#Console Downpour Issues/Bugs (SWITCH AUDIO BUGS)

Is it still wiped after you closed and reopened the game?

silent lantern
#

I think so yeah

#

Do you want me to try it again?

stark rock
#

Could you send another video?

stark rock
#

Also I forgot to ask what platform are you on?

silent lantern
#

PS4

stark rock
#

Does PS4 have Cloudsaves?

silent lantern
#

Yes

stark rock
#

What is your most recent cloud save for rain world?

#

I don’t have a PS4 so I don’t really know how it works

silent lantern
#

There is a console storage and a cloud storage. The console storage is your save on the console and cloud storage is a space to put that stuff and download it when you want to

#

If you upload your console storage it will go to cloud storage

#

Idk if you understand that, im not good at english

stark rock
#

I think I get it?

#

Are there any save backups you can access?

#

I know that Switch has cloud-save Backups

radiant coral
#

there's also a way to back it up to a usb but thats only for ps4 games(idk what the cloud storage looks like or if it overwrites saves when you upload them)

silent lantern
stark rock
#

Would you be able to send a video of what the campaign menu looks like now?

silent lantern
stark rock
#

I mean if worst comes to worse there’s cheats in the MSC remix menu that lets you unlock all campaigns, safari regions, arena unlocks, etc etc

silent lantern
stark rock
#

It happened to me when I’d gotten every vanilla arena unlock when the remix patch dropped on console

silent lantern
#

I went as far to get all the unlocks like arena and even broadcasts

stark rock
#

Wiped everything I had on slot 1

stark rock
#

I haven’t gotten around to getting all the broadcasts but I made Moon read all the pearls I could access as Spearmaster

radiant coral
silent lantern
#

I have tried closing the game and reopening, didnt work. Now trying to reinstall it again

silent lantern
#

Theres no one available to contact

#

I think there is nothing i can do

radiant coral
#

is there a hidden way to activate dev tools like how you unlock inv, i'm losing my mind trying to go through ||vents||?

stark rock
#

At the very least nobody’s found one

#

It isn’t on the mod list at all so it’s safe to assume it prolly isn’t doable

radiant coral
#

i feel like if i were playing on my ps5 save instead of my switch, the amount of times i died in the past 2 hours of trying to get past ||vents|| it would 100% crash and corrupt my data

neon loom
#

It resets when you restart the game but not when you exit the campaign and play it

radiant coral
neon loom
honest ether
#

You can???

honest ether
#

I knew that touch worked for menu inputs. I didn't know it was literally just the mouse input lol.

neon loom
#

I like using it to place stuff in sandbox

honest ether
#

Ah right

#

I never tried that

radiant coral
#

omfg you can! i wish i could do this on my ps5 as well thomonksilly

honest ether
#

The controller input kind of sucks in that

#

Well none of the menus are good with controller

neon loom
#

Yeah touchscreen makes sanbox a lot more bearable

honest ether
#

So it's whatever

#

Oh there's some kind of weird half working touchscreen mode?

#

A touch button appeared to let me remove objects without pressing B using the stick cursor

#

But it doesn't appear anymore

rare sedge
#

Woah

#

A shame it’s not doable while switch is connected to tv

#

But that’s cool to know

radiant coral
#

i'm just flinging things into the sky rnhunterkek

radiant coral
#

the right joystick

honest ether
#

The joystick button

#

It should never ever be called L3 and R3 in an ingame prompt though

radiant coral
honest ether
#

I wouldn't expect it to support it. But there wouldn't be a reason for it not to.

Hey so.. i’m softlocked in my new Survivor file on Switch. I was originally playing jolly coop and thought it was a bug with that but, I got stuck on solo play too. I made it through the karma gate between industrial complex and garbage waste, but the game crashes when I enter the garbage waste. I’m too low karma to go back now, but when I try to go forward it crashes. I hoped it would be fixed in patch but still stuck 😞
Been waiting so long to play with my partner and it was going so well until then.

terse karma
#

If needed, in remix you can turn off karma gate requirements to allow you togo back and then turn them back on if wanted

strange mauve
#

Does anyone else have their expedition quests not show up? not sure if it's just me

terse karma
#

Everyone does except PS players because theynhave a patch that fixes it (technically not sure ab xbox but whatever)
But that patch might be pushed back because it causes data corruption due to having some sort of fail while saving occasionally

final crescent
#

Is there anything to do to fix this

granite elbow
chrome eagle
#

Okay

#

My save file just got corrupted

#

For the 2nd time

radiant coral
#

idk what happened but i somehow got riv to go side to side on this pole without any inputs from mehunterkek dont know if its really a bug or not but i find it to be funny

radiant coral
#

also how has anyone died to a ||mother long legs|| and it crashed and corrupted their data, it freezes my game besides me pausing it

final crescent
#

i keep getting massive frame drops

#

it makes the game unplayable

honest ether
final crescent
#

mainly in the ||outer expanse||

rare sedge
#

Has anybody had this glitch happen before lol

honest ether
#

??

#

Shaded Citadel overhaul

spawns have officially gone insane I just had a bunch of Yellow Lizards spawn here in LTTM as Spearmaster rivflabbergasted

radiant coral

lavish juniper
#

Almost lost all my data

#

see this is why I haven't been playing until the next update

honest ether
#

That's fair. Expedition is really not good in current patch so I'm waiting for that to be resolved.

faint zephyr
#

I have no idea how this happened

fresh cypress
#

RAIN

terse karma
#

NO THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO
except mine just said AIN

olive river
terse karma
#

Im doing an experiment in terms of the passaging to any place, as Monk I passaged to ||Rubicon|| with co-op and being Saint. Surprisingly it didn’t crash just upon passaging. Ive been debating whether trying to ||ascend|| would be idiotic or interesting, or a mixture of both. Either way, obv, this monk save is dead as could be, LOL-

radiant coral

RAIN

honest ether
#

Has there been any patches dropped for PS4 lately?

radiant coral
#

nope

honest ether
#

Hopefully they're just taking the time to make sure every major problem is fixed.

radiant coral
#

from all the data corruption post no one has sent a corrupted save so they can investigate it yet so idk hopefully

rare sedge
radiant coral
#

what in the actual hell happened?

rare sedge
#

I exited out of safari mode

radiant coral
#

i'm trying to remember a more buggy launch but the only ones to come to mind is fnaf sb and cyberpunk

radiant coral
#

cuz this is up there

rare sedge
radiant coral
opal flicker
#

I can't do quests

#

because there are none

faint zephyr
#

Usually you’d unlock then by leveling up but there’s a bug that prevents it

versed matrix
#

hey mates

#

I have to ask

#

where the bugs with downpour on console fixed?

#

my game crashed when I tried to enter a downpour region

#

and because of that I'm still afraid of playing with any downpour related slugcats and simply lose all my data

versed matrix
cunning stratus
#

same

#

no crashes here but lots of frame drops

oak fractal
#

I recognise them from datamining stuff

#

Looks like it's using the from texture files

versed matrix
keen dagger
#

Have all of the downpour day 1 gamebreaking bugs been fixed on switch, yet

#

Music issues, sfx issues, broken menus, map issues, crashes, crashes that corrupt everything, all of that nonsense

radiant coral
#

music yes, sfx dies after a bit, don't know what you mean by "broken menus" or "map issues", crashes sort of, crashes that corrupt you data wasn't a day one bug it's a more recent bug that came in the 1.9.11 patch

terse karma
#

Which isn’t on switch

short parrot
#

Still buggy, atleast safari mode doesn't crash for me anymore, and the music seems fixed

honest ether
#

Music and sound has been half fixed.

#

Waiting on Expedition gate crash to be fixed.

#

Idk if that was fixed in 1.9.11

#

But it affects Switch at current.

#

Wait nevermind I think it was Jolly Co-op causing the gate crash.

stark rock
#

Expedition’s fucky quests being blank bug got patched in 1.9.11

#

Which is nice

#

Unfortunately said patch still isn’t on switch even tho it’s been like 2 weeks

honest ether
#

3 weeks.

#

I did Monk's expedition and it gave points and marked as completed, am I locked out of the rewards that was supposed to unlock?

sand dock
#

Found another bug unless it was said but playstation is in a bad state still like i get froze in ||depths rot||, lizards falling into floor and even crashes. Please fix it its just unacceptable to not fully bug check a game your gonna port

drowsy owl
#

I’ve been gone for a bit and saw there was a new patch for playstation, did this fix a lot or is there still big bugs.

#

Oh damn I found one already rivflabbergasted

#

All my region data for survivor was deleted

#

Except for SC and shoreline

#

Oh maybe it’s just for msg though il check

#

Ok it isnt, regional map doesn’t work

#

It shows nothing

ruby pine
#

Input lag ;-;

languid anchor
tiny imp
#

Pretty sure switch doesn't have the update that fixes expeditions

#

Don't do any of the missions since they won't give anything once the update drops

#

You'll have to do them again if you did once the update comes

#

But for the quests, they'll be unlocked once you do one expedition after the update

scenic lark
#

I used a passage to go to shoreline as spearmaster and she is set in survivor timeline, and now i cant figure out how to leave shoreline or where to go if i end up leaving slugloafcry

terse karma
#

Spearmaster doesn’t have Shoreline. Spearmaster has ||Waterfront Facility.|| You have to attempt to get another passage, maybe leave to an unchanged region (shaded?) or restart the campaign

scenic lark
#

Yeah I'm just gonna have to delete 5 hours of gameplay, this version of the game needs some serious serious bug fixing

terse karma
radiant coral
radiant coral
#

cuz on the ps4/5 version it only showed what regions i been to as the scug(ex:rivulet like 7 cycles in can only passge to drainage systems, garbage waste,shoreline, and shaded citadel) thats how i'm basing the cant passage to an area u havent been to yet or it will be the wrong version

terse karma
#

Yeah ^^ so no ||garbage wastes|| or anything either for Spear or Arti because it’ll be wrong

radiant coral
#

well you can, just not before you hibernated/ been there at least once

terse karma
#

Yeah I meant to go WITH that sorry LOL

#

[switch] extremely low fps in challenge 56

sand dock
#

On switches jolly coop for survivor, the ||ascension|| ending seemed to move half as quickly for player 1. ||Swimming was slow, and the void worm pulled player 1 for seemingly way longer. The ending cutscene was also desynced from the music and crashed upon the musics completion, skipping the part where the tree shows up||

tiny imp
#

That's intended

#

Okay except the second half

sand dock
#

Are you sure? I’m a pretty experienced player and I’ve finished all 3 cats ||vanilla|| endings and none of them moved that slow. My player 1 was having a hard time getting past the ||void worms|| and I was having similar issues since the movement speed was way lower than when I finished survivor in single player

near atlas
#

do we know when switch patch will next be out

radiant coral
#

i just checked and it didnt update, also it might be a while before it does cuz of the data corruption that 1.9.11 brings with it so it might taken a week after 1.9.12 has been out on ps4/5 and xbox when they get it

white phoenix
#

nintendo is late on delivery monksilly

#

i wonder what the reason behind that politics, i mean when the devs are trusthworty why waste cycles and manpower for the checking validation slugshrug

faint zephyr
#

Better than getting the patch first and risking data loss

final crescent
#

i just wish the random crashes didnt bring down my karma when i boot the game back up

echo cosmos
#

Going from SU_A37 to SU_B04 while holding a singularity bomb as gourmand causes the game to crash (apparently it happens in other rooms as well but not all)

faint zephyr
#

Know bug I believe, it’s not exclusive to outskirts either

stark rock
#

I kept having random crashes occurring in Subterranean while doing Hunter campaign as Rivulet

#

First one was in the pit room

#

Others were in the random rooms in upper subterranean

radiant coral
stark rock
#

A particular creature isn’t spawning even tho I have met the conditions to spawn it

#

Namely, the ||Hunter long legs||

#

Has anyone had this issue?

radiant coral
#

the steps are: 1. perma die somewhere; 2. go to where you perma died as hunter as gourmand. that should be it so if its not working then idk

stark rock
#

I did that

#

I think something related to either co-op or remix has made the ||Hunter long legs|| not spawn

#

I was doing co-op as Rivulet

#

I messed with the remix menu

silent lantern
wintry rampart
#

Does anyone else have trouble with ending their hunter playthrough on switch? It literally crashes everytime my character comes into contact with the void fluid it's insane. I can't even ascend
(posting this here also in case anyone else is also experiencing this and if there's a solution to fixing it, I have jolly co op turned off btw)

drowsy owl
#

rain sounds not working correctly. I cant really name it specifically but i dont think the right ones are playing at the right time. Like, I'm seeing the rain but it's only making a rumbling sound.

gilded vessel
#

Ok random thing but like on ps5 when I stay in shaded signaled for like id say like 30 to 20 minutes

#

The game crashed

terse karma
#

||HLL|| is still not spawning for me unfortunately:( i justt wanna see it slugscrem

stark rock
#

You can increase the amount of cycles Hunter starts with and if it gets you a positive number you can continue playing Hunter

#

It’s what the issue was for me

terse karma
#

Yes

#

I turned off co-op before starting a new hunter save

#

I decreased Hunter’s cycles to 5 and I speedran to Industrial and died there

#

I’m not sure if decreasing would’ve messed with it though

#

Then as Gourmand I speedran to industrial and went to the place I permadied, and there was no ||karma flower nor HLL||

#

so it’s not just ||HLL|| not spawning the ||karma flower|| doesn’t either (idk if that needs to b spoiled 😭 i know the item itself prob doesnt but idk if its stilla spoiler for permadeath)

stark rock
#

Maybe you need to restart your gourmand file?

#

I Perma died, disabled co-op, and restarted gourmand and that got my ||HLL|| to spawn

#

I had it spawn in the Garbage Wastes/Shoreline scav toll

terse karma
#

It was a fresh Gourmand file

#

Idk maybe the room is the problem? It’s the one thats right of the room after leaving Chimney gate room

#

or perhaps the way I died? I died to a pink liz

stark rock
#

Did you start it after dying in Hunter?

#

Or before?

terse karma
#

After

stark rock
#

Huh

broken jay
#

Have they fixed so you get back your savefile on the switch? Have been waiting since launch and downloaded my backup until they fixed it

terse karma
#

I think you should be set. Data corruption doesn’t happen on switch and if yiu’re talking about during the initial release everything getting erased idek if there’s a fix for that so might as well since you have em backed up anyway

broken jay
#

Yeah, Im talking about the initial release on switch for the DLC. When I started the game everything was reseted, including the collectibles :/

terse karma
#

I don’t think they can fix that if it already happened unfortunately

honest ether
#

If you restored a backup then you could try it. It has had a couple patches released.

honest ether
honest ether
#

The reason why the screen changes is because I did the inputs for entering that pipe. The underlying physics don't seem effected by the freeze.

#

In this one I navigated down to the pipe in the water while frozen.

rare sedge
#

My switch has an update ready

#

Nevermind it was just an update to the switch itself

white phoenix
#

pranked monksilly

honest ether
#

It's been a month with nothing.

fresh cypress
#

are there any issues with inv on switch?

#

just checking because i have an urge

honest ether
#

Works from my experience. Singularity bombs can cause a crash when moving between rooms so I've heard.

fresh cypress
#

hmmm

lapis pewter
#

I am literally going crazy.
WHERE is this damn update!?
I just want to play expedition mode and unlock the game's banger soundtrack...
Wow, this data getting corrupted really is a hard problem to fix it seems like.

fresh cypress
#

it be like that sometimes

radiant coral
white phoenix
#

let me do it for you

faint zephyr
#

GIVE ME DOWNPOUR PATCH OR GIVE ME DEATH

honest ether
#

monksilly 🔨

onyx schooner
#

playing as the survivor on switch in industrial complex, no lizards, centipedes or other enemies are spawning

#

the only things ive seen are batflies, karma flowers, and ONE hazer

#

and blue berries

#

gonna go to shaded citadel to see if anythings there

lapis pewter
radiant coral
#

the rain timer doesnt show up if you play as saint in a jolly co op campaign

stark rock
#

I do wonder

#

Does it only happen if player 1 is Saint?

#

Or is it just if anyone at all is Saint?

terse karma
#

in my experience it’s only when Saint is the last alive if others arent playing Saint
Saint in general gets rid of the rain timer

stark rock
#

Is the color system on ps4 broken the same way it is on ps5?

#

Just curious

radiant coral
terse karma
#

That makes sense

radiant coral
#

so if like hunter is in the same room and takes the camera from saint it comes back, if saint takes it back with them in the room its still there, but if hunter is in a different room when saint takes it, it disappears, i think its caused by saint's is different then the rest cuz saint has snow so it would count down for the blizzard instead, if the slugcat still has their reputation tied to them why not saint's timer for snow for them

terse karma
#

Well saint doesn’t have a timer in general for the blizzard, the only time saint has a countdown is in ||Rubicon||, and for some reason it just transitions whenever saint has the camera or is the last scug or whatever
But the last sentence majorly confused me so im sorry if thats not what you were meaning? 😭 i do not know what you meant in those last words you put together

radiant coral
#

guess i missed remembered it then, also what i meant in the last sentence was like a slugcats reputation carries over with them(ex: if you play jolly co op on monk as artificer scavs will murk you on sight as apposed if you were gourmand even tho in monk's campaign you start with a high enough rep they wont do that) so if that can carry over maybe saint's timer might have

chrome eagle
#

Got my save file corrupted for the 3rd time lmfao

#

This time on an industrial complex expedition

#

Guess I'm not allowed to play then

rare sedge
terse karma
tiny imp
#

It's the same with Farm Arrays and Outskirts

onyx schooner
#

Same w me! Although shaded citadel, subterranean and (SPOILER REGION) ||Outer Expanse|| had the normal predators/fauna

#

Drainage system had no fauna though

echo cosmos
#

Saving in the leg with jolly co-op causes the game to crash

sand gorge
wintry rampart
#

Okay when is the next update

#

I know I might come off as impatient and I understand the amount of work devs go through to release patches, which is understandable, but it's definitely been over a month since the last one. The lack of communication with the console release of downpour and the amount of glitches and save datas that have been wiped is increasingly frustrating. Waiting for these updates while trying to get through the game, not in the fear of getting attacked by creatures or eaten, but by outside means like your game crashing or your save getting corrupted really sucks. My hunter run is literally soft locked at the very end of the game because I can't get through the void fluid without crashing. I just wish they were actually more transparent with us with what's going on

#

Woah really big paragraph but man

sand gorge
#

Mine crashed after the last frame of the cutscene and considered the run as over.

wintry rampart
#

Come in contact*

sand gorge
wintry rampart
#

I can show footage if you want but it'll take a while since my switch is under my house right now and getting through The Depths also takes a decent amount of time but I'm definitely sure it crashes everytime I get to the void fluid

lavish juniper
#

Again how they managed to mess it up upon release is beyond me that I'm wondering if there are playtesters or any tests at all

wintry rampart
neat tree
#

I can’t go out of gate rooms without my game crashing

radiant coral
#

u have jolly co op on, that caused it to crash by not using the gates

wet turret
#

can i like
actually play downpour now

#

im on switch

honest ether
#

Yeah for the most part

#

Don't keep Jolly Co-op on if you're not using it since it causes some crashes and other issues.

#

It isn't fully fixed but general gameplay in campaigns is fine.

rare sedge
versed matrix
#

hey

#

is the game good to go now?

rare sedge
#

Yes

versed matrix
#

thanks

sand dock
#

I have also the Ps5 version and it only shows the remix but not the rest

honest ether
#

Do you have the DLC downloaded?

open sage
#

Ok am having a bug when I use the karma gate at sky islands to chimney canopy it crashes I also have a vulture mask, pearl, and spear playing gourmand help

sand dock
honest ether
#

Did it ever mention it detected DLC when you launched the game?

sand dock
#

No

honest ether
#

The Downpour version says PS5 and the Rain World version says PS4. Maybe that has something to do with it?

sand dock
#

Oh no i have the 5 version

honest ether
#

And you're launching that one instead of the PS4 one?

sand dock
honest ether
#

That's really weird. I would maybe try redownloading the DLC or base game

sand dock
#

I did it the 3th time

honest ether
#

I haven't heard of this type of scenario on console before

#

The game version is clearly up to date since you have the Remix menu, but it doesn't detect your Downpour download.

sand dock
#

Me2 that's why I'm confused and struggling with it qwq

stark rock
sand dock
#

Both

honest ether
#

PS4/Xbox gotten a new patch lately?

radiant coral
#

nopemonksilly

honest ether
faint zephyr
#

Console players waiting 4 billion years for a patch only to get their save file corrupted once more

honest ether
#

I'm not even affected by the save corruption. I just want the latest fixes.

#

If the next patch comes out and it's only the save corruption then I'll be mega disappointed.

rare sedge
#

Hopefully soon

#

I wanna play expedition already and get rewards

radiant coral
lapis pewter
#

Bro, what about switch?
They're still behind everyone, and it's not because nintendo is slow at releasing them...
I NEED EXPEDITION MODE
Indeed, i don't even care anymore about the save file corruption.

#

Last update was before the big bang bruh.

#

We've been waiting for so long lizgreengrumpy.

white phoenix
#

true, hope they give more info when patches coming rivflabbergasted

lapis pewter
#

I know updates take long for console, but come on.
THAT LONG!?

rare sedge
#

I don’t mind waiting but yea having information regarding the patches would be nice

lapis pewter
#

I also don't mind waiting unless it keeps us from playing the full game.
(i mean expedition)
And also when it's buggy af with save corrupting crashes.

normal atlas
#

havent started other slugcats for this reason :/

final crescent
#

so apparently expeditions are just broken on switch

rare sedge
#

Mhm

pearl pebble
#

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but playing as a miros vulture in safari causes the game to crash after a while.

#

On switch btw

honest ether
#

I think it's when you leave the screen as a vulture

#

The next patch fixed that but Switch has stalled the update because of critical bugs

pearl pebble
#

Hopefully the update comes soon

#

Did it fix the music not playing too?

honest ether
#

Music plays automatically

#

Sound effects are still screwed

pearl pebble
#

oh

wintry rampart
#

They're doing a whole bunch of unnecessary amount of time keeping silent about console updates for some reason, I know this may seem irrational, but it genuinely makes me worried that they might not be working on patches anymore

honest ether
#

If I had to guess why it would take so long to fix data corruption then it would be them trying to replicate it, and then testing a fix afterwards for if it's properly effective.

#

Once they're confident it's fixed then they'll probably immediately push the patch.

lapis pewter
#

But that has also been taking an awful amount of time.

#

I'm not saying coding is easy or something, it's in fact not easy at all, but at least tell us SOMETHING about what's all going on.
Like seriously, it's been longer than a month, and there's still unplayable content on switch because of bugs...

rare sedge
#

Information would be very nice

honest ether
#

The bug fixing process is usually pretty mundane. And it's something you kind of can't always put a precise completion date on. They might just refrain from speaking on it because of the risk of promising something they might not be accurate.

lapis pewter
#

That's completely true, but there is always something to tell.
Whether it's just "We're working on it" or not, something would be nice.

wintry rampart
lapis pewter
#

Silksong also does this.
But the difference between Silksong and a rain world patch is that the former is an anticipated game, while the latter is just an update.
Being silent about a whole game, or a DLC that's popular, or anticipated has it's downsides, but generates extreme amounts of hype when a release date is announced, and is also an insanely good marketing choice when it works out.
Just keeping quiet about a patch is a whole different story.
Not only is there no real reason to not say anything for more than a month, but it makes people lose their hope real damn fast, and eventually move on (as long as they did everything else they wanted to do in the game).

#

I don't want to hate on the devs or anything like that, but releasing a DLC in a state like this and not saying anything after that is not a great move.

versed matrix
#

the only sad thing are the unlocks

#

yea i just stopped playing the ps5 version all together in fear of it and one of my friends is starting rw for the first time and i told them they need a usb to back up their save if they want to keep it

near atlas
#

Still no switch patch?

honest ether
#

Once PS4 gets a new patch then we'll have a set date on when Switch will be receiving it.

lapis pewter
#

So Xbox also hasn't been getting anything?
Because you say ps4.

#

Wonder if they'll fix the aspect ratio in the next patch

i stopped after finishing survivor and getting to the sky islands gate as hunter and that was when data corruptions started happening and i've been trying to get it to happen on the ps4 version apart from that i basically made no progress on ps

#

I havent downloaded downpour switch in fear of it erasing all my data 😔

neon loom
#

Btw there's no death gradient in precipice

#

And there is one where there shouldn't be in ||struts||

honest ether
#

My data wasn't erased

#

Plus also it's been a couple patches since the DP launch. They probably fixed that specific issue.

my game keeps crashing

i dont know if its just artificer ||maybe king scav mask?||

#

Is the safari even planned to be fixed or is it one of those things we just need to deal with

#

I'm glad they fixed the music

#

Safari mode was already mostly fixed

#

It’s just audio issues and game crashing if you fly offscreen as a vulture now

That was also fixed in latest patch, but Switch doesn't have it at the moment.

Being a rain world console player has never been a worser time, especially switch players

# rare sedge Meh I’ve enjoyed it heavily

I'm happy for you but the same can't really be applicable to me (had my save data corrupted, and now my hunter playthrough is locked in a constant crash state when I'm literally at the end of the run) or a majority in this channel

rare sedge
#

The data wiping some people have had is certainly an issue

wintry rampart
rare sedge
#

True

wintry rampart
#

I really don't like the fact that game breaking glitches outside of me or the game's control is making me view the game differently now and how I play it, that really shouldn't be happening in the first place at all

radiant coral
wintry rampart
radiant coral
#

did it give u the prompt that it got corrupted and how did it happen like what led up to it?

wintry rampart
#

So at that point my save might as well be thrown

#

Like loading screen when you boot up the game and image of whichever slugcat fades in next to the title

radiant coral
#

if u have nso maybe u can back it up from a older save, that is if you disabled auto-upload for rw only, also never heard of this happening

i hope 1.9.12's "general bugfixes" fixed data corruption

Hope it does

The aspect ratio still isn't fixed though

Awesome new patch

Surely the data corruption has been fixed now I assume

We’ve been blessed with an actual announcement for a patch monksilly

#

Still nothing for switch though

switch is always behind the others

but now that the other consoles have gotten a patch that means switch will be getting some too

that is if data corruption is gone still to early to know

rare sedge
#

surely it has

rare sedge
#

wait

#

what happens if switch updates to .11

will it have data corruption issues until it updates again

i'm sure they will just skip to .12 if data corruption is gone

I just downloaded downpour, and my save data is fine. However I would really like to keep it so should I avoid metropolis entirely? Or, does the data corruption glitch only wipe the selected save file, rather than all three

radiant coral

  1. it corrupts the save it was on. 2. data corruption can happen at anytime as any slugcat when the game auto saves aka dying or hibernating.; data corruption might have been fixed with 1.9.12 update but its still to early to know so i recommend having if your on playstation to have ps plus for if its the ps5 version, usb or plus for the ps4 version, switch you dont have to worry rn since its on 1.9.10 and data corruption came in 1.9.11, and idk what xbox has for backing up ur saves
rich geode

Thank you!!

also if its switch you have, get nso and disable auto backup save data for rw only, even tho switch is unaffected its good to take precautions all u would have to do is to remember to back it up

Waterfront facility seems to be the biome with the most lag for me
Today I started an expedition there and a king vulture made the game lag so hard it caused the game to crash and freeze the ps4

lapis pewter
#

This is literally so sad, i literally LOVED this game.
Like, i found it one of the best games ever.
And i was always waiting excited for the day downpour would come to consoles.
But after it came out, this game just didn't feel the same anymore.
And no, it's not all because of all the new content.
And, i would be lying if i said downpour was pretty bad on console, because i actually really loved it and found it okay for what it was as a port.
Though, after finishing it, and waiting for news, it finally hit me.
I stopped playing it about 2 months ago.
Everything i hear about this game now almost feels nostalgic, reminiscent of what it was before and after (in a good and bad way).
I really want to get back into this game, but i'm afraid.
Afraid that data will get corrupted, afraid that my map will not save or get deleted randomly and wipe out hours of work, afraid that one bug might break the game entirely.
And that's the sad part about all this...
I wish the best of luck to the devs.

Gourmand progress wiped for no reason 💀

Are the developers aware of the save file wipes and the lags that appeared after the most recent update?

radiant coral
#

save file wipes?

formal plinth
radiant coral
#

like how is it happening, is it data corruption or something else?

formal plinth
#

Some say that their data got corrupted and others say that their save file for some characters progression completely gets erased.

#

And also I noticed that in safari mode when you are controlling a creature (especially cyan lizards and caramel lizards) they fall through the ground. Not sure if this is a new bug or is a known issue for everyone.

its not new i had that happen before .12 but yay glad to know that rw on ps is still not safe to play onrivowo

tiny imp
#

I still don't know how the game went from a mostly fixed game to a broken mess

honest ether
#

I have a terrible feeling that Rain World may cease patch development and support because of what Unity is doing atm.

#

It wouldn't make sense to accept any new terms and take that vague flat fee per install just for console players.

#

Unless Unity backpedals hard then we're gonna start hearing devs basically forcibly being made to abandon projects and stop using the game engine.

radiant coral
#

what's unity doing?

honest ether
#

20 cent flat fee per install of a game using their engine

#

Your game could be free and use Unity

#

You as the publisher pay 20 cents per install anyway

#

Not even per purchase

#

The way it's worded makes it sound hella exploitable

radiant coral
#

sort of sounds like us the players would also fall under that to me

honest ether
#

Have to see if Rain World people make a statement. I think Unity wants to try and apply it retroactively, but I can't see it being legally enforceable unless the engine is still being used to work on a game.

#

If I had to guess then Unity might backpedal but then change it to a purchase fee scaling of the purchase price.

#

In which case stuff might just be slightly more expensive on average.

#

Which I'm sure would be a pain in the ass anyway, but at least not a significant liability for anyone who makes games in Unity.

radiant coral
#

maybe cr1tical, pyro, mutahar, or omni make a video on it about how scummy this is and make this more well know and hopefully they will backpedal

honest ether
#

People already are.

white phoenix
#

i think rain world isn't made with unity

#

they use Futile and use unity just as a rendering engine
the new rule might not apply for them? maybe? (atleast for rain world)

lapis pewter
#

If expedition and crashes are fixed, i'll hop back on in the game.
I was really excited for it, and it's still not playable...

#

Is the PC version stable too?
It's definitely more than console, but are there also annoying bugs there?
I've seen some pretty bad ones (including data wiping) in there with steam tags.

although most issues are from people using mods

lapis pewter
#

I guess they really are that busy with the console ports then.
I haven't seen many bug fixes for PC yet.

Is expedition fixed in the new patch

#

Doesn't really matter to me, I just started saint like a month after it released

Expedition was fixed in 1.9.11, so when 1.9.12 is out on all platforms then it'll be fixed.

welp i finally got a video about the unity thing in my subfeed and the ceo of unity is a greedy scumbag, the same ceo that said battlefield should charge $1 every time a player needs to reload their gun, and the faq is very vague; idk if they will backpedal but i hope they do

The changes are happening on the 1st of January, so that's at least better than no time i guess?

Almost no developers are going to convert their games. Stuff like Among Us can because it's relatively basic mechanics wise, and they already have all their assets.

#

We'll see by Tuesday if 1.9.12 was put up for verification for Switch, since it should be out by then.

lapis pewter
#

Yeah, changing it means building it back from the ground up, which might cause some features to differ.

honest ether
#

That's how Rain World itself was made earlier in development.

#

Doing that again but from a final product with DLC and everything is a different story however.

lapis pewter
#

Unity really is causing mayor inconsistencies...

honest ether
#

I doubt the Unity change will cause a profit deficit in Rain World's case. It's one of the more expensive indie games if I had to say.

#

Though it definitely breaks the incentive for putting it on sale.

I really hope the regional slugcat map problem will be fixed by then.
It should be, right?
It's directly linked to passaging to wrong regions, and that was fixed.

I think I'm lucky enough to not have as much issue with lag as other people do. Even then I'm quite used to it when it comes to games I've played, my main gripe is the sudden crashing of the game.

Mostly on the hunter run, and in garbage wastes. I can't continue with my run at all, as Everytime I try to got through a pipe from the region gate it crashes, and I have to restart the campaign only for it to keep doing the same thing afterwards.

is data corruption still happening?

lapis pewter
amber pecan

mainly because it's hard to tell where it's coming from

#

something not working right (e.g. lizards not biting or something) they'll have an idea of where to look (in the lizard code), but file corruption can't be pinned down easily

radiant coral
#

ain't it an issue with auto-saving, cuz majority of the time its when you die or hibernate and it fails the auto-save, so could they go into the code for saving the game (idk if it like that i know very little about coding)

it has officially been over 2 months since the devs have last patched the console release of rain world

this is, kind of really absurd no offense. I thought the release of the Google forms for reporting rain world save data corruption would help speed up the process but I guess it's still been pretty silent overall. I respect the devs and understand the amount of work that goes into console porting, but at this point I feel like most of these bugs in the console releases could've been easily preventable if they didn't release it so soon or just play tested more.

#

This is like the third time I came in here and criticized their way of handling the ungodly amount of bugs in the console release.

Never thought I'd still be coming in here months later still hoping for any sign of a significant patch on switch

We might get Silksong before RW becomes playable on Switch tbh

# keen dagger Never thought I'd still be coming in here months later still hoping for any sign...

its genuinely upsetting knowing that the switch update isn't behind because of Nintendo postponing the update but because of the developer's choice to just, not release it yet? again I'm sympathetic towards game development as a whole but with them putting the time aside to share news of rain world merch and live streaming on twitch its making me assume, just from I've seen now, that they've been slacking on the bug fixes instead.

Luckily vanilla rw has none of the bugs that dp has by turning them off on the remix menu so i can still enjoy the game until they fix the frame drop issues rivowo

#

Its literally the only issue i have had to deal with now after they fixed the sfx and music bugs at launch (i have no clue how tf i didn't get a single data corruption when i beated every slugcat rivflabbergasted)

tiny imp
#

Real

wraith dirge
# ebon phoenix The scav rep is also kinda buggy at times

i think the cause of that is because it uses the rep in that cat's campaign as the default rep in expedition but doesnt account for any rep changes done during the campaign so if you had 100 scav rep as gourm, gourm expeditions start with 100 scav rep

Damn, is there really no guess to when the update will drop on switch?
I mean, yeah, after fixing data corruption, but when is that!?

#

It's sad because rain world was extremely stable and without too many glitches before DP, but it's also not fun to have no DP...

I just had data corruption for the second time, hasn't happened in ages. It was more specific this time than just erasing everything, only expedition (which I was playing) was corrupted, all my campaigns were fine somehow! Luckily I kept backups on a USB too. Wish I could send the corrupt file to the devs to help out but I don't have a way to right now : (
I hope they can figure this out eventually

I was playing jolly co-op on ps5 and after we got through a karma gate, the game froze and i had to restart my ps5 manually. I don't know if that was a ps5 issue or a rw one.

im genuinely so tempted to just go, "screw it" and just @ one of the game devs

#

because seriously WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON OVER THERE that warrants over 3 months of waiting for console bug fixes, I'm genuinely curious and they still haven't given us (straight to our faces, or even directly) any reason why it is taking THIS LONG

they did go 5 years without fixing the glitch that prevented saving at a certain point so maybe they aren't self aware of it

# white phoenix Steamdb

Isn't that for the steam version for rain world then? And isn't steam only for pc, this looks significantly worse for them too since they're more focused on fixing bugs on pc than console--which is even more insane

plush cove
# white phoenix they still doing stuff

I've kinda resigned myself to just owning the broken dlc, and will have to quietly look forward to maybe being able to play it one day. Titanfall 2 will have to do in the meantime.

wintry rampart
#

At this point ive assumed that the devs haven't been working on the bugs and instead been focusing on something else, doesn't help that they also released a completely new trailer for a new game they're working on their YouTube. this honestly leaves a bitter feeling in my mouth, now I just wish I could refund the dlc at this point. If they're not going to fix it then I don't want a broken product ruining the base game that I originally enjoyed before downpour came out

#

ugh

#

this really, honestly sucks

faint zephyr
#

I wonder, if downpour hadn’t released on console yet, would it be in a better state?

oak fractal
#

Well yes

#

There's stuff already fixed

#

The question is whether it would have been in a good enough state to be launched by now

faint zephyr
#

I meant would it be better right now if it weren't released to the public until now, compared to the state of the game now.

#

Comparing a theoretical release date to right now, not the theoretical release and actual release

faint zephyr
oak fractal
#

They've definitely fixed stuff that could have been anyway if they postponed the console launch

#

So objectively it would have been better

#

But it clearly is not in a good enough state currently

Not sure if the MSC team is still working on the PC version, but IIRC the console ports are worked on by a different team. (Akupara Games)

#

It's pretty typical for these sorts of publisher deals. It just makes sense logistically. Well, on paper it does.

#

It can lead to scenarios like this though.

#

Where a port is released with a lower quality standard and with few communication.

#

If Videocult wanted to port it themselves then they'd need to get development hardware and software for each platform, and that doesn't come with familiarity and experience with porting processes for each environment.

rough oxide
# honest ether It can lead to scenarios like this though.

It's not the first time either, Rain World hasn't had a good time with porting in general.
It took over a year for the 1.5 update (Monk, Hunter, new creatures) to make its way to PS4, even though the game originally had a simultaneous launch on PC/PS4.
In that case, the original porting team (Warp Digital Entertainment) folded out of the blue and a new one had to be hired.
See James Primate's second reply in this old Steam thread:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/312520/discussions/0/1618346571420919201/

There's no mention of it in the announcement.

honest ether
#

Oh that's you.

No wonder you'd remember this post.

# honest ether Where a port is released with a lower quality standard and with few communicatio...

this would make sense--if other indie games originally released on pc and ported to console just fine wasn't a thing, like I certainly understand the reasoning, but rain world shouldn't be an exception to lower quality control porting (not saying that you are advocating for this in your post, but I'm just pointing out that quality ports of indie games exist out there and far outweigh the poor quality ones).

im checking in again to see if the save data corruption issue on ps4 has been fixed monksilly

Don't think so.

It'd be the first platform to get any new updates

question; on switch does expedition have a risk of data corruption or is that just the ps4 vers ? i know you don’t get your rewards cuz bugs but honestly i’m desperate to keep playing this game so i just wanna know if i can do expedition with no risk even if don’t get rewards

tiny imp
#

No risk

#

For Switch I'm sure

#

Once you get the update, doing one expedition mission should give you all the rewards you were supposed to unlock

#

But you'll have to redo the missions

willburd, one of the level designers for MSC, made several changes right after MSC released, and it took 3 months for those changes to get added

# tiny imp Publisher issue

wasn't the entire reason why videocult changed publishers was exactly because they didn't have control over when they released bugs and extremely delayed updates?

wintry rampart
#

if they're having these exact same troubles with another publisher then it seems more to be more of interpersonal problems rather than outside sources causing it

white phoenix
#

I don't think it's anything to do with the publisher, they wait until they've fixed everything before releasing a big patch, I think. I've already read devs saying that console manufacturers don't really like games that update too often, maybe that's why.

tiny imp
#

3 months sounds like enough for an update

sand dock
#

definitely the publisher

#

they took several months to tell people msc was a fan made mod

wintry rampart
#

honestly I'm just going to @ riv here and see how it goes because the lack of communication about bugs (again, this more than the third time they've done this) is just seriously getting annoying at this point

white phoenix
#

they said so and even made an official announcement on the steam page

wintry rampart
#

Like I don't care if it takes them more time to fix the bugs because I've stopped playing rain world in over a month I just want some news about the current progress so far

white phoenix
#

from a marketing point of view, it's not a good idea to mention it, it can make people wary of buying a product they might consider "amateurish" and what's more, deep down people don't care, they want to know about the additions, what the dlc brings and whether the dlc is good or not.

wintry rampart
white phoenix
#

Personally, I can understand why there's no mention of the fact that the dlc was made by fans everywhere.

wintry rampart
#

Not on the public steam page where everyone can see it but literally in a server where a majority of fans have already bought the game

wintry rampart

on the other hand, it would be nice to know the status of the next update, whether it's in the pipeline, how long before it arrives, etc.

#

I understand your impatience

wintry rampart
#

@lone willow can I ask how the current progress of bugs on console is going so far? I'm aware that one of rules is this server is to not @ important staff here, but the lack of communication about progress and long periods of silence has been frustrating as a rainworld fan who plays the console versions of this game. At this point, with so little news and updates given to the rainworld console verions i've assumed the worst outcome has happened which is something I don't want to think in the first place, any pieces of news and assurance would be nice. Thanks in advance if you end up responding

wintry rampart
wintry rampart
# white phoenix I understand your impatience

honestly at this point it isn't even impatience anymore, there's only so much I can try to rationalize the devs going radio silent on just bugs during this three month (almost four now) time period before I've given up. I really don't want to assume the worst, but I don't want to be a pushover fan either

We are working hard on the next patches for consoles. I don't have an exact timeline for the next patch as they have to pass submissions and stuff. Consoles are not as easy or as fast to apply patches as PC they have to pass submissions for consoles and each consoles has their own set of rules to pass. sainthappy

wintry rampart
# lone willow We are working hard on the next patches for consoles. I don't have an exact time...

thank you for responding and informing us further about the current status with bugs, if it's not too far to ask (since I understand some questions can't be answered if managed by contracts or other miscellaneous reasons) then can I also ask how come the first two relative updates for consoles were sent consistently correspondent back-to-back while the current console bug fix is taking longer than the last two ones? I'd like to know further about the details of the timeline, but it's understandable if it's a disclosed thing with staff

lone willow
#

So I don't think I can give an exact single answer. I will say that our focus over the last months was tackling in the console save corruption and trying to nail down the cause of that. Which is why I asked for community members to talk about if they ran into the issue to talk to fill out the google form last month. We have been working with that and focusing on the data sent from the community and working on developing a patch. sainthappy

mortal spoke
#

Ive filled the form when i lost my saves. Im not sure if this is the case for everyone, but for me the corruption happened when i died constantly in the same spot and made zero progress hunterthinking

Playing constantly for a few hours and dying in the same spot during it seemed to make the game realize i couldnt go to a negative karma

One as survivor in vanilla and another with spearmaster once i bought the dlc, both with similar situations

Idk if it helps

amber pecan

I'm on switch too

#

and while expo perks and burdens seem nice, I'd rather not have data corruption

ebon phoenix
#

I played on switch too, the most problematic regions in terms of lag are: outer expanse, subterranean, metropolis and waterfront complex. The most laggy from these for me is outer expanse lagging in like 80% of all rooms

ebon phoenix
faint zephyr
#

No, I’ve visited practically every room, but now that you mention it, OE was particularly laggy, but it wasn’t necessarily bad or unplayable

#

Except for the ||joke rifle in FP|| challenge. That is kind of painful to play, but it’s just a challenge so I’m not too bothered by it

tiny imp
#

And PS5

#

Also Subterranean is always laggy idk how

#

Even before Downpour it was like that

oak fractal
#

This might be due to people either playing on the OLED version or not

#

Or even an older version

honest ether
#

The OLED Switch? There is zero functional differences between the model variants.

oak fractal
#

The earlier versions still have a difference, no?

honest ether
#

None, basically.

#

Consoles are manufactured to run under set performance profiles.

#

So they don't have a performance difference unless specified otherwise.

oak fractal
#

No they definitely do, just searched it up

honest ether
#

Newer Switch consoles have a more efficient processor but it runs at the same clockspeed and just has better battery power.

honest ether
#

The updated processor has a higher range of clockspeeds, but none are used and software developers are only limited to the default options.

Frankly it's kind of hard to tell due to the nature of the slow movement pace of most creatures, and the static camera positions.
