyeah! Drop the psn, sounds like it could be funny lmfao
Lmfao yes,just...lets not do the last part.
FatNdepressed2,i might be up in like...what,9 hours? Its late where i live lol

Hey guys I’m having trouble connecting with my friends “connection lost- failed to join” on my PS5 my friends don’t have that problem it’s only me. Any thoughts on how to fix that or get in contact with support about it?

Ayo anyone down 4 some games?
Unfortunately none of those worked 😦
hello andre
do you guys know anything about bunker drop pod calling?
Could anyone help me with car pool achievement
I can
Can anyone help, when I join a server it gets stuck on joining

Alr thanks.
I tried re-installing the game and it worked, just saying this instead of anyone gets the same problem
That can work too. But the connection issues have persisted for some people even after a reinstall. If that happens, you'll need to try switching connection types.
There are some persistent connection issues that only affect some people, but not others, and the devs are unable to recreate the issues on their hardware. Currently, the switching connection types workaround is the only known fix
and if all the options doenst work? opened the ports from the router / rebooted everything, changed coneection but i cant join anything
Do you have PS Plus? Because that's required for multiplayer.
If you do have PS Plus, and none of the above works, I'm not aware of anything else you can do at this time. There's not a lot of reports where the above fixes haven't worked
jeah i have ps plus. sad...cant play it then i guess
That's a bummer. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer. Fingers crossed that someone comes along with something I've missed or forgotten
happens. will try it in e future again but for now im done 😄 good night
Have a good night! Rock and Stone!
This should just be pinned at this point lol. The amount of times I've seen you having to mention this. Would help out a lot of people if the message was pinned.
Only if people check the pins.
I know I forget to check them plenty of times myself. I don't mind posting it again if it helps 😁
I'm sad the only version this game I can play currently is the board game :/ I can't use wifi the signals not strong enough
You're still a miner in my book. Rock and stone.
You could play solo. Bosco is a nice buddy. Not as good as enjoying the company of 3 dwarves, but you'd still be able to play the game
That's true
There's bosco, Molly. And sometimes Bet-C. And don't forget Steeve.
Still lot of companions
Hey guys i need help with elite deep dives
Starting up the carpool lobby now, anyone who wants help with the carpool trophy feel free to join. I’ll be running missions for a couple hours
Someone willing to help with some missions?
What difficulty are they and what level are you?
I'm only lvl 6 and lvl 2 difficulty
I'm newish
is anyone willing to play
Anyone want to come to elite deep dive?
Oh that's perfect then. I've only played one character on an account sitting there like 4 years. I'm at the start like yourself
Whenever you guys are on, send me a dm or even tag me here
Yoo nice someone new joined my game and their first game ever 3 things happened:
- Crassus Detonator
- Meteor Fragments
- Compressed gold
Impressive first game ever for em
And a corruptor the game after that lol
Played my first round and it was so much fun
Then the abyssmal lobby and connection issues came back and made the game unplayable again. Guess this will be the best game i will never play. Never had such issues with any other console game. Is there no real fix? Does this really become a game of russian roulette of the servers actually let me play with friends?
There are no game servers; it's all peer-to-peer connections. So connection issues are, generally speaking, on your end or on the host's end.
The recent connection issues that have been reported do not affect everyone, and that's making it very hard to find a fix. The only fix that has had consistent results for pretty much everyone experiencing the issue is changing from wired internet to wifi, or from wifi to wired
Hey I got a bug with ps5 where my friends can join each other but I can’t join my friends and they can’t join me “connection lost - failed to Join” I’ve tried everything from forums and articles and nothing is working. Please help!! It’s only happening to me
Quick things to try:
- Reboot console.
- Reboot router.

I found a small bug I think
You know how there's the new sleveless options for armor
When you're in the celebration screen after a mission it shows as you sleeves whether you have it clicked or not
I wanna see my buff Santa doing pushups with his guns out
By guns I mean muscles
Just a slight bug I think
Is it weird to ask for help on deep dives? Cause this elite is hella hard
Nope. Totes ok but the more appropriate channel for recruiting team members is #lfg-playstation
Gotcha thanks
If anyone needs help on missions ping me and I’ll help I don’t have much to do right now!
U wanna play in 15 min?
Seeing everyone say EDD is pain this week.... I'm all kinds of excited for chaos
BRING THE PAIN
you want play?
I'll be running it later today. Just finished the normal DD a bit ago
What is best for the gunners burst fire gun
Ping me when ur doing edd
Tbh I'll probs forget but keep an eye on #lfg-playstation, I always post my lobby there and usually I'll include a mini post here that links to the post in that channel
Haven't done dd yet but normally do that solo
It's pretty mellow this week
Fair
anyone know why it won’t allow me to buy DLC?
I had the same problem going to the drg store page on PlayStation mobile app fixed the issue for me but you could try your computer browser as well
For the what's causing the issue idk
👆🏿 Can confirm that this is the known workaround
can i rejoin a deep dive, after i crashed?
Pmu anyone
I need a teammate. Preferably one with a mic and that is somewhat new
Im new and have a mic dm if you want to play drg
You can join a Deep Dives if you had a game crash. I personally hosted quite a few deep dives since a close friend of mine has spotty internet. He wasn't a reliable host. Randomly he'd get disconnected sometimes when we 2 manned deep dives and he was able to join back.
So unless something changed in recent updates, you should be able to rejoin a deep dive if your game crashed.
alright, thanks
My bad I thought it wasn't possible 
It's all good. The more you know.
Rock and stone

🔛🔝


Btw another note here:
Game doesn't have to crash. You can close the game (Do NOT leave the lobby tho, just close the game from the PS Menu while still in the deep dive).
You can rejoin usually by going into the "search for players --> recently played with" menu. If the person has their profile/game activity hidden it won't work but they can send you an invite as well.
I occasionally do this when I realize I messed up my build. I'll leave, fix my build and rejoin. It will send you back with the same class tho so no, you can't switch characters mid dive
You need to be fast tho. Don't spend hella time in the space rig as the game seems to eventually forget that you were in that dive and won't let you rejoin
And obviously... Don't do this if you're the host. The game will just end for everyone
Good tips. This works for regular games too. The client essentially holds your "game state" when you leave or get disconnected, so if you're able to rejoin, you're the same class as when you left.
Also, don't think leaving the game if you're downed and coming back in works. You'll spawn back in, downed. 😂
I may or may not have tried this once 😂
Oh it definitely doesn't lol. Good call out tho:
You'll return with the same amount of ammo and health from before you left... Even if it's more than that build should have...aka you can load in with RJ250 compound amount of ammo, leave the match then switch to fat boi and rejoin and MY GOD, ALL THE NUKES
Rock and stone, you beautiful dwarves!!
Anyone wanna go for the co-op achievements? (Car Pool, Drill-by Shooting)
Got room for 1 more
I want a somewhat new teammate to chill with. Mic preference but not required
Is there crossplay betwenn ps4 and ps5 ?
Yes
I cant join any other right now but 3 hours ago it worked
Can you go more in depth pls?
Het, im looking for someone to Play with for a bit, just getting into the game would be Nice to have someone with some more experience to show me how to do things etc
Everytime i try to join a lobby with my friends or randoms i get a message with connection loss
Except Belgium lobbys
Any of you guys wanna Play?

Thx
Yes

You can try #lfg-playstation if you haven't.
tt
I just played a bit after a ~month or two hiatus. It felt like things were generally smoother, better frame rate. Is that the case with the latest patches? Or am I just back with fresh eyes?
Its probably a bias thing
Want a teammate to chill wit
Anyone down for some chill haz3 and 4?
Still lookin?
Yep, just hopped in a haz3 will be out quick
Ight. Dm me when
Playstation community seems antisocial on DRG
Who have you been playing with? 
If your still up for it I can play
Bro the PlayStation version has some serious framerate issues
Even on ps5 even tho i play on PS4
Had the worst haz 4 mission
2 Rockpox infections immediately entering the salvage main cave
Korlock bossfight triggering hitting us with projectiles while we deal with the closest infection
2 spitball infectors
Also sniping us
A breeder far out
And 2 brood nexuses
Later in the mission we also had a bulk detonator
I've seen worse trust me
And it was during a mission where we decided to go max drunk
Sure it wasn't the beer?
Everything was doubled for sure
I mean it started off with a nemesis and a bulky on close quarters at the same time
We had a total of 3 bulkies in 1 mission
I also think we got a nemesis
Cauz it said smth about robots
Scout said smth about killing robots*
Did I already say we were all max drunk?
Exactly

We did manage it
The other guys didn't even have a promotion yet
So I think we did good
I had to clutch up more than once but it was alright
Had to solo an infection
Cauz my team was doing smth
I think it was nitra gathering
Was getting real pissed off from all the infected glyphid
Hello 🙂 anyone else got the problem that you can't join or invite a friend on PS5? We are having that issue for 2 weeks now, before that everything was fine. We haven't changed anything since then...
Yo anybody looking for some squadmates, been playing with this dude but he's super annoying and 'troll' kills me every match, I just wanna play with some chill ppl who won't take it too seriously but also won't be d-bags for no reason if that makes sense 😂. PSN name: benuaLocked
Yo you still need someone
Im up too
Anyone here from England/Ireland?
Yep
You still down?
Me
Anybody wanna join me on Deep Rock? Running my Promotion Qualification
Good morning miners. I am looking to put together a squad of three other dedicated dwarves. I’m around level 40 total and have promoted everyone but the engineer. I depart from the drop pod semi regularly, in the evenings. Voice chat not required but would be sick. If you’re interested pm me, or add me on PS. Username is shawnzomc. Rock and stone brothers.
Sorry bro only seen this now add me
I’m not sure if someone asked already, but is there anyway to carry progression from ps4 to PC without an elaborate data transfer?
Hey wambo
Gotta reply or tag him thoopid.
@shell flame
When your friends leave you for "sleep" whatever that is. You know who doesn't? BOSCO!!! Not only is he 5x better than the 3 other nutsacks on your team, but he also flys, he revives you even when your surrounded by enemys, and dawg has ROCKETS! That's why Bosco is better than any other teammate.
He also doesn't use ammo from your resupply 😃 MORE BULLETS
Sure, that's all true, but I don't laugh as hard. Boscos immortality and usefulness doesn't give you many opportunities to laugh.
Any recent news on the bug that leaves you on the joining screen when trying to play multi-player? I don't have my hopes up but figured I'd ask.
I didn't have any problems when I was playing earlier today.
@fair bridge
I'll probably be hopping on again in about an hour.
Didn't encounter such issue, been playing for few days
I've gotta say being able to mine a gold vein that's 100ft in the air with literally no trouble whatsoever if amazing with bosco, I'd rather spend 10 minutes trying to get up there with some bro's tho 😂
I got that a couple times but restarting the game normally fixed it for me, it's annoying but it seems to fix the issue
@shell flame I wish man. It started towards the end of season 3. There was PS5 update and ever since 95% of the time I get stuck on the join wheel. Only multi-player though, solo works fine. Devs talked about it on here briefly, but that was months ago and I can't find any recent news.
No recent news sadly
Quick way to confirm the issue is happening:
Hit the PS button. If you see yourself showing in a game party, you will need to close the game. Usually you'll see yourself in that lobby on the PS screen but obviously not in the lobby in DRG. The lobby will also disappear from the open lobbies screen which is usually a good sign it's already borked. It hides the lobby bc it thinks you're already in it
When you're "stuck" in the lobby, you actually can't join any other game. It will eventually clear you from the lobby automatically but it takes like 5 minutes for the game to realize you never made it in so it won't let you join another game (or even attempt to join the same lobby you're supposedly in until you remove yourself)
Can save yourself a lot of headache with that quick check bc you'll pretty much know any lobby join will fail while you see that
Source: a guy who's spent way too much time digging into this and chatted with the devs about my findings
I found another work around of sorts that saves me from closing the game. You can test your network connection. Let it run a couple seconds and you'll disconnect from the server briefly. It pulls you outta the softlock but you still need to manually leave party to get a fresh start.
Granted it only saves me from having to restart over and over. I still have to run the gauntlet of joining again.
Lol yea yes it's a pain.
Sometimes I just sit in the space rig messing around for a few minutes instead of restarting bc it figures it out eventually... But other times there's only one seat left and I Speedrun closing and restarting and trying to join again 🤣
But yea those 2 are the easiest ways to know if you're stuck or not:
- look at if PS is showing you in lobby
- did the lobby disappear before you joined
I think this issue has been going on for like 4+ months now
I agree with your other findings. I've seen it say I'm in a lobby on the dashboard and the lobby disappear in the background while the wheel spins. Found that joining a lobby where I'm 2nd in seems to work more often than 3rd or 4th
Yea.... I uhhhh I had a moment one day and switch to support mode so I just went ham on debugging to see what I could find
The real disconnect issue seems to be between PS and DRG. Somehow we're entering the game as far as PS is aware. Which then blocks DRG from letting you try again bc you're in a party 🫠
It's unfortunate. I'd got all my guys to platinum and was looking forward to the ruby push. Now the summer event looks like it's gonna be just me an Bosco. Love Bosco but much rather rock and stone with my fellow miners! Appreciate the help @queen hawk
@fair bridge I wouldn't switch to solo just bc of this tbh.
I still almost exclusively do multi. It's annoying but not game breaking. Just gotta be aware and know when you're stuck (which you seem all set for).
Even with the grievance, I still find it worthwhile to play with others but maybe I'm just jaded about the issue at this point 😅
Been doing multi for 2 years and I'll be damned if infinite loads will keep me from my brethren
And congrats on plat. I'm the same rn. About mid plat for all dwarfs but sadly been playing a little less this season just bc I'm playing a buncha other games at once rn
Also you won't have this problem when joining someone directly via their PS profile or an invite so keep that in your back pocket.
This issue only seems to apply to joining a mission/deep dive lobby from within the DRG menu
O I'll keep trying to multi often for sure. I'm playing some other games too. Looking forward to spreading managed democracy throughout the galaxy when Helldivers 2 drops
Huh, never heard of this one but checking it out.
Been playing aliens fireteam elite and FF7R. Def been good to diversify a bit after going on hard in DRG for way too long
Helldivers 1 was an over the top twinstick shooter. You call in support with different D-pad combinations. Murder bugs Starship Troopers style. The new one is switching to 3rd person. I highly suggest checking out the trailers
Will do 🫡
This just happened to me.
And again. First on “Joining…” then on the loading screen. Played for hours yesterday with no problem.
anybody want to play with a ps4 newb? games more fun with other dwarves

oops wrong chat my bad
Been seeing this type of issue since season 1 but never cared enough to mention it since it wasn't too concerning until now. Now it's definitely getting worse. In the past, there'd be visual glitches like when you're doing Salvage missions and the uplink or refueling pod would show that green aura even after the objective have been completed. Or when you're in escort duty and you can't see the heartstone's health bar. Or for machine events, you can't see the timer or health bars of tritolyte deposit/omen. Essentially if you're not host, you come across a lot of random visual glitches.
Ever since season 4, I've seen an even worse glitch. So pretty much host was doing a tritolyte deposit and I couldn't see the lasers to turn on, but host was turning the lasers on. Heard the audio and everything, but couldn't activate them myself.
Anyone looking to get the party time trophy?
sup im a playstation nood
*noob
just FYI. #lfg-playstation would be a better thread to go to for finding others to play with.
Rock and Stone. You're never alone.
Dissss
You'll find great folks in there
How'd everyone fair on the dives this week?
I wanted to squeeze in one more EDD before reset but alas, lacked the time
Alas, left the cryo gun in storage this week
All I got is stubby
And turrets that go ZAP
No stasis rifle?
Nah, Isaac took it back
Something about his dead wife and some space ship
I wasn't really listening
Does Issac work with drg? He does fight bugs in space while working on a miner ship
I think they let him go after his.... Mental breakdown. Not sure, management doesn't seem to wanna talk about it.
Guess they lost a lotta money or whatever
OG Karl?
I mean... He was an engineer
So good as an engineer he didn't need turrets... And could carry gunner primaries.... And could freeze enemies.... And he could use hoverboots well before we got them...
Wait so maybe those giant crystals we find are markers would explain why the bugs get mad when we try to crack em
Damn maybe he was
Rockpox is just a failed attempt at another marker
Someone tried to build one on a budget... And here we are
So that explains a lot
Also I've been playing aliens fireteam elite and whenever they have swarms they tell things about "you gotta lotta bugs coming your way" and it really feels like mission control from drg
Only... This mission control actually tells you where the hell they are and what they are
Must be a reference
And even tells you where the drop pod is
Lol I wish. I think it's actually just cannon from the movies if I recall
Ah we don’t need any of that we’re here to make the company rich
Lotta alien references and jokes unsurprisingly
🤣 I guess that's the difference. AFE mc wants you home
Unless you vomit or bring home an unexpected lover in which case they will gladly leave you to rot
Hot take, the aliens for The Thing are scarier then the xenos or whatever they’re called
Actually never seen it
Tho Netflix keeps showing me there's some new version or a recent sequel or something
But I've heard about the OG for a crazy amount of years
Nah, it's me. I usually watch top tier trash instead of classics or things considered "good"
I've seen every Sharknado
I own all of resident evil
Lots of trash indeed, and we now have a shark hat in game
Been working my way thru classics over the last 2 ish years tho
Oh I saw... Can't wait
But also fkkkkkkkkkk, I'm so backlogged on assignment rn that I haven't been doing my weekly core or priority assignments
Still haven't finished the S3 part 2 missions
Got 2 promotions undone with another coming up... And now this
My own fault tho. Been less DRG going on and I've kinda reached the point where only season content and promos are relevant
Still love the game tho but I feel less pressured to grind at this point which is actually a good thing
Oh no I agree, always stuff to do. Half the time I'm playing, I'm not doing an assignment
On haz 5 taking a shot after every fail
It's more so that I have the freedom to go do whatever
Lol if you couldn't tell from my name... I fall because I'm drunk 🤣
I do not encourage drinking
Prior to S3, DRG was pretty much all I played
I dwarf
As you can see by my name, you can see what it is I do
.... Ngl, ya got me. Well played dwarf
I need the plans of the space rig, have a project I want to pull of but it’ll hurt.
Space engineers hurts to build sometimes
Tryna make a 3d model?
I get the feeling you can actually get help for this my dwarf
Go ask in #modded-gallery or #modding-approval-discussion
People make mods for the space rig on PC which means they have some sort of way to already access and edit the base model
And can help you figure out scale and whatnot
I guarantee someone there will have what you need
Yes I could but that requires me to gather a bunch of other heavily drunk dwarves to build something without the use of tape
And glue, lots of glue
Cause you know, driller
No you don't need them to help you build it. They can tell you the deets lol
Driller+Engi is the God tier wombo combo of DRG architecture
Scout+Engi ist very good too.
Is the beach party event on PlayStation? Or is it pc first
Saw it on Twitter but it had a link to steam community
It's on ps rn
Rule of thumb is, Events are always the same time across all systems. Updates are what comes out a week early on steam before coming to consoles.
So we will get the update next week then
For updates I mean, season updates mainly. Events like Halloween, yuletide, etc. Those happen on all systems simultaneously.
So we should have this update right?
We should. Yes.

i'm playstationing ur mum rn B)
Do y'all have a problem with joining friends as well?
I just got the game like a week ago and anytime my brother invites me or I join him through the server list(same for him joining me) it says connection error and I cant join anyone
Stoic Mako has a good summary of what may be the issue, and what the fix is. Gunna get their words and paste it here.
Alright, thank you
There are no game servers; it's all peer-to-peer connections. So connection issues are, generally speaking, on your end or on the host's end.
The recent connection issues that have been reported do not affect everyone, and that's making it very hard to find a fix. The only fix that has had consistent results for pretty much everyone experiencing the issue is changing from wired internet to wifi, or from wifi to wired
Quick things to try:
- Reboot console.
- Reboot router.
However, there are some issues that have only been resolved by switching your connection type. For example:
- If you are using wifi, switch to ethernet.
- If you are using an ethernet cable, switch to wifi.
I know it doesn't make a ton of sense, but so far everyone who has tried switching connection types have reported resolving their connection issues.
^
This is what stoic mako mentioned to someone else a couple days ago that had similar connection issues.
We really should get it pinned 😂
Bro it won’t let me send pictures but TWO meteors landed right beside each other and I left with 7 plaguehearts
Thank you
Anyone wanna run some missions just @ me
Someone wanna play?
Anyone up for a silly session of the funny dwarf rock and stone game
Meeee
Bet, whats your psn?
Uhh
hhU
Sorry I didn’t see this 🙁 my psn is Rocket-Grandma. I’m still playing if you wanna!
Sure, just gotta do a few chores
I may be able to play a match now
Just tell me if you are here to recieve the friend request
@stable jay
Sent
Ya ready to play?
Anyone need a driller, or just an extra person?
Im always open
Been experiencing an issue a lot lately where I get stuck on the Joining... prompt when trying to join others sessions. It never loads, and if I cancel, it goes all buggy for a sec and won't let me join any games till I restart. Don't know why ... anyone notice this or got a fix? It makes multi-player basically unplayable without restarting constantly
Known issue
Okay, thanks for the heads up! Hopefully devs can find a fix soon
Uhhhhhhh.... We said that to ourselves like 4+ months ago 🥲 wouldn't get your hopes up but my comment I linked for ya explains how to know it's happening and quick "fixes"
There's a bit of discussion in that thread that can help ya hopefully but yea it's an annoyance. Luckily not game breaking, just annoying
Oh I see. Lol @queen hawk I'll check it out, appreciate ur help
After trying literally everything in order to resolve this, the only thing that REALLY worked was switching from wired to WiFi. It does not make any sense but I’ve never encountered this bug since then.
Anyone else notice that the beach floaties appear super large on the terrain scanner?
mhm
ive noticed that
Guys whats your build for Bullets of Mercy? Im kinda torn between cryo minelets/ifg or fire bolt/stun sweeper
GK2 is 21212
Yo is the game active on PlayStation? I was on Xbox before
That's mental, I refuse to give up my fiber optic lol
Why is my ps4 account not on ps5
Is there a way to get it without a ps4
You have to download it from cloud
Lol, or just take 10 minutes to upload your save from ps4 then download to ps5 @white shale
If you want to move your save data from 1 console to another.
Make sure you upload it so that the saves exist somewhere else other than your local drive because I'm assuming you will not be having that local drive for much longer.
are u supposed to able to mine the compressed granite
Compressed gold? Yes
Granite? No, not a thing
ah but it is, it at the top of the world
past the bed rock
It's called bedrock because if you get to it it's probably time for a nap
Oh I guess I was thinking you were talking like an actual mineral. Tbh I rarely ever go to the top of the map, forgot that was a thing
Yeeee. That's on me, completely forgot this is a thing
Yeah and past it is nothing, ur just outside the map
And yes, you can mine that. I believe it's like 6 or more pickaxe hits (aka it takes forever)
Which is obviously intentional
Only 2 with moutain breaker
Oh nice
But there's nothing to find outside of it that I know of. Really never gone far myself. Think I only even tried once or twice and was like "alright, that was fun. Back to work"
I still haven't found it.
Never tried to after all.
It's when you dig beyond the actual map terrain.
Easiest place to find it is usually digging into the ceiling tunnels left by the drop pod
So usually easiest to find with scout but I think you can find it by digging within the rest of the map if you just go far enough in one direction
Is there 4x xp atm?
Nope
But there is the summer event which has the items you can find for 2x season pass performance. And then there's double XP missions. Season pass XP and character XP are separate things tho so this doesn't add up to 4x iirc
Why I can’t join Someone sometimes
If you find out then tell me
A good question that I can't answer
Try switching from ethernet cable to wifi and see if that fixes your joining issues
Yes i know it sounds crazy but just try
Me and plenty of others fixed our joining issues with that
Im at wifi whole time
hm, curious
no clue
There is no cloud save by default on PlayStation unlike the other platforms. Cloud saves are only available if you have PS Plus, and even then automatic uploading of cloud saves is turned off by default, if I'm not mistaken.
It's just how Sony has their cloud stuff setup, and DRG uses each platform's own cloud setup as there are no DRG game or account servers
So no way to get my account back
Your progress? I believe there's no way other than if you have access to the PS4 you played on and upload the local save to the cloud
You said you're on wifi. You may need to switch to an ethernet cable if that's possible. There's some connection issues that don't affect everyone, but for those with the issue it's only been resolved by switching connection types
Never had this problem
It seems to have started sometime around Season 3, if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure someone experiencing the issue has more information
Lel
I have drg on my PC. Need I to buy it again to play on PS5?
Yes, the platforms are all separate
@onyx current OK I'll give you money but you need to give me a deposit first. Don't worry too bro you'll get it back


I mean, that's how most games work. Sony wants their cut if they're going to put a game on their store
Sony, and all other platforms, don't like to give something away for free
Literally never heard of a game that you pay once to get on every platform
Don't know why someone would get tilted at DRG for something everyone does lol
It was given out for free last year on PS+
Haven't got PS last year
If you get ps+ it should be in the library though.
<@&296918282403840000>
Im broke rn))
That's not true, maybe more recently they're automatically put in library but at the time DRG was free you had to manually add it
If you didn't, you missed the opportunity
You should still buy it if you haven’t though
I’m sorry :c
Lol all good. Edit: Tried to put a gif but ig not allowed
Running thru all 5 missions of the Summer Cruise Assignment:
#lfg-playstation message
Haz5, all ranks welcome
I’ve neglected the sludge pump despite playing the game quite a bit. What are people’s builds and secondary pairings for haz 5? I’ve been messing around with it finally on Haz 4 but I don’t feel great about it. Have all the OCs in the game, no issues there.
I should say, loadouts for the sludge pump in a solo context ideally.
I either run the EPC to ignite my sludge puddles or the Wavecooker with contagion transmitter

Alguien que hable español que sea buena onda para jugar? Xd
you got a spanish-speaking community in #fan-communities if you want to check there
Wha-
Anyways, anyone up for a spiffing game of subterranean sediments beyond the confines of this solar system?
That is by FAR the highest level I’ve seen, so definitely a cheater lmfao
They're probably just very good at video games
Oh yyeah they bought the Puma gaming socks mb mb
😁
They consume nothing but 5 hour energy and energy bars and immediately burn the energy off as they’re DRGing. They only sleep for 15 minutes a day.
And while they’re sleeping they get their mate to play on their account for them, maximize efficiency 🙌🙌
And their friend has the same diet and sleep schedule
Definitely save editor. Realistically, the highest level anyone on Playstation could be is 1000
How long will go the both summer events?
2 weeks. Ends on the 17th
2 weeks for events is the general rule of thumb. The announcements often make a note of the start and end
Bro I gotta do my first elite deep dive solo, any tips bros?
No one is making the missions I need
No Bismor Boo-womp.mp3
Always go with double mining speed for Bosco. And make sure he has at least 3 revives
Thanks bro👍
You're welcome Miner. Rock and Stone.
They unlock the forbidden 25th hour of the day
gasp
Anyone up for someting?
Anyone want's to play Deep rock?
<@&296918282403840000> Spammer here
Can someone play with me I’m new
I can
I can’t join anyone it’s so annoying
Switch to wired ethernet. There's not really another option. You can try a full reboot of your console and router, if you haven't done those already. Sometimes that's enough. But if that doesn't do it, you'll have to switch how you're connected to the internet. It's the only thing that's been working for folks
Will they fix them
Are you asking if the devs will fix the issue?
Yes
They would love to. However, the issue is not affecting everyone. The devs have not been able to recreate or experience the issue on their hardware, so they have not been able to find what's causing it. Unless they can find the cause, all they can do is guess at fixes and hope something works. Until then, all anyone who is affected can do is change internet connection types
This has been the state of things for those affected for a couple of months now, if I'm not mistaken. It's just hard to fix a problem that doesn't exist when you look for it
After every round I can’t join anyone so I have to restart my ps5 after every round
Nice
Im bored as fuck and wanna do some haz 4, anyone up for it?
Just being honest. I don't think they'll ever fix the issue.
Can't be reproduced? Not happening to everyone? In the IT world, that means low priority.
Sucks because it's such a big issue for those it does happen to.
Low priority only in the sense that it can't be directly addressed. But yes, if they can't find the problem, it becomes very, very hard to fix the problem. You can try to guess and fix what might be a problem, but you can do a whole lot of that and never make things better when it's all random guesses. It's frustrating for the devs and for the people who are effected
Hi all, anyone from Australia play on the PlayStation 5? I’m loving the game got my lil driller up to level 23 so far. Feel like playing with people on voice chat will make me enjoy the game even more
Try #lfg-playstation
anyone know why i can’t hear anybody. im on ps5 and have checked settings and everything seems to be fine!
Are you sure anyone is talking? Between the ping and the salute, DRG gives you enough to communicate necessary information without talking, and in my experience most of the random folks I've played with don't seem to feel the need to actually talk on voice chat while playing
If the problem is lost progress, you can check the in-game Options menu, go to Save Menu, then select Restore Save. That will let you download a cloud save. However, cloud saves only exist if you have PS Plus and have previously turned on automatic cloud saves
please tell me why i can't write in jfg chat
My guess is you need the PlayStation role. You can give yourself the role in the #welcome-and-rules channel
thanks, I'll take a look now
Anyone wanna play?
I would but hopping into a game isn’t working ☺️
yeah thac i found the cloud saves and kept my progress
thanks*
You're welcome! Rock and Stone!
I don't know that this works. I've always been wired and have experienced this issue since it first began.
It's been the only thing that's worked for people on wifi who have has connection issues. And, for the people already on wired ethernet, switching to wifi is the only thing that's worked. This is going off of months of comments in here from the people who have had the connection issues that haven't been affecting everyone, so it's all anecdotal but it's been very consistent
There has been at least one person who said it worked and then stopped working, so switching connection types does not seem like a sure-fire permanent fix for the issue, but there's been lots of reports of it working. And an absence of anything else that might help, unfortunately
Huh... Well that sucks but good to know. Def won't be switching to Wi-Fi for one game. For now I kinda just know when it's happening and reset the game or let it fix itself (aka ghost joining issue. Game will figure out you never made it into the lobby)
And gotcha. Thought you were saying wired is the only way to fix it which is why I was a bit doubtful given I'm wired already.
No worries. It's a bizarre fix, so it doesn't make sense any way you say it at first glance
Also what you doing in the PS channel lol. I see that Xbox tag 😝
Agreed. But hey, a workaround is a workaround. No matter how crazy it sounds
The expected recommendation for any game has historically been "go wired," so it's real easy to see this suggestion and think it's a throwaway answer or the flipside and think "go wifi" doesn't make any sense at all. I only started offering the answer after it seemed to be incredibly consistent for many others, because as you point out: I don't even have a PlayStation 🙈
They tagged me but they can't stop me!
Fair enough 🤣
Yea exactly this.. It's why I switched to wired actually
That and it was the only way to reduce the risk of Comcast just screwing me mid raid which happened far too often
I'd do almost any kind of mystic ritual I could find if I thought it might help prevent Comcast from screwing up a gaming session
Yo anyone wanna do the elite deep dive?
Yo I was playing earlier and then all the sudden it won’t let me join missions only lets me solo and I can’t invite friends…
Anyone have any ideas?
Welp. This is game breaking. I'm having the issue too. "this feature is not available due to the following reasons". First it said no network connection, which it even confirms in game that it has. Now it's just saying no reason at all. I thought it was maybe the beta 4.0. So I rolled back to the normal firmware. And nope. Same issue.
Can't play DRG at all now besides solo.
Yah same with me same exact thing
Time to play final fantasy 7 remake. This game is unplayable
Fix this @tight beacon
Pretty please with lootbug on top.
Same problem here in Pacific NW
Seems it's happening on Xbox too.
Oh boy. GSG gunna wake up to a fire tomorrow.
Everyone is getting kicked out of their games as we speak.
Well. It's all peer to peer. Which is interesting.
“This feature is not available due to the following reasons”
Yeah
Friend also having same issue
Same here
And this is why I have single player games. For times like this. 😎
Btw just so everyone knows what troubleshooting I did.
-reverted to non beta firmware
- restarted PS5
Going to reinstall. But I've heard that's not fixing the issue.
☹️
Yeah I restarted ps5, didn’t work
Reinstalled game. Issue persists.
Going to just go back to the beta firmware. That no beep sound is great lol.
We did hard resets of router and playstations, my wife and I are back online with each other 😮💨
Connection lost 😩
GUYS IT'S WORKING.
oof. I got trolled.
I was able to see the list of different games. But join failed.
anyone succeed yet?
Ok. For real. I'm in a game. 👀
Ohhh
Seems it could have been all of PSN having issues.
Network issues.
Can anyone else confirm they can join now?
Still can’t
That's unfortunate
@mossy hatch so after this weird network issue that's currently going on with DRG/PSN, I can now join games on ethernet again.
It's such a weird situation all around
Yeah. Very weird.
I was able to do a game as well. Very odd
It'd be funny if this network blip is what fixes the issue for everyone
With the wifi/ethernet switching issue.
It's fixed for me. At least after one game. Need to go to bed so I'll test more tomorrow.
Alright it’s working normally now
What am I supposed to do with the meteorite fragments.
Break them with a pickaxe ofc
Break them, if they drop something then deposit it
i keep getting stuck and having to abort missions. anyone know how to help?
I cant type in the playstation lfg chanel for some unknown reason, anybody have an idea as to why?
You need to give yourself a role. Probably the PlayStation role, or possibly a class role. Head on over to the #welcome-and-rules channel for the roles
Can't begin to guess what you mean by keep getting stuck, so I'm not sure how to help. It's possible of course, but you can dig yourself out of most binds you find yourself in
i mean, ive been on missions telling me to look for ores and can never find them even when i think i’ve discovered the whole map
Ah, so your learning what to look for. That can be tricky. It's very, very rare that you'll load into a cave that doesn't have enough minerals to complete the objective, but it can happen. Part of it is learning what to look for, and part is learning where to look, and part is learning how to get to the out-of-reach minerals.
I'm guessing you're getting stuck on Morkite, because that's the only one that is a primary objective that you need to be able to complete the mission. Morkite is a dark blue-ish black mineral in the walls, it sparkles and has a slight glow to it so you can sometimes see it even better in the dark. It can be hard to spot when you're in the Azure Weald region, however, because it blends in well with the walls.
The best tip I can offer is to use the Laser Pointer often, especially when starting out. It will tell you on the Laser Pointer display exactly the material it's pointing at, and the display will light up when you're pointing at something important, like minerals and objectives
perfectttt
To add to this, whenever the laser pointer does that beep and you see a circle show up on your screen, it's trying to pinpoint something of interest.
Thank you so much. this is really helpful because of how new I am to this game
You're welcome. Rock and Stone miner.
@tight beacon any chance we can provide any updates on the PSN connection issue? Feels like it's coming up a lot again lately and no one really knows where this sits rn so we're kinda grasping at straws.
At the very least, can we pin the comment from @mossy hatch about switching connections which seems to help? Would be nice to have that pinned to the channel for now
As in you can't join lobbies?
Otherwise if you mean it's not working in general, this isn't the best place.. Better off reaching out to PlayStation support
Bro im not not fucking joke in
Wut?
Can someone play with me
Impossible to play with a friend, not able to join each other's servers and we joined someone's else's server but the server wend down
Servers used to go bad, but this is a new level
Can't find those switching connections suggestions
And then the other part for doing the opposite of you're already using wired connection:
#playstation message
essentially. If your connection isn't working on wifi, use ethernet. Or use wifi if the problem is happening on ethernet.
So I've been testing the past couple hours. Somehow. I was able to connect via ethernet for a game yesterday. And 2 missions today, after yesterday's widespread network issue. But now I can't join again. So it's back to wifi for me.
We're back where we started. Things looked promising but the months long issues remain.
Lol. I miss Heath Ledger. Best Joker.
Does anyone else find that the game is incredibly unoptimized and laggy on this port
To the point where it’s often unplayable
Nah haven't really had that issue but you have to remember it's peer to peer hosting. Aka you and the rest of the lobby determine how laggy it is.
Host with poor connection - laggy experience for everyone
One guy who joins from across the world - laggy experience for everyone
The game is consistently choppy and freezes every time someone joins the game
Or during any meteor event
I doubt it’s a peer to peer issue
Likely someone joining with poor signal or distance.
The meteor one tho... Yea that wouldn't explain it
But I've definitely had laggy games and one the one guy rubberbanding all over the place leaves and it's good as new
But you're right, not always the explanation
Easy way to confirm: play a solo game
If the game isn't laggy, you know it's something about the connection
Since a solo game is offline
If it's still laggy, something is up with the game but they haven't updated the connection stuff recently since the last time they tried to fix the "infinite joining screen" problem during last season
At least that I know of....
I don't like that they made this change where if you take a beer and try to join a game, the beer effect goes away.
Noticed this with season 4.
I'd like to ask for PS4 players, which graphic setting are you playing, fidelity or performance?
Does playing in performance mode make less heat/noise/lag/FPS drop/load time?
To be honest I tried both but it didn't do anything for me
Plz just ignore this message and/or report.

Why cant i join my friend on ps5? It always says Connection failed
Performance on every game
So... I'm not a DRG player. I'm the mom of a DRG player. Who is 5 years old. Playing on his dad's account. I need some help.
He loves playing with a team. Or as he calls it "my friends!"
I can't for the life of me figure out how to keep him from tanking his dad's reputation though. I know he is trying to be a good team player, and he's not awful (I think?) But he is five and ADHD and struggles with nuance and how to be a good team mate.
Mostly I refuse to let him do pick up games because he will get booted or just not pull his weight or sometimes a mission will fail. I make him struggle to complete missions on his own. (jokes The failure and perseverance cycle is good for kids, right?)
I don't want to deny him the fun of this all the time though. How can I coach him to be a better team player?
Can I point him to pick up games with players who are at his level?
How on earth do I find him a team of friends who understand that he is 5 and can help coach him to improve in this weird world I don't understand?
I'm very sorry for being so weird and left field. I'm feeling vulnerable with with this whole thing. I'm just trying to let him do a thing he loves while still parenting responsibly and keeping him safe.
Just have him play on haz 1 or 2. Playing on a lower hazard changes nothing for the dad's account.
Also there's not really a reputation in this game beyond people remembering your player name. It's not like a competitive game where your rank goes up or down based on performance.
But overall unless you put him with others his age (like friends), he'll always be playing with random people and that's just that. In a lower hazard, he'll be less of a "risk" and can learn the game better too
Plus players on haz1 and 2 are usually very chill bc there ain't much risk of failing to begin with imho
Usually can also post in #lfg-playstation
Lotta folks in there that are always happy to help newer or "not so great" players as it's a nice change of pace and some of us like teaching/helping
Just be clear in your post. Something like "looking for someone to help out a new/younger player, age 5" is sufficient
Hazard 3 and up... He will definitely encounter people who aren't as enthused, especially if just joining a random lobby but hey, you never know. I've had kids in my lobby and we got along just fine and I helped em a bit... Just be careful with the mic, kids tend to talk a lot about random stuff or screaming... Which might get him kicked depending on the host
Anybody wanna play? I’m relatively new to the game
I can’t post this in #lfg-playstation because I don’t have my roles up
Head over to the #welcome-and-rules channel and you can select the PlayStation role and roles for your class preferences. That'll let you post in #lfg-playstation
@trim totem hii
Can someone tell me why i cant post on #lfg-playstation but i can post here?
Look two messages above your message 🙂
Ohh ok thanks
You're welcome, Rock and Stone!
Hey fellow brethren! Me and a friend on PS5 were wondering if any 2 people would like to be a team and have some fun? We just want a fun atmosphere lol. Hope we can vibe 🙂
Thank you so much for a comprehensive response
No prob. Hope he has fun 😊
@covert valve I'm definitely down.
My psn is MagicalBannana. Add me whenever
Cheers mate!
Anytime
Quick question, when does the summer event end?
17th
Ah damn.. Alright I'll start the grind for the event tomorrow then. Much appreciated
He had a great time. He finished two group missions today and as he boards the pod to leave on the second one his two year old brother turns off the Playstation and he loses the progress and goodies for the whole mission. Poor kiddo.
Glad to hear he had fun! VodkaNeeded's advice is solid, I hope it continues to help him enjoy DRG.
It's a good community, so hopefully he has the mostly positive experiences we've all come to expect from DRG.
And isn't that what younger brothers are for? 😁
It would seem so! There were root beer floats as a consolation prize and bribe to enjoy some time outdoors in the absolutely stunning summer day.
Sounds like a perfect day to me! Some Deep Rock and root beer floats with the family. Don't think anyone could ask for more. Rock and Stone!
Oooof, I know that had to hurt but glad he's finding his place. There'll always be more missions, tell him not to worry 😅 everything in the game can always be obtained later (aka nothing is really removed from the game) so there's no rush to get things, just have fun 🫡
Consolation prize? I'm jealous, I want that to be my main prize 🥲
His ADHD can make it a bit rough to detangle and transition.
Understandable. I've been there tbh . Kinda grew out of it / learned to work with it to my advantage (usually 😅)
We work a bunch on remembering breathing techniques and that feelings are fine, but we can't hurt others in the process
😂
You should have seen the picture perfect ice cream cone I served myself
Then there was some water squirter time and lessons in early 2000's meme culture via you tube videos like Nyan Cat and hamster dance
One thing I'll warn you about tho...
If ADHD is truly a problem rn, please don't let him do the deep dive missions. They are 3 missions in one go (aka back to back) and usually range from 35-95 minutes. Most hover around 45+ and the general recommendation for anyone in the community is to set aside AT LEAST an hour so keep that in mind
Even bathroom breaks during these can be tough once they get going
Oo. Thanks for the heads up. I usually set aside at least an hour for him, but he doesn't know that sometimes our life means hard stops. In fact I try really hard to give him number of missions, vs number of minutes for this game as I noticed it isn't easy to pause.
That sounds like a good way to do it. Regular missions typically range from 10 - 30 minutes, if that helps you figure out how many missions to allow
Yea having to drop during a normal mission is usually ok bc someone else can join and take your spot...
but people are usually very unhappy if you leave during a dive bc it locks once it starts aka if he leaves, there's no way for someone to join and take his spot, the team will just be down one person until they finish or fail the dive
He'll be cutting down drastically once he starts kindergarten. I like supporting the things he enjoys, but this is so much more complex than my understanding of things. I think that gaming teaches valuable stuff, but at 5 he still needs to be weird in the sun and dirt sometimes too. Ugh. I'm going to become my mom and drag him out for hikes as a teen and he is going to moan
I also really don't wanna screw a team
Exactly. For now, it's best to just let your husband do those and maybe he can watch or help with one of the stages but in general these missions are also Hazard 3+ which is already above the level I'd recommended to ya so another reason to just avoid em for now
How can I identify a deep dive? (I have only heard that term in one of my podcasts about the Dugger Family and the cult of IBLP, so I'm pretty sure that's not helpful here)
I can't comment 😅 been playing games since my youth but you're right, there is a balance that needs to be found
You'll know. They are in a separate terminal over by the giant windows in the space rig. You have to specifically join or start one. They don't show in the normal missions screen
And it'll say it at the bottom of the screen or on the pause screen
My mom was really strict with video games and they weren't allowed in my house. I never got comfortable with them, even though I do enjoy them. I feel some envy at kids who got to do this.
It's unlikely he'll accidentally join one so more a warning in case he wants to do them
Okay. So since he usually only goes to the big mission screen it shouldn't be easy for him to trip into
He's been telling me he needs to do missions that advance his character (I think?) He called them the double line missions, but they had a diamond icon on them. The fact that he understands this already is wild.
Assignment missions. Yea these are good for getting items or promoting your character. It'll tell you what the mission is for / prizes. If you don't see that diamond, he's just doing a random mission which is totally fine
Okay. I try to monitor his play, but... it's pretty much the only time of Day I can work. Toddler is napping, we do our reading practice, then he gets his dwarves.
He'll be fine. Like I said, it's hard to accidentally walk into one given it's separate from the main mission menu but he may get curious and walk over to the terminal
That's my main concern.
Nothing will burn down if he does.
It'll just be a failed mission and he may get kicked from the lobby. No harm usually as I don't think he would get beyond the first stage.
Also he just announced that when villains are in trouble he will shoot tomatoes at them. He just turned a stomp rocket base and the volunteer tomatoes from our garden into a gun
