[lime tundra]

I guess in exchange it doesn't have the long potential range of turret whip, but with good use of repellent you can path things into both emd and arc's aoe, so they can be extremely efficient

[wise kiln]

Oh damn, that is good. That's something I'm learning quickly, and recently, is how the OCs really change up how you'd conventionally think about any given weapon, as it can synergize with another part of a class's kit entirely. Devs (and also the playerbase that push the game's limits) deserve credit for that, because not many games in this genre have achieved that to a great degree 👍

Went for an Engi OC with a blank core just now, got the Stubby... Super Slim Rounds, rip 🥲

[grave oriole]

EDD be going fine then boom Bulk Detonator, 2 Glyphid Menaces, a Spitballer, Naedocyte Breeder and Trawler

Funny thing is that we all died to fall damage instead of the listed enemies

[patent portal]

With Warthog/Turret Whip, Fat Boy and Prox Mines, I feel like a Dwarven pirate. And that makes me happy.

[thin stratus]

I don't know if it's a recent thing or PS4 players joining my PS5 game or what but the loading times for people jumping into my Public games has been excruciating lately. Sometimes being completely unacceptable.

[wise kiln]

Could be a combination of PS4 players and/or their distance from you, if you're host, especially if the host is playing at off peak hours. I'd imagine, anyway.

Blank core... Engi... Stubby... Turret Arc 😑

[thin stratus]

Sure, that's standard procedure but it has never been this bad before. Unless I just happen to be running into those particular players in bunches now.

[hybrid parcel]

Bruh sometimes i cant join friends at all ill sit there for half a hour and itll load and load until finally playing that lobby sound for a second before disconnecting, more when their in game. Annoying cause sometimes ill just be forced to wait till their done because joining in game just constantly says "lost connection" but idk could be their internet or whatever god knows

[bitter sinew]

i just switched to ps5 today, and after doing the data transfer and getting my save from my ps4 i noticed all my trophies are gone. i got big spender after ordering 1 glyphid slammer (didn't have that trophy before)

tried syncing trophies with psn, doesn't work

maybe it's because it's the ps5 version?

how do i get all my trophies back

[mossy hatch]

I could be mistaken, but I seem to recall the trophies being separate for each version.
So if you play on a PS4 and then move to a PS5 but continue playing the PS4 version on your PS5 console, you'll see all your trophies. But when you start the PS5 version on the PS5 console, you'll see the new list of trophies.
Also, I believe any trophy that tracks progress over time (like completing 100 solo mission) should retain their progress and trigger when their progress gets updated. For example, if you completed 100 solo missions on PS4, got the trophy there, moved to the PS5 version and imported your save, all you should need to do is complete 1 solo mission for the trophy to trigger for the PS5 version (because the game knows your save file has already done over 100 solo missions, but it needs that counter updated once to trigger the trophy being awarded).
I think...

[bitter sinew]

what about grinding a pipe for 120 seconds and staying in a cave for more than an hour?

do i have to do those 2 again?

or will they update randomly too

[mossy hatch]

Those aren't accumulated progress that's tracked in your save file, as it's just a one-off event, so trophies like those (and the barrel game, and the deep dive speed run) will have to be actually completed again in the PS5 version

[bitter sinew]

damn

[wise kiln]

You shouldn't have lost any trophies from the PS4 list. I'm unsure if trophies auto-pop if you're transferring a save file to the PS5 version, if that's what you were looking to do. I'd be surprised, though, if some trophies didn't auto-pop for progression stuff like promotions.

[bitter sinew]

is the ps5 version better or should i just reinstall the ps4 one?

[mossy hatch]

None of the trophies should randomly be given. They should just pop when the trophy triggering event happens again.
In the case of one-off events, you have to make that event happen again.
In the case of progress trophies, its when the progress gets updated

I mean, if you like trophies now you can get more trophies...

[bitter sinew]

i was hoping it would pop by itself since the pipe and 1hour one popped randomly quite a long time after i did it and it didn't pop then

[mossy hatch]

Trophies were bugged for a while, so it's possible that's why it took a while for them to pop

[bitter sinew]

not particularly, was just hoping to plat drg

[mossy hatch]

Ah, gotcha

[bitter sinew]

oh well

thanks for the help

[mossy hatch]

Well, the more time-comsuming progress trophies should have all of their progress. You'll just need to do the one-offs again

Things like get all the dwarves to gold level, for example. You're not having to start those over

And some of the one-offs, like riding a pipe for 2 minutes can be fun to set up and complete. Some, maybe not as much...

[thin crypt]

Getting everybody gold is a couple hundred hours at least so there’s plenty of time

[lime tundra]

yeah there's no autopop from 4 to 5 that I'm aware of

though I hadn't thought about making use of save file transfer to get most of them done quickly, hmmmm

[crystal wraith]

I wish u could sort and delete trophies

Like some games I started got a trophy after 5 minutes and stopped playing

And now its just sitting there

[bitter sinew]

oh well haven't gotten there yet anyways, just 1 promo for all dwarves except scout who has 3

[thin crypt]

You can hide them at least I think

[umbral pasture]

Why are all the trophy images related to promotions upside down?

[velvet magnet]

Obviously cuz the dwarves throw them in the air to celebrate

[elder swallow]

i cant unsee it now

why

[wise kiln]

Story of my life 😔 I only play on PlayStation now either for friends or exclusive titles.

[wise kiln]

Reminds me of Overwatch's portrait borders lol.

[crystal wraith]

Yea you can hide them but it's mostly for my own tidyness rather than anything else haha I dont wanna give some crappy game that hands you a trophy for jumping a block in the tutorial to have a place on my shelf

Just feels like it's a photo album and right in the middle of it is a picture from the store guy developing it

[tired cargo]

Anyone having trouble getting in game?

[wise kiln]

Not me. What's your situation?

[tired cargo]

So I load the game, Coffee stan and ghost ship icons appear, then instand of getting the regular deep rock menu

it says deep rock galactic loading

with a running man

Tried closing and opening and still the same thing

[wise kiln]

I'd try restarting your console, checking internet connection, do the internet connection test on your console, and worst case I think you would have to uninstall and reinstall the game, but make sure you have your save files backed up. I've never encountered the issue you're having, so, not sure what's causing it specifically 🤔

[tired cargo]

Okay thanks for the help!

[crystal wraith]

I ll give up on trying to solo this weeks EDD, I feel like its generally easier but those sandworms can rock and stone my pickaxe 😅

[topaz nexus]

Anyone know if we can transfer ps4 safe to ps5

Cus one of my friends is having problems with that

[covert valve]

This is such a brutal achievement.

[covert valve]

Show the bugs who's the dwarf

[soft vault]

Anyone experiencing one or more of the following…

1. Can’t switch Arrows on crossbow.
2. Unable to mine nitra or red sugar
3. Dropping through the floor/map

[rustic ore]

Number 3 for me

[soft vault]

Out of 3 runs on EDD issue 1. Only happened once on stage 2, second run.

Issue 2. happened on the second run (stage 2) and third run (red sugar only stage 3). My friend wasn’t able to see the nitra and red sugar I could see but mining it gave me nothing, I also wasn’t able to see the nitra and red sugar he could see.

Issue 3. happened on Stage 2 on the second and third runs luckily on that third run I had tunnel rat so didn’t go down every time it happened.

On the first run I did notice that someone that joined via matchmaking was also having issue(s) I saw them drop through the floor/map.

[solar sorrel]

The issues you are describing are most often tied to to a bad connection between host and client

[crystal wraith]

tried it with randoms definetly had a lot of fun runs but the start to the first stage is too brutal for most randoms unfortunately haha

[crystal wraith]

does anyone know how the mineral mania works? I Just did a haz4 complex3 escort and I found two chunks of bismor 😐

[frigid adder]

It do happen

kinda dissapointed on that anomaly specifically

[crystal wraith]

Yea its probably just biases but I feel like that anomaly doesnt really do much effectively

just did a xp anomaly elimination and in the landing room alone was 4 magnite veins

thats why I am asking how does it work, like does it increase the chance by x amount to spawn but if you have bad rng it still means nothing

or is there a set amount of ores that spawn and the anomaly doubles it

[soft vault]

I’ve connected to this specific host plenty of times with no issues, I’ve also matchmade/joined plenty of randoms before today and never experienced the issues I’ve listed even when the host does have a bad connection confirmed by the connection stats on the HUD, high ping spikes w/ packet loss I’ve usually experienced rubber-banding/delay but this time every other aspect of gameplay was fine plus ping was low with no packet loss.

[soft vault]

Found this video, exact issue I was experiencing with nitra. https://youtu.be/SvyMYyKpXuA

Comment says it’s a desync issue that was happening during experimental S2

[grave oriole]

3rd mission in the Deep Dive and it's taking longer than 5 mins to load in I am getting worried

[grave oriole]

We got it

[amber flint]

anyone got past the second mission on the edd? Id like to know what you did for the scans

[eager orchid]

Do we know if cross save is planned for pc to ps4 and vice versa?

[south fjord]

nose

[mossy hatch]

There's been no word of it being a planned thing, so I think the safe assumption is it's not planned

[sharp delta]

Yes, had that hell happen to me on a deep dive the other night. Fortunately it stopped when it moved to the next map.

Any high hazard level groups that regularly play? I want to do more hazard level 5 drops but feel you need an organized/outfitted group that communicates effectively to do them fluently.

[wise kiln]

Thought it was funny that my dwarf just said, "team me up with a bunch of greenbeards..." in a sort of begrudging tone, after a haz 4 mission. Tried looking up the voice line in the wiki, but it's not there, wonder if it's a new voice line?

I've moved on to Driller a bit. I'm digging Tuned Cooler on Cryo Cannon, currently with 32222, so, 11 freezing power, stops pretty much anything rather quickly. And I'm swapping to CWC to finish off frozen targets, though, maybe Subata would be better? Ammo is an issue sometimes, though, especially if my team and I aren't coordinating enough on frozen targets.

I also got the Volatile Impact Mixture for the Sludge Pump, and it's kind of good? I'm not sure what I love more, debuffing and AoE with the charge shots, or big DPS melting with the former OC. Then, of course, I'm still rocking the Sticky Flames build I was recommended in here, and that's a solid pick every time, especially against machines. It's definitely a good dilemma the Driller has with all three of his primaries being so good.

[topaz nexus]

I don't even its a thing for ps4 to ps5 cus many are having trouble transferring their save data

[crystal wraith]

just had the most cursed EDD, first stage ofc the dreadnoughts pop right away and on second stage no one was able to pick up nitra or sugar 😄

[novel storm]

So they popped for you too

[wise kiln]

Was just in a similar situation. The dreadnaught egg was on the ceiling right where the refinery drills through, so, I'm assuming that's just how this week's EDD is generated 🤷‍♂️ I'd say the worst aspect was random Nemmy spawning, but it was my random teammate insisting on the first 3-4 tries that we hack the turrets first... like, dude, you wanna hack with dreads around, are you high? I eventually spammed my ping enough times on the far side of the level that they realized it was smarter to dispatch the dreads FIRST, then go for everything else. Wiped on 2nd stage cause, idek, swarmed, and maybe I was the only one with quick rez, but also no one else had IW and Vampire, it was a weird try this week, and I'm lamenting no one in my LFG group being around to try the EDD this afternoon 😩

[lime tundra]

so you also had the refinery drill through? weird. I know I heard someone else on ps say they got it, but we had no issues with that on our run (3man), we had time to go take out the turrets and play the level as usual, popping the dread when we were ready

[wise kiln]

Nice. So, yeah, I guess it is random, then?

[topaz nexus]

No tf it happened to me too

Twice

[lime tundra]

how many players were you guys doing it with?

number of players does affect static spawns, though I haven't heard of it affecting drilling locations

[wise kiln]

Good point. Full 4 man for me.

[prime wedge]

someone wanna play?

[crystal wraith]

I also think it has something to do with ps4 and ps5 players playing? I was playing with randoms yesterday also in a 4 man and had the normal start to the first level where the egg is on the other site of the map waiting + on the second stage everything was fine.

[lime tundra]

oh, I could see whether the host is on ps4 or ps5 potentially making a difference, even if it probably shouldn't

[crystal wraith]

the edd I did with a fixed group had none of that, egg pops right away, layout for the second stage is different although similar, none of us can pick up any nitra, red sugar or gold, a worm grabber janks one of our guys through the wall kills him and our buddies corpse was flayling around inside the wall until we managed to kill the worm, then he fell through the map and appeared normally on some ground, 3rd stage we were able to pick up nitra again if anyone is interested

[lime tundra]

in my case I was hosting on ps4 ver (on ps5)

[crystal wraith]

yea the guy we had hosting was on ps5 so we assumed it was that

[lime tundra]

interestingly we had the same bug of none of the clients could pick up nitra/sugar/etc on stage2

as host I was fine so I had to do all the mining

[crystal wraith]

hm with us our host could also not pick up anything but that means it is not directly related to ps5 hosting if you guys had the same bug

[lime tundra]

the worst part is apparently that no pickup bug also seems to remove your extra invin on revive, and potentially even all your invin period

even host couldn't? that's different then

I was host and could still do everything without issue, but it went back to normal on stage3

[crystal wraith]

well cant confirm that cause we absolutely abused the living f out of double gunner shield spam

[lime tundra]

ah these were deaths before we got to the uplink due to unfortunate incidents

only one gunner though so we couldn't do that, thus also had to deal with it some when a bulk walked in during uplink

[crystal wraith]

yea thats what we were trying to avoid no matter what

luckily stage 1 had a plethora of nitra otherwise there was no way we would have made 2nd stage with 0 nitra

[lime tundra]

it had gone down to 2man by the time of uplink because the 3rd guy had to go, and the other guy definitely said "you better not go down during this because I definitely won't be able to get you back up due to no invin"

ah yeah could see that being rough, I alone was still able to mine nitra so we didn't have to dig too deeply into the reserves for it

[crystal wraith]

there was so much weird things going on in stage 2

2 of us said "at least the detonator is almost done" as me and my buddie where like "wait its 3/4 hp still"

one duo saw it almost dead, the other it was pretty much still alive

then that wall thing with the grabber, praetorian gas not exploding on fire contact,

we thought we unlocked a new hazard level

[lime tundra]

oh, I've never seen an enemy hp desync before, that's wild

praet gas has always been finicky though so that's nothing too new

[crystal wraith]

yea especially with the detonator it was not the best time to experience it cause you kinda wanna know when its about to pop

overall it was wild and we had lots of fun just trying to figure out what the f is going on as well as being able to still manage to deal with the situations

that being said I hope its not going to repeat very soon 😅

[lime tundra]

agreed on that

[grave oriole]

I get on today to see a single scout in a Haz 4 Elimination mission with a time of 1 hour and 20 mins

Name of mission is Calm Find but I'm guessing it's anything but Calm

I spawned in the void, I'm currently dying to no oxygen and the scout hasn't loaded in for me

The mission time isn't moving at all

Literally just the void

[pastel parcel]

Lfg

[covert valve]

Lol I joined a haz 4 earlier and the host ended the session when we all died. I would've rather got credit for failing than nothing at all.

[grave oriole]

Yeah I was doing a Deep Dive last night, we were all sitting at the Black Box while the host was wandering around and they died to fall damage from a stabber vine and then abandoned the mission

[surreal iron]

Can i retrieve my data from ps4 to upload onto ps5? I lost a lot of stuff and promotions

[topaz nexus]

Yeah but there some issues going on and probably be patched soon

But some people say they had success transferring their saves

Source: reddit btw

[proven nacelle]

Hello

Dose anyone wanna play

[glacial flume]

That really sucks.

[grave oriole]

Had a good couple of games with this Scout who I was providing platforms for on minerals that he hasn't seen yet and I felt bad when I had to leave but I heard him ordering drinks as I hit leave

[surreal iron]

Welp i lost all my save gotta restart all over again

[astral nexus]

Hello

[worthy kettle]

Anyone know if i can transfer my save from ps5 to ps4 and then back to ps5?

[mossy hatch]

Sony seems to impose some restrictions on converting saves back to PS4, so saves can only be transferred forward from PS4 to PS5

[worthy kettle]

20/4 is my last ps4 save which i can restore back

So at least i can play on the old save

Now my fear is that this save will overwrite my today's ps5 save?

But since u have to transfer the ps4 save to ps5 manually i can just leave my ps5 save untouched right?

[worn gull]

If you play the PS4 ver on PS5 you can freely transfer back and forth between PS4 on PS5 and PS4 on ps4

Afaik you can only transfer save one way from PS4 ver to PS5 ver

I do PS4 on PS5 and thus transfer all the time between my PS4 and PS4 on ps5

The save files for the PS5 ver should be completely separate from a PS4 or PS4 on ps5 save

I only say should though since I haven't directly ever used the PS5 ver

[worthy kettle]

I have transferred my save to ps5 version

Im fine with playing on ps4 version with an older save for 2 weeks

But i dont want that save to automatically overwrite the save on the ps5 version

Wont have access to my ps5 for couple weeks

But just want to play with friends with a ps4 for couple weeks

[worn gull]

I don't have exp with this, but don't you need to manually initiate the save transfer from 4 to 5 ver?

[worthy kettle]

Yes u do

I have done it once

[worn gull]

Though even in my case if I play on my PS4 then go back to my PS4 on ps5, the save doesn't auto overwrite, it realizes that the more recent cloud save is from a different system so waits for you to manually overwrite

If it's manual then I imagine you shouldn't need to be concerned about an automatic overwrite then

[mossy hatch]

You might be able to turn off the cloud saving sync feature on the PS4 and avoid it uploading the older save

[worthy kettle]

Sounds like it should work that way

Thanks for the help guys

Appreciate it

[mossy hatch]

Rock and Stone!

[worn gull]

You can try backing up the PS5 save to USB as a worst case backup though I imagine it should be fine without

Unless they removed that functionality, haven't tried it since ps4

[grave oriole]

wtf I joined a game and we got everything for a Morkite mission and called drop pod and this Driller froze and what I'm assuming is C4'd everyone because 2 of them were in a large crater and I did not hear or see a Bulk Detonator and so I had to drill all the way to the Drop Pod because of swarms and the Driller got downed midway. I escaped and I got kicked

I wanted to go back and save them but I had the Sludge Pump and the CWC and no ammo and it was Elite enemies warning

[covert valve]

Why do so many engineers not know how to build platforms for scouts ?

My primary goal in every mission is nitra. I want 4 supplies. :)

[grave oriole]

I agree so I strive to be the Engineer that builds platforms for Scouts (or Gunners if they use their ziplines) everytime I see a mineral vein above

[thin crypt]

Spoiled by scouts who can power attack their own footholds in the roof

[grave oriole]

Unfortunately some Scouts don't know how to calculate their velocity and trajectory and they end up smacking into the wall and dying to fall damage

[pliant cape]

Anyone tryna play

[hidden halo]

Do you guys think there’s anyway for me to get my data back, because i had to swap my hard drive out of my playstation and i don’t have any of my progress. Also i did not upload my data because i don’t have ps plus on my account

[umbral pasture]

unless you made USB backup, nope

[lime solar]

where is the russian language???

[wise kiln]

Idk why this bugs me so much, but randoms that race to finish the primary objective and call in the drop pod. I'm literally having to deadeye gunk seeds and hog Molly to keep up, and it's not even exclusive to double XP missions, I get these guys all the time, green and grey beards alike. Wish people could just agree to finish both objectives 🤦‍♂️

[magic sluice]

are you hosting or are they?

[foggy imp]

thats why you always host double xp

[wise kiln]

I host 99% of the games I play in DRG.

[magic sluice]

then they're just asshole players, kick em.
any player who doesnt let the host decide when to call the drop pod deserves to be kicked, greenbeards can be excused but any higher level player is just an asshole

[wise kiln]

Yeah, some times I just forget or let it go. Any time I do join someone else's game, usually a pre-made tbf, I just don't even fuck with buttons unless we're all in rock 'n' stoning agreement, cause yeah, host's game, they should be the ones to start an event or call in drop pod, etc.

[magic sluice]

event starting id say isnt as strict, often times when we have a core event and the host ignores it i start it after they call the drop pod and just let it run out, for the extra xp

[wise kiln]

How much extra XP do you get from starting an event after drop pod is called? Assuming you're not sticking around to finish it, or yeah?

[magic sluice]

i mean letting it run out, you get the same xp if you finish or fail it, at least thats what i read

[wise kiln]

Ah, nice, never knew that, but it makes sense. I usually try to go for everything: events, hidden cache, tyrants, etc. as long as it's not really going out of the way.

[thin crypt]

Yea I’m always watching people that are staying to close to Molly when the primary’s done and the secondaries not or there’s an event or something left to do

Usually I’ll just split off and keep Molly constantly called to where I’m at so they can’t call in the pod if I think they might

[wise kiln]

^ this lmao. Hate that I'm starting to get paranoid about it 😅

[glass trail]

Benefits of playing with a good friend

[covert valve]

I'd argue that hosts that kick are the assholes. Teams are dynamic and fluctuate and every player contributes , although questionable. I'd hate to waste a players time with a kick only because I've been troll kicked.

[magic sluice]

if you take the choice of calling the droppod away from the host you deserve to be kicked

[fluid echo]

?

[grim robin]

No ben

[magic sluice]

there is certail player etiquette, like leaving the drop pod calling up to the host. if you're an asshole and call the drop pod anyways, you deserve to be kicked or teamkilled

[fluid echo]

huh

[magic sluice]

if you just want to rush through a mission, do it solo

[fluid echo]

idk man if both objectives are done and theres no backpacks etc then

[magic sluice]

yea but we're talking about people who call the pod as soon as the main is done or before the whole cave is explored

if you're the host its your right to call the pod early. if you arent the host, its not your right

[fluid echo]

I see

[wise kiln]

I can't recall a time or imagine a scenario where, as host, I've ever waited to call the drop pod once pretty much everything has been done lol. That's definitely not the issue. And Duncan is right, there's community etiquettes in DRG. And sure, the PS DRG community is newer than PC/XB, but some things, like the objectives, should be obvious.

[fluid echo]

I've just never had this issue (or we are missing like one fossil which can be found on the way back)

and this is on pubs

[magic sluice]

i only rarely have players like that too, but when it happens its annoying and i see it as justified to kick or teamkill them, teamkilling only after the main objective is done cause you cant kick after that.

i know teamkilling hurts me too cause i get less of a bonus but its more to vent frustration and teach them a lesson

[wise kiln]

It's not a rampant occurrence, for sure. I host something like, 5-10 games every day, and I'd say it happens at least once a day, like I said, that one person rushing primary, popping eggs, ignoring caps, whatever it might be, and they're the first one going for the call button. I get it when it's double XP, especially if it's something that's not refinery or escort, cause yeah, you wanna double, triple dip, but I get it in regular missions, too, and it's annoying, cause it literally only takes an extra minute or two, and no one likes trying to collect stuff or rush an event during countdown with extra spawns swarming you, so.

[willow cloud]

What's up with the negative time?

[wise kiln]

Isn't that how some people are farming XP? 🤔

Finally got Turret Discharge for the Stubby heh heh 😎

[willow cloud]

No clue, saw it when I was looking to join a mission

[quaint zinc]

I like the pfp

[sly roost]

Anyone on?

[sly roost]

I think it’s a time zone thing

[umbral pasture]

once you call escape pod, you can't kick anyone from the game

[umbral pasture]

someone is farming 2XP, just ignore it

[magic sluice]

No, its once you complette the main objective.
But if i cant kick them ill kill them, at least when i can be bothered to do so

[umbral pasture]

sure, but once the escape pod is called, it doesn't really matter

[magic sluice]

Yea, i just do it to vent frustration and hopefully teach them a lesson

It doesnt take away the reward for their work and thats the whole point.
It does however ruin their fun for the rest of the mission, which i think is deserved

[light notch]

Russian is entirely translated, yet it's only 14% proofread. I think it needs to get more proofread to be sent to Sony because, well, technicalities

[lime solar]

👌

[grave oriole]

Was helping a greenbeard Scout with a Tritilyte Deposit and the Antenna Nodes event and we were almost done with the mission but I lost connection at the end

I don't know if it's my internet or the host's because this has been happening a lot recently

[wise kiln]

EM Discharge is nice I know it's just swarmers, but also quite nice when a swarm of grunts are all bunched up.

I also really love Bosco's new skin 🤟

[thin crypt]

Flying caution tape barrel is gonna be hard to top

[drifting sail]

Cannot give up surplus barrel skin.

[random forge]

Each skin is a different flavor for the surplus barrel

[magic sluice]

EM discharge is one OC i still want, hopefully ill get it soon

[lyric tapir]

Oh damn. Haven’t even seen this before. I’ve been trying out the Turret Whip. Does the EM use up too much of the sentry ammo?

[amber flint]

Anyone know why the map gen for this weeks edd is different on ps5 host?

Like the egg on mission one being near the refinery and mission two you can't mine resources?

Haven't even seen what mission 3 is like on ps5 but I could imagine

[unborn cypress]

Just a friendly alert, get your barrel-drop pod related achievements before the latest steam patch makes its way over

[magic sluice]

why?

[bold galleon]

They nerfed the kicking. The cool down is longer.

Thankfully I already got the barrel trophies.

But yeah. Don't know why they needed to change that. Smh

It was hard enough getting the barrels up the ramp of the drop pod.

[velvet magnet]

Ok that's plain evil GSG

As if it wasnt bad enough we couldnt pass interaction time by R&Sing

[swift sonnet]

Hi, if any Devs see this, can you please fix the season challenge reroll on playstation?

[unborn cypress]

We're all hoping they reverse it like the dice but, just get it done if you can in case

[raw garden]

wait, did they take that feature out or something?

that would absurd

the reroll worked fine for me the past days

[swift sonnet]

It hasn't worked for me or my roommate (PS5 AND PS4) since the new season started

[raw garden]

yikes

[swift sonnet]

Did you do anything besides hover over the icon?

I've tried everything

No luck

[bold galleon]

They are reverting it. Someone said they responded on reddit apparently. Dice roll revert scenario all over again lol.

[raw garden]

it just worked for our squad since the first day of S2. we didnt even know there was a bug related to it

we all play on PS5

[magic sluice]

you have to hover over the icon on the right bottom of the square and then just press X

[swift sonnet]

Yes, I know. There is no prompt when I do that

[swift sonnet]

I don't even think the refresh icon is there for me anymore

[magic sluice]

hmm

[swift sonnet]

Literally stopped working for us on both consoles as soon as the update hit

[swift sonnet]

[raw garden]

very strange

[bold galleon]

Have you tried rerolling at the season terminal itself? I've never tried rerolling in the map screen.

Right now, I can reroll at season terminal. But yes. Like you showed, I can't reroll in the map screen

Didn't know it was a thing, since I've always done it at the terminal

[swift sonnet]

Wow, i didn't know you could do this in the terminal. I only ever did it on the map. Thanks for solving it for me!

[wise kiln]

Turret whip is good, but yeah, the ammo drain is its downside. EM doesn't use up any turret ammo from what I can tell, thankfully 👍 only downside is that it can friendly fire.

[wise kiln]

lol I honestly didn't even know you could do it any other way, or that there was an issue with rerolling the dailies. Always done it at the seasonal reward terminal, and it's been working for me since launch.

[magic sluice]

i didnt even know you could check your dailies on the map screen

[raw garden]

same here

[drifting sail]

EM discharge uses Stubby ammo, not turret ammo. It's fantastic.

[lime tundra]

I feel like whip would be able to too, just you're usually shooting enemies farther away so are less likely to. emd has a 10% ff modifier, so it does almost no ff damage in the first place, but it's still enough to stop shield regen, so I usually try to put them away from the team normally stands (aka not right ontop of the uplink, though it's an option in an emergency)

[wise kiln]

Good point about the shield regen. Shame the turret can't fire in 360 degrees 😄

[light notch]

hawkeye turrets should

[neon gorge]

you mean hawkeye

[light notch]

you saw nothing out of the ordinary

[lusty matrix]

Hey uh sorry to bother but i just re-installed the game after not playing for a few months and lost all my progress if this a known problem is there anyway to fix it?

[drifting sail]

Unless you backed up to cloud...?

[lusty matrix]

Oh no i didnt thats my bad didnt know you had to back up a psn multiplayer game manually rip

Honestly ill just delete the game lmao too bored to grind everything again

[drifting sail]

It's nbd, after promotion progression is just for cosmetics

Hop into a couple haz3 double xp and you'll be fine

[main pulsar]

Hey is there a way to connect our account to here? Like someone mentioned being a part of a list here with our PlayStation accounts on a YouTube vid.

[hollow tartan]

formatted my ps4 and I lost all of my stats, mods, promotions, etc

what do I do?

[wise kiln]

How do you mean? You can link your PSN and Discord accounts to show off your what you're playing as your status.

[wise kiln]

Is your save backed up on the PS+ cloud? If not...

[hollow tartan]

it was but it got overwritten

I am fucked aren't i

[wise kiln]

Oof 👀 my condolences, man.

[hollow tartan]

FUVK

why are saves stored locally anyway?

isn't it supposed to be in the drg servers or smth?

or

can't it be?

[wise kiln]

Game-by-game basis, really.

[hollow tartan]

wdym

[wise kiln]

Some games store your data on their own servers, others don't.

[hollow tartan]

well shit

guess I'm quitting deep rock now

[wise kiln]

o7

Honestly surprised, you're like the third guy in the last few days that's brought up being in a similar situation, but I guess it can happen.

[hollow tartan]

wow

I guess a lot of people have old systems and have common electricity cuts in their area?

cuz that's the main reason why people have to format their system

[mossy hatch]

There are no servers for DRG. It uses peer-to-peer connections for multiplayer. Everything is either saved locally or potentially in the PlayStation Plus cloud if you pay for that service and turn on auto-sync to cloud. That's how Sony has set that up

[hollow tartan]

ah so players host their servers

well that makes sense now

alright thanks for the help!

I'll get to grinding again :(

[wise kiln]

300 hours in this game and I didn't even realize hawkeye turrets fire in all directions lol.

[solar sorrel]

It's not that Hawkeye turrets fire in all directions, it's that defender turrets are the only ones that don't...

[cursive cape]

My save data is corrupted how do i fix it?

[feral wave]

There is no fix for a borked save, all you can do is delete it and restore a pre-glitch save from either a USB drive or the PS+ Save File Cloud :(.

[covert valve]

I would like three rookies to become friends with and play Deep Rock Galactic with. This game is a masterpiece, but I grow tired of hanging out with veteran players.

[raw garden]

can you get a ps5 save to ps4 as well and use the same account/save on 2 systems

long story short, one of our buddies is currently at a friends house who only own a ps4 and he wants to play DRG there with us

[umbral pasture]

you can't

[raw garden]

why not

seems strange no?

[willow cloud]

Probably an authentication thing but not sure

[covert valve]

So...anyone?

I can hang with?

[lime tundra]

general sony thing, they don't seem to want you to be able to transfer saves from ps5 versions to ps4, only ps4 to ps5

I'm only aware of a tiny handful of games that let you go backwards like that

drg is definitely not one of them

[wise kiln]

I've only ever used the Defender turret 🥲

[lime tundra]

it's fine, you made the right choice. the damage increase is so big it's almost never worthwhile taking hawkeye

the lowered angle isn't too hard to compensate for, and hawkeye's extra range usually doesn't matter. the main time hawkeye would be useful is if using turret whip so you can have it shoot exactly where you want it

[covert valve]

I agree; Hawkeye is the weakest Avenger. If you bring him to a defend or escort event you're letting down the team.

[raw garden]

that's bizarre especially since you can jailbreak the ps4 and modify ps4 save games while that's not possible on ps5

but sony being sony i guess lol

[lime tundra]

yeah that's a thing, but I doubt that affects their decision much

I imagine it's more to "encourage" people to not go back or something once they get a ps5

I bypass it by just playing the ps4 ver on ps5 so I can still transfer my save to my ps4

[raw garden]

why would anyone go bak to ps4 after ps5 😂

enjoy 30 fps guys!!

kek

[lime tundra]

most games aren't specifically optimized for the ps5, so ps4 ver on ps5 isn't really that big of a difference compared to native ps5 ver

[raw garden]

but yeah, sony being sony

[lime tundra]

I gave my ps4 to a friend and play stuff on it while at their place, so it's a pretty easy reason

[raw garden]

the 120 hz mode is def a huge difference in my book

i only play DRG on the 120hz mode

[lime tundra]

my monitor doesn't support it, so no difference to me

[raw garden]

hell even 60 fps feels strange now funny enough

[raw garden]

fair enough

[lime tundra]

can see it being useful for you

[ornate vine]

i heard that in normal drg chat bugs here get noticed by devs fast

[wise kiln]

Yeah, after ~9 years of PC gaming at 100+ fps, the difference between 60 and 100+ is pretty minimal and tantamount to 'sure, it's smoother'. Definitely nice, though, but not a super huge game changer for me, personally.

Also, dear gold Scout in my DD just now that hogged Molly more than our Gunner, just 🤦‍♂️ I expected to maybe out-kill you, but how the hell did I also out-mine you as Driller. Anyway, pretty smooth run otherwise with randoms again this week. Not looking forward to stage 2 of the EDD 👀

I was using Blistering Necrosis on the Colette during the DD, but honestly didn't notice 'blisters' on any of the enemies I was shooting. Wondering if it doesn't work on armor? I was assuming they'd kind of look like the blisters on the bulk detonators 🤔 maybe I just didn't see them.

[ornate vine]

not sure if its client side but pickaxe cancelling seems to be worse after s2

before it was super smooth but now theres like a half a second for when i release pickaxing

and back to axing

[sacred parcel]

How are people doing text to chat in PS? I've seen it before but idk how they're doing it

[wise kiln]

Double press L3 👍 not sure if it has to be turned on in settings, though.

Sorry R3*

L3 is dash lol.

[sacred parcel]

Oh damn lmao that's a really not obvious interaction to do that but thanks lol

[wise kiln]

There's only so much a gamepad can do over a mouse and keyboard 😅 they definitely had to get a little creative with porting the game over from PC.

[covert valve]

120hz vs 60 fps is actually a huge difference, I only play 120hz drg as well. You can tell difference easily tho. It’s definitely not just a little smoother…

[covert valve]

I’ve noticed the same but also servers affect a lot (and your ping to that).

[covert valve]

You could also plug in keyboard and hit enter. That’s how it used to be b4 S2, but with s2 they brought up controls to controller too.

[sacred parcel]

Ohhh okay

[covert valve]

I'm really looking for a squad of friends to hang with.

[tranquil fern]

Hey did you do an EDD yesterday with randoms? I'm just curious to see if I played with ya

[crystal wraith]

does anyone know what you can do if you activate a helmet but there is no purple cross or extra room?

are we just bugged or is there smoething you can do

[covert valve]

I'm a rookie. I do not know all the game modes by name. But I can recognize them. Remind me what that is.

Elite? Probably not.

I could though. I'm a good Engineer.

Everyone add me.

My username is on my account.

[crystal wraith]

thats a nice about me you have there

you got hit with a drop pod 2 or 3 too many times?

[covert valve]

Actually, no. It's sometimes the supply pod.

[willow cloud]

Love when you just get kicked because you go down twice when everyone else has gone down more than five times each lol

[wise kiln]

Weird. Yeah, if you zoomed the map all the way out, etc. and it's still nowhere, then, probably bugged 🤷‍♂️ I wonder what the lost helmet reward is if you've already got everything? just in the case that's a scenario for everyone else in the team, too.

[wise kiln]

Seriously, smh 🙄

[mossy hatch]

If you've already collected everything from the Helmets/Lost Packs, you get a message saying you've already collected everything. There are always minerals scattered around Lost Packs though, so you get those at least

[molten cove]

Hey guys, I've got a question

PS5 players can play with PS4 players, right?

[wise kiln]

Affirmative.

[molten cove]

Thanks, I appreciate it! I convinced a friend of mine to pick up the game, but I thought I should make sure we can actually play together first

[lime tundra]

I forget if blisters could show up on armor or not, I feel like no? but check lazymaybe's cwc vid for an example (and the rest of his useful breakdown)

the blisters are flat though, they don't bulge out like a bulk's do (I thought the same as you til I saw them)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXBVo1SKB4o

[lime tundra]

never seen it bug out like that, and I've done enough to empty them out. maybe you were too far away? as sometimes I've had to zoom waaaaay out to find them

hard to rec necrosis right now though since it's only good for pretty much flamethrower and a potential detriment to the rest of the team

at least once we get the buff that pc got yesterday it'll be a ton better

[covert valve]

LMAO.

[covert valve]

Was it haz 5?

Buenas noches tengo un problema y me encantaria que lo puedan resolver

Reinicie mi ps4 y perdi mi progreso en DRG por lo que me encataria recuperarlo ya que tenia mis personajes favoritos bastante avanzados y me da pereza empezar desde cero

Lo comunico por aqui ya que no hay una pagina oficial o un lugar en donde pueda llevar un proceso para resolver problemas, el juego me gusta bastante por lo que me gustaria que me resolvieran el problema para poder seguir disfrutando del mismo

☝️

Mis disculpas, ya que estoy usando el traductor de Google para darle una respuesta. Hasta donde yo sé, los datos guardados se almacenan localmente, por lo que si su archivo guardado de Deep Rock Galactic se ha ido de su PS4, entonces debe tenerlo en PS + Cloud o hacer una copia de seguridad antes en un USB o HDD, o bien está perdido.

[wise kiln]

My god, the text vs actual result of some of the things in DRG drive me up a wall sometimes lol, "Chance to spawn weakpoints on hit enemies," then in the video, "Boils aren't actual weakpoints," 🤕 thank you, though, that video was great for informing me on the CWC, but also wth, where's damage floaters for console?! I'd love that!

[lime tundra]

power of pc and mods

[wise kiln]

Yeah 😮‍💨

[lime tundra]

it's fine, they'll become weakpoints post patch

at least you can use the info that pc side collects

sadly that patch is nerfing endothermic as well, so I used it one last time yesterday before shelving it forever

nerfing and buffing, but the nerf part of it hurts how I use it a lot

[wise kiln]

"Explosion now fully consumes all plastcrete within its effect radius" 🤔 uh oh, do you mean this?

[lime tundra]

yep.

no more getting 3 explosions from one platform, plus makes it hard to pre-prep some platforms too

also means I can't very lazily blow up all the vents on the caretaker with one set of platforms now either

[crystal wraith]

It was a super tiny 4 egg mission all 3 of us zoomed and looked around everywhere :( we even went up the drop pod tunnel just in case it was weird like that but we ended up just leaving

[crystal wraith]

like

what am I supposed to do standing in uplink zone as a solo

and a detonator walks towards me

actually what is the point

its automatic gg

[crystal wraith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svqtR7b_bik

3rd time this has happened

its just a bad spot design wise

[raw garden]

yeah it happens quite often when we're defending

it's cheap

[crystal wraith]

exactly, it might be fun and challenging with a team so you have to kite leave the area etc. but as a solo its just the game deciding the run is forfeit

the run before that I had 3 opressors in the uplink zone and that was 100% more easy to deal with

I just lost on second stage cause of my mistakes

but here I dont see why I should lose

[pastel parcel]

For some reason I lost the ability to invite

It won't let me invite players

I loaded in a mission and it instantly kicked me then I couldn't start anything

[slim wolf]

yep that happend to me

[raw garden]

i just tested and PSN seems fine for us here. we played multiple games with randoms

it seems region specific then, curious.

its working again for me, so it might be over

[slim wolf]

nice one jsut check and im all good on my end

[willow scaffold]

Same

[knotty merlin]

Looking for 2 ppl to do the Elite Deep Dive

Anyone down?

[covert valve]

Last night I joined some random game lobby. We were loading the mission and 3 of us got kicked out on loading screen. I had to re join the host who was in game and probably wondering why he was alone

[wise kiln]

Kind of sucks that you can't pause while you're alone in a game, even with friends only checked off, only specifically in "solo" mode. Had to use the rest room and came back to a 4 downs mission failure screen 😐

Also, does anyone know if swarms trigger if you, say, drill ahead, further down the map? I just dispatched a swarm, took a short cut by drilling down to a tunnel that would've otherwise been a minute or two ahead, and got another swarm almost immediately after. This was a morkite mission on Haz 4.

[lime tundra]

that's a 🇫

[lime tundra]

announced and unannounced swarms in expedition are purely time based

this doc is about another topic, but has a lot of info about what does what for mission types https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O2hmVsoaSy2qId4jCWOP_pHMXaoGMWqf_MY7RAs6cxI/edit?usp=sharing

[crystal wraith]

so there are swarms that are not announced? I remember dureing the release days me and my friends calling it a bug or bs 😓 we even looked at the recorded footage to make sure we didnt miss the cue

so management really is just watching LOL tuornaments while we are risking our lifes

[drifting sail]

There also are some environmental swarm triggers, like mule legs or eggs. And rooms come with some bugs in them.

A bulk detonator is typing...

[mossy hatch]

During Point Extraction missions, a pretty constant stream of swarms appear unannounced. They're relatively small at first, but they escalate in size and frequency the longer you remain in the mission

[drifting sail]

Makes golden bugs fantastic if the cave is a good bowl shape.

[covert valve]

There’s a way to pause the game if you’re on ps5, if you’re host and “friends only” . It’s actually very simple. Basically don’t close the game and turn ps5 to rest mode. The game is suspended. Once you open the game again you’re in the mission and everything is intact. There’s no time limit in it either, because I once paused mission like this for 2 days. You’re even able to invite people to your paused mission afterwards.

[lime tundra]

there are unannounced miniswarms (1 wave of enemies) and announced swarms (~8 waves of enemies)

unannounced miniswarms happen on every mission type based on time, but there are some extra triggers like getting near a minimule for the first time and digging out the trapped leg, while only some mission types have announced swarms (time based and/or trigger depending)

that doc I linked above covers most all of the info I think? I forget

[crystal wraith]

yea the one that I was talking abuot was dureing morkite, I was just drilling through a wall my friends paying in the nitra and then boom giant mactera swarm, opressors, praetorians etc we almost wiped and thought this was cheap way to try and make us lose but there was no warning for us. I personally feel the one with the minimule etc. feel very intuitive from a game design perspective

[lime tundra]

that could be either the static spawn of enemies already in a room, or a single unannounced wave of enemies, or both if you were just drilling into a new room

I say one wave, but that wave can be pretty big, esp if you get unlucky and highroll the spawn amount for that map

highrolling chances aren't high (I think 5%? I forget), but you sure feel it when you get it

[crystal wraith]

you mentioned earlier that you already have all the cosmetics out of backpacks etc may I ask what your playerlevel is? I feel like I have a lot of progress since I play since "day 1" but I am nowhere near getting all of those cosmetics

[pastel parcel]

I... idk

[magic sluice]

we called in the drop pod but it hasnt spawned in almost 5 minutes now

mission control forgot about us

it said droppod inbound but it hasnt spawned, molly still works like normal, the droppod music plays and there's constant enemy spanws

a player left and now it spawned

damn scouts, now they even prevent the drop pod from spawning

[rough tapir]

Need someone I can do private haz 4 missions with

And is actually decent at the game

[lime tundra]

276, didn't empty them out until a week or two back, though I know some people in here played a lot more than me and got all the backpack cosmetics back in s1

still have a ton of chest cosmetics, but the backpack ones went surprisingly early

far fewer pickaxe cosmetics I suppose

[thin crypt]

I don't know a ton about it but there was an exploit one of my friends did a while ago where he manipulated the level gen by picking a specific date in the system settings

some kind of thing where every mission he did had a backpack and stuff in it

[lime tundra]

I've seen games of people doing time shenanigans to get the double exp no enemy pe missions, but none of those managed consistent backpacks/crates

[thin crypt]

I couldn’t tell you the specifics, he offered to show me but I declined

Cheesing unlocks is like shooting your own end game in the foot

[wise kiln]

I love this, it's like a dissertation of difficulty scaling in DRG 😅 really amazing and highly enlightening again, ty 👍

[wise kiln]

Ah! 👍 I usually don't ever use rest mode while a game is running, but it's something, at least.

[wise kiln]

This happens in so many games, I wonder what causes it 🤔 if it's mostly an infrastructure thing, or on the user's end.

[crystal wraith]

jeez yea I am still far away from that, I guess its still fine cause part of the reason I enjoy jumping into normal missions still is the feeling of "what am I gonna find this time, error cube, backpack, battery?" I think if those options would run out Id be a lot more desperate for content

one thing that I noticed and not sure wether there is some mechanic that I am missing is

today I got the mint skins for the driller weapons as a EDD reward

but I got a singular mint skin for the m1 for the scout

out of a battery

so I am not sure wether being faster with the matrix cores helps clean the battery pool or wether those instances are just split cause one is found in batteries and the other is only found as a matrix core

cause if I d find 5 scout mint skins to then only get the mint scout matrix core I d be a little sad 😛

[proven fractal]

Finished EDD yesterday (team of 3). Definitely the most rewarding one I’ve completed so far! Having a good scout is essential for this deep dive (especially the second phase)!

[inland sigil]

Is there anyway to directly message like on pc

Nvm

[covert valve]

I sure could use some PlayStation friends that play this masterpiece game.

[frosty dune]

Hey anyone else finding the rock solid trophy absolutely impossible?

[drifting sail]

No, just pick your missions carefully. Solo probably easiest with Brosco.

[magic sluice]

take 200 morkite missions, solo with bosco.
if you get dark morkite it makes it even easier

[shell radish]

whats the rock solid trophy?

[magic sluice]

complette 5 haz 5 missions in a row

from start to finish, so you'll need to host them

[worn gull]

You don't need to host them

[magic sluice]

i should add, ignore the secondary objectives and any events you find.
driller is probably the best choice for class, but gunner is also good for dealing with the bugs

[worn gull]

I forget if you need to actually be there at the start though

Since the descs aren't always accurate, like carpool

[magic sluice]

yea you dont but the likelyhood of finding someone who hosts a haz 5 mission is low anyways

[worn gull]

I've joined a fair number

[magic sluice]

yea but finding 5 in a row? and getting lucky with teammates and easy missions. unlikely

[worn gull]

I got the trophy from joins, though I stayed with the same group for a bit so not quite the same

[magic sluice]

if you find someone hosting those glitched has 5 missions with no enemies and double xp, thats also a way to get that achievement

[worn gull]

It can have non haz5 missions in between, as the group I joined was going for it, but I got it halfway through their run

[magic sluice]

pretty sure it cant, its 5 in a row so doing any non haz 5 mission inbetween will break the row

[shell radish]

sounds pretty difficult

[magic sluice]

its not something you do as a greenbeard, but if you do it like i said it'll be fairly easy to do

[shell radish]

with the glitched method?

[worn gull]

That's what it says, but we all know the descs aren't always 100%

[magic sluice]

thats a way yea, buts kind of a cheap way of doing it

[worn gull]

It could easily only count haz5 missions for the in the row part

And thus non haz5 don't break it

[magic sluice]

the best legit way of doing it is to do 200 morkite missions solo

[worn gull]

Because that's exactly what happened to me

[shell radish]

cause its short, i see

[magic sluice]

id doubt it, but maybe it does work that way idk

i did just read that if you close your game before failing and restart it will keep your row progress, making it even easier

[worn gull]

If you believe the text is 100% accurate, you only need to look at carpool

[shell radish]

that also seems a lil cheaty

[magic sluice]

yea but if the devs wouldnt want you to do that, they could just make it so that closing the game breaks the row

[shell radish]

that seems more like its an oversight

[magic sluice]

its most likely because a lot of people dont have the time to complete 5 missions in a row, so they make it easier that way

[shell radish]

then whats the point if its not challenging?

anyway are there anymore graphics setting on the ps4 version? because when im playing with others the game just chugs sometimes

[magic sluice]

the point isnt for it to be impossibly hard, if you want it to be challenging then try getting the achievement by doing 5 haz 5 elimination missions solo without bosco or something like that

[shell radish]

oh without bosco would be insanity!

[magic sluice]

the gave gives you the option of making it hard if you want to, but it also allows it to be easier for those who just want the achievement

[magic sluice]

find one that haz low O2 or shield disruption if you really want to make it spicy

[shell radish]

that would pretty cool

[magic sluice]

haz 5, 3 dreadnought elimination, shield disruption/O2, solo, without bosco, weapons without any upgrades of OCs equipped, drunkenness at 90+%

now do that for 5 missions in a row without failing a single one

now thats a challenge

[shell radish]

just completed level four on hollow bough with exploder infestation

ive never been more panicked and stuck lol

[wise kiln]

I'd recommend 200 morkite missions, as well, but there's other options. I did it doing point extraction, have Bosco fetch the aquarqs, ez pz. You could also try 4 egg missions - I ran down the last 20 solo missions I needed for the trophy that way, with Driller, same method having Bosco fetch most of the eggs once you've found them, and you could realistically do each mission in ~5 minutes.

Whichever way you choose to approach it, your awareness of the map's layout and geometry is an important skill to develop going into a higher difficulty on this game - knowing your exits and escape measures can be the difference between life and death in DRG 👍

[lime tundra]

there seems to always be a 1-1 egg mission on the map no matter what (likely intentional), so I used that to spam my last 20 or so self hosted missions needed

solo I abused the exploit that let you count joined missions as solo missions, but apparently that got patched out in s2 so those have to be done legit now. the 1-1 egg missions are probably the way to go with those too

[gleaming smelt]

[mossy hatch]

Deep Rock Galactic released on PlayStation consoles on January 4th, 2022

[pastel parcel]

You can literally google "when did deep rock galactic come out for ps4"

[mossy hatch]

I just did, haha

That's where January 4th, 2022 comes from

But only to get the specific date, since it's been a few months since release and I couldn't recall the exact date

I'd be happy to hear about how anyone was playing Deep Rock on any PlayStation console prior to January of this year though

[pastel parcel]

That is when the game went free on PS+

[mossy hatch]

Yes, and also the day it came out 😉

It went free on PS+ at launch

Here, if this helps:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_GV33zBf3A

I'm fairly certain the dev team, who uploaded that trailer and wrote the description, know a thing or two about when the game came out on PlayStation...

[pastel parcel]

Ok, playstation store says I'm wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'll blame google, maybe I should sue

[ember lintel]

It launched into PS+, yes. Google can get confusing because the gap in launch windows get mixed up.

[novel storm]

Any hints on when the latest patch is dropping?

[raw garden]

patches on PS usually drop on a tuesday or thursday afaik

[terse sinew]

Do you know if we will be able to rename our games on playstation ? Players on Pc have this possibility and for me its a good thing in order to find other players with the same objectives (success trophies etc)

[wise kiln]

No clue, but that'd be a great addition, I agree.

[winter sun]

is the game still active on ps

[remote spoke]

yeah

[novel storm]

Thanks 👍

[glass trail]

Any specific place to find events to use matrix cores

[peak pike]

Randomly found throughout missions. Longer missions have a higher spawn rate.

[umbral plume]

Do you guys think that it will be possible to transfer game progress to different platforms?

[light notch]

Currently it's only possible between ps4 and ps5 (I think), and xbox/msstore and steam

[iron aurora]

Reject Playstation

Return to xbox

[magic sluice]

playstation existed first tho

[wise kiln]

I probably would've gotten an XSX by now if Game Pass wasn't on PC lol. <dwarf voice> saves me a lot of credits in the end

Both consoles desperately need something like Discord... with so many games being cross-play these days, sometimes the in-game VOIP isn't enough 😮‍💨

[vast portal]

I only got PlayStation cause my brother offered to share accounts so I'd have free ps+

Otherwise xbox sounds like a better deal

[crystal wraith]

Playstation made a deal last year with discord, pretty sure they are working on smth together

[magic sluice]

yea you can connect your playstation account to discord and make it show the games you play on your discord profile

[novel storm]

Took them long enough lmao

[crystal wraith]

There is 100% gonna be an integration of discord into the menue somewhere

[magic sluice]

for voicechats maybe, but text chats wouldnt really work well unless you plug in a keyboard and mouse

[crystal wraith]

We ll see for sure but I don't think its impossible u end up typing something on ur pc or phone for it to hit the console too and being able to hang out in vc on ur laptop while ur homies are on console

[magic sluice]

i mean it already works from pc to phone, so yea that could probably work

[halcyon saddle]

Well you can actually open discord via browser on ps4 and 5, but on my ps4 was laggy af (internet browser had always been like that for some reason) and at least in my case wouldn't connect to the voice chat

but i really hope there's a way or will be one to use discord vc on consoles such as ps4 and also Xbox players

[thin crypt]

The PS app is honestly legit af

If we could get that level of integration with discord on the console I’d be a happy camper

[magic sluice]

the PS app is slow and laggy af, barely works

opening a chat and trying to type is so buggy

[thin crypt]

Just open and type 🤔 I’ve never had one issue

[magic sluice]

it always has issues for me

from not sending images properly to taking 30 seconds to open what i tapped on

when i send a message it sometimes just doesnt show up in the app, but it does show up on my console

[wise kiln]

What phone you got? I've got a Pixel 2 from 2018, and while the PS app functions, it can do it pretty cumbersomely at times. In a much better state these days since the old messages app, but idk, my experience is that it could be better, on Discord's level, for instance lol.

[crystal wraith]

Prolly why they wanted to have discord in the first place

Cause their app(s) were a mess

[wise kiln]

Tfw low gravity + sticky flames 👌

[crystal wraith]

just witnessed rich atmosphere + dash + sweet tooth, not even sure if it all stacks but can I please play the game like this all the time

[versed ether]

is there a setting in game that lets me change the xbox controller prompts to ps4 controller?

[covert valve]

It took sooo long but I finally got the trophy

[elder swallow]

was it done with or without mugs

[remote spoke]

without

[open vault]

I feel the pain, I got within 15 points away...
The machine, I swear it was teasing me...

It happened more than 5 times ;-;

[remote spoke]

yeah it took me over like 15 tries bc i had to keep resetting

[crystal wraith]

If you are that close its honestly worth it to chuck some mugs in

Personally at like ~50 I'd go mug chugging

[oblique cloud]

I did that trophie when I didn't know mugs gave points

[remote spoke]

Half way there!

[true herald]

Hey on the ps4 pro I can choose between fidelity and performance in the graphics tab, I don't see my fps changing nor the resolution. What exactly does it even do?

[foggy shadow]

It enhances frame rate
Its most noticeable on haz 4 and above as when a lot of bugs spawn the frames will just drop. Performance mode though doesn't suffer as much

[livid shell]

the dip for 120 fps mode is crazy when it happens

[covert valve]

And im playing on ps4 with 20fps

[acoustic furnace]

Hey does anyone know why I may not have got the content for this game when I bought and downloaded the ultimate edition

[magic sluice]

have you tried restarting your console?

[magic sluice]

dorretta just absolutly lost her mind

she was at the heartstone but didnt stop, she turned 180 and drove back driller a tunnel back into the last room we were in, then did another 180 and went back to the heartstone through the first tunnel

[wise kiln]

I've had that happen before, but never at the heartstone. That's funny.

[grim kernel]

I am struggling to join with my friends on DRG, I’ve had the game for a week or two and tried to play on multiple occasions and I keep catching that “failed to join, connection lost” any tips to resolve the issue?

[wise kiln]

Hmm. I could only really offer the most basic advice of just: checking your network connections (hardwired > wireless), maybe checking to see if there's an issue playing any other online multiplayer games, and if not, then (MAKE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR SAVE FILE BEFOREHAND) uninstalling and reinstalling DRG to see if that's fixed the issue.

[livid shell]

anyone know how to get oc events faster?

[wise kiln]

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think they have a higher chance of spawning based on the cave's size and complexity, so, the footsteps and lightning bolt caution signs when you select a mission. 1 being the lowest, 3 being the highest. Also, higher hazard levels might affect this, as well?

[magic sluice]

their spawnrate is only mades on mission lenght, the same as with lost equipment and cargo crates

but while crates and equipment have a 1/10, 1/6, 1/3 chance, machine events have 15%, 20%, 35% chances

so they spawn slightly more often

[livid shell]

thanks yall

[open vault]

Then we both are true Barrel Kickers

[solar flower]

Ahhh this is the 4th clean OC I've gotten in a row.

Sure they're nice and helpful.

But even balanced OCs bring some sort of fun for the mining.

Does anyone know if I can use the same account on ps4 and PC

[lapis ruin]

there's no cross-play or save transfer between PS4/PC if that's what you mean

[slim orchid]

Someone down to play rn? Im level 9 but i got no one to play this n i wanna play it w 4 ppl

[lapis ruin]

#lfg-playstation will likely be your best bet

[slow wing]

I just bought the game and was wondering if anyone could show me the ropes of the game

[idle robin]

If you go in to the pause menu there's something called the Miner's Manual which has a ton of useful information on how to play.

[rose ermine]

Hi

I lost my progress

And I really love this game

[pastel parcel]

Feel free to add me microwave-fetus

[pastel parcel]

I play this game quite frequently.

Lfg. I'm just xp farmin right now, but it would be cool if I could get a team for DDE

[light notch]

#lfg-playstation

[pastel parcel]

Ah, that's why I can never find a team on here lmao. Thanks

[covert valve]

My team escorted the vehicle all the way to its destination only for my teammate to run 200m backwards to the start of the map in order to look for holomite. Please don't be like my teammate. Holomite isn't worth it.

[magic sluice]

if it was only 1 teammate is very much reasonable to do that, you other 3 should easily be able to handle the heartstone on your own if you dont want to wait for them to come back

and saying the secondary objective isnt worth it is leaf lover talk

[covert valve]

I'm not even gonna bother arguing illogically by replying to that. Cheers

[remote spoke]

facts

[covert valve]

This guy "sourdough_gnb" trolls the picking up of a teammate. I don't understand somebody that won't pickup a teammate.

[covert valve]

In this case there was 3 of us. 2 of us at the vehicle, and the 1 person running back to base all by themself. In this case we couldn't start the vehicle. We were split. Don't tell me I could do anything other than hope the other player participates. That's rubbish.

[crystal wraith]

Depends on the difficulty but 2 man can easily defend the objective up to haz 3

Esp if its not even 4 player scaling

[grave oriole]

wtf, I was doing a random Haz 3 Elimination for a mission assignment and our Gunner got downed on the way to drop pod so I flew out to go revive him, got downed and used my Iron Will to revive him, and I got downed on the way back so the Gunner tried to revive me and I saw our Engie nuke him from the drop pod so he could leave

[remote spoke]

damn

[crystal wraith]

Leave no dwarf behind... /alive/

[remote spoke]

noooo i was 3 missions away from getting the rock soild trophy and then i lost connection they need to fix that

[sinful ore]

Looking for some dwarfs

[granite ravine]

Is EDD much harder than say a few haz 4 missions? I'm guessing you need a full squad to have the gest chance

[magic sluice]

EDD hazard levels are
4.5 - 5 - 5.5
plus modifiers and the fact you have to conserve your nitra for the later stages

id say quite a bit harder than just 3 haz 4 missions

[granite ravine]

👀 this will take a few go's then

[magic sluice]

depends on the team or how good you are, if you go solo with bosco you get the bonus of having to worry less about ammo

[crystal wraith]

Personally Id say the fact that Nitrat carries over is a benefit rather than a negative since the caves are always designed in a way that you get enough nitra regardless

[magic sluice]

yea i just mean you can use up all you nitra on the first stage because you dont know if you'll need it later

[crystal wraith]

But EDD definitely feels harder than just playing on haz 5 since 1 loss means you lose "entirely" rather than just that specific mission and the bonus objectives are obligatory and harder than collect 15 things

[remote spoke]

What is that?

[magic sluice]

thats an error cube, dig it out and put it into molly

[crystal wraith]

I got 14 hopefully they do something cool with it

Feel like it's difficult to do something that is useful for veterans who already have 80 and for newbies so they are not left behind

Like special cosmetic could be fun

Some friends said maybe you can trade them for matrix cores but I feel like that would disappoint veterans

[neon gorge]

EDD usually feels easier then haz 5 missions to me since the nitra carrie’s over

[wise kiln]

Yeah, I feel the same about EDD vs Haz 5. The only compelling aspect of Haz 5 is more XP, and if you're not going for the secondary objective, then you're losing out on a chunk of that, and things like gunk seeds and fossils complicates the pacing of the mission for me more often than not; chews up more time than, say, black box, eggs, etc.

[hasty snow]

BRO

DO MF DREADNAUGHTS WITH PICKAXE ONLY

Cant be jn solo

[oblique cloud]

I actually hate randoms

I still don't know why I host public games

[remote spoke]

To be honest it just better doing it solo

[vestal pine]

In other games I generally had good synergy with randoms, but in DRG I never could work with randos.

[lyric tapir]

anyone know how to transfer saves from a ps5 to a ps4? i started out on a ps5 but i have a ps4 at my partner’s place and would like to continue off as well there

[mossy hatch]

The PS5 version cannot transfer saves to the PS4 version, due to limitations from Sony

[remote spoke]

Yeah sometimes I get good randoms sometimes I get bad ones you know it all depends one time I got like a level one Player who have literally just started and didn't really know how to play the game at all

[lyric tapir]

Dang, that’s a frustrating bummer.

hope they figure it out

[remote spoke]

Yeah bc I'm getting a ps5 soon

[mossy hatch]

The devs would have to do a ton of work to work around the issue. There are no accounts or servers for DRG, so the devs have no way to sync your saves. They rely on the various platforms' cloud systems for storing and making available cloud saves

[remote spoke]

So hopefully they do

[mossy hatch]

You can move your save from the PS4 version to the PS5, but not the other way around

[lyric tapir]

I see. So bogus how Sony handles these cross progression issues

[vestal pine]

I can't even get a PS5 without robbing a scalper.

[remote spoke]

Oh good bc that would suck if you couldn't transfer your save to the new gen

[mossy hatch]

You can also play the PS4 version on a PS5 console, and then your save would be compatible between generations (if you were moving between consoles) because it's still a PS4 save. And as far as I'm aware, PS Plus is required to access cloud save/sync features

[oblique cloud]

funny enough its the low levels im fine with the high rankers are all pricks by my experience

[remote spoke]

there are cons and pros with both of the them

[vestal pine]

It depends on what people do and how they perform; if they're helping toward the main objective, great. If they keep dying and doing their own thing, they're a burden and will get yelled at.

[remote spoke]

And it mostly come from new players who keep dying and doing their own thing but not all of them I had some good ones

[lime tundra]

there's pretty much zero chance the devs will put in ps5 to ps4 save transfer

if you want your save to be able to move to both, stay on the ps4 ver when playing on ps5

then you can transfer your save to ps4 on ps4 and back, it's what I do

[raw garden]

could the maximum aim sensitivity be increased on consoles? I feel that even maxed out it's not fast enough

anyone else notice this?

25% more would be perfect i think.

[raw garden]

this is the 5th time the bulk detonator becomes invisible once he explodes. this is a serious bug going on

ruined our EDD

he just kills us once he becomes invisible

[magic sluice]

but isnt he dead after he explodes?

[raw garden]

no.

[magic sluice]

that seems like the more serious issue then

[raw garden]

that's what i said

he beomces invisible and then he's still crawling around and making noise

since we can't se him he just bashes us to death

it's extremely annoying

[magic sluice]

it just means you're now playing with haunted cave lmao

[raw garden]

at least you can still see the ghost

an invisible bulk det is just lame

this has ruined multiple EDD runs the past 2 weeks sadly

[raw garden]

to clarify, i mean invisible not invincible. well technically he seems to be invincible as well. once he's supposed to explode we can't see him anymore and we can't hit him anymore either

so technically the bulk det becomes both at the same time 😂

we do hear him though

[magic sluice]

i never had that happen to me, but it seems weird

[raw garden]

do you play on ps5 as well?

it has happened about 5 times for us the past 2 weeks

[magic sluice]

oh its ps5, yea no im on ps4

[raw garden]

we all saw it. or NOT saw it

lol

yeah it's uh, unfortunate 😂

[magic sluice]

did you do a bug report on it already?

[raw garden]

nah. we're not sure how to even trigger it but i might look into a bug report later today

[magic sluice]

yea you should probably still file one

[wise kiln]

Some people really do be lookin' to get kicked lately, like, if you join a game, and you try to tug of war Molly with a host that's queued her for a good minute, idk what your hopes and dreams were when you woke up in the morning 👍

[lime tundra]

ah yeah I had the invisible bulk happen on one of my EDD runs this week

first and only time seeing it so far, we got trapped in a corner with all IWs used up, we killed it but I was expecting it to be a wipe once he popped since we were too close and the driller was too green to realize to dig into the wall to get away, but then poof it went invisible right before the death explosion happened and I went ????

then a couple seconds later we died. I figured it was to the invisible bombs or something, but if he keeps moving around afterwards then maybe it was an invisible slam. now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure the ground didn't get carved when he died, so maybe it was him just going purely invisible instead of normal death stuff

I'm playing ps4 on ps5 ver but no idea what the host was using

[willow cloud]

Anyone else having issues connecting to games? It keeps timing out no matter what session I join

Edit: restarted my PS5 and that seemed to fix it

[oblique cloud]

im assuming the miner community isnt a thing on console?

also for those who don't know, there is indeed mouse and keyboard support on playstation

[mossy hatch]

Yes, Unions are only available to the Steam version. It's barely a feature though; the Unions add no gameplay whatsoever. The only thing the Unions feature does at the moment is give out a few bonus minerals and credits about once a month. Essentially, the feature was a barebones prototype that never got developed further, so the versions other than Steam are not really missing anything by not having them

[wise kiln]

Hyper Propellant one-shotting stuff like the menace never gets old ❤️

I've also taken a big liking to Tuned Cooler on the Driller's Cryo Cannon; just so satisfying to combo it with Colette and delete grunts.

Oops, wrong video, meant this one above ^ but also snapped a video of freezing the Unknown Horror, cause I didn't realize you could do that 👍

I believe slowing effects are the only things that can work on the Unknown Horror

Patch?

[remote spoke]

is there suppose to be a patch?

[novel storm]

I mean we are 17 days behind Steam so just asking

[wise kiln]

I was wondering why Plastcrete Catalyst for the Shard Diffractor was still 🔥 but it makes sense they haven't pushed the patch to consoles yet.

Anyway, this is the case for a lot of games that are mainly PC-based, chances are they'll get their game updates first, unless it's console specific. It's also no secret that console patches can take a bit more time, cost more money, and that Sony can be difficult with these things depending on who you, the developers, are to them.

[novel storm]

They released 3 patches in a short span of time, which makes sense for them to wait so they don't have to pay money for all 3, just hoping we get some info soon

[wise kiln]

Yeah, it's weird that #patch-notes-steam is the only channel updated lol.

[novel storm]

PS5 users, does this game make the console loud? 🤔

[wise kiln]

Oddly, it does. It's one of the few games that I can hear the fan humming. I haven't a clue how the architecture works, exactly, but my guess is that it's accessing enough of an area of the system's resources, e.g. maybe the CPU, that the PS5 has to increase its fan speed to keep up. Could easily be an optimization issue, as well 🤷‍♂️

[novel storm]

I see, good to know

hello everyone ! i'm on ps4 and my game give me a blackscreen avery time after the loading screen (the lil' guy walking) 3 days that i can't work for DRG they gonna fire meee ;_;

seem to be the save that cause my black screen, strange...
i wipe every save, now the game launch properly but im on the tutorial...
i guess i have to use the "restore save data" in the menu ?

BUG!

[hidden gulch]

Hello im a new player. Im doing a mission where I am supposed to connect 3 pipelines to some blue glowy spot and some of them are so hard to get to! I mean, building the line to the spot. The terrain is to high or uneven so I cant build the pipelines where its supposed to be. Am I doing something wrong or am I just unlucky with the level design? Do I need to dig a path or something maybe?

[tight beacon]

it can be difficult. most of the time you need to find a way around and/or mine a path that works with your pickaxe

[hidden gulch]

Ok :S

Why do they make missions like this? 😛

[tight beacon]

once you have done it a few times, it becomes easy to spot and do 🙂

if it was always a straight easy line, it would be boring

[hidden gulch]

True

[tight beacon]

normally its 2 fairly easy ones, and 1 hard

[hidden gulch]

Its just very frustrating when you dont know how to build :S

[tight beacon]

ya, it took me some time too

[hidden gulch]

Think im starting to get the hang of it though

you need to dig at the uneven spot

[hidden gulch]

I cant post any pictures but I found something that is a device and I can put small devices next to it and there is this green beam between the small devices... anyone know what im talking about? 😄

I wonder what it is

[magic sluice]

if you aim your marker tool at it, it should tell you its name

hold down L1 for the marker tool

[hidden gulch]

I believe its a "hacking pod"

[magic sluice]

ahh, did you interact with something else before you found the hacking pod?

[hidden gulch]

Yes. Hacking pod

yes, i interacted with something I remember

but it was at the beginning of the mission. now im like 40 minutes in

[magic sluice]

was it a tower looking thing that made thud sounds?

[hidden gulch]

Yes I believe so

[magic sluice]

ok, open up your map and look around, it should show up on it as a yellow/orange tower like object

[hidden gulch]

Yes there is this big orange object there

[magic sluice]

ok so, you can take orange balls out from the hacking pod, those are hacking nodes

when you hold one there should be a green circle around the hacking pod, place down the node close to the edge of that circle

there should then be a new circle around the node and a energy line from the hacking pod to the node

you just need to form a line of those nodes to the tower

i hope that makes sense

[hidden gulch]

I think it does

What will happen when I do?

[magic sluice]

once you have connected the hacking pod and the tower you go back to the hacking pod and activate it

you then have to defend it from bugs while it hacks the tower

when the hacking is done the tower opens and you can collect a "data cell" from it, put that into molly

at the end of the mission it will give you bonus XP for the season pass and season script

[hidden gulch]

Cool

Thanks alot for explaining! Really appreciate it!

[magic sluice]

no problem!

[wise kiln]

Had no idea there was a fail condition to the salvage mule hacking portion. Some Gunner started the hacking while I was off getting the lost pack, and I guess they just didn't stand in the hack zone, mission failure screen a few seconds after 🤔

Also, I give you all... the Nick Young Dwarf.

[candid bridge]

I understand this message was old. My intentions was also skewed. How can I mess with Playstation users when I am one myself. Been die hard PS fan since PS1. PS3 is the only one I never owned due to financial reasons. I have played this game since Jan 2022 when it came out on PS Plus. I never played it on PC at all. I know and have looked up the History of DRG. I am Rank 390 on Playstation. I try to avoid all the temptations of XP glitching/exploiting time. I actually want to see the DRG community grow. That is why I try to join Randoms and they can see what to expect if they keep playing :D.

Sooner or later I know some of the Randoms I run into end up in here. 🙂

Rock and STONE!

Where is the assignment board located?

cant seem to find it :S

lol nevermind

the second i hit enter i saw it 😄

It seems that the aimspeed is slowing down when you are aiming near things, like terminals and stuff. Any idea how to get rid of it?

[crystal wraith]

Sounds like aim assist is turned on?

[hidden gulch]

I will check it out

Cant find any aim assist option? :S

It appears to slow down when looking at certain objects, like the mule or a pipeline

It seems to be on all objects, even enemies... no way to turn this off?

[feral wave]

I believe there's an option to disable that in one of the options menus if I remember right.

[crystal wraith]

Ill go check once I am home wether there is an option that might enable this

[hidden gulch]

I can't seem to find anything :S

[crystal wraith]

so from checking the menu I think the hook to interactables is a built in feature rather than an option to toggle

but from what I can also tell this also only appears on low sensitivity

when I zoom past the interactables it doesnt slow down

[hidden gulch]

So I need high sensitivity to work around it?

[candid bridge]

It never bothered me before. I guess that is why I never had an issue.

Never hurts to adjust settings and try on a solo mission to see if you like it

[solar flower]

Oh the update buffed Zhukov's Gas recycling OC. Hmmm.

Maybe I'll be able to run something other than bombletts

[crystal wraith]

what exactly is the issue you want to work around if I may ask? not like you need snappy aim on deck right?

[hidden gulch]

No, but its just irritating that the aimspeed slows down when aiming at certain things, like the mule or enemies for that matter. I just want it to be the same all the time without the slowdown 🙂

[hidden gulch]

I think it is the enemies as well

Or when fighting near the mule or a wire from the thing you build when you need to extract some things on a mission

I dont remember the name for it... extractor.

But a workaround I found is to increase the sensitivity to 50, the slowdowns are not so noticeable then... but it would be great if it could be removed alltogheter

[hidden gulch]

Does the game become harder? Like more enemies to fight?

[solar flower]

You can go on higher Hazzard missions . Hazzard 1 being the easiest with few enemies and Hazzard 5 being more and tougher enemies.

But if you're asking about different types of enemies then no there's only the enemies in the miner manual

[hidden gulch]

ok

[split ruin]

Anyone wanna mine?

[gentle nymph]

My ps5 crashed 3 times today playing this. Once playing Siege. Maybe it's an Unreal Engine thing? Or 120hz?

[grave oriole]

Wow my DRG updated and I looked at the update history and was expecting the usual "check patch notes online" from most games but nope, the entire patch notes are right here

[raw garden]

i've been playing 120hz since it released and don't have issues with crashing

[frail smelt]

Yeah, it's only affecting some people. A couple of my buds have no problems with it, and others do. It's scuffed.

[raw garden]

curious

[shell radish]

anyone wanna team up for a couple rounds for the new items?

[pastel parcel]

Deep dive anyone?

[tranquil thistle]

Hello I'm trying to lvl up my low level gunner. Anyone wanna play? Haz 3 is good for me

@valid crane do you play on ps4

Oh ok

See ya

[tranquil thistle]

Anyone wanna play? I'm a low level gunner who just needs to level up more

@safe ginkgo

Do you play on ps4

[gentle cobalt]

Is there some sort of union you can join in DRG?

[quaint zinc]

Unions are for Steam only. It’s a relatively useless feature because it gives nothing but extra resources and was never worked upon.

[dry pendant]

Wish that we could mod

[light notch]

@tranquil thistle if you wanna invite or ask to join, then #lfg-playstation is your place

[bold galleon]

Weird occurrence. Had the beach party update yesterday. Launched game today and beach party is gone. Even the new splash screen went back to normal. Guess GSG hates me.

😔

Assignment gone too.

When I get on later tonight, will see if uninstalling and reinstalling works.

[tight beacon]

maybe your not connecting to our backend, check your connection

[elder swallow]

[somber hollow]

Boutta do the thing

[frigid adder]
