@steady topaz I installed visual studio and reboot my pc the game is working now. Thank you

echo geyser
#

i has an issue of consistently crashing on stage 4, didnt happen when i first got the game, but happens now, any one know how to fix this?

steady topaz
#

@echo geyser if it happens in 100% cases - likely game files corrupted. Run game files integrity check from steam.
If not - its a known bug, that should be fixed in 6 days. But it should happen on late game, and not on 4th stage. 🀷

Hey all, i am stuck at the early access disclaimer

#

I already tried to copy and paste the text info on my save file, change my timezone, repair the game, reinstall the game

#

nothing works

Looking for a way to change Artificer's jump to a toggle. Any way to do this, other than just playing the game on Switch?

Hey @steady topaz its already installed, both the 64 and 32bit

My mods aren’t working for some reason

Is there a fix for RoR1 crashes on mac

median steeple
#

hello recently i found out the reason why RoR2 is crashing and that the possible cause is its taking up to much memory or is well having a memory leak of some kind on my system and i seem to be the only one having this issue... not really sure what the problem is but after trying to rejoin my friends it will crash faster a few minutes later but then on the 3rd join back all i got was slowdown to a freeze. i know i should definitely meet system requirements but currently unsure if i just have faulty hardware or if its a extremely rare thing to happen i was running on the highest settings so that may have had something to do with it. i tried a reinstall it did not work

steady topaz
#

@hasty heron have you tryed installing vcs? Used mods before?

#

what's the point of asking and then leaving the server @wousa#3966

candid lake
#

I cant seem to play with other people,when choosing character mine doesn't load and its laggy ;_;

still topaz
#

Somethings weird, I played with a couple friends and at one point everyone except host was kicked

#

Later in another run it happened again but only to one dude and not everyone

young thunder
#

When Im in a run I will experience random crashes with no explanation, RoR2 is the only game I experience these issues and it is beyond me why I keep crashing. Any known solutions? No mods or anything

I can't seem to play multiplayer. I am fine to play singleplayer, but when I try multiplayer I am unable to select my character or ready up. After about 30 seconds of sitting in the "ready" screen I am kicked to the menu screen. I have tried reinstalling, verifying game files, turning off my firewall, having my friend invite me to a private match when my game is not open, and restarting my game and PC. Nothing seems to work and I've been unable to play multiplayer. My friend has gifted me the game a day or two ago, and multiplayer has not worked once. Is there a fix that I'm unaware of? Also, sorry if this is the wrong channel to ask this in.

wet light
#

did I ask my question in the wrong channel

tacit latch
#

There is a major problem with private games. I have a friend that cannot do anything in a lobby if i'm the leader and vice versa. He has the same problem in public games. I read a steam community post from @pallid ibex about problems but it didn't help. Any ideas?

@mighty rain Same, a lot of people seems to be experiencing this. I reinstalled and still did not work

normal tiger
#

so i just got the game about a week ago on steam and its always crashed in game and the more i try to play it crashes more often. iv reinstalled it, scanned for viruses and hand none, and also verify integrity of game and it all hasn't done any thing. also i bought another game at the same time that has crashed a like 5 times on start up but i have over 40 hours on that game so its not really a problem for the other game i got.

Anyone else having issues joining private matches? QP works fine internet all around fine just can't private game

@tacit latch dont ping devs. Its a steam issue.

Hello , Just got the game on switch with my friend. Whenever i try to connect to my friends lobby. It says that "unable to connect to other console"

#

How do i fix this issue?

bold spear
#

Seems like your playing on local

#

Try online

vital hemlock
#

Are the issues with the steam server fixed?

steady topaz
#

no for both issues. Load on steam and therefore big delays in lobbys - not fixed. (Unknown when) Steam server losing connection to host/clyents and everybody kicked to blackscreen - not fixed (will be on 31)

Greetings! soo i recently got Risk 2 but i'm having some problems with Micro Stutters... i posted the details on the game's steam discussions and i'm trying to find out if i'm the only one with this issue. Everything, including the specs are here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/632360/discussions/0/2147595112905264634/

Greetings, i just got Risk of Rain 2 but i find myself very distracted by some technical issues with the game. I've tried the lowest settings, the highest settings and in between, but the stutter still happens at the same time. Every 4-5 seconds the game has a very quick stutt...

#

Thanks in Advance DrizzleUwU

steady topaz
#

@jovial crown define "Micro Stutters" Fps drops, input lag, connection to host?
Enable steam fps counter and see if fps drops when you move your mouse. Try unpluging the mouse while playing, move around with kayboard and see if drops present.
If you have mouse that got its own software - update it.
Disable G-sinc. Disable V-sinc (from game and from nvidia control panel. Put "performance" in power settings

jovial crown
#

already tried all of those options. Including unplugging everything (including ethernet cable) and I still get stuttering.

I'm using MSI afterburner to check my Frame rate and Frame Time graph. and what I mean by micro stutter is the game stopping for a split second every 4-5 seconds. It's super slight but im very sensitive to stutters, distracts me a lot

steady topaz
#

fps counter drops?

jovial crown
#

this is a screenshot to showcase the spike in the frame time graph

#

not the FPS, because it's a super quick stutter

steady topaz
#

This must be garbage collection. What's your monitor frequrency?

jovial crown
#

165 Hz, although I've tried changing ingame and it didnt let me...so I quit the game and changed to 144hz on the Nvidia settings and then checked in game to see if it changed and it did... although the stutters continued

#

(165 not overclocked)

steady topaz
#

When you use v-sinc your game fps counter stays capped at 165 or no?

jovial crown
#

I think so, I did soo much testing I forgot. Will test that rn

#

V-Sync in-game correct?

steady topaz
#

And nvidia panel too

jovial crown
#

with G-Sync disabled?

steady topaz
#

yep

#

Idlike to get answer on my question before you do all of the above. See if intervals of stutters increased when you enabled v-sinc. Also check that its capped at 165fps

jovial crown
#

tested the V-Sync solution, it did cap the frame rate to my refresh rate ( i've set it at 144hz) but the stutters still continue as you can see in the graph

steady topaz
#

what about the intervals between stutters?

jovial crown
#

the hifher the frame rate, the more common the stutter is. Faster i should say

#

soo it goes from 4-5 seconds to 2-4 seconds

steady topaz
#

those are tottaly garbage collection

#

solution from rain mod should help you with that.

jovial crown
#

will try to mod. I did find the mod on google before but i had to make sure i could fix it with vanilla before jumping the gun

steady topaz
#

If you gonna use modmanager (1st link with video) its easy to install and equally easy to get rid of mods. Worth to try.

jovial crown
#

will run with it modded

steady topaz
#

yep

jovial crown
#

@steady topaz Thank you sooooo Much PagChomp it's working perfect now. Even with uncapped frame rate

#

does the mod pose any risks? as in crashes or something else?

steady topaz
#

When you using any mods that runs on BepinEXPack - you can not connect to quickplay and can not play prismatic trials.
^your version of game becomes "MOD" and its separate from vanila players. HOWEVER.. you can host for unmodded clyents if you install.. "unmodded clyents" mod
What about crashes and risks.. idk. I never used it. But the guy who made that mod continues to support it. If you gonna use modmanager - it will aoutomatically update it and frameworks needed for it.
There will be an update for the game (CU-content update) on march 31. So this mod might get broken. I dont know how it works, so i reccomed you to disable it for some time before CU and till the mod is updated too.

#

Btw.. say thanks to @magic stone !

#

Ah also.. you need to know that current relise of the game crashes on late stages. Its unrelated to mods and will be fixed on march 31.

jovial crown
#

I see. I Hope this issue gets fixed. As a new player, i almost quit the game because of it, i can't stand "stutterness". Hopefully the Dev Team is aware of it, I'll be on the lookout for updates. Thanks to you @steady topaz and @magic stone , now i can play,even if Solo. it's still Fun DrizzleUwU

steady topaz
#

You can find players in #lfg-pc-ror2. Also your friends still can connect to you if you use unmodded clyents. And you will be able to connect to those who have this mod installed too.

#

What about fixing it.. i dont know if devs are aware about that. You better to ask Harb or Rein about it. Both on this server.

magic stone
#

Devs are aware, but the way I addressed it with stutterstunter isn't foolproof enough to be a realistic solution for every single case (Which is what you need for something in vanilla) It is also a very very hardware dependent issue, most likely tied in to memory timings quite a bit. I have a rather beefy PC and still get them due to my ram not technically being compatible with my board.

#

That makes it quite difficult to pin down exactly what the root cause is.

steady topaz
#

I havent seen such issue reported here before. Its either unnoticable or rare. Good thing you got the solution done Rein.

magic stone
#

Yeah really really dependent on memory timings and whatnot.

vivid badge
#

hi all of you guys, i'm new here.
So i have one question, do you still get a free copy of the game for your friend if you buy it?

candid lake
#

Still have connection issues with multiplayer

storm locust
#

i alt tabbed out of the game to play another with a few friends, and now theres a black border on my game and the aspect ratio is screwed up, i've tried unistalling and reinstalling. is there a way to reset the game or fix this that anyone knows?

still topaz
#

Playing multiplayer with a friend who port forwarded and it crashed a while later, it usually never crashes

#

Anyone know what to do?

steady topaz
#

@storm locustShouldnt be a problem, just set resolution to other modes whiting the game settings. If for some reason it's not working for you:

Open config file with notepad C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Risk of Rain 2\Risk of Rain 2_Data\Config\config.cfg Search for 19 line resolution 1280x720x75;
Rplace for your monitor resolution and framerate.
Make shure line 6 is resolution_scale 1;
Or delete this file (make a backup 1st) and run the game. You will need to set settings again.

#

@still topaz i know, it was written here and there dozen times.
Game crashes on long runs because of physics engine failures. It will be adressed in this CU on march 31. Portforwarding does nothing with this.

still topaz
#

This was stage 3

#

Not even done the first loop

steady topaz
#

Crashed? not blackscreened?

still topaz
#

Straight up crashed

steady topaz
#

who was the host?

still topaz
#

My friend who lives a couple streets away

#

He usually hosts fine

steady topaz
#

so he crashed into errorscreen and you were booted out to main menu? Correct?

still topaz
#

I think so

storm locust
#

thanks so much goo. i got it fixed

steady topaz
#

Well then its most likely this physics bug. However there were reports of crashes even on 1st stage. @me if it happens frequrently, i got some ideas whats this might be then

still topaz
#

Aight, I think it might be addressed in the coming update

steady topaz
#

If you dont want to deal with crash and restarting all over again - use mod that lets you save the run and then continue it.

#

it will be - most likely

ruby bloom
#

(Not sure if this is the right channel) Does anybody know what's wrong? The game crashed. Was it just that it was too much for the engine to handle, or did something else happen? If it is the latter, what can I do to ensure it doesn't happen again in the future?

vestal needle
#

Hey just wanted to ask if falling trhough the map and having a 16 bit character is normal

tardy bramble
#

Ive been playing RoR2 all week with my friends and we go to play today and we cant connect to eachother. The host of the game can connect fine but my friends just get a black screen and then get kicked to the main menu. Same goes for if they host and invite everyone as well

steady topaz
#

@vestal needle Rip. Nothing that can help you with it. But the 8-bitisation looks nice.

upbeat remnant
#

My cursor is moving to the top right, I had this problem earlier but to the top left. All I had to do was update my driver's, but this time that didn't work because they were up to date

upper summit
#

so for some reason whenever i play i get incredible laggy and it just gets worse over time. like i cant move things freeze all that stuff. but its only with this game. is that on my end?

steady topaz
#

@upper summit if you're hosting - check your fps. If you're clyent - its steam servers beeing loaded.

#

@upbeat remnant uninstall vjoy

hasty heron

never used mods, did the paste over text file and still suck on early access

steady topaz
#

Increase graphical settings, there is lod based trees that could be turned completly invisible

bleak prism
#

alroght thank you. imma try that out

steady topaz
#

LOD Bias: Custom - turns trees invisible

bleak prism
#

yea it worked. that was quite simple lmao

#

thank you

orchid flame
#

use LOD medium or high, i suggest medium

So me and my friend are having the issue that the game will just randomly crash in situations where we dont even have any enemies on screen for example we just crashed in the bazar between time randomly any ideas on a fix?

uncut basalt
#

Hey, I'm having issues with my camera always pointing straight down. I followed the FAQ, uninstalled vjoy and restarted my pc. I'm playing on keyboard and mouse. Can anyone help me out?

steady topaz
#

@uncut basalt update mouse software if you have any. Unplug controllers.

uncut basalt
#

I have neither :/

#

I have a gamecube adapter in, I'll try that

#

Might just reinstall the gam

steady topaz
#

Not gonna work

uncut basalt
#

damn

#

I have Zadig, that's about it

steady topaz
#

unplug any kind of controller devices one by one to see what causes that. including keyboard and mouse.

#

Game have issues with software for controllers. Thats true

uncut basalt
#

Well I mean

#

I'm not gonna uninstall Zadig just to play RoR2 the couple of hours that I do

#

I'll just wait on it I guess

steady topaz
#

there will be update on march 31. it might solve this issue.

uncut basalt
#

I hope so

If I am running mods, does other players connecting to me need a modded client aswell?

It depends on the mods

To ensure maximum compatibility everyone should run the same setup

bold heath
#

A friend(sarcomastogovor in game) is trying to join my multiplayer lobby and whenever he does it shows him in top right menu of players but it doesn't say he connected and thus he can't ready up or change character. On the other hand if I join his game it shows us all in but we can't switch characters or ready up. Thanks for any reply :)

thank you @steady topaz will try

#

@mild ridge hey i just logged on today and all my stats have gone away all the characters i unlocked is gone i have 8 hours in the game and its gone now. Please help

mild ridge
#

@umbral reef have you tried the solution in the pinned messages?

umbral reef
#

@mild ridge Sorry im kinda new to discord where would that be

mild ridge
#

at the top of the discord window to the left of the search bar there's a pin (πŸ“Œ) icon

umbral reef
#

alight thank you so much

mild ridge
#

if it still doesn't work after that let me know

fringe coyote
#

hey i have a pretty good question
how the heck do i get rid of my cloud copy of ror1's save file
i wanna play the game fresh
and get my steam achievments
Ive deleted everything, reinstalled it, just deleted my save file, and have no idea what else to do

#

ik this channel is for ror2, but i dunno if i can still be helped

umbral reef
#

@mild ridge It didn't work

mild ridge
#

ok, open a windows explorer window and try finding your save file

#

the usual location is something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\(ACCOUNTNUMBER)\632360\remote\UserProfiles"

#

probably fastest to go to your steam\userdata\ folder and then let windows search find "UserProfiles"

umbral reef
#

I've tried that and it didn't work

mild ridge
#

is there nothing there?

#

is the UserProfiles folder there at least?

umbral reef
#

There is

mild ridge
#

is it empty?

umbral reef
#

No there is two XMl documents

mild ridge
#

ok, might be a good idea to back those up somewhere on your PC for the moment

#

at least they're still there

#

would you mind uploading the older/larger one here?

umbral reef
mild ridge
#

give me a moment to give this file a look

#

that's weird.. would you mind sending me the other one? this one looks like a fresh save file

umbral reef
#

and for this one i edited cause i was doing it told me to do in pin

mild ridge
#

😦

#

I'm sorry to say that it looks like these are both completely empty save files

umbral reef
#

yea they were both the same before i edited

mild ridge
#

I think we had an issue a while back where the first time you run the game the file might not save but I haven't heard about it again for a long while

#

was that eight hours in a single session?

umbral reef
#

yea i just bought the game and played it for 8 hours

#

yes it was

mild ridge
#

😬

#

yikes I'm really sorry but that save file is almost definitely toast then

#

it shouldn't have any further problems saving from now on though now that you've created a save file and closed the game

umbral reef
#

Dang thank you so much for helping the best you can

i am unable to play this game for more than 40 minutes as my game crashes, my gpu is running at 99% usage at all times with normal settings, even switching everything to lowest setting including 1/256 quality textures its running at 75% usage. I have a 1050ti and have tried all the things that other people have said to do: new graphics drivers, running steam in administrator mode. no matter what my game freezes at some random point far into the run when there is lots of stuff on screen it just crashes. any advice?

Anyone else having massive connection issues in multiplayer rn? as in actions can have multiple minute long delays and i can keep using my abilitys after im dead according to the server

Hey, my profile it's being read by the new update, is there any way to fix that?

I fixed the issue

Is there any info on the dedicated not letting people actually start the game after lobby?

sterile snow
#

You have a naming issue in regards to the profile reading/generation. They're different now apparently. I copied the file name for a dummy profile and applied it to my old profile's .xml, it reads now, but I'm unsure of any other effects outside of it being able to be read currently

#

@ebon agate what did you have to do to get your server working?

hoary robin
#

ok so im very new to this game (just baught it today)
and im having an issue that prevents me from enjoying the game in any way
around insane difficulty i get massive fps drops every 50 seconds or so
and when i say massive i mean i get about 4 frames per second for 5 to 10 seconds
this leads to first of all a headache and secondly i cant play the game, i cant know whats going on
anyone any ideas to sovle this?

orchid flame
#

why doesnt the multiplayer work? i just accept an invite and it brings me back to the menu

night tapir
#

aight so i reinstalled the game and validated my files still getting a black screen

#

same TudoR

#

it start black screens and closes

latent plaza
#

I can launch the game but all i get to see is either literally nothing (when launched in fullscreen) or the game winwow is completely white but movable (when launched in windowed mode).
When launching in windowed mode for the whitescreen I can still interact with the game and hear the sound, i can also make screenshots through steam and the screenshots actually show me the gamescreen.
This problem persists for me now for months even after a clean windows re-install and checking for most solutions i found on different google searches for this kind of problem (not necessarily for ror2 since the same problem also applies to other steam games and initialy also to blizzard launcher games such as wow and d3 but those are fixed long ago)

cloud zinc
#

i can see lobbies but i can never join a game or have anyone join mine

night tapir

yup

it sounds like the issues are server side

sound about right

#

@latent plaza have you tried pressing Lalt+Enter when in full screen

#

@dark portal do you have an AMD/Nvidia grapics card

#

ok cause i have an AMD and got the same problem as you so its not your graphics card type but have you tried updating your Graphics drivers

Heya guys! Hope you can help.
My friend and I have been playing RoR2 (maybe using dedicated server, I dunno the difference, tbh) until February-March and all was fine. But then at some point we just couldn't - whenever we start the game, the host is playing just fine, but the other one experiences massive lags, can't exit the capsule for half a minute, shots fly through enemies, everyone teleports around the map etc.
What did we do wrong? Did we brake something? Can we fix it somehow?
Appreciate any help!

I saw the notification for the new patch notes here in Discord, and I was about to click that channel when suddenly the RoR discord server disappeared from my Discord. As if I was kicked out. I restarted Discord to see if this was some bug but the server was still gone. And indeed, I was not a member anymore, and had to re-join from the link.

I wonder if any of the slew of joystick setting applications I have could be the issue then...

this game acts crazy when you have a controller in, im assuming virtual or otherwise

#

has anyone made any progress with dedicated serrver tool?

balmy marsh
#

I used to be able to solve the issue by binding all of the controls to a single axis and it would generally work, now I can't get to the settings menu so I'm at a dead end.

#

Though my old issue wasn't really the same as no KBM function at all past enter/esc

is anybody still having the problem where the game launches for 2 sec with a black screen and then closes?

Does anyone know how to fix the dedicated server going to a black screen after the lobby? Just tried a fresh reinstall of the dedicated server tools off of steam and setup the server.cfg file like the "dedicated server guide" on steam says and it just doesn't wanna work

Same for me with the dedicated server as well, same issues that everyone else seems to have as well. Tried a fresh install etc.

is there a way to get back in bounds if you fall out of bounds?

use a respawn console command

or leave the game and come back if you're not host.

Dedicated server fix

verbal spoke

I joined this discord just for this problem. Me and my friends have been playing Risk of Rain 2 for a while, without any problems. I took a long break from playing, and when I returned to play a run with my friends, I found that I could join thier lobby with relative ease, but when I get in, my character does not show up in the selection screen, while everyone else's does. When it does show up, it is incredibly late, and when i select other characters, it won't change aswell. I can't press anything like the Ready button, or difficulty settings. If I do end up readying after a minute or so after pressing the button, it eitehr stays as a black screen, or it shows everyone else landing in the game but me, and I seem to be limited to only spectator despite never even being in the game. When i tried hosting a game, everything ran fine, but all my friends had the same problem.

ruby vault
#

@verbal spoke yeah, same for me

verbal spoke
#

-I've restarted the game -I've restarting my computer -I verified integrity on steam -I've uninstalled and reinstalled -Ive reset my modem and router -I've got an entirely new modem and router

#

I have no idea what to do, so I came here in desperation

#

Also -I've tried playing on a differnet comupter (a laptop) -I've tried playing on the same laptop at a friend's house and it worked fine

#

@ruby vault Glad somebody else had this problem, after looking online I was starting to think I was the first

ruby vault
#

After browsing the internet, the only thing that at least somehow relates to me is trying to uninstall the XInput software

Dunno how would this correlate to anything of such problem, but.... you never know

Im not at all tech savvy so im not sure what that means, sorry

coral sinew
#

Hey folks, my cursor is showing up on my screen and I really would rather not restart this solo run, is there any way I can get rid of it without restarting my game?

ruby vault
#

@verbal spoke Basically, any program which does something with your gamepad (for example, I have ScpToolkit which emulates my PS3 controller as an XBOX 360 one). People say that such programs could screw with RoR

#

So people recommend to uninstall it

verbal spoke
#

Oh, I see. I only use keyboard and mouse do that wouldn't be a problem for me

urban viper
#

I've seen this mentioned a few times in other channels, but nothing recent...I'm getting some sort of input lag starting from the main menu. I move the mouse and it responds a second later. Any idea what's going on?

ebon agate
#

it happens to me when i have a controller plugged in

#

if i have my guitar hero controller plugged in while steam is open it goes sickomode

urban viper
#

It was happening before I plugged in my Xbox controller, and with it plugged in there's no discernable difference. Except that the controller also has input lag.

ebon agate
#

is your resolution set right and display set to 60hz

#

also update your gpu drivers and restart pc

urban viper
#

I just got the most recent Nvidia driver. Haven't restarted PC since that. I'll check the resolution.

#

Since the driver update, the cursor moves faster, although it's still a bit behind the input.

Hello! I've joined this server to help troubleshoot an issue for a dear acquaintance of mine. He has been getting the "EARLY_ACCESS_DISCLAIMER" glitch, preventing him from continuing to the main menu. While we are aware of the pinned post from last March addressing this issue, he has already tried (to no discernable avail) the method suggested in that message, in addition to:

Restarting his PC, reinstalling the game, deleting all his savefiles, deleting the game files and verifying, reinstalling all graphics drivers, reinstalling steam, and reinstalling the game on a different harddrive. The methods above that apply have been tried with steam cloud sync both on and off.

Having exhausted all of our ideas, I would greatly appreciate any knowledge or insights anyone has regarding this issue or other similar issues.

My friend and I want to play a private match together, so I invite him into a group and click "private game"

I get in perfectly, everything works, however he can't choose a character or press ready. After 20 seconds or so we both get kicked into the main menu again!

We've already tried restarting, verifying the game files and reinstalling, but nothing works!

Quickplay works just fine

i've the same problem as @gloomy swallow and @random musk i don't see the mouse but when i launch a game by just pressing enter i can play normally.

the only key that works for me is enter so i cant even get into a game

i can also enter with a controller but then have the problem that i constantly walk right

#

Yea my friend is experiencing the same thing with multiplayer

#

@timid arrow did you gift your friend the game or did you get gifted the game by any chance?

timid arrow
#

Nope we bought the game

#

Maybe it's because I have more Artefact than him? But that's weird because it does the same thing even if we deactivate all our Artefact :/

spiral hound
#

Well I don't think its the artefacts

#

I've been having this problem with the multiplayer with the friend for a solid half year now

@spiral hound Can you use private lobby? We cant use it.

spiral hound
#

We can get into a private lobby but as soon as we got to the character pick screen my screen goes black if he's the host and his goes black if I'm the host

#

this is the screen I get, I can't pick or lock and I get kicked to the main menu as soon as my friend goes into game

We can't use private lobby system. There isn't response with steam invite. Client can join lobby and see hosts name with lobby ID, but host can't see client's join message.

anyone else lagging super hard in multiplayer?

Only issue I get with multiplayer is that I can't properly connect to any of my friend's games and they can't join me. But if I join a game in progress as a spectator, it seems to work fine.

balmy jacinth
#

Having some trouble, wondered if someone could assist or if anyone else has the same issue with any fixes.

I can connect to a friend and said friend can connect to me.
However there is major delays for the non-host player (Monster lag, delays in skills, delays in exiting the pod at the start)
And the game is unplayable for us in multiplayer.

It works fine in Single player.

Any ideas? Or can I just put it down to early access? (It worked months ago when I last played).

frail wolf
#

I have the same problem as some others have stated. Multiplayer seems completely busted, in the sense that the host can play just fine, but other players have sagnificant delay when firing weapons/opening chests. Movement seemingly works just fine though, but we very unscientifically measured up to a 10 seconds delay when opening a chest. It seems to worsen a lot as the game goes on, being barely noticable in the first stage, but making the game completely unplayable by sixth stage. We played with the Command Artifact, but haven't tried without it.

I got framerate dips every time something appears for the first time on a map (enemy spawns, item drops, skills used etc)

is it a current problem with this patch where the game refuses to advance you to the next stage after the teleporter animation goes off?

#

i've had it happen on stage 1 and stage 23

ancient sphinx
#

as an additional info, i found that turning off multithreaded optimization (via nvidia panel) helps, but it eventually crashes the game

#

Sorry, I just saw yiou have alreadym been talking about it, so, anyone knows how to make the dedicated server work?

You need to wait for a patch to come through i'm guessing. Me and my friends have the same issue.

fervent imp
#

does anybody have the slightest idea whats causing all these multiplayer issues? me and y friends can only go as far as the multiplayer screen then all the other options just gray out when we try to join doesnt matter if its through private, or a dedicated server.

hey, I gifted my friend risk of rain 2 and he has a 1070 (1 step above my card), but the game wont fully utilise his cpu or gpu, any idea how to fix this?

#

we've tried power options and nvidia control panel but they didnt work

molten quarry
#

For some reason, whenever I try to start up the game, it comes up for a bit in a black screen and then closes itself. Anyone know why this is happening?

celest verge

@celest verge
They are, they were broken in the latest update. Look at the steam guide section for this game and there's an official guide by the devs

Hello is there a way to see your ping (ms) in lobby with a console command or something?

@pure crag open console with ``+ctrl+alt, execute pingcommand. it will returnrtt=9999` that's your ping in ms.

My character has started to go to digital 7 bit.

I want to mod some file names but I can't find the little artifact shell when you're in the hidden realm.

hardy ore

Hi whenever i try to play multiplayer the game will randomly kick me out saying the connection got cut for an unknown reason its getting really annoying i cant do runs with my friends and we were all looking forward to the update aswell if you know how to fix it pls let me know

twilit glade
#

all my friends cant connect to eachother in multiplayer anyone else getting this?

orchid flame
#

my game randomly crashes after playing this game for a bit, cant even get into an hour game. This started happeneing before acrid update and I quit till now hoping they would fix it. Does anyone have any ideas? my driver is up to date

cinder trench
#

any updates on unity crash?

orchid flame
#

is that is what is happening when your shit randomly crashes?

cinder trench
#

yeah, its happening for a friend whenever he plays multiplayer with people.

#

not much as far as diagnostics is offered. just the risk of rain logo with a red exclamation mark. seen people post about it in this channel but no definitive fixes thus far

orchid flame
#

mine doesnt do that, it just straight up closes

storm mist
#

i keep losing all progress losing all my unlockables including characters items. it getting insane that everytime i play and unluck stuff i lose it all

orchid flame
#

verify the intergrity of your files should fix it

storm mist
#

Didnt work everything is still gone

orchid flame
#

meant you have to do that, then start again

#

try unlocking something

cinder trench
#

did you tamper with the text files for unlocks?

storm mist
#

no

#

this is eomthing that ive had repeatedly after getting off and coming back to find all my stuff is gone and it asking for me to make a new account

gaunt forge
#

can the game not find the folder that has the accounts in it?

storm mist
#

ive checked the actual folder the account is just gone

#

like i never even started

orchid flame
#

unistall steam and the game

#

if resinatalling both does not work, have no clue

feral dawn
#

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I join a friends game or anyone in quick play and when we have to choose our character it shows me this UI, then kicks me from the game into the loading screen.. Didn't happen til today

subtle rune
#

anyone know how to fix this? can't use anything but enter

orchid flame
#

Hey, does anyone know why my game doesnt start? Im running Arch Linux, and changing proton versions does not help. It worked flawlessly on Pop!_OS before the update, but then i switched to Arch and the game updated and now it doesnt work.

#

Also, idk if it matters, but my WM is i3-gaps. I will try installing XFCE4 and see if it works on there

#

Yea, it does not work on XFCE4 either.

verbal spoke
#

I joined this discord just for this problem. Me and my friends have been playing Risk of Rain 2 for a while, without any problems. I took a long break from playing, and when I returned to play a run with my friends, I found that I could join thier lobby with relative ease, but when I get in, my character does not show up in the selection screen, while everyone else's does. When it does show up, it is incredibly late, and when i select other characters, it won't change aswell. I can't press anything like the Ready button, or difficulty settings. If I do end up readying after a minute or so after pressing the button, it eitehr stays as a black screen, or it shows everyone else landing in the game but me, and I seem to be limited to only spectator despite never even being in the game. When i tried hosting a game, everything ran fine, but all my friends had the same problem. -I've restarted the game -I've restarting my computer -I verified integrity on steam -I've uninstalled and reinstalled -Ive reset my modem and router -I've got an entirely new modem and router
I have no idea what to do, so I came here in desperation
Also -I've tried playing on a differnet comupter (a laptop) -I've tried playing on the same laptop at a friend's house and it worked fine

#

(Repost, as I didn't get any help last time I tried)

I know this is sad, but I have no idea how to vote in the character poll. What do I type? Where do I type it? Help!

Never mind, I figured it out...

nimble aspen
#

im having problems with dedicated server, only shows a black screen when starts the game

covert dome
#

@orchid flame Do you have it installed onto the hardrive arch is installed too? I had a problem with wine games that I had installed to a second hardrive where they wouldn't launch at all.

orchid flame
#

@covert dome Yes, i have it installed on the same drive

dull apex
#

This update started giving me consistent, really sharp frame drops for a few seconds, looking like CPU spikes and idk if it's my computer or just the game being funky.

hollow crystal
#

Just downloaded the update a little while ago, have never modified the game in any way since I originally installed it a few months ago. After the update, the game won't launch at all. The executable is running, I can see it in Task Manager, but the game window never opens. I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this.

#

Nope, same behavior. This is after a fresh restart, by the way.

hollow crystal
#

Huh. Disregard this. There was some stuck process. I killed it and rebooted again, and now I'm in the game. shrug

forest nacelle
#

Has anyone gotten the custom servers to run with the new update?

wraith dome
#

I was about to ask the same question @forest nacelle

#

I got mine running, you can join and select a character, but as soon as it launches it blackscreens. Any ideas?

low whale
#

Also are any of you guys able to just to a game with friends by joining through steam? cuz thats broken for me too

wraith dome
#

@low whale I have run several 4 man groups via steam and have friends playing together right now

low whale
#

every time i try to join them it either does nothing, black screens, or sends me to the multiplayer screen with no one there

wraith dome
#

try validating your files

#

I had a similar problem some time ago and that fixed it

low whale
#

what exactly is that and how would one go about doing that?

wraith dome
#

go to your steam library, right click on the game and go to properties

#

it'll bring up a window with the third tab listed as local files

#

second to last is the option to verify integrity of game files (run this while the game is closed)

#

afterwards I would try again and see what happens

low whale
#

will everyone have to do this or just one of us?

wraith dome
#

just the one having the problem

low whale
#

okay thank you!!

#

I really appreciate the help!

wraith dome
#

np, I hope it works!

orchid flame
#

Why does the main menu mouse seem really laggy ?

wraith dome
#

I think that's just you, mine's fine?

low whale
#

My main menu is fine too maybe check your graphic settings and make sure they're not too high for your pc

#

@orchid flame If that doesnt do anything restart the game

orchid flame
#

I’ve tried all the troubleshooting for it. I was just curious if it’s just a normal thing I guess.

#

Seems like Input lag

#

Game runs fine , it’s just the menu

wraith dome
#

@pallid ibex sorry to bother, if there is anyone I should ask in particular I would love to know, is there a known issue with dedicated servers right now?

pallid ibex
#

yes, there is - we're planning on pushing a fix specific to DDS sometime this week if things go well

wraith dome
#

okay, thanks a ton!

sturdy marten
#

@pallid ibex for some reason when i open my game, im unable to move my mouse at all. it stays locked to the center of the screen and i cant select anything. no gamepad plugged in

#

also for all my controls on the menu screen, it just says gamepad not bound

warm delta
#

@pallid ibex heya is the multi-player problem known and is worked on or it's just number of people who experience it.
We 3 friends bought the game yesterday but unable to play together due to lagging, switching between the hosts didn't help.
We'd like to try the game but if the issue is not fixable maybe we will just have to wait until better days and refund for now

orchid flame
#

I notice improvements in my mouse response when I change the resolution

#

No controller plugged in either

sturdy marten
#

but mine is just locked to the center of the screen. works perfectly when outside of the game but just violently jitters around in the center of the game screen

orchid flame
#

Is it on fullscreen mode?

sturdy marten
#

yep but it does the same thing on windowed too

verbal spoke
#

can anyone help me with my previously mentioned problem?

serene pier
#

I just bought this game last night and decided to play today. I played for about five hours and have done a shit ton of things but then suddenly our power decided to shit its pants and cut off for a second. When I booted the game once again, everything is back to zero. Is this normal?

verbal spoke
#

anyone?

serene pier
#

your problem is bizarre

verbal spoke
#

im starting to think my files are haunted

#

well, not really, but it seems that way lol

serene pier
#

it's gotta have something to do with your computer then if you're saying that it works fine on other hardware

verbal spoke
#

yeah, but I can't figure out what

#

originally I thought it was a peer-2-peer problem but peer-2-peer works on other games that use it

serene pier
#

does it work just fine in singleplayer?

verbal spoke
#

yup

#

also, I first had this probkem a long time ago, so im not sure if it worked on the laptop or not on my connection

#

i think it did, but my memory is hazy

serene pier
#

maybe you just started to have a bad connection with the game's server for some reason

#

and what you're experiencing is just the cause of high latency

rocky fable
#

Hi u have problems with lag ?

verbal spoke
#

I guess you could call it that, yeah

rocky fable
#

i try with a friends and its imposible play togheter

#

very laggy or just me?

verbal spoke
#

uh

#

kinda vague problem, could you elaborate?

ebon agate
#

yes, there is - we're planning on pushing a fix specific to DDS sometime this week if things go well

  • hopoo
    nice they gonna fix dedicated servers
sturdy marten

games fucked

distant escarp
#

Has anyone else had the issue with trying to play multiplayer and only getting a black screen before being booted to main menu?

lunar knoll
#

that happened to me once but it was fine right after

distant escarp
#

I have sadly not been able to play a single game with my friends since the update due to it

sturdy marten
#

@mild ridge to preface the issue ive uninstalled and re installed 3 or 4 times now and completely wiped all ror2 files from my computer and im still having an issue where before it brings me to the main menu at the profile selection screen i have full mouse control but after creating a new profile it completely disables all mouse controls. if i unplug my gamepad my game doesnt even register my keyboard at all. any help would be appreciated

mild ridge
#

@sturdy marten do you have vjoy installed?

sturdy marten
#

i do not

mild ridge
#

the gamecube controller thing

#

hmmmmm

sturdy marten
#

removing the user data folder and all didnt fix it

mild ridge
#

well that's the one issue I know of that can cause that. In the pinned messages of #ror2-bug-reports-pc there's a process for grabbing your output.log file

#

if you can upload that here I'll take a look and see if there's anything unusual

sturdy marten
mild ridge
#

The only startup error I'm seeing is showing an issue with your save file.

#

I'm also seeing it detect a gamepad. Did you have one plugged in last time you tried to start the game?

sturdy marten
#

i did but it did the same thing with no gamepad plugged in\

mild ridge
#

okay. the second pinned message in this channel has a process for finding your save file

#

please upload d5a74e4c-3412-45bc-a004-703ead9c2a3b.xml if you wouldn't mind

sturdy marten
#

well i deleted that aswell trying to get a clean install

#

this is my most recent install which still did the same thing

#

brand new save file

mild ridge
#

hmmmmmmmmm I'm not seeing anything unusual here :/

#

did this issue start happening after the update?

sturdy marten
#

im not sure exactly. i havent played for a while and all of my friends started playing again after the update. today is the first time ive opened it up in a few months

dull apex
#

the bot reaction system seems to have completely broken for me and I don't know why

mild ridge
#

@dull apex is this in regards to the survivor vote?

dull apex
#

Tried about four times so far, and I believe it was because I had the bot blocked from a different server, but I'm not sure why it's still doing it

mild ridge
#

it could be that the bot is down

torn hinge
#

since the update i''ve been having more stutters and pauses, am i alone in this or no? I know its not an fps promlem because i know its fine.

sturdy marten
#

well if you have the bot blocked then it wont be able to see your messages

dull apex
#

I don't any more

mild ridge
#

@sturdy marten and just to check on this particular possible cause one last time, you've never tried to get a gamecube controller working on this PC, right?

dull apex
torn hinge
#

is it becuasr they moved the came to a more up to date version of unity?

sturdy marten
#

i have not. ive scoured for vjoy and cant find it anywhere

#

so i dont believe it is on here

dull apex
#

I'll try leaving the discord and rejoining with it unblocked, back in a little bit. Maybe it couldn't register me...existing or something?

mild ridge
#

if you press ctrl+alt+~ ingame does a console window pop up at least?

torn hinge
#

the stutters can last up too barely a second and all the way up to 1.45 seconds

sturdy marten
#

yes it does open a console window

torn hinge
#

@sturdy marten do u have stutters and pauses as of the new update?

sturdy marten
#

no. i dont want to explain again so just scroll up and look what i posted

torn hinge
#

ah

#

lol

mild ridge
#

@sturdy marten that's a normal message. Try running the command remove_all_local_users in the console

sturdy marten
#

well it removed the saves but no dice on mouse control

mild ridge
#

based on that screenshot it looks like somehow something managed to unbind your menu controls but I don't even know how that could happen

sturdy marten
#

i wish i knew

#

but again after now like 6 full fresh installs i dont have it. are there any game files besides in appdata and the steam folders?

mild ridge
#

as far as I'm aware only in AppData\LocalLow\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2, steam\userdata\ and steamapps\common\Risk of Rain 2\

sturdy marten
#

yeah. ive deleted all of those and reinstalled

mild ridge
#

this is a long shot but I noticed in comparing the output.log you uploaded to the one from my own copy of the game I'm noticing that mine fails to find Xinput1_4.dll and uses Xinput1_3.dll

#

yours manages to find Xinput1_4.dll right away

#

I don't suppose you're using any input managers like joy2key or anything else like that?

#

or anything meant to inject into other games

sturdy marten
#

maybe auto hotkey but it doesnt inject. its not even open

mild ridge
#

ok. when you used the remove_all_user_profiles command, did it show a window like this?

sturdy marten
#

it did

mild ridge
#

could I get a screenshot of that?

sturdy marten
#

i also believe that @subtle rune had the same issue as me

mild ridge
#

does the game respond to you hitting the del key at this point?

sturdy marten
#

yes it does

mild ridge
#

are you able to delete the two profiles there and restart the game?

sturdy marten
#

yes

#

so i have mouse control while making the profile as i did before but as soon as i make a new profile. it does the same thing

mild ridge
#

ok. if you go to the UserProfiles folder like you did before, is there only one .xml file in there?

#

I'm wondering if there's some sorta ghost save file it's not fully detecting

#

584db4a0-9b6c-47ff-9e58-46fae60ad5e5.xml actually would be the specific file

sturdy marten
#

just one save

#

c4ad5134-4edc-4bbb-9da4-d47b3b986fd0 is the only one

mild ridge
#

ok. apologies this is taking so much troubleshooting to get through

#

this is a totally new issue as far as I can tell

sturdy marten
#

its alright. ive tried everything i can so anything helps

mild ridge
#

in looking at your main menu screenshot I am seeing that it looks like the menu controls are unbound but I'm also noticing one of the messages at the bottom right says "unknown" instead of "unbound" which is making me think maybe the game is picking up on a joystick/controller somehow

#

try checking Devices and Printers in the control panel to see if it's displaying any sort of device like that

sturdy marten
#

well i figured it out. i had my shifter for my racing sim plugged in and it was registering that

mild ridge
#

you can also search the control panel for "Set up USB game controllers" to make sure no devices are listed

#

oh

sturdy marten
#

thats such a weird issue

#

i appologize for making you go through all of this

mild ridge
#

no worries, if anyone else has the same problem in the future we know what to look for now

sturdy marten
#

to be specific, that is a thrustmaster th8a shifter

mild ridge
#

I'm sure @subtle rune would like to hear an update on this as well

sturdy marten
#

im glad it got figured out

mild ridge
#

we recently updated our UI to get rid of the cursor when a gamepad is being used for polish reasons when we didn't before which is making me think the issue always existed but was recently exposed

#

with it picking up on the shifter being a device that's actively providing input

sturdy marten
#

thats probably what the unknown input was

mild ridge
#

yeah

#

anyway, glad I could help

#

hope you enjoy the update!

sturdy marten
#

thank you

There is no solution. Steam simply can't read the ASCII.

hoary delta
#

I need help with mine too, I can't even get through the early_access_disclaimer, even tried using the methods in the pinned message wont budge too. Sorry for pinging ya @pallid ibex

pallid ibex
#

also could try -force-d3d10

hoary delta
#

In the command prompt?

pallid ibex
#

OK Soltrice, did it work before this update? Or did you just get the game

hoary delta
#

Just bought the game and it stuck with that

#

Tried using the save file method except my game doesnt have one at all

pallid ibex
#

Right. I assume you've tried reinstalling the game and restarting your computer?

hoary delta
#

yep, that too, won't budge either

vague oar
hoary delta
#

the only time it budge when it popped the unity loader and crashed the entire thing

jagged whale
#

i still need help my game wont launch

pure cargo
#

@pallid ibex Hi! Any news on the fact that a lot of us can't play multiplayer since it's extremly laggy?

pallid ibex
#

@vague oar OK yeah I think your GPU is melting

vague oar
#

Nooo why now ;_;

hoary delta
#

A friend of mine is also having problems with his game crashing on startup. So far I have had him:

  • uninstall the game
    -wipe the local files
    -deactivate his antivirus, reboot, reinstall

His game is not generating any crash.dmps. After the last re-install, the folders to find them have disappeared entirely.

Here is his last output log:

pallid ibex
#

@hoary delta could you try the launch options as well I suggested for lightagain?

hoary delta
#

using this right? -force-d3d10

jagged whale
#

this is what I get whenever i try to play and then it doesnt load

nova oar
jagged whale
#

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling

#

and then I've tried checking the integrity of files and still cant play

pallid ibex
#

@jagged whale did you post your output log anywhere, by chance?

hoary delta
jagged whale
#

whats an output log? and how do i find it?

pallid ibex
#

Check out the pinned thread here!

#

Also, if you could give this a shot:

#

BEFORE using this method, please make sure you're on the newest Graphics Driver for your GPU!

  1. Right click on 'Risk of Rain 2' on Steam -> Properties -> General -> 'Set Launch Options'

  2. Inside the field, type in:
    -force-d3d9
    It forces the game to run at DirectX9 instead of DirectX11 - ideally, a graphics driver update will let you run on DX11 since it's better.

Can someome please explain on why my game crashes every time i load the game

pallid ibex
#

can you also try what I just posted above @sullen turret ?

sullen turret
#

I have

#

it just opens the window in a black screen then crashes

pallid ibex
#

Do you mind posting your output log? It's pinned in the channel.

#

Have you also updated your graphics drivers recently?

sullen turret
#

i updated them last night but i had the problem before and after i updated

unreal edge
#

My friend had the same thing happen to him. White screen, black screen, then crash

pallid ibex
#

and forcing directX didn't do it? Hmm. Output logs and crash dumps would be very useful - its pinned in the channel how to get them.

hoary delta
sullen turret
#

you mean the xml in user profiles or ?

jagged whale
#

@pallid ibex i did what you said to do and still getting the same thing and still dont know how to see my output logs

young quartz
#

@hoary delta There's a second fix. Did you take a look at this?
PROBLEM I can't get past the first screen, and it says EARLY_ACCESS_DISCLAIMER.
FIX Please make sure that your Window System Clock's Timezone is NOT Invalid. If that does not fix it, please uninstall THEN reinstall VC++ 2015, shown here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

#

Oh, read up in chat

#

This is an ongoing conversation, huh

hoary delta
#

@young quartz I tried the second fix, but another problem arise as is it said I have the C++ installed but I dont even have it in my control panel

#

it says 2015, but the ones i have are 2010, 2013, 2017

young quartz
#

@jagged whale Your output logs are located at C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\LocalLow\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2\output_log.txt

jagged whale
#

do i just copy and paste?

young quartz
#

Drag and drop the log file into here. Copying and pasting isn't recommended, since it may be too large.

jagged whale
hoary delta
#

I deleted all of them, tried downloading the one that @young quartz suggested and...

young quartz
#

WHEE

hoary delta
#

it might be laggy but ill take it

#

thanks @young quartz and @pallid ibex

young quartz
#

Anyway, @jagged whale, your game is vomiting graphical errors. Let me look further into it.

jagged whale
#

ah yes very nice

pallid ibex
#

@jagged whale , so we're on the same page - the launch option thing didnt work, right?

jagged whale
#

@pallid ibex yes it did not work

pallid ibex
#

Ok, could you try this as well?

1.Right click Risk of Rain 2 -> Properties
2.Click 'Browse Local Files'
3.Go to 'Risk of Rain2_Data' -> Config
4.Open 'autoexec.cfg' with Notepad
5. Put in the line r_msaa 0;
6. Save and close

#

Sorry these steps are so complicated, we will streamline them if it turns out to be the issue

jagged whale
#

the only thing i can see that i can open is server_startup

pallid ibex
#

ah, OK - hold on

#

can you try putting that in the folder?

jagged whale
#

so just drag it into the folder?

pallid ibex
#

yep!

jagged whale
#

it says it could harm my computer do i click keep?

young quartz
#

Keep, it's fine.

jagged whale
#

just wanna make sure okay

pallid ibex
#

yes, its totally fine. its just a text document :)

young quartz
#

good on you for making sure though

jagged whale
#

alrighty

#

now what

pallid ibex
#

just try running the game!

young quartz
#

Let me ask something too, do you have issues only in Risk of Rain 2, or do you have frequent crashes in other games?

sullen turret
jagged whale
#

so far it has been 3 games that ive had problems with

young quartz
#

Rummzy, try restarting Steam.

jagged whale
#

also risk of rain did not work

young quartz
#

3 other games, huh?

vague oar
#

its not looking good matt

jagged whale
#

technically 2 others but 3 in totally including risk of rain 2

young quartz
#

Have you successfully played the game before the Artifact update (Released a couple of days ago)?

jagged whale
#

yes i have

pallid ibex
#

ah, OK - once you put that file in the folder, does the game launch now

jagged whale
#

@pallid ibex sadly it does not

pallid ibex
#

dang :/

sullen turret
#

Yeah same

#

ive uninstalled re instialled i was able to play i already got 2 artifiacts

#

now nada crashes as soon as i try and launch it

pallid ibex
#

oh, it worked before? We havent changed the game at all

young quartz
#

Rummzy, did you restart Steam?

pallid ibex
#

I assume you havent tried installing mods as well?

sullen turret
#

Nope no mods

jagged whale
#

nope no mods

sullen turret
#

and yes and it didnt wokr

#

didnt even know you could mod the game ngl

young quartz
#

Yeah, but it's not a good time to do so imo, especially post-update.

#

Anyway, your issue is giving a Steam error. It's not being too specific, so I can't advise much, but it's definitely something wrong with either the game or Steam itself.

sullen turret
#

bleh

young quartz
sage flame
#

Hey! i have a guestion about Ror2, can somebody help me out or give tips ?

young quartz
#

Go for it.

sage flame
#

So, i have been experiencing problems while trying to play with friends, game feels sluggish and cant be played at all by everyone else than host. this started happening after artifact update. any suggestions ?

pallid ibex
#

is your framerate low, or is it laggy, like latency?

sage flame
#

it feels like it would be lag/latency, but everything seems fine at host end ? as host i can clearly see things aint going well "proceeds to see friend flying to another universum in the distance"

jagged whale
#

is there anyway to fix my issue?

young quartz
#

Yeah, that's definitely latency.

#

I'm not sure. It's definitely a graphical issue, Matt. Is your GPU up to date?

jagged whale
#

yes i just updated it yesterday

sage flame
#

we have checked this with multiple friends, me and 2 others, if any one of us is host, its always same, host can play without any big issues "except seeing friends flying all the place", but anyone thats joined cant do almost anything

young quartz
#

@jagged whale Not sure what to advise. What have you tried? Restarting your computer?

jagged whale
#

i have not tried that lemme do that

unreal edge
#

@pallid ibex My friend tried the autoexec.cfg with no luck. The Hopoo folder is now missing from his appdata folder as well

shy cosmos
#

@sage flame We have the same issues with my friends, doesn't matter who the host is, the game laggs for everyone but the host, we didn't have any issues 2 days ago.

sage flame
#

@shy cosmos Thats exactly the same for us! happy to see that we are not only ones. well actually not happy but still :D

young quartz
#

I had similar issues the day before the Artifact update.

#

@unreal edge The Hopoo folder is missing?

unreal edge
#

Yes

young quartz
#

So C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\LocalLow\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2 isn't there?
