Console Downpour Issues/Bugs (SWITCH AUDIO BUGS)

[lapis pewter]

Very unhappy rn.

Had lots of kills.

[lapis pewter]

How often does a crash in ||Metropolis|| (artificer area spoilers) actually result in save data being wiped?

I want to map out some areas as artificer, but i'm worried that my main save gets deleted.

I'm on switch, i see that people have been reporting those glitches for PS.

[fast marlin]

im not sure unfortunately, it seems pretty random

im not sure if it can happen on switch it may be possible, but i think on switch you can upload your save data so if it corrupts youll b save

playing rain world after a while gonna see if it runs okay

[silent lantern]

Is there anyone who got their save data corrupted on ps4 after the second patch?

[radiant coral]

someone just had it happen to them with inv

[lavish juniper]

Can you be involved in consoles?

Inv*

[rose burrow]

I've been trying to figure that out

[honest ether]

They didn't cut it, no.

You can look up stuff on your own, however.

[dire rain]

Personal perspective: Biggest issues I've had currently on switch are Safari Crashes and Audio glitches. I've had no data wipes since I downloaded remix and that wasn't even really a wipe. I really am most actually frustrated about the audio glitches because it ruins the vibe and whatnot, but really it's kind of minor. I seem to be lucky but just a note so that more information can be collected

[dire rain]

Yes.

Look it up in the pons of the inv spoilers channel

[honest ether]

Don't worry. Those issues in particular are already fixed, you just need to wait about a week

[dire rain]

True

[honest ether]

Maybe Monday or Tuesday next week.

I'd predict

[fast marlin]

hi

[dire rain]

I'm just waiting for patches to catch up, ngl I'm looking at Nintendo like they're sus

[fast marlin]

i played fir a while on ps4 arti

there was a king vulture in some water and my framerate just . died i thought it was gonna crash it is not handling any vultures well

[honest ether]

To be fair, it should've been Videocult and Akupara Games' call to delay the release, rather than release broken and rely on platforms rolling out patches in a timely manner.

[dire rain]

Ehhhhhhhhhh I don't think they knew about all these glitches

[honest ether]

They definitely would have.

[dire rain]

With all due respect they are an indie studio and it is faster to find glitches when the internet has access than to have play testers working forty hours a week

[honest ether]

Maybe not everything, but most things important.

[dire rain]

I'm not upset with them

And I won't be

[honest ether]

It won't really matter in the end, but hopefully they decided releasing stuff in this state shouldn't happen again.

[oak fractal]

Absolutely not the case here

And it's twice fold; videocult is not the ones handling the port, akupara is

[honest ether]

The credits have like 8 porting programmers listed iirc

[fresh cypress]

i think they wouldve noticed the audio issues lol

wonder how that got by

[thin barn]

Lol game crashed in OU after I waited like awhile for a lizard to let go of me but just kept doing the same back and forth walk cycle

[thin barn]

Ok yeah I have map bugs where areas I’ve been too before on the map just don’t show up

[honest ether]

They might just be across map segments.

There are weird cut-off points where the map will split into two separate areas you can only view individually

Even in the same region

You just walk across a room and the map switches as if you went through a gate.

[thin barn]

Nah I mean like
My survivor playthrough I’ve been through half of subterranean and to the depths
And I just finished Gourmand where I barely stayed there
When I got to Subterranean again as survivor through passage it only showed the one den I slept in as Gourmand

Nothing else

Well like no other dens nor areas I explored

[terse karma]

The map erasing is intentional because of room changes and new rooms

[thin barn]

Ohhhh ok ok

Well I beat Monk cuz of it lol

[lapis pewter]

Big artificer completed campaign spoilers:
I think i found a glitch, ||i picked up the scavenger chieftain's mask, and as you would have expected, all the scavengers were scared of me. But then after leaving it in a shelter and playing for another hour, it seems scavengers are still scared of me? They never try to attack me anymore, and often flee to a nearby pipe. Is it normal this effect lasts forever?||

[tiny imp]

I hope

[oak fractal]

Are lizards affected too?

[lapis pewter]

No.

[oak fractal]

Weird

[lapis pewter]

Does it work fine for you guys?
(i'm on switch)

Might also be an individual problem.

[oak fractal]

If you drop the ||chieftain mask, scavs should try to start attacking you||

[lapis pewter]

Unless i've been insanely lucky, they still don't try to attack me.

The wiki said the effect should have lasted just 1 minute after dropping it.

[oak fractal]

What if you rest without it?

Oh really? Hmm, it happened a bit sooner for me but maybe I'm misremembering

[rare sedge]

I think that’s a glitch on pc as well

[lapis pewter]

I just dropped it long ago in a shelter of another region.

[rare sedge]

I remember the wiki saying something about scavs being scared even without mask

[lapis pewter]

So, restarting the campaign should fix it?

[rare sedge]

Definitely

[lapis pewter]

I'll report it if it happens again.

[lapis pewter]

So, the only way to fix it is by restarting?
(i'm okay with restarting)

[rare sedge]

Probably

[sand dock]

i feel latency on xbox

I don't know the number of fps or the resolution chosen but the game is clearly less responsive and fluid than on my pc on series s.

and I think there's a bug on the roll pounce, it's not always done.

otherwise the sound effects and sounds seem corrected.

[honest ether]

I haven't seen reliable numbers on the performance targets for each platform.

[wintry rampart]

I'm literally stuck in garbage waste in my second survivor run

Literally at the start of the gate too, I crash whatever pipe I go through the moment I exit out of the shelter

This on switch btw, ughh

[radiant coral]

are u trying to leave without using the gate? also do u have jolly co op on?

[wintry rampart]

No I don't have jolly co op on, but there's a shelter right after the gate of garbage wastes is opened. I went into it, rested, and then tried to exit into the garbage wastes area and it keeps crashing no matter what I do to leave. I'm basically soft locked.

[radiant coral]

usually when others have this problem they had jolly co op on and when they disable it they can go through; weird

[wintry rampart]

I'm just going to reset my run, I only have 41 mins in it but it sucks that I even have to do this in the first place

[fast marlin]

my game can not handle more than one vulture at once and suddenly lags when theres like 3 scavengers on screen at ||waterfront facility||

this is pretty much unplayable it happened when there was just one king vulture too

[honest ether]

Yeah that region was laggy for me aswell.

[fast marlin]

is there any way to fix this bc it happens a lot its hard to play

[honest ether]

Not really, no.

Game just has a lot of lag on Switch

Maybe try reloading the game, but otherwise you just have to deal with it and get past that area.

[fast marlin]

im playing on ps4

and on my first file it wasnt like this i dont think

[radiant coral]

i was in that room on the ps4 version and it was fine for me but on switch its a lag fest

[fast marlin]

idk why its a lag fest on ps4 for me now aaaughj

[honest ether]

I've heard PS5 can have lag aswell. The game just generally has inconsistent performance, which is the problem, really.

Not even just a system spec issue.
The Switch can have good stable moments, most of the base game was stable and perfectly playable, it's just when random outliers appear it can halt or hinder your experience.

Doesn't really make a difference what platform it's running on if suddenly the frametime spikes to 1000% for whatever probably mundane issue.

[radiant coral]

it runs just fine with one king vulture for me

[sand gorge]

I felt the same in Chimney canopy by doubling the spawns as Spearmaster.

[radiant coral]

they are aware of the data corruption bug

[fast marlin]

thats weird , i hope it wont happen again on mine idk why it was running so bad 😭

[radiant coral]

they will probably optimize it some more to prevent it from lagging when they fix the data corruption as well so we just have to wait til then

[honest ether]

I wouldn't count on it.

[radiant coral]

they're still investigating bugs so they aren't done with fixing it

[honest ether]

Game optimisation is generally more in-depth than standard bug fixes. They could very well do some lag fixes but I just wouldn't say you should expect it.

[radiant coral]

at least reduce it, like most areas, i dont expect some rooms in 5p to be lag free

[gilded vessel]

Honestly

I’ve been having issues with clipping through the floor

It’s not frequent

But when it happens it sucks

It usually when I try to pipe juke or a lizard falls on me

Or any other entity

[sacred flicker]

The performance lag issues are honestly unacceptable. This is on a level where I'd consider asking for refund(PS5 version).

[sand dock]

where you lag ?

on PC with a good configuration , downpour area sometimes drop on fps from 120 to 60~66 fps no matter what

[lapis pewter]

Alright, i want to clarify some things here:
Okay, so, you're having lag there, right?
But i also see you're using spearmaster, which has a big lag problem in the front sections of LM (Waterfront Facility).
The reason it's working great for Bendo is because he's playing artificer.
(Spearmaster has tons of salamanders and eels there, while artificer doesn't have that much traffic)

Is the survivor portrait change fixed or not when ||ascending||?
I heard that was a problem before.

[honest ether]

Worked fine for me.

Updated to the correct graphic.

[neon loom]

meanwhile on switch my reaction to the lag is

[radiant coral]

they're also playing artificer, you can see the citizen id drone in the video they sent of their gameplay

[lapis pewter]

It appears you are right, i'm sorry.
It looked like spearmaster jumping out of the water due to the color, but by looking closer, there's a drone (like you said) and a normal tail.

But yeah, i guess it's a bit weird then.
I know about vultures sometimes causing lag, but i've never seen this before (for artificer).

[radiant coral]

i had it lag for me on switch as spearmaster and artificer, but so far on the ps4 version its been fine

[lapis pewter]

I knew about spearmaster's LM (Waterfront Facility) lag, but artificer seems to do fine.

[radiant coral]

i'm currently finishing artificer to see if it will corrupt the data to send in a different post so it can be investigated, once i complete it or it corrupts my data which ever one comes first, i'll speedrun to waterfront facility to that room to see if it lags for me on the ps4 version

[radiant coral]

how often when it crashes in ||metropolis|| does the save data get corrupted it just crashed for me on the ps4 version and its fine

[lapis pewter]

It never crashed in ||metropolis|| for me actually, but i do experience a massive amount of lag in 1 room because of a scavenger and lizard overload (it's a toll room).

[radiant coral]

||metropolis|| is the most common area for data corruption so when it crashed i fully expected my data to be corrupted, also i haven't had any lag here on the ps4 version yet however on the switch i get it tho

[honest ether]

It crashed on Switch a lot in my experience. I never got any form of save wipe or corruption.

[urban nymph]

I believe that the save file corruption happens because the game crashes while autosaving

[honest ether]

^

[urban nymph]

Bcs it happened to me 😦

[honest ether]

I haven't had it crash while dying or hibernating

But I did have it crash during an ending

In that case it just went to the finish state normally.

[radiant coral]

i think i remember someone said they were in a room in ||metropolis|| and it crashed and their data corrupted

[radiant coral]

but it does start to make sense when cuz, someone hibernated as inv then it crash and wipe their data, someone had it keep crashing and wiping the data when they were trying to hibernate as gourmand, and someone died in ||precipice|| as spearmaster and it crashed and wipe their data, so that has to be it

[fast marlin]

i play arti not spearmaster

i havent unlocked spearmaster yet

[radiant coral]

i already mentioned that

[fast marlin]

oh sorry i havent caught up on all of the messages yet

[radiant coral]

when ur data got corrupted were you on the sleep screen/death screen?

[fast marlin]

i dont think i was i think it crashed during gameplay and when i clicked again it had a message abt my data being corrupted

i played for a while today on arti again and it does still sometimes lag with vultures but also sometimes doesnt, i guess its just inconsistent

[honest ether]

Was it like. An ingame notification, or an OS notification

That might be a factor idk

[fast marlin]

both actually, i think there might be images from someone else but it was a pop up and when i closed out of the pop up the game had a similar message

[honest ether]

I imagine the system detecting corrupt data while other platforms keep reading data normally.

[radiant coral]

i looked back at most of the post and when they die or hibernate it crashes a.k.a during an autosave which then corrupts the data

[honest ether]

I've only heard of this crash corruption from Playstation players

[fast marlin]

i found images of what i basically had

one i got from google and the other from @ /mediocre mann i think

second one is the rain world one but i had the other message too

[honest ether]

Ah.

[radiant coral]

i think it started happening after the first safari crash fix, which switch doesnt have yet, for xbox tho i guess no one has reported for that yet

[honest ether]

That's not very assuring. I don't have NSO and can't back up my save. So I'll be screwed if the game decides to clobber my data.

Can't even back it up to an SD card or anything since all save data is stored on System Memory.

[radiant coral]

it auto uploads ur sava data when u exit a game, so idk if theres a way to actually download a previous save or not, and if you cant download a save that means the save on NSO is the same as on the console, so switch is screwed with or without it

[honest ether]

Yeah it doesn't have a save history system, though you can cancel a backup if you do so quickly after the game has been closed or while the game is running.

If you keep the game closed with auto save backup on then it'll just replace the data with corrupt data

The backup system only seems to serve the purpose for if you have multiple consoles, one breaks, or you lose it.

[radiant coral]

i looked to see if it can be turned off and i found nothing

[honest ether]

Pretty sure it can be

If you go into System Settings > Data Management > Save Data Cloud > Settings it should be there.

[radiant coral]

yea just found it

[honest ether]

There's also an option to automatically download save data, for if you use multiple Switch consoles, I guess.

Like if you have one at home and a Lite you bring with you.

[radiant coral]

well for a second i thought my oneshot save got corrupted cuz it said it failed to upload the save data to the sava data cloud

i was about to say that i wish you can turn it off for a specific game instead of all of them but i just found where i can chose wut games to have it off for

so psa for switch users with online membership: turn it off for rain world till save data corruption is gone

[honest ether]

But also remember to manually back it up. Lol

[radiant coral]

i might not be able to continue my main on ps5 cuz i dont have plus yet(didnt think this would be the reason i would get) but at least i can continue my main on switch

[honest ether]

Why do you have it on both platforms? Just curious.

[radiant coral]

got it on switch back in feburary cuz i watch skurry and they started playing DP and thats when i got into the game, few months later i get a ps5 and i get ps cards so i can get control and batdr, i see it goes on sale so i buy it, so i guess its 2 reasons, 1. why not, and 2. i love this game and i would buy it on steam too lol

[honest ether]

That's fair. Also, do you notice much difference between the game on PS5 and Switch, aside from areas of lag?

Like is it sharper, or generally run at a higher framerate.

The game internally is closer to 720p, like 768p I believe, and that'd scale better into 4k, rather than 1080p. I imagine they could be using that to make the game sharper on PS5

[radiant coral]

switch, ps4, and ps5 version look the same resolution to me, idk if thats cuz its a 16-bit game or i've played for so long on the switch i cant tell, like i couldnt tell i was playing the two recent spiderman games at 30 fps until i looked to see if raytracying was on or not

[honest ether]

All the art is the same. The only difference could be scaling used.

[radiant coral]

some rooms work better than others tho like ||waterfront facility|| and ||metropolis|| lags for switch but not ps, dont know about other new regions tho

[honest ether]

What about ||Outer Expanse?||

This is what it was like when I first went there on Switch.

[radiant coral]

i have not done gourmand, saint or rivulet at all yet, i have done some spearmaster on switch, almost finished with artificer on both(not ps5 version), and did a full survivor run on ps5

when i heard about save data corruption it kinda made me stop using my mains, only reason i'm almost done with arti on both is cuz i wanted to see if it would crash then corrupt it on switch and for ps4 to see if it would happen to me as well and so i can send it so they can investigate this to fix it cuz no one on ps4 versions have yet

[lavish juniper]

I have a temporary fix to the jolly co op shelter glitch (where it doesn't close) pause and go back or leave the shelter and come back in

[urban nymph]

btw im the one who died in precipice as spearmaster

[remote cove]

TELL

[stark rock]

I have encountered a peculiar bug

So you know how when you beat Artificer you get the ||scav king mask|| and spawn back in the ||scav king room||?

I died before I hibernated in a proper shelter

Then decided to passage from the Death screen

And now my ||scavenger king mask|| has disappeared

I’m just annoyed cause I really, really don’t want to re-complete Artificer in order to get the ||scavenger king mask|| again

I already beat her campaign one time more than I really should’ve

[fresh cypress]

||that fight is really a pain||

[radiant coral]

fr

[stark rock]

Her campaign in general is a pain

I don’t like her

[radiant coral]

i actually enjoy it apart from the end of it

[stark rock]

I just hate being targeted all the time by scavengers

Cause they’re so much more OP than you most of the time

[rare sedge]

I love artis campaign

[stark rock]

They have the numbers advantage

I like her mobility and mauling ability

[rare sedge]

It’s so satisfying to not have to beg and hope for the scavs to spare you

[stark rock]

I just hate being Killed On Sight by scavs

[rare sedge]

You can just MURDER them all without any remorse

Scavs are pretty easy to fight with artis abilities

[stark rock]

One scav? Yes

7 scavs? No

[rare sedge]

Multiple yes

Just don’t go running in blindly, make a plan

[stark rock]

Multiple is a solid No around 80% of the time

[radiant coral]

yea with other scugs i'm thinking "are they going to kill me or let me go", but with arti no thought but death

[stark rock]

In metropolis where there’s food literally everywhere and you can make as many bombs as you’d like it’s Really Easy to fight scavs normally

In a place like, say, Garbage Wastes

There’s not much easy food sources

(And she also just gets Shitty Acid Garbage Wastes, and Spawns in Shitty Acid Garbage Wastes)

You’re basically forced onto one, linear path

Into Shaded

Which is a solid D tier area at best

[fresh cypress]

yeah shaded sucks

[rare sedge]

Shaded is my favourite region in the entire game

:3

[fresh cypress]

i like the vibes but urrhhg i need my eyes

[stark rock]

You basically can’t go left from her starting room because you’ll either

A) Get gunned down in Broad Daylight

Or B) Get munched by a Red Lizard immediately because you’re in Shitty Acid Garbage Wastes

[rare sedge]

That’s the point to make you go right

[stark rock]

But I don’t like being forced to go one and only one way

[rare sedge]

You don’t have to just go beat up scavs

[stark rock]

Even in Survivor, where the intended path takes you to Industrial, you can still go wherever you want without getting Gunned Down On Sight

[rare sedge]

Just kill the scavs

[stark rock]

As Artificer you have no other real options once you’re in Shaded besides Memory Crypts

You’re allergic to water so Waterfront is out of the question

Industrial doesn’t really do much for you

And is very out of the way from the Garbage/Shaded gate

[rare sedge]

Waterfront doesn’t have as much water as shoreline

[fresh cypress]

waterfront aint that bad

[stark rock]

It also takes you Nowhere

[rare sedge]

Just go explore

And have fun like the rest of the game

[stark rock]

I want to explore without being shoved into one and only one somewhat viable path

[rare sedge]

You can, I’ve had heaps of fun as arti going into garbage wastes, drainage system and industrial

[stark rock]

Even once you get into the exterior you’re basically forced to climb the wall instead of going through the Underhang/Pebbles gate cause you just can’t get a scav in underhang

Idk

I’m sorry

I would rather not have to do it all over again after getting some echoes and getting a lot of passages

[fast marlin]

YAAA I LOVE SKURRY i should probably be saying this in a diff chat but im excited to watch the downpour videos when i complete the campaigns

[silent lantern]

If you wanna make them not kill you, give something to them. A spear, rock, any item (unless its very important). And even if you dont have anything, they raise their spears up as a warning, backing up would be ideal

[radiant coral]

i know its just when first seeing them or a little after u first give them something

[silent lantern]

I think each slugcat has its own reputation with the scavs. Either way id recommend giving anything at all if you encounter them the first time in the story

[fast marlin]

i remember on gourmand i tried to give a scav a pearl and accidently fell on them from a small height and got speared

[stark rock]

They do

Arti is permanently locked at a rep of -100

Spearmaster starts at -45(?)

[silent lantern]

Thats crazy haha

[stark rock]

Hunter starts at -35

Pretty sure everyone else starts at 0

[rare sedge]

That won’t guarantee that they won’t kill you

[radiant coral]

monk start higher i think

[stark rock]

That would make sense

I don’t play monk ever so idk

[fast marlin]

monk is a friend to all

[silent lantern]

It will guarantee that the scav you gave the item doesnt kill you

[stark rock]

No it doesn’t?

Plus if you’re artificer they’re already in Kill You On Sight Mode anyway

Even if you give them 10000 pearls

[rare sedge]

it doesnt

especially as something like hunter

even if you give them a pearl they may still kill you anyway

[fast marlin]

ive been killed after giving them items i think more than once

depends on your reputation i guess

[radiant coral]

i like arti's campaign, i like not having to worry about if they are going to kill me or not cuz i already know the answer

[rare sedge]

it also depends on the scavs personality

[stark rock]

That too

[silent lantern]

Ok then… But every time i see them as any other character, giving anything at all made them go along their day

[rare sedge]

they have very different personalities

[fast marlin]

arti is fun

i like exploding

[stark rock]

I like making things go boom

[fast marlin]

scav combat is really fun even if i die 89% of the time fighting them

[stark rock]

I don’t like having the entire scav population of Every Fuckign Region be on KOS mode

[silent lantern]

Scav is easy to kill if you dont play it like Doom

[stark rock]

One scav sure

An entire toll of scavs tho not really

[silent lantern]

Yeah but you have a lot of abilities at your disposal. Especially that stun explosion

[fast marlin]

i can kill like 8 at most but they keep coming

[silent lantern]

Its really nice to kill everything honestly (in the game)

[fast marlin]

u can deflect spears if u explode down i think too

arti also has a good story i like it

[stark rock]

Stun doesn’t really do much if they’re sniping at you way on the way
(also my reaction times just suck at deflecting spears I don’t think I’ve used the boom to deflect a single time)

[silent lantern]

Yeah its hard to use…

[radiant coral]

i got a bomb, explosive jump over then any called an air strike and killed them

[silent lantern]

Yeah to take care of tolls you need bombs

[fast marlin]

what i usually do is explode stun them, steal spear andKILL

but it doesnt work as well with multiple scavs

i didnt make it far in ||metropolis|| ill try the bombs i think next time

||waterfront facility|| on ps4 runs okay but the fps still drops a bit occasionally, sometimes for no reason, and when a vulture comes idk why mines been pretty laggy

[radiant coral]

scav: "oh, you have appeared to speared me one time. well, jokes on you artificer. i'm one of the scavs with slightly more health and i just got up and stabbed you in the ass before you can react, because the game said i could live a spear today".

[fast marlin]

i think i read somewhere that their heads are always one hit kills but other body parts might not be or something i always spear them again just incase

[rare sedge]

headshots always kill scavs in 1 hit yes

even as monk

[radiant coral]

also a scav: "oh. i just came out of a pipe and you have human reaction speed, which requires you to see me and process my presence before you can respond to anything i do? die beta!" like i said i enjoy her campaign but having a scav kill u as soon as u go to a pipe or having sniper tf2 kill u off screen is annoying and can be frustrating

[silent lantern]

Hey, does music cutoffs count as a bug? Id be in a chase with the threat music at high and suddenly the game stops the music and plays Kayava

[tiny imp]

Not a bug

You could be chased by a million dangerous creatures but if you trigger Bioengineering it'll play instead of the threat track

After it's done or randomly fades out for some reason (Garbage City Shuffle) then it'll go back to it's threat track

[rare sedge]

Yea pretty sure it’s a bug

The music cuts off abruptly

It didn’t do that before remix/dp

[silent lantern]

I mean music cutting off abruptly should not be a normal thing.

[radiant coral]

if it stopped abruptly and started playing kayava i would think its a blessing not a bug

[silent lantern]

Haha yeah the music is really good, but i mean shouldnt the correct thing to do is play it when the threat music lowers down?

[rare sedge]

Its a bug

The music doesn’t normally cut off abruptly

[sand gorge]

Did you just quote twice in a row Daszombes?

[radiant coral]

[tiny imp]

It did do that before remix

Could be considered a bug

But honestly it's a blessing

Unless it's Urban Jungle then it's a curse

[rare sedge]

The music just instantly cuts out though

It’s very jarring

[lapis pewter]

I find it so annoying that the region slugcat icons to change the map don't appear because of a glitch.
I literally don't know how filled in another slugcat's map is.

[neon loom]

urban jungle is a banger for the third of it that has music

[tiny imp]

Lol

[neon loom]

Ok so while I was in ||depths|| as gourmand the game crashed. Luckily I didn't lose any data but that's a potential problem.

If it helps I wasn't ||at ⨂||, i was going to ||skip the requirement with a singlularity bomb||

[stark rock]

I think going through pipes while holding multiple singularity bombs can crash the game?

How many were you holding?

[terse karma]

Is the pink lizard that usually appears in that one room before drainage gate with a shelter in outskirts supposed to spawn in the same den as the pole plant? The interactive map says it’s not even supposed to spawn in that room (this is on Gourmand)

[radiant coral]

same thing happened to me as survivor but one time i saw two pink lizards come out from the den with the pole plant

[neon loom]

Just one, and it crashed randomly in the middle of a large room (the one with ||guardians|| and platforming

Also a slight visual glitch: ||void spawn|| will disappear if you go into a pipe

[terse karma]

A cycle later they both spawned there 😭 so weird
Also in Drainage on the way to Sub/Filtration the leeches there just voluntarily despawn??? Like I go in there and theres 5 leeches, but then one by one they start going into the den and by the time I get there theres one leech. It grabbed onto me, then jumped off and left LOL i mean thanks for just not feeling like it today so I can live but it was so weird

[radiant coral]

yea i had some leaches in shoreline just not show up, which is weird everything ignores the cycle timer with msc on and you cant really hurt them to retreat to their den

[neon loom]

Gourmand crashed again, this time when entering OE for the first time. I entered the pipe leading out from the gate and it crashed.

This one was different, it seemed like the room started to load, flashed on screen for a couple frames then it went back to the karma gate room and froze for several seconds

I have heard this happen before and I'm afraid to try it again because of data corruption, has anyone else actually experienced this or am I delusional

If it helps i was holding a rock and a ||fire egg||

[radiant coral]

i believe data corruption happens when it crashes when you hibernate or die, so when it auto saves

[neon loom]

Oh ok then

Hopefully i won't be locked out of ||outer expanse||

[chilly bobcat]

when will the safari crashes be fixed

[rare sedge]

Whenever nintendo stops being a snail at pushing out patches

[honest ether]

Maybe like tomorrow

Day after even

[radiant coral]

there were two safari fixes, i believe data corruption started happening after the second safari fix(when expedition quest became doable) so when nintendo decides to push that out i think data corruption will start happening on switch

[neon loom]

Update: I wasn't locked out of ||outer expanse||

[gilded vessel]

Tbh

To fix your console down pour dlc

You just gotta pour down water on your console 😎

Worked for me

[honest ether]

Leave it out in the rain

[gilded vessel]

Yep

[terse karma]

yall I have a question
has anyone else experienced extreme/slight delay in the intro and outro art cutscenes
It was so bad when I tried to start a Monk run it crashed
And it’s always so behind on specifically ||ascension|| cutscenes
The delay is the images always stay longer than the music transitions
For monk, it was on the slugcats catching batflies while the music was on the part where survivor falls
As for the ending cutscene its a lot less but it was noticeable when the last artpiece for Hunter was still appearing long after the music was already fading out, and stayed for a second or two in silence

[radiant coral]

i record all the cutscenes on my ps5, i dont know about hunter post dp yet but the monk and survivor intro and surv's ending cutscene played fine

[terse karma]

Maybe it)s a switch thing then?
Gourmand’s ||ascension|| also lagged for me
Same for Surv
I havent done monk in awhile but I dont imagine it’d be differnt

[radiant coral]

now if i made any sort of progress on the ps5 version cuz i dont have plus to protect my save i dont ever plan on doing any of the ascension endings except for survivor monk and artificer, and obviously hunter, saint and inv

so i wouldnt know about some of the ascension endings

[radiant coral]

also since ur on the switch version and if you have NSO you might want to turn off automatic backup sava data for rw for now

[terse karma]

Yeah I did see that and forgot. I will do that tomorrow! I might put it off until those suspicious patches come along, unless someone experiences it beforehand

[radiant coral]

i think data corruption started happening when the second safari fix and when expedition got fixed came out, the earliest post i found talking about it was on the same day as the update

[stark rock]

Why should we do this?

[near atlas]

music doesn't sync with survivor's starting cutscene anymore

oh you guys have this covered

[feral trail]

Expedition mode isn't giving any rewards and I can't do quests (switch)

[radiant coral]

so if your data corrupts you can back it up with a save thats not corrupted

[radiant coral]

it's fixed on ps, so switch will receive that patch whenever Nintendo pushes it out

[radiant coral]

yea this is a switch thing it will probably get fixed when the audio fix comes

[brisk cargo]

The patch comes out on switch or tomorrow or Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest

[near atlas]

Ooooh

Lovely!

Will it fix everything or is there more

[radiant coral]

the first safari fix, fixed it crashing but all audio died when playing safari and it fixed the music not playing without messing with the slider and the second safari fix, fixed it crashing again, fixed sfx, and expedition became now longer worthless, but i think data coruption accidentally came with that patch

[near atlas]

Uh oh

[radiant coral]

if u have NSO u can turn off automatically back up save data for just it so it doesnt backup the corrupted data and u can download a previous save before it got corrupted but u have to remember to back it up yourself

[terse karma]

How do you even download the previous save, if you know?
Ik I could google but my internet is rlly slow 😭👊

[sand gorge]

Maybe they will release the two patches in one go.

[sand gorge]

Since the first one was out on ps while we were waiting for the first switch patch.

[radiant coral]

NSO has no save data history, you must turn off automatic save data backup so you can download a previous save

[radiant coral]

maybe its possible

[fresh cypress]

i hope theres no data corruption while playing rivulet lol

[radiant coral]

there is, someone got it on ps in ||the rot|| recently

[fresh cypress]

auuhgg

[terse karma]

I know but I mean like,how do you download it? Is it just where the backup settings are or? Sorry im a little slow 😭 or is it like automatic or something
Right now RW for me is apparently “waiting to backup”

[radiant coral]

i think it happens when u die or hibernate aka when u auto save

[terse karma]

The game failing to save correctly and then ruining everything is wild HSNSNS

[fresh cypress]

i dont wanna get online just to keep my data

[radiant coral]

settings > data management > save data cloud > select user > settings > advanced save-data settings > find rain world to turn it off, and to download it/ back it up go to rw on the home screen press the + button go to save data cloud go to the user ur play it on press it and u get options to back it up or download it

[radiant coral]

u just have to be online to back it up or download it if it got corrupted

[terse karma]

Thank you so much HSHZHS

[radiant coral]

remember to back it up tho so u dont lose a lot a progress

[fresh cypress]

why do things keep getting worse in every patch

[mighty grotto]

This is probably just to be expected but ive been experiencing a ton of lag in the underhang and five pebbles areas. Some pipe transitions are taking quite a while especially in unforchy development. Has made it difficult to navigate around. Ik theres like a ton of different elements on screen and some rooms are huge but its really only been happening after the remix update. On ps5 version.

Also zap coil textures arent loading in properly. The kinda white lines n stuff arent there, only the blue light that it emits is present. (sorry if this is the wrong channel)

[radiant coral]

i had no lag problems on ps4/5 but i do with switch

except for the rooms with like a million neurons flying around

[mighty grotto]

Yeah it tends to just freeze for a couple seconds a lot. Typically in the same places throughout different cycles.
Quite a lot of the rooms in the superstructure were pretty bad for me. All of general bus system obvs but also that huge room in memory conflux? Was absolutely chugging through there.
That pipe leading out of the gravity sphere (??) room in UD was horrid. Genuinely suprised it didnt crash cause it felt like it was going to everytime i had to pass through there. Which was quite a bit xp

[radiant coral]

i never had it freeze on me just drops to what i think is 17-25 fps

[mighty grotto]

Yeah its been weird! I mean at least the patches slightly helped for me? It used to just kick it every 10 minutes or so and it hasnt crashed at all yet after a couple hours so.... a positive ig?

[radiant coral]

its a positive that it doesnt crash and corrupt your data yea

[wet turret]

my switch says there’s a rain worl update

[sand gorge]

Weird, mine doesn't show an update.

[radiant coral]

same here

[honest ether]

That's exactly what they'll do. The latest Switch patch was 2 patches for PS4

I'm sure Nintendo's certification just cancels the waiting update if the publisher pushes a new one.

At least that'd be the only way that'd make sense

Or they could've just not sent the first patch for certification

[versed matrix]

I had the corruption problem on the ps4

in already hopeless on getting my data back because I had no backups nor ps+

so if anyone could help I'd like to know how to delete the corrupted data

[wet turret]

is current patch 1.0.4?

[honest ether]

No

It's 1.9.09

1.04 was the previous patch.

[wet turret]

ohhhh ok that explains it

what did they fix?

[honest ether]

A couple small things and reduced the game's size by 1 Gig

[sand gorge]

Really?

[honest ether]

They fixed some graphical issues

[fresh cypress]

they didnt fix the sfx and music issues tho

[radiant coral]

settings > storage > saved data, also since its the ps4 version you can back it up with a usb not just ps+

[versed matrix]

yeah, that is why I clarified I that I didn't had a backup

but thanks for trying to help

man, I'm wondering, did they even play tested the game?

before installing downpour the game only crashed 2 times

[honest ether]

[radiant coral]

i think the save data corruption started happening after the second safari fix

[honest ether]

Paying internal testers cost too much

[versed matrix]

oh

it could be it

[neon loom]

Yeah same here

[radiant coral]

reason why switch users havent had that problem cuz they dont have those patches yet

[versed matrix]

guess that I will just speedrun the game and play hunter

[versed matrix]

yeah, lucky switch players lmao

[honest ether]

We'll see if it affects Switch.

Haven't heard from any Xbox players, but also Rain World itself only just released

[neon loom]

I mean it's probably easier to not playtest it and instead get feedback from players

[honest ether]

Yeah but that means a broken launch experience

[versed matrix]

it seems like to basic of a error to get it pass through doe

[honest ether]

And also the people porting it themselves would've noticed the the sound issues even.

That's not even something that'd need a dedicated tester for

[versed matrix]

the game is also really laggy in some areas

mainly the new ones

[terse karma]

This is kind of rnadom, but did they patch slups disappearing in Pipeyard on PS? I ahvent heard anything about that in awhile

[honest ether]

I'm certainly not testing that again

[fast marlin]

i think i remember someones got corrupted with gourmand too, idk if any slugcat is 100% safe

[radiant coral]

pretty sure it can happen to any of them

[fast marlin]

its ps plus exclusive unfortunately, i had to pay just to backup my save

i tjink i replied to the wrong thing whoops

[fast marlin]

meant to reply to this

[radiant coral]

i was able to back up my ps4 save without having plus

[fast marlin]

was it with usb?

[radiant coral]

yea

[fast marlin]

yaa it probably a better solution than buying ps plus

[radiant coral]

i still need plus cuz my new main is my ps5 save now

[stark rock]

What’s the most recent patch for rain world on ps5?

I know that the most recent patch on switch is 1.9.09

[honest ether]

1.9.11 I believe

[gritty loom]

Switch is still behind a few patches right? Music still not fixed?

[chilly bobcat]

found a REALLY specific crash

||making a firebug kill a slugpup while inv is active causes a crash|| [spoilers for saint + secret campaign]

[stark rock]

Expedition quests, perks, and missions doesn’t work, safari doesn’t work, Music is still kinda borked, sound effects are still kinda borked

If I can count correctly we’re 2 patches behind

[chilly bobcat]

thanks nintendo

[gritty loom]

thnintendo

Ok, sounds like the fixes exist and we can expect them but it has to go through Nintendo, rad. I am in FA headed for what I expect is the end of the game and don’t wanna do it until the music is back lol

Thank you!!

[shadow stag]

how did it you even manage to find that

[honest ether]

Probably accident, then isolating the variables at play, and testing them.

[chilly bobcat]

i was “testing creature morality” (blowing them up for fun), coalescipedes also cause a crash btw

[granite elbow]

I was playing gourd a couple of days ago and had triplets

But heres the problem

If you enter a pipe while holding one of these in your hand the game crashes

[honest ether]

Did you hibernate in Pipeyard?

Oh.

[granite elbow]

AND BOY I DONT WANNA TELL YOU HOW MUCH KARMA I HAD TO GRIND FOR BECAUSE I JUST THOUGHT THAT IT WAS NORMAL CRASHING

[granite elbow]

And yes i did hibernate in pipeyard for the red centi on my food list

[honest ether]

Hopefully not with the babies

Wait.

Are you talking about slugpups, or those blue things on the floor

Are those singularity bombs? Yeah I heard people crash when going through a tunnel while holding them

I assumed triplets meant babies

[neon loom]

I've had a bomb for most of my gourmand run and ot hasn't crashed once, maybe with two though

[honest ether]

I think 2 yeah

Inv works fine at the start it seems

[lapis pewter]

How do you guys know the patch would come in 1 week (this week now)?

[brittle glen]

Wait, is there finally news about the release date of the Switch patch?

[echo cosmos]

I crashed when I enter a room with a singularity bomb in my hand
Does anyone else have the same issue?

[woven burrow]

Throwing spears as Spearmaster at Jellyfish crashes the game
(And it also reduced my karma tho I had karma flower protection)

[stark rock]

You can turn the music back on by fiddling with the Music slider in options (putting it down and then putting it back up)

Make sure you do it to the Music slider and not Arena Music slider

[gritty loom]

interesting, I had heard that doesn't work for very long

like, that it reverts quickly

[honest ether]

Maybe? From my experience it causes music to play generally okay in campaign

Might miss some music triggers in some areas, but threat music plays appropriately.

[thin barn]

Hey uh

I am doing a playthrough with a slugpup and I got to FP and ate neurons to get a good glow . I go to a shelter and then passage to IC because I am not gonna go back down the wall lol
Well I passage and I lose the neuron glow

Is that supposed to happen ?? Or is it cause IC is brighter than the wall at night and that’s why I can’t see the glow

[honest ether]

A screenshot would help

[thin barn]

I believe I recorded it on the switch let me try

Didn’t record it but I took a photo

[lapis pewter]

This is the freaking THIRD time i had to RE-MAP the ENTIRETY of past Garbage Wastes, like, this is driving me nuts.

[lapis pewter]

Has anyone else had this problem?

[neon loom]

With past garbage wastes i would not even bother

after the third time

[near atlas]

wait so was the corrupted patch the last one?

[near atlas]

is the audio/music fine yet

does anyone even know why console has been such a mess

[lapis pewter]

And my artificer Waterfront Facility also got wiped.
Why is this my life now.

[lapis pewter]

Probably because of rushing to get it out.

[near atlas]

I thought they said they were "Taking their time so the bugs on PC don't come to console" 😭

I guess they succeeded in that but now there's an even larger problem at hand

[honest ether]

Switch update is out

[lapis pewter]

And?

[honest ether]

Latest patch.

[lapis pewter]

Is it good!

[honest ether]

It's downloading for me.

Should be the music and sfx fix

With Safari crash fix

[lapis pewter]

It's a big update too!

1.7GB is quite big.

For an update.

[honest ether]

Probably goes back down if you redownload the game.

The patches released have all been pretty big.

[mossy trout]

installing the new switch patch rn

[brisk cargo]

Finally

[lapis pewter]

It also is taking longer than normal to update (like i said, quite big), this must be the best update so far!

[honest ether]

It's probably just replacing all the game files lol.

[lapis pewter]

I hope it won't delete progress.

[honest ether]

It wouldn't affect your save data

[mossy trout]

first thing im checking is safari mode to see if its actually functional now

[brisk cargo]

Me too

[lapis pewter]

I'm gonna check my maps.

It's stuck at 80%.

Hopefully it fixes some unnecessary lag too.

It's still stuck at 80%, oh no.

[honest ether]

This patch was finalised nearly 2 weeks ago. Don't get your hopes up for a lag fix.

[lapis pewter]

There goes all my hope for these map glitches.

[honest ether]

Oh. It's 1.9.10

Not 1.9.11

[lapis pewter]

OOOOF

Let's wait another week.

[honest ether]

And the download size collapsed back down into the regular size

[lapis pewter]

Yo, it says 35 minutes to go.

[honest ether]

Idk. 1.9.10 and 1.9.11 were released within a couple days of each other. Who knows.

[lapis pewter]

I'm at 82%

You know nintendo.

[honest ether]

The music is fixed

[lapis pewter]

Oh yeah, you're right!

[mossy trout]

menu music is fixed

[honest ether]

Can go through pipes in Safari

[keen dagger]

Are there supposed to be any map and crash fixes on switch yet? I can deal with the shotty performance on switch, but the map glitches and crashes are terrible

[honest ether]

I think there were separate Safari fixes in each patch. So it probably still crashes in some circumstances

[mossy trout]

SAFARI ACTUALLY FUNCTIONS NOW

[lapis pewter]

YEEEEESSS!

[mossy trout]

ITS SO BEAUTIFUL

[lapis pewter]

NOODLEFLY MASSACRE!

[near atlas]

I have not gotten the patch yet?

huh

needed to manually check for one in options but it's updating now

weird

[lapis pewter]

And expedition?

[stark rock]

I’m gonna check expedition first, then safari

[lapis pewter]

The quests aren't filled in...

I don't think expedition is fixed.

[stark rock]

Dammit

Prolly came in 1.9.11 then

[mossy trout]

leaving as a vulture still crashes the game

but other than that safari seems mostly fixed

[stark rock]

I want to finagle my way into Moon’s puppet chamber as a lizard

[lapis pewter]

Sometimes steam audio glitches out though.

[honest ether]

Pretty sure 1.9.11 is the SFX fix

[sand gorge]

The switch patch, the switch patch is real.

[bronze portal]

did they fix the have they fix the lose all your progress glitch

[honest ether]

Players on the latest patch on PS4 have been having save corruption issues. So it's hard to say for Switch

Will have to see

Maybe they delayed 1.9.11 because of the save issues.

[sand gorge]

The corruption issue may also be the reason.

[honest ether]

This is what 1.9.10 fixed, and what 1.9.11 will have.

[near atlas]

the intro cutscene still has weird music desync

do we know when that'll be fixed on switch?

[lapis pewter]

Normally in the next update.
I remember seeing a post with the patch notes on PS, and for this update they said "safari crash fixes and audio fixes".
It didn't say "fixed" like in the update after that.
That means there may still be some inconveniences (like the steam audio).

[honest ether]

The message I replied to earlier has that image

[near atlas]

do we know when the next update is vaguely

or specifically

[tulip arch]

Update is out

[thin barn]

YOOOOO

[thin barn]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO

Oh safari my beloved

[stark rock]

Safari mostly works (going off screen as Vultures tend to crash the game, but going through pipes as anyone else works like normal)

Expedition still doesn’t work on switch tho

[mossy trout]

ALL WILL FALL BEFORE NOOTFLY

[honest ether]

Maybe the next 2 days. But I could guess also another week. Hard to say.

It would be weird if it came out really soon.

[thin barn]

Ok Safari crashed when I was in ( Gourmand spoiler ) ||OU || but it’s understandable cuz that region is very laggy on Switch lol

[upper imp]

MY PEARL JUST DISAPPEARED AS SPEARMASTER?

HELP

[fresh cypress]

ambience is fixed lol

[stark rock]

Maybe use a passage with the remix option “key items on passage” enabled?

[rare sedge]

Safari pipes work now?

[rare sedge]

The music breaking is only for safari mode right now right?

[sand gorge]

My music breaks after sometime in a normal run.

[sand gorge]

But it broke faster in safari.

[short parrot]

Game still crashes in safari mode, audio still messed up too. I know I had a crash when I was playing with someone in coop

(for me atleast on switch)

[upper imp]

But I literally can't get it back now

I had it on too

[stark rock]

What do you mean by “can’t get it back”?

[thin barn]

Yeah I do noticed that safari lags with inputs and sound effects are buggy

[near atlas]

I've been at expedition level 5 on switch and have gotten nothing. I know there's supposed to be rewards on those levels and I was hoping that the patch would give me them. Am I locked out of getting those rewards forever?

[near atlas]

yeah but like the next one

after the one that just released

[golden gale]

So do you guys recommend still waiting to start a playthrough of the game ? As a new player Ive been waiting since downpour released on switch before starting to play to make sure I wouldnt have data corruption issues

Or would you say its safe to start playing now

[fresh cypress]

i'd wait until the sfx is fixed

sound effects are buggy rn

[lament thorn]

Just had my first post-Downpour crash in the Shoreline room where there's a shelter and three pipes at the top. Crashed going through the middle one. Thankfully only happened once, weird nonetheless. Playing as Survivor btw

[dusky umbra]

same happened to me with two campaigns it's ridiculous

at shoreline aswell

[radiant coral]

i believe data corruption is on the patch that fixed expedition so the switch still doesnt have it yet

[fresh cypress]

i sure hope it doesnt

[near atlas]

man

[radiant coral]

if it dont happen now but does when switch is up to date then we know its that patch

[near atlas]

if they roll it out anyway despite that I'm gonna be pissed

[radiant coral]

i havent been playing it on my ps5 cuz i dont want to redo everything and for switch i just turned off automatic backup save data for just rw so i dont have to worry about it

[near atlas]

so the data is corrupted for your ps5?

[radiant coral]

no i just stopped playing after i finished survivor and doing all pearls that survivor can do at first on my ps5 version once i heard of data corruption and start messing with the ps4 version to see if i can replicate it with the know scugs that it happened with and backed the ps4 save up with a usb

[near atlas]

ah

[near atlas]

if I back up my stuff on switch rn will it be saved?

[tender jay]

Finally I won't be doomed to vultures as a elite scavenger

[near atlas]

would I be able to return to it if there is data problems next patch

apparently I last saved in 2020 so I saved again rn

[radiant coral]

turn off automatic back up save data for just rw so you can back it up, also lets say you backed it up after completing gourmand and you decided to do artificer and it crashes during your run and it gets dragged down to the pits of hell to be corrupted, if you didnt turn off automatic back up it should be still corrupted but if you turn it off it should be back when you completed gourmand(saying "should" cuz it hasnt happened yet on switch and i havent downloaded an old save yet but it should work)

[near atlas]

gotcha. how do I turn it off?

[radiant coral]

[near atlas]

alright, ty

[cunning stratus]

still waiting lol

brooo

[cunning stratus]

deadass?

oh bet!

[lapis pewter]

I'm sick and tired of these map glitches, my past GW for artificer got wiped, my rivulet shoreline got set back to an uncomplete state, everything is just getting worse the more i play.

Wait a minute, i somehow got it to show up now by switching between slugcats?
This concludes it...
It must be the cause.
(artificer spoiler region in the background)

This part i encircled in blue isn't on switch.
The reason my map always freaks out for regions that can be visited by multiple slugcats, but not for exclusive ones is because it doesn't know which map to show.

This is the problem, i know it.

[radiant coral]

i think its worst for garbage waste cuz theres two different versions of it so it dont know which garbage waste to show

[lapis pewter]

Yeah, that area is the one that is most affected.

I hope the devs fix it and add these icons, it's really unhandy trying to find the right map.

[radiant coral]

its like that on ps so its should come when nintendo pushes out that patch but i think that patch brings data corruption along with it

[lapis pewter]

But PS had these icons already before those updates, right?
Or am i mistaken?

[radiant coral]

ps got it when expedition got fixed which was the last update so far

[lapis pewter]

Oh, really!
So these icons weren't on there on launch?

[radiant coral]

no at one point ps was just like the switch with its bugs

[lapis pewter]

Good to know!
I hope the update comes to switch as soon as possible, but then the save-breaking bug can be ported over...

[radiant coral]

if you have NSO i recommend that you turn off automatic back up save data so it dont back up corrupted data

artificer's scar doesn't stay on her eye(don't know if its really a bug but its something)

[lapis pewter]

Yeah, i noticed this too on switch.

I thought it was normal though.

i'm gonna compare real quick-

[sinful cobalt]

Hopeful maybe that they fix the Safari mode

[radiant coral]

i noticed it on both platforms i also looked at a recent video of the pc version and its like that on there too, its not really noticeable during normal gameplay but in 5P its really noticeable

[lapis pewter]

They did!
But expedition is still bamboozled, and sfx are not completely fixed.

[lapis pewter]

I guess that's a good thing then!

[fresh cypress]

its a sprite animation thing

i doubt they cared lol

i wouldnt

[stark rock]

If this is 1.9.10 then yeah Safari mode is mostly fixed (the only consistent crash is that leaving a room while controlling a vulture is very likely going to cause a game crash)

[dusk hare]

does anyone else's game just crash when trying to enter waterfront through the shaded gate in expedition mode

[thin barn]

Yeah I was gonna say it’s probably just how the sprite moves lol -

[neon loom]

Lmao yeah I just discovered that

At least it's consistent

[stark rock]

I mean I got it to not crash when I left as a king vulture

Once

In Spearmaster’s garbage wastes

In these rooms

[lapis pewter]

Are you even meant to leave as a vulture?
Because vultures normally don't go into pipes.
Are you sure the glitch is not that it crashes when you leave, but that you can even leave?

[fast marlin]

u can leave but it is a glitch

[lapis pewter]

I think he means safari.

[fast marlin]

yea but if they can leave pipes as a glitch with ai then they can probably leave through pipes while playing as them, it would probably be easier

[lapis pewter]

Is it normal gravity is normal in UD in artificer?
I know about spearmaster having normal gravity there, but the wiki didn't say anything about artificer.

[neon loom]

New glitch

Red lizards are entirely unable to be selected in safari for me

[lapis pewter]

I can select them.

I'm on switch.

[amber pecan]

same

I have a hard time selecting vulture grubs and hazers, but the random teleport will still let me control them

[stark rock]

By leaving the room I mean going off screen off the top

Which they are intended to do

[stark rock]

I’ve found it hard to select red lizards, but I can still control them

It’s just really finicky

[stark rock]

I mean probably?

There’s barely any rot so I wouldn’t be surprised if gravity was always off in artificer’s UD

[inner whale]

Pups aren’t becoming mine after sheltering they just disappear ;-;

Ps4

[terse karma]

Are you in Pipeyard?

[inner whale]

-_-

Ye

[terse karma]

Pipeyard despawns pups

[inner whale]

Is that on purpose?

[terse karma]

No

It’s only Pipeyard though

[inner whale]

Okay thanks so much for letting me know

Have a good one

[terse karma]

All other regions are good
No problem! You too

[inner whale]

Wait quick question do they despawn even if I’m already linked to them? Should I avoid pipeyard once I have bebe

[terse karma]

Yes, you should avoid Pipeyard if you have a pup/pups

[languid anchor]

new patch for switch what it do

[radiant coral]

sort of fixed safari(kills all audio when you play it), music works on start up, after a bit sfx stops somewhat

[languid anchor]

woo
still no expedition fix?

[radiant coral]

that is fixed in 1.9.11 but i think data corruption is in that patch too

[languid anchor]

pain

do you know the details of the data corruption?

[radiant coral]

so far the scugs that have had this happen to is artificer in ||metropolis||, gourmand trying to hibernate, inv trying to hibernate, spearmaster dying in ||precipice||, and recently rivulet dying in ||the rot||, most of these happen when you die or hibernate, a.k.a. when you auto save, so when it crashes during on of those events it corrupts the data so it can probably happen to any scug, also its not consistent for everyone i have tried all but the rivulet one yet and it has not happened to me yet

[languid anchor]

honestly that feels scarier than it just deleting save data when you download the patch

[radiant coral]

notice how switch players haven't reported this issue yet, only playstation users(idk about xbox tho, it did come out recently)

[languid anchor]

well thats nice ig

[radiant coral]

its only a matter of time till switch joins the party

[languid anchor]

unrelated but i swear that since the remix update grabbing has felt less responsive

[radiant coral]

i play on both switch and ps4/5 and i haven't had that issue on both

[languid anchor]

sometimes ill try to grab something and i have to just stand there for like an entire second before the game lets me grab it

really bad when i need to grab something right this instant™️ in order to not die

and just really annoying otherwise

im used to just being able to run over, grab something, and then immediately turn around to go throw it or be on my way

[terse karma]

I feel like I’ve vaguely had that issue? But I don’t exactly know if I did or if I was just being dumb or smthn

[languid anchor]

like the item definitely flashed for a bit to indicate i can pick it up, and i definitely pressed grab to actually pick it up and it just
isnt in my hand

i know it doesnt sound like much but ive died multiple times because of this

[remote cove]

anyone else have the bug where bright blue light effects render as black?

[stark rock]

Yeah

The shock walls in pebbles look strange

And the flashbang looks weird

[remote cove]

yeah I saw both of those and new something was wrong

[stark rock]

In the same way as the shock walls

[remote cove]

knew* oop

pebbles... ur coils are broken...

[honest ether]

Yes 100%

That's really strange

Idk why it happens

[faint zephyr]

Has anyone else noticed vultures don't make tunnels flash really bright anymore?

[honest ether]

I haven't noticed but I know what you mean. Creatures that don't use tunnels still causing the little colour notifier. I don't know if that's intentional though.

It's helpful even if the creature isn't imminently about to come through the tunnel. So in my opinion vultures should still do it.

[west whale]

hey so I was wondering if anyone else encountered a bug with the waterfront shelter just before the gate to garbage wastes
my game was playing fine until the shelter failed, which is fine and all but when trying to exit the room to the right, the game just auto crashes, and I've effectively soft locked myself
is there a way around it or am I just doomed to reset the run?

[radiant coral]

i sort of had that but with the shelter close to the jellyfish unlock, i'm trying to fill the collection menu so i had a cycle where i was moving pearls to a different shelter, sometimes when i go to the furthest right pipe, going toward ||struts|| it would crash

[radiant coral]

also maybe try and wait til the pre-cycle is over then leave

[lapis pewter]

Yeah, i've noticed that too sometimes.

[rare sedge]

And also Inv dying in shaded

Or at least I think it was shaded

[radiant coral]

yea I just looked and you're right, its still very inconsistent cuz i did die a bunch trying to make it to the first shelter cuz well... inv and it didnt do it to me

[languid anchor]

yes
ill think the vulture has left but its right on top of the tunnel

[languid anchor]

yee
makes me more nervous around the zap coils bc theyre a bit less obvious

[languid anchor]

hey arent precycle spawns supposed to leave after the precycle ends?

or am i going crazy

[neon loom]

I think they patched that for flashbang effects

including electric spears too

But not for the electric coils

[lapis pewter]

So the next update will arrive on switch next week?

[silent lantern]

Did they just release a patch?

Or no

[honest ether]

Seems like it. Maybe longer even. I'm guessing they've delayed it because of the save issue. Might have to wait until they release 1.9.12 on PS4 and wait 10 days extra until Switch gets it.

Has PS4 gotten any updates recently?

[stark rock]

They released 1.9.10 a couple days ago

Which made Safari (mostly) playable

[lapis pewter]

Yeah, sound effects just degrade for some reason after playing for a couple of hours.
It just gets really quiet.
But it seems mostly fine before that.

[silent lantern]

Just got a data corruption after dying by falling to the abyss with a squidcada as Spearmaster on sky islands, at the communication tower in Sky Islands. It crashed when i was at the game over screen and i knew it was gonna happen. Thankfully i downloaded the saved data from yesterday so i dont lose everything

[stark rock]

What platform/patch are you on?

[silent lantern]

Ps4

v 1.9.11 on the options screen

Or just the recent patch available

[stark rock]

That would be 1.9.11

[dire rain]

Is it just me or is data deletion extremely inconsistent? I'm seeing a ton of reports of it and getting worried but I've been playing and nothing has happened

[fast marlin]

yeah its confusing i keep slowly discovering that its happened to more scugs, idk abt saint but all the rest have, at first i only knew abt spearmaster and artificer but irs happening w gourmand and rivulet

[radiant coral]

i tried most of how the reports said it happened except rivulet rn and it has not happened to me at all

[dire rain]

Strange

[radiant coral]

i have not touched the game for the ps5 version(i have been testing them on the ps4 version), i'm just waiting for 1.9.12 to hopefully fix it

[silent lantern]

If it crashes during the game over screen where the slugcat is dead then its likely gonna get corrupted

[radiant coral]

that and when you hibernate

[radiant coral]

i havent heard anything about the vanilla scugs and most likely nobaody can even get to saint cuz it corrupts their data before they can even unlock them

[neon loom]

Tbh i will probably just take a break from campaigns until the data corruption is fixed

[radiant coral]

i saw a post said it happened during expedition, no where is safe

[neon loom]

Yeah that makes sense, I meant maybe grind for some challenges or just stop playing until the patch happens

[radiant coral]

anyone get really bad lag in LttM region(switch version)?

[gilded vessel]

Goly

That’s a lot of problems

Idk why

But um

If you bring a slug pup to pipe yard going in from the industrial your slug pup will despawn

It’s weird

[radiant coral]

hibernating with a slugpup in pipeyard for some reasons sends them to the shadow realm, one of the weirder bugs but not super game breaking

[honest ether]

Only Pipeyard for some reason, and from any hibernation point. I first encountered it coming from Shoreline, then immediately after coming from Industrial Complex since they came back after I used a Passage, which is the only way to fix it yourself I believe.

I wonder if it's fixed in 1.9.10 or 11

[chrome eagle]

Does the game keep crashing constantly for anyone else? (Ps4)

Especially on rivulet

Had my save data corrupted :(

[radiant coral]

in ||the rot||?

[radiant coral]

also save data corruption is extremely inconstant, some will be just fine while others are getting it without fail it feels like

[chrome eagle]

Nope. It crashes at least once in every region

[radiant coral]

did the data corruption happen in ||the rot||?

[chrome eagle]

Nope

In Industrial Complex

[lapis pewter]

Spearmaster, or any other slugcat?
It has been working really well for spearmaster, but i have seen some lag in subregion LttM, but not that bad.
You're saying region, so i guess you mean spearmaster.

[solemn pecan]

I cleaned my switch gallery and so I have a few screenshots and videos of weird glitchy things and errors from the past 4-5 days

For example this glitch when I pressed pause in a pipe

[solemn pecan]

Here astatic screenshot of that event

Two instances of Weird map inconsistencies in Saint endgame region ||Rubicon||. The actual pipes don't line up with what the map says should be there.

Also weird ground collision in the corner of this room

[radiant coral]

yes i mean spearmaster

[radiant coral]

did it crash and corrupt your data when you die or hibernated, like on the death or hibernation screen, thats what its usually on when it happens

[sand gorge]

I think that this one was before remix.

There are many places like that.

[sand gorge]

I also got the map glitch of the second clip.

[chrome eagle]

No, it crashed around the start of the cycle

[solemn pecan]

will there definetly be a performence fox for challenges and arena in the next switch update? Does anybody know? Because I am at the one with hunter flying through 0 G and the joke rifle and have like 6fps

it takes around 6 minutes to make a loop and get like 120 shots

and I usually die before that

also this challenge crashes on switch sometime

should be challenge #64 Lizard reloaded

[radiant coral]

it didnt lag for me

[solemn pecan]

All challenges lag, but saints challenges and this one lag massively

they are pretty much painful to play

huh

[radiant coral]

i never had lag in the challenges

[solemn pecan]

after restarting after the crash this challenge actually plays decently fluid

I tried restarting in saint challenges and it never worked

my saint challenge experience

[radiant coral]

i just got into that challenge and its working fine for me

[solemn pecan]

I tried everything to make it work. I restarted my switch multiple times. Closed the game on it's own, go into story mode

but most challenges were just really lag

[radiant coral]

are you on version 1.9.10?

[solemn pecan]

Story works fine, expeditions work fine.

Well where can I check version number?

[radiant coral]

options

[solemn pecan]

yep, I'm on v1.9.10

I'm playing on handheld mode if that makes any difference

[radiant coral]

then idk cuz the challenges work fine for me, but some areas in the story lag like ||struts||

[radiant coral]

i tested it out on handheld mode just now

[solemn pecan]

yeah ||struts|| and basically all versions of 5p for me as well as ||spearmaster lttm||

[solemn pecan]

weird

I wonder why my challenges are just laggy

[sand gorge]

You should put that in spoiler.

[solemn pecan]

couldn't figure out how to spoiler that after the fact

[near atlas]

has anyone already reported how slugcat map icons will show up weird when you're looking in regions?

(e.g. Saint's icon will show up as survivor's if you last played survivor)

[solemn pecan]

might be related to how when you try to pasage to a region that slugcat couldn't go to, you basically switch to that campaign. (E.g I went with ym spearmaster to shoreline and was then in Rivulets campaign)

[near atlas]

nah

I went to a saint-exclusive region as saint, then I started a save file as survivor

then saint's icon shows up as white like survivor's

[chrome eagle]

Just found out the issue is way worse

The game doesn't save anymore

Though this could be more of a ps issue than the game itself

[radiant coral]

try deleting the save from the ps stroage

[lapis pewter]

Yeah, somehow these pipes coincidentally are on the same spot as non existent shelters are on the wiki's map.
It's also like that in the shoreline tunnel room in that region.

[radiant coral]

is it safe to passage as other scugs, like if i passage to outskirts as spearmaster am i still in spearmaster's campaign and go to places like ||waterfront facility and LttM region|| still or do i get put into survivor's regions

[languid anchor]

why not just
use the cheat menu to unlock saint and test it out then?

also not sure if this has been reported yet but
i can passage to literally any region
saw this as both survivor and spearmaster, i have no idea what happens when you try to passage to a region that doesnt exist in the campaign youre currently playing but i did passage to metropolis as survivor (the possibility of grabbing the 2 pearls up there was too tempting) and it poofed my slugpups and killed my rain timer
i cant check how much longer i have in a cycle anymore on my survivor save

[radiant coral]

if it can happen to 5/9 i would think it can happen to the others as well and i would like to know where to go to test it like the others so i can just speedrun to the place it happens in

[languid anchor]

btw is the data corruption patch out on switch yet or nah? id like to know if its safe to play lmao

[radiant coral]

1.9.11 is the evil patch

so no not yet

[languid anchor]

btw how do i check the patch
unless its on like the title screen in which case im a dumbass

[radiant coral]

you mean like patch notes or the version number?

[languid anchor]

version number

though knowing where i can check the patch notes would be nice too

[radiant coral]

switch doesnt have patch notes not even the ps5 version but ps4 version does, also to see the version number you can see it in the options menu or on the switch home screen by pressing the + button

[languid anchor]

ty

[radiant coral]

also when the switch joins the party of data corruption, if you have NSO you can turn off automatic backup save data for just rain world so it doesnt auto backup a corrupted save

[honest ether]

They might just release 1.9.12 and skip 1.9.11 for Switch because of the save corruption.

[stark rock]

Is 1.9.12 even out for anybody?

[radiant coral]

not yet

[strong halo]

Found minor audio bug in ||The Leg|| where a background noise just doesn’t stop until you enter a pipe.

[neon loom]

Really hope so, i would rather take no expedition and glitchy audio if it means i can keep playing at all

[gilded vessel]

Ok I know that is isn’t like something from down pour but I think it’s a big that’s caused by it

I think your supposed to eat moons neurons to get this achievement and I did that but I never got the achievement

Idk what’s happening but after eating all of moons neurons nothing happened

And I’m pretty sure that’s how you get it

But if that’s not the case could anyone of you help me

[honest ether]

You eat a neuron and then hibernate. You only need to eat one.

[gilded vessel]

I ate one

Wait

Do you need mark of communication

[honest ether]

No

[gilded vessel]

Damn

[stark rock]

Pretty sure you have to do it on your first visit

[oak fractal]

Nope, you can get it at any time

That's how you get a new friend and stolen enlightenment in one run

Unless the main update at DP launch has changed that

[radiant coral]

while trying to get my data corrupted to see if it would happen to me i almost beat the ||scav king|| first try, i have not had a good try since

[gilded vessel]

Yeah because I went in I ran my ass all the way to her and I didn’t get it

Even though I ate her neuron and hibernated

[radiant coral]

well i beat artificer and it didnt happen it is incredible inconsistent

[wintry rampart]

Posting this here as well since I'm also playing on switch,

my ||slugpup|| that I've had through out my entire Gourmand playthrough (from shaded citadel to fp to visiting lttm) suddenly despawned when I rested in ||pipeyard||. I was really attached to them, is there any way I can get them back? 😦

[radiant coral]

i heard passaging might help bring them back but in the future dont have slugpups if you need to go to pipeyard

[wintry rampart]

I was doing all passages in my gourmand run so I kind of had to visit pipeyard to get them all, honestly really sucks that a bug like that even exists

[radiant coral]

dont know if its been said but on the ps version you can no longer passage to a region you shouldn't(ex: Rivulet passaging to ||Rubicon||) you can only passage to regions you have visted during that playthrough, switch still lets you so i dont even know if its safe to passage to a region you are supposed to be allowed in

[radiant coral]

if you passage it should bring them back i think

[languid anchor]

dunno if this counts as "a region you are supposed to be allowed in" but i did passage to metropolis on switch as survivor and it deleted my slugpups and made my rain timer permanently invisible

this was last patch i think tho

[radiant coral]

technically survivor is not supposed to be allowed in ||metropolis|| during the story or expedition unless thats the starting region(monk and gourmand is included in this)

[stark rock]

Yeah

Iirc even if you turn off karma requirements the only way anyone that isn’t Arti can get into metropolis is either by spawning there in Expedition or Passaging

[radiant coral]

cant passage there on ps anymore tho

[stark rock]

I don’t play on ps so it don’t really matter for me

[radiant coral]

i play on both so i wish it was like that on switch minus the data corruption the patch came with

[stark rock]

It would be nice if the passages were limited to “Regions You Have Visited Before But Have Access To Normally”

Such as Spearmaster being able to passage to ||Looks To The Moon|| if you have map data there even if you haven’t been there in your playthrough yet

While stopping Spearmaster from passaging to ||metropolis||

[radiant coral]

it might, i'm going through it on the ps4 version for the first time(mainly to see if it will corrupt my data) so it might let you do it in a second play through but definitely wont let you on your first if you havent visted it yet as that slugcat

[languid anchor]

wait i just loaded up my survivor save
my rain timer is fixed???

i remember messing with the "hide rain timer" remix option to see if that would fix it but i dont remember if it actually did

[neon loom]

New glitch

Sanbox kept freezing for me, gonna see what is happening with it

Not particularly bad since you can still pause and exit out but still annoying

At first I thought it was because rot ate an elite scav and the game didn't know what to do with the mask

But now I think it's when a specific song starts to play

I don't know which one it is

[radiant coral]

i started testing it and it happened multiple times inconstantly for different songs

[olive river]

I think a new patch for switch came out, the audio problems have been fixed i think

[radiant coral]

so how often does ||the rot|| crash?

[radiant coral]

i feel like my ps4 version knows i'm backing up my save so its not crashing, i heard ||the rot|| has real bad performance issues and crashes, but its been fine for me

[hallow patrol]

Decently often on my end, it's the daddy long legs that usually do it for me, they get into weird spots and the console no like

[radiant coral]

i've seen them in weird spots too but nothing

[neon loom]

First time exploring the rot and i noticed 2 things:

1. i love this region

2. I experienced awful frame drops in a few rooms with a lot of active rot but no crashes

[neon loom]

wait new patch?? has anyone experienced data corruption on switch

[honest ether]

No new patch.

They just hadn't updated until now.

[neon loom]

Oh ok good

[honest ether]

The audio problems still aren't fixed

[main heron]

are audio probems audio in general, or just music? Cuz I have 0 music

[faint zephyr]

Audio in general. Music should be fine, it’s even fixed on the title screen

Check the music slider in options

[languid anchor]

you like the rot?????
criminally insane /j

[main heron]

If I adjust the slider in the menu, I can hear it then, but when I start the game I don't hear any music

[faint zephyr]

That’s fixed for Switch at least

What console are you on?

[radiant coral]

i have it on switch and ps4/5 and its fixed it might be xbox then

[main heron]

Switch; is there a patch I'm missing? How do I find it?

[radiant coral]

what is the version number?

[faint zephyr]

On the switch menu press plus on rain world

[main heron]

v1.9.08

[radiant coral]

switch is on 1.9.10

[main heron]

I just looked up Rain world on the switch marketplace to find an update and downpour is $15? What caused my save file to be wiped then?

[faint zephyr]

I think save file wipes happened no matter if downpour is bought or not since it’s not supposed to be wiped

[rare sedge]

It wipes some peoples saves but not every bodies

Mine didn’t get wiped

[main heron]

only save slot 1 was wiped though, not two which was my friend's

How do I get it to update? It just says purchased when I look at it in the marketplace

[faint zephyr]

Regardless, to update go back to the switch menu, press plus, go to software update, then press via internet

[main heron]

thank you!

the download needs 1.7 gb of space??

[faint zephyr]

I guess?

[main heron]

I'll figure it out, I might finally get a microSD card. any advice on that?

[honest ether]

Your game should reduce in size

From 1.9.08 to latest

[neon loom]

best region so far aesthetically imo

i can see why people don't like it though, gameplay is a lot different than usual

[silent lantern]

Wow

Just lost everything i did because i entered Expedition and exit it

[rare sedge]

I think the rot region is pretty cool

It’s just

Proto rot is painfully unfair

I do not enjoy proto rot

[tiny imp]

I don't like rot in general lmao

[neon loom]

i just treat it like spikes in mario maker kaizo

like if you touch the blue thing you die so don't touch the blue thing

ofc it doesn't help when gravity turns off in the middle of a jump

[honest ether]

The standard Mario Maker 1 ones or the fuck you hitbox literal pixel perfect ones from Mario Maker 2

[languid anchor]

playing as saint with jolly coop causes the rain timer to not show up
not sure if this issue is console only but :/
on switch

[radiant coral]

had that happen to me on switch but everything came back when i quit the game and went back in

[neon loom]

just the basic idea of "static thing kills you if you touch it"

[stark rock]

It makes it look like you’ve lost everything but then if you close the game it turns out fine

[long knoll]

They fixed the audio bug then it came back a day later

[silent lantern]

Idk if i did that correctly

Idk what to do

I think i just made it worse since i tried to download saved data

Now i cant get it back

Ive lost 500 hours

[stark rock]

Did you fully close and open the game after everything appeared wiped?

[silent lantern]

No. I let the game on fearing that if i closed it, the game would save the data and I wouldn’t be able to get everything back. I then went to sleep, putting the console into rest mode with the game open. Idk if i closed the game when going back in or if i closed the game and then downloaded the data

[stark rock]

Is this footage before you closed the game?

[silent lantern]

Yes

[stark rock]

What does it look like after closing the game?

[silent lantern]

Wdym

What it looks like?
