#Console Downpour Issues/Bugs (SWITCH AUDIO BUGS)
1 messages · Page 5 of 1
Could you send another video?
Sure
Also I forgot to ask what platform are you on?
PS4
Does PS4 have Cloudsaves?
Yes
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
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
I think I get it?
Are there any save backups you can access?
I know that Switch has cloud-save Backups
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)
That would be the cloud storage, which has progress from 3 days ago, but i cant get it anymore since there is an option which auto uploads console storage to cloud storage and so i cant do that anymore
Would you be able to send a video of what the campaign menu looks like now?
Like someone who straight up just launched the game for the first time
Dang
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
Dude 500 hours into getting all of it legit
Yeah it still sucks tho
It happened to me when I’d gotten every vanilla arena unlock when the remix patch dropped on console
I went as far to get all the unlocks like arena and even broadcasts
Wiped everything I had on slot 1
Ooooof that suuucks
I haven’t gotten around to getting all the broadcasts but I made Moon read all the pearls I could access as Spearmaster
how many backup are you allowed to have on cloud storage?
I have tried closing the game and reopening, didnt work. Now trying to reinstall it again
I dont really understand this save stuff too well, i dont know…
Theres no one available to contact
I think there is nothing i can do
is there a hidden way to activate dev tools like how you unlock inv, i'm losing my mind trying to go through ||vents||?
I don’t think so
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
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
Found this really weird visiual bug where Rivulet's ||pokeball|| slowly gets more and more jank
It resets when you restart the game but not when you exit the campaign and play it
when i think about, they probably didnt add it cuz consoles dont have a mouse, even though they could still have it by having R3 to be the mouse when active, other games have done it before like chicory, fnaf sl/ucn, and oneshot
On switch you can actually drag around creatures in arena using touchscreen
You can???
omfg that is so great
I knew that touch worked for menu inputs. I didn't know it was literally just the mouse input lol.
I like using it to place stuff in sandbox
omfg you can! i wish i could do this on my ps5 as well tho
The controller input kind of sucks in that
Well none of the menus are good with controller
Yeah touchscreen makes sanbox a lot more bearable
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
Woah
A shame it’s not doable while switch is connected to tv
But that’s cool to know
i'm just flinging things into the sky rn
What the hell is R3
the right joystick
The joystick button
It should never ever be called L3 and R3 in an ingame prompt though
i wonder if i plug in a mouse to my ps5 if i could drag creatures in arena on there
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.
If needed, in remix you can turn off karma gate requirements to allow you togo back and then turn them back on if wanted
Does anyone else have their expedition quests not show up? not sure if it's just me
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
Is there anything to do to fix this
Yeah I've heard
idk what happened but i somehow got riv to go side to side on this pole without any inputs from me
dont know if its really a bug or not but i find it to be funny
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
On what platform?
That happens often
Has anybody had this glitch happen before lol
Is this in safari?
It happens to lots of players inculding me, I assume its because the switch can't handle as much data at once
spawns have officially gone insane I just had a bunch of Yellow Lizards spawn here in LTTM as Spearmaster 
on switch i only seen one as spearmaster and it done nothing but on ps4 on the ps5 as rivulet it happens a lot i cant even get the unlock for it cuz it freezes
Yes
Almost lost all my data
see this is why I haven't been playing until the next update
That's fair. Expedition is really not good in current patch so I'm waiting for that to be resolved.
I have no idea how this happened
RAIN
NO THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO
except mine just said AIN
RAIN WORLD RAIN
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-
R A I N
RAIN
Has there been any patches dropped for PS4 lately?
nope
Hopefully they're just taking the time to make sure every major problem is fixed.
from all the data corruption post no one has sent a corrupted save so they can investigate it yet so idk hopefully

what in the actual hell happened?
i'm trying to remember a more buggy launch but the only ones to come to mind is fnaf sb and cyberpunk
Riv otter has been trying.

cuz this is up there
It started when I went to pebbles and he was naked for some reason and then going into another screen did all of that
i have been trying to help by getting mine corrupted but mine is acting like is perfect
Usually you’d unlock then by leveling up but there’s a bug that prevents it
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
oh fuck I guess not
This and the couple others you've sent have sprite sheets appearing in the background
I recognise them from datamining stuff
Looks like it's using the from texture files
frame drops also happen a lot
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
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
Which isn’t on switch
Still buggy, atleast safari mode doesn't crash for me anymore, and the music seems fixed
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.
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
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?
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
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 
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
Input lag ;-;
dunno, but there is an option to reset expedition progress, so that would probably fix it if you are?
It's a bug
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
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 
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
I got a passage, would going to ||the exterrior|| be a bad idea?
Yeah I'm just gonna have to delete 5 hours of gameplay, this version of the game needs some serious serious bug fixing
The exterior is safe
For a list of future reference:
Spearmaster cannot passage to || Shoreline ||
Artificer cannot passage to || Shoreline ||
Rivulet cannot passage to || Five Pebbles ||
to add on to this, i think you cant passage to an area you havent been yet as that slugcat at least on the first playthrough, cuz it hasnt loaded it for that scug yet, like if you passage to exterior as rivulet before you go there or shaded citadel it might be survivor's version instead
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
Yeah ^^ so no ||garbage wastes|| or anything either for Spear or Arti because it’ll be wrong
well you can, just not before you hibernated/ been there at least once
Yeah I meant to go WITH that sorry LOL
[switch] extremely low fps in challenge 56
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||
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
do we know when switch patch will next be out
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
nintendo is late on delivery 
i wonder what the reason behind that politics, i mean when the devs are trusthworty why waste cycles and manpower for the checking validation 
Better than getting the patch first and risking data loss
i just wish the random crashes didnt bring down my karma when i boot the game back up
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)
Know bug I believe, it’s not exclusive to outskirts either
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

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?
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
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
Oh man i get so sad looking at these unlocks
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)
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.
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
||HLL|| is still not spawning for me unfortunately:( i justt wanna see it 
Have you tried turning off Co-op and then PermaDying?
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
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)
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
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
After
Huh
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
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
Yeah, Im talking about the initial release on switch for the DLC. When I started the game everything was reseted, including the collectibles :/
I don’t think they can fix that if it already happened unfortunately
If you restored a backup then you could try it. It has had a couple patches released.
I see what y'all mean about the MLL freeze.
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.
pranked 
Works from my experience. Singularity bombs can cause a crash when moving between rooms so I've heard.
hmmm
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.
it be like that sometimes

GIVE ME DOWNPOUR PATCH OR GIVE ME DEATH
🔨
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
I'll give you info about quasars, terraforming planets, and how to get rid of nuclear waste (and why it's a bad idea to shoot it into space)!
the rain timer doesnt show up if you play as saint in a jolly co op campaign
I do wonder
Does it only happen if player 1 is Saint?
Or is it just if anyone at all is Saint?
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
its when saint has control of the camera and no other scugs were in the room when they got it
That makes sense
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
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
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
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

Okay that makes sense yeah 😭 sorry lol
I've had that happen too
It's the same with Farm Arrays and Outskirts
Same w me! Although shaded citadel, subterranean and (SPOILER REGION) ||Outer Expanse|| had the normal predators/fauna
Drainage system had no fauna though
Saving in the leg with jolly co-op causes the game to crash
When it happened to me, it was because my friend was dead in memory crypt.
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
Wait, didn't it end your run?
Mine crashed after the last frame of the cutscene and considered the run as over.
I'm on switch and the moment I come intact with the void fluid to swim down it immediately crashes
Come in contact*
The only thing weird I had with the void fluid was the void worm that spawned on me right after the first screen.
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
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
I can't assume anything about the behind the scenes because game development is hard, but transitioning updates and dlc onto consoles and having it subsequently break your game when you buy it sure is something. There definitely needed to be more time, or at least quality control from the start
I can’t go out of gate rooms without my game crashing
u have jolly co op on, that caused it to crash by not using the gates
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.
Although expedition is still basically unplayable
Yes
thanks
I have also the Ps5 version and it only shows the remix but not the rest
Do you have the DLC downloaded?
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
Yes i have
Did it ever mention it detected DLC when you launched the game?
No
The Downpour version says PS5 and the Rain World version says PS4. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Oh no i have the 5 version
And you're launching that one instead of the PS4 one?
I tryed it with both Versions and both not working
That's really weird. I would maybe try redownloading the DLC or base game
I did it the 3th time

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.
Me2 that's why I'm confused and struggling with it qwq
Yes
You redownloaded the DLC? Or the base game?
Both
PS4/Xbox gotten a new patch lately?
nope

Console players waiting 4 billion years for a patch only to get their save file corrupted once more
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.
we'll probably get silksong before 1.19.12 patch gets released
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
.
true, hope they give more info when patches coming 
I know updates take long for console, but come on.
THAT LONG!?
I don’t mind waiting but yea having information regarding the patches would be nice
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.
havent started other slugcats for this reason :/
so apparently expeditions are just broken on switch
Mhm
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
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
oh
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
Rivotter of Akupara Games is still getting info on Console Downpour bugs and corrupted save files in these threads. They're still doing stuff.
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.
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...
Information would be very nice
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.
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.
I agree, just acknowledging that these issues exist and that they're working on it would be enough. Thats what I was referring to, however it seems like the devs are purposefully leaving us in the dark to ruminate on this? I'm not saying that they actually mean to do this, but inaction (or in this case, lack of communication) sure does speak volumes
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.
getting your files corrupted isn't that annoying
the only sad thing are the unlocks
it wouldn't be if there were a) versioning on PS5 cloud saves or b) backup to USB.
right now you'd have to turn off auto-backup and do it manually, which is annoying when you have multiple consoles to play on (is this the right save? or the other one?)
I had no backups when it happened
audio is so broken in arena
That's cool and all, but I hope you're not saying this as a universal fact for all players that get their save corrupted and just as an opinion
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
Still no switch patch?
Once PS4 gets a new patch then we'll have a set date on when Switch will be receiving it.
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 haven't seen anything about corruption on the base campaigns -- they could probably play those?
it happens when the game crashes when it auto saves so it can happen to any of them
xbox is at the same patch at ps, switch is the only one behind
I'm also not playing it, I don't want to speedrun unlocking the new slugcats again honestly
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 😔
Btw there's no death gradient in precipice
And there is one where there shouldn't be in ||struts||
I believe it was the Remix update that caused the initial data deletions. If you have NSO and a save backup then there's no harm in trying it.
My data wasn't erased
Plus also it's been a couple patches since the DP launch. They probably fixed that specific issue.
I can't disable player 2 on arena at all
Okay, I’ll see if I can figure out the save backup thing then and try it
Thanks
Try disabling co-op
coop is disabled
Make sure that the game and dlc are installed in the same place
?
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
Meh I’ve enjoyed it heavily
The bugs haven’t bothered me much
I’m really happy dp came out
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
Dp would've come out inevitably, it's just how they released it in this state is the most questionable part
True
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
naw i think ps and xbox players have it worse cuz of data corruption
Well I just had my switch data corrupted as well
did it give u the prompt that it got corrupted and how did it happen like what led up to it?
Artificer campaign, I was revisiting metropolis and then my game crashed and kicked me out, now I'm trying to get back in the game and every time it just crashes when the loading screen comes up
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
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
Someone tell me if you can fly to different rooms as a vulture now
i dont really see a problem with the aspect ratio it looks find to me
Without the game crashing
It wasn't small before Downpour so I don't see a reason why they would make it smaller
Switch patch is on the menu yeehaw
well so far its easier to go to a different room in safari
nope it still does
also i think the gourmand crashing is the singularity bomb crashing
We’ve been blessed with an actual announcement for a patch 
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
surely it has
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
||MLLs|| still freezes the game
No patch on Switch currently 
Switch is always behind the other consoles
Because Nintendo is slow at pushing out updates
Welp...
That's another 2 weeks of waiting.
I should be used to this by now, but to no avail.
10 days
What's wrong with the aspect ratio?
I don't notice any black bars or stretching
I’d suggest using the two weeks of waiting to get the metropolis pearls read by Moon as Survivor/Monk
Cause when the patch drops you won’t be able to passage to normally inaccessible regions
Otherwise the only way is by randomly spawning in metropolis in an expedition
You can get into metropolis through fp in expedition i thought
The game filled in the whole screen for me before Downpour but now there's black bars for me
What platform?
Help
My game keeps freezing
I’m in TR
and the game freezes
Except I can pause and exit the game
And effects like the ||MSR warping|| keep going
But nothing is moving
It happens at random
I need help cause the game is unplayable
And this was my plan for the entire day 😢
Because I have no life Rainworld is life
And it happened again );
Please help
PS4
I believe it's due to the mll creature based on previous reports
You can unlock them using cheats in remix menu
yeah, but you lose all your campaing progress
and it isn't as fun
Yippee
nice
Do vultures cause lag for anyone else? Whenever more than 1 vulture or a king vulture spawn it causes the game to lag a lot
It lags for me as well, and the game also lags whenever there's too many creatures on screen. The scavenger toll in Outskirts started lagging for me after the .12 update, as well other parts of different regions whenever there's a lot of creatures or vultures are present.
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
- 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
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
I completely forgot you can change the screen boundaries on Playstation and it literally solved my issue I'm so dumb
Was it at like 99% or something
I dunno
Is there anyway where someone could ask Riv Otter if they could make an announcement in the rw news channel when an update is out on switch?
Did the recent patch fix the crashing?
No clue why that’s happening, especially in farm arrays
My best recommendation is restart the game
Not sure why but sometimes now my fps tanks randomly
This has only been happening since the recent patch for me
It does this sometimes.
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
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.
yeah, after the downpour update everything was now 100% more laggy
Gourmand progress wiped for no reason 💀
This game is extremely broken I'm just gonna stop playing until they fix it lmao
Not a bad plan
Are the developers aware of the save file wipes and the lags that appeared after the most recent update?
save file wipes?
I read that some people are still getting their save files deleted even after the most recent update.
like how is it happening, is it data corruption or something else?
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 on
I still don't know how the game went from a mostly fixed game to a broken mess
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.
what's unity doing?
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
sort of sounds like us the players would also fall under that to me
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.
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
People already are.
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)
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.
there are but a lot of them are fixable i believe
although most issues are from people using mods
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
So hopefully by the time I finish saint the new patch will have happened
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
So many popular AAA games use unity that it's going to face a whole lot of lawsuits, it's pretty likely they will backpedal
like the ceo's point of view is
The changes are happening on the 1st of January, so that's at least better than no time i guess?
But yeah, this change is awful.
It's a 3 month heads up for people who have spent upwards of half a decade or more making their games.
I hope Unity will remove this fee...
What's it with these companies these days!?
Btw, are the Xbox and PS versions more stable now?
The lag is a bit annoying depending where you are and how many mobs are around you
By the way, is someome having trouble with the custom colors for vanilla game? Im trying to change the survivor colors and i only have black, white and red as options
MLLs still make the game freeze for Xbox and ps I think
yep, that was one of the first things i tested when 1.9.12 came out
I wonder how that happens
I never had any issues but I do get crazy lag sometimes when they're in the same room as I
I'm glad they're working more towards bug reports now, it took them awhile to say what they needed but I'm glad there's going to be some actual progress with all these console bugs
i bought it on the launch day and still working fine 🗣️
That message is from 2 months ago by the way
i know
Does anybody know when switch will get an update?
Or think they know? (i don't mean this in a bad way)
we assume it will get updated once the data corruption issues on the other consoles are fixed
Hey has the passage anywhere as any slugcat glitch gotten reported btw
I thought it was fixed though with the new update?
They said nothing on the patch notes, and recently put out a form you could fill out with information to do with the corruption.
just installed the update. was multiplayer fixed? can't tell. it's been awhile since i tried
Damn, i don't think the save corruption bug was fixed yet, which also means they might still not give the switch version an update until they've fixed it.
If you're on PS or Xbox, it should be gone
If you're on Switch, just wait a couple years
Switch is still not fixed?
im using a laptop and it just keeps crashing randomly
No, my guess is that they want to fix data corruption first.
Have confidence! 😤
yea just wait 5 years for them to move everything on unreal engine or anything that isnt unity then 3 years for them to fix data corruption on ps and xbox then 2 more years for the update to go to switch
Come on, have hope!
Unreal Engine 5.3 Lumen Nanite Rain World port.
I bet by January 2024, it has been fixed and ported to all consoles!
ray tracing 4k 120fps rainworld
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.
Yeah, changing it means building it back from the ground up, which might cause some features to differ.
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.
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.
the unity ceo is incredibly greedy so i wouldn't be surprised if he does something really shady to get more money out of everyone to where it would cause a profit deficit
i do wanna play expedition mode and get rewards
i just needa be patient for switch update
Yeah, same.
People say that it might come out on Tuesday.
I was playing a hunter challenge thingy and for some reason white lizards randomly get bugged out and become glowy
Lantern lizard
I don't want to be hopeless, but i don't think an update will arrive today...
Yeah I've seen nothing.
Me neither
Im going to be happy when expedition gets fixed

yeah, white lizards do that sometimes
man
why switch so behind on patches 
every week or two ill check back in here only to find out that switch is still on 1.9.10
i assume its because of the data corruption issues they dont want to update it
Salamander and eel lizard still bugged in water, audio still kinda messed up along with music
i just want to play expedition 
That was fixed in the last update for me, sucks if it didn't get fixed for you
It was fixed in 1.9.11
Switch is still on 1.9.10
Mine was though so idk
Since the last patch lizards just lag my game a ridiculous amount
So challenge 35 is almost impossible
As well as quite a few others
There is more lag with all creatures to an extent but lizards drop the game to such a low gram rate
Never had this issue on downpour release or without the dlc
Anyone else seeing this?
same but i dont have dp
alright after some attempts it’s not quite impossible, but each 2 minute attempt takes about 10 minute
im not gonna lie part of me questions if console was even playtested before release 
Judging by the bugs probably just wanted to push it out, then finish later.
Didn't bother trying the challenges as I can already tell they would be absolute lag fests.
on switch atleast
I’m on switch and never lagged in any of the challenges
Actually theres very little lag at all for me anywhere in the game
Really?
The low gravity lizard challenge definitely lags hard, and regions like ||Outer Expanse|| also lag in most parts (in my opinion).
OE gets to like 5fps depending on the circumstances
At least it did at launch.
Though I have no reason to believe it improved.
Gourmand had a lot of lag in general
Some areas just tanked performance
Sky Islands was also pretty bad
Switch player. Lag was fine for me mostly, exception being ||metropolis|| which was veery low fps the first few cycles but calmed down later, now it runs fine
But even before downpour, hunter subterranean lagged the same way. So idk
Indeed, in some other downpour regions too.
Everything's fine until you reach 1 room, and then it lags horribly.
What's even weirder is that the lag is literally just always in those rooms and sometimes just randomly elsewhere.
I've noticed the lag is heavily related to entities! Any large groups of creatures and the game struggles. This also makes it worse in larger rooms since there's more creatures at once. OE has many large rooms, sub with hunter-level spawns is also awful. The game usually goes back to normal in smaller rooms with not much going on!
Falling off of rain world while waiting for the bug fixes is honestly one of the worst feelings because I still want to like the game but the outside circumstances around everything has made me not pick up the game in over a month
im convined they didnt actually playtest switch, there is literally no way they could have missed all the audio issues otherwise
like
complete lack of music and messed up sound effects
All console platforms had those issues iirc.
It was just generally an unpolished release.
It’s been almost two months since last Nintendo switch patch…
It is kinda unfortunate
I just hope that they haven’t forgotten about us switch players
Honestly at this point I’d risk save data corruption if it just meant I could progress in expedition
Switch user
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.
Just some transparency, frankly. In the post saying an update was pushed to PS4/Xbox One just have a little,
*We will push a Switch patch at a later date after critical bugs have been resolved.
Rivulet crashes whenever you leave the drainage to garbage wastes karma gate
Did you hibernate in the gate den before attempting to then leave into Garbage Wastes?
If so then disabling Jolly Co-op should fix the issue.
OK I'll try it
uhhh
there’s a huge problem with my game rn
is rivuelts story just normal like you just ascend into the void sea
because fp is normal
Huh
idk what’s going on with my game 😭
ignore the low quality
I’m in the normal story mode btw
Oh yeah that's not supposed to be happening
First time I've seen that reported here
Did you passage to Five Pebbles?
If so, then that's the issue as he has a unique region by that time
I did. i was annoyed at losing my karma 😭
do I have to like restart my whole entire save now
If you haven’t sheltered yet
I just left 5P, went to wall, sheltered, went back in
And it was fine
If you did save
I reset my game
It might be too late

Dang
I’m so unlucky
Next time passage to underhang or the wall near one of the two gates
ah so i wasnt going crazy thinking i was hearing things when playing on the switch version.
we love the audio randomizer 🤡
I'm not sure if this counts as a bug but red centipedes and blue centipedes can't enter like 90% of the tunnel things in safari
Im about to lose my shit, i was doing the spearmaster route and my game just corrupted :))))))
I sent the form to the devs but oh my god im SO not happy with this
I really liked the game and i didnt mind putting up with the massive drop of fps mas losing all the data for a second time like this surely made me lose the hype for it, esp being this far in the history
I wish there was at least some way to unlock all the slugcats at once with the ps4, i dont think i have the energy to replay 4 routes again to get where i was
There is
Lemme find it rq
Yeah it's in MSC and Cheats submenu
There you can unlock all the slugcats and campaign completion + food quest unlocks
I was taking a look in the game before that, but i didnt see any option for it in the ps4, at least it wasnt obvious to me
You gotta press on MSC and there's a menu for it
Lemme just find out how to delete the corrupted save first, or else the game wont let me touch anything
Ok, i found it
Thank you so much, you are an angel :'/ i was losing it
I thought id be forced to replay all the stuff, though im still sad that i lost all the progress
Atleast there's a bandaid fix to it but honestly it's like wrapping up a rabid bite wound with a piece of writing paper
That is true, i loved to see the characters ending images in the menu
I had plans to revisit some characters to see what i could do with the finished story, but i guess i will just replay artificer when i get in the mood for
Because damn
This isnt the first time it crashes, but the last one i was using survivor
If it doesn't reset your collections, I recommend doing that considering the circumstances
I didnt get anything in the collection yet, i was first just doing the story to focus in the lore details
But now i unlocked everything out of spite to read, im just not gonna spoil myself on spearmaster and saints routes until i finish everything
Okie dokie
no switch update?
data corruption only occurs on the save slot that is being played on right? so if i was playing on slot 2 and my data corrupted it wouldnt affect slot 1 or 3?
I think so
is data corruption still happening?
Yeah, otherwise they wouldn't be asking to fill out a form to pin down this problem.
It seems like this is a tricky thing to fix.
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
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)
So does anyone else just find slugpups, and then even if you feed them, they disappear when you shelter?
Switch?
if you look at the map (with slug senses remix on) are they still in the shelter just out of bounds?
i've had this happen to me a few times and i've always either moved a few rooms over and let them clip back in or reset the cycle and it seems to work for me
Yes
They are simply gone, whenever I first find them I don’t even get to see their food pips, I don’t think it registers that I have found them, I also think it only happens to me when I’m doing hunter campaign
I know what you're talking about. Good news, the next patch will fix it. Bad news, don't know when that'll come. I'm assuming you're in Pipeyard when this happened as this happened to me twice
Your slugpups will be somewhere in the map when you spawn
Somewhere close
Hold on
If you're in Pipeyard and rested in S01, your pups should be in the rooms that are marked with some blue on it (A14, C02, A05, D01, B07)
These are mostly where I found them pre-patch on PS4
I GAVE UP AND WAS JUST GONNA KEEP GOING
I FOUND HIM ON THE WAY TO SUMP TUNNEL
THANK YOU
Oh I didn't know they'll go THAT far whoops but yeah good thing you found your child
Oh interesting.
I didn't know the glitch was them basically wrong warping to the incorrect room.
I thought they got outright deleted because their little food bars disappeared along with them.
Same, R.I.P the slugpup I found on hunter, I guess.
HEY ERM i was doing expedition then i perma died and restarted the expedition, but then i went out and my saves had disappeared, luckily when i closed it and opened it again they were back but is there any known reason why that happens? cuz i would like to avoid that happeneing again it gave me a fright
I don’t know what causes that to happen but it’s happened to me too before, mine happened when I left on the first cycle
i left in the first 30 secs after restarting cuz i was in farm arrays LMAO
I also had same thing, it just happens randomly when you interact with expedition menu
is it permanent ? or just a visual thing
like cuz i DO NOT wanna risk corrupting my data lol
Rejoining into story select menu fixes it
i see
Game prob just forgets to use safe file lol
If it’s 1.9.10 then very likely yes
It’s visual, I finished a experimental survivor file and then glitched experition, went imto the “new game” part, and it just loaded the save rather than restarting the game
Atleast that was the case for me when I tested it out on another file
Playing through all the challenges on switch, Stygian depths crashes the game a lot
so uh is data corruption really this hard to fix? I just want to play expedition 
I mean part of it may be that until recently they haven’t had the opportunity to look at people’s corrupted saves
So they couldn’t tell what was happening to said saves
oh ok fair
when was the switch edition of rw last updated :0
Months ago
Expedition does work, you just can't get the rewards.
Yeah
So you can do it and you'll get your rewards as soon as the new update drops
However, don't do the missions
You'll have to redo them when it drops
Wonder how that got passed playtesters
It seems like the game wasn’t playtested at all
Yeah, tell me about it...
All the obvious glitched stuff on release should have normally been seen IF the game was playtested.
still no patch for switch
nope
Man, I really want to play exploration mode...
u still can u just wont get any rewards i'm alright with this cuz i rather have no expedition rewards than data corruption
They need to fix the audio bug (again)
Are the devs aware of (on switch. ) if you throw a spear at a jellyfish your game crashes
And the room withh Miros birds in subterranean , if you take a video , it can crash your entire system.
Yes
I couldn’t find any previous posts regarding miros birds on switch, so probably not
Go ahead and make a report
Pov jellyfish gets payback for being killed/j
most powerful creature in the game
There's still performance issues on PS4. A few baby centipedes were in the same room as I and the frames dropped to 10 fps
Is there a way to deal with the frame drop? I tried to start saint and it was just impossible to do so
help i dreamt that the switch patch was out and i was so convinced it was out today 😭
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.
I definitely didn't expect that in October we would still have a disfunctional Expedition Mode and corrupted sfx.
On Switch, at least.
Though the fate of PS4 still sucks.
The scav rep is also kinda buggy at times
Sometimes you instantly get chieftain for no reason and sometimes you can’t get it at all
There's still weird audio bugs and performance issues on PS4/PS5 which is honestly kinda embarrassing considering my poopy laptop can run the game better
Their lack of communication is by far the worse offense
spaghetti code 
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
lol you wish
Agreed.
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.
It's not something I want to assume but this is from what I've seen and these actions (or more so inaction towards fixing bugs) speak louder than anything I've seen so far
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 
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
)
Real
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.
theres a google form u can fill out that might be able to help them
Oh yeah that form! I'll fill it out when I get a chance
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
Also I'm well aware that @ing one of the game devs can get me in trouble so I'm obviously not doing that, but if I'm self-aware enough to not do something obviously stupid--then I think the staff behind rain world should also be self-aware how increasingly bizarre it is to wait this long for big fixes right?
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
@lone willow done for you lol
there's no response on fixing the superstructure fuses as well
despite multiple threads on it
but in those 5 years there were significantly less people that worked on rain world than now, from my perspective, there really should be no excuse for the amount of inaction and lack of transparency that has been happening lately
I honestly salute you for @ing one of the devs, that's a lot of bravery, praying you don't get banned for this also tho. thanks for taking this, you're a real one 👍
Riv otter isnt a developer, but a community manager which is probably the appropriate person to ping
Paying any type of money for a package that's riddled with bugs is insanity
I know it hards to update stuff on console, but radio silence ain't the best way to go
I bought ps5 downpour on Saturday without knowing about the issues, I think I'm gonna ask for my money back.
You can't refund it because it Sony's policy
Rip to the slugpups I had when I decided to shelter in pipeyard
I'm guessing you've denned since then? It's actually possible to find them again afterwards the same cycle if you're lucky! But yeah pups and pipeyard do not mix. I'm a bit disappointed I'm currently unable to get the wanderer passage with pups around : (
Can I ask where you got this from?
Steamdb
these are dev depots for testing builds before publication
How do you know it's for console/all platforms?
i dont know, its a Intuition + the long awaited patch for switch 

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
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.
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
I wonder, if downpour hadn’t released on console yet, would it be in a better state?
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
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
That's what I meant as well
When you said this I thought you weren’t
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
I feel like the obvious answer would be yes, if it was actually given the proper time to actually be polished, perhaps there wouldn't be so many issues in the first place. However it's clear either waythat they rushed it out or somehow botched it along the way.
and yet 3 months after the dlc's initial launch there are still a lot of bugs left that need fixing that the devs seem to not have touched
it's so baffling to me that somehow paid dlc breaks an already stable enough game with even more glitches
True
I'm pretty sure videocult handles the PC version while akupara games handle the console versions.
To my knowledge, Videocult's involvement with this game ended in 2018, when they released the original Switch version/1.7 patch on console. (Monk/Hunter ending slides)
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)
I thought Akupara was just the publisher, if I could get some sort off source for this that would be pretty nice. And the game devs who worked on the console ports still need to fix the bugs anyways, and I'm pretty sure some of them are in this server right now
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.
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.

dont forget it took 5 years for them to fix the glitch that prevented saving at a certain point, so i wouldnt be surprised if it takes years to weed out the remaining bugs
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).
That is a huge yikes, I have no idea why this game has such a poor track record with updates or bug fixes (well I do after reading the link about one of the updates but still) but it still genuinely sucks having to wait so long for something I bought with my money to be fixed.
No offense but I don't think a glitch that prevents saving in the small portion of the pretty large base game is comparable to an entire mode not working in the game because of poor development and a rushed release date. oh and also the data corruptions for many players invested in the game-
ik i'm just saying it seems to take along time for themto fix a bug like that so i wouldnt be surprised if it takes a really long time for it to be fix and possibly no news of it getting fixed
you can anticipate now 
Spoiler for Saint but uh a weird thing that happens in expedition sometimes when it resets your data before it does it shows the saint exclusive area and I wonder why
the 2 frames per second universe
Yeah i've had that too on switch.
I'm not sure if this is a known issue already, but every time I control a Vulture, King Vulture, and Miros Vulture in safari mode, the game crashes when I fly offscreen. Is it just me or did it happened to you guys as well?
Yes I've noticed that too. I don't know if it's been mentioned before
hello
it has been a while
im checking in again to see if the save data corruption issue on ps4 has been fixed 
Don't think so.
It'd be the first platform to get any new updates
Looking out for 1.9.13 I believe.
alright thaank you! 
There has to be a way to properly get in contact with them
Maybe if we can, the progress will go by .01%
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
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
To my knowledge the update that fixed Expedition rewards on other platforms also introduced this data corruption problem, which is probably why the Switch update got postponed
rain world has a history of publishers not really allowing updates
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
how is the game on xbox btw ? i was scared of save corruption
so i stopped playing and did back on pc ( i also had one achievement bug with echo visit after FP)
sure its the same as playstation
maaan i want the expedition to get fixed),:
Maybe we should ping rivotter to see what the heck is going on
Rivotter is part of Akupara
And supposedly the community manager as well
isnt buddy the community manager
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?
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
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.
3 months sounds like enough for an update
it is
definitely the publisher
they took several months to tell people msc was a fan made mod
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
they said so and even made an official announcement on the steam page
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
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.
no offense but I mean make an announcement here. In the discord
Personally, I can understand why there's no mention of the fact that the dlc was made by fans everywhere.
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
Then again there's a thing called dev blogs on steams that almost always talk about progresses of current bugs and update seperate from the main page that I don't think the existence of would even hinder the marketability of a game? Your line of reasoning in my opinion, makes no sense.
I think you're confused, I was talking about the devs handling of bugs in this thread--this link seems to lead to more of a random rain world related thread if anything
oh i was talking about that message
they took several months to tell people msc was a fan made mod
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
@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
my mistake, didn't see the message above before you quoted it
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. 
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
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. 
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 
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
Are you working on a performance fix? In some locations (Shaded Citadel) the game is simply unplayable! I've been waiting for two months already to continue playing and writing an article about the game. 
Not just Shaded, just having hunted on is enough to make the game freak out
I honestly haven’t had many performance drops
What console are you guys on? I’m on switch
I'm on switch too
and while expo perks and burdens seem nice, I'd rather not have data corruption
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
The reason why you didn’t have performance issues might because you somehow avoided these laggy parts of the game.
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
It was more prevalent in the latest patch on PS4
And PS5
Also Subterranean is always laggy idk how
Even before Downpour it was like that
This might be due to people either playing on the OLED version or not
Or even an older version
The OLED Switch? There is zero functional differences between the model variants.
Ah mb
The earlier versions still have a difference, no?
None, basically.
Consoles are manufactured to run under set performance profiles.
So they don't have a performance difference unless specified otherwise.
No they definitely do, just searched it up
Newer Switch consoles have a more efficient processor but it runs at the same clockspeed and just has better battery power.
You may be looking at overclocking examples.
The updated processor has a higher range of clockspeeds, but none are used and software developers are only limited to the default options.
Hmm ok
has the game been patched yet
Lmao
trust me, they'll be a lot of rejoicing in this chat when that happens
I'm glad I'm playing on switch for once, it must suck not being able to play at all instead of only not being able to play expedition
PS4. Performance is very bad.
...endless wait for a patch 
i didnt had any issues performance yet on series s (only did survivor), but the console is very good in term of performance (wonder if its at 120fps) 
I wasn't worried about data being deleted. I'm more worried about the 1 frame per second I experience when playing the game
Do not let there be more than 5 batflies on screen
Batflies: the most powerful creature in rain world
Lantern mouses 
For some reason, lantern mice are affected by Hunted so they'll keep going in and out of the room you're in
30 on switch and old gen possible yes
but i doubt ps5/xsx/xss run the game at 30
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.
i think ive been encountering a bug
(arti soilers) ive been encountering this thing in expedition where when i get to ||the scav king room the mask isnt there||
resetting the cycle fixes it
but its still a bug, maybe
||unless a scav stole it lol||
could be that
never know with those guys
That can't happen
yeah i thought so
Is scav king mask even spawns as arti in expedition? I heard it only spawns there as slugcats that cant normally access that region
is there a fix for the audio issues
Nope
it does
Saint spoiler uh my game just glitched and killed me excuse me what
you can send the videos to your phone
