I could screenshare :O

mild ridge Apr 25, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

I'm guessing everything is working fine on your end?

cold summit Apr 25, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

cool. thanks for your time have a good day 🙂

frozen hemlock Apr 25, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

If you're interested I could show you my screen on my end? In a call with a stream?

mild ridge Apr 25, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

I'd prefer not do that if it's not necessary.

orchid flame Apr 25, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

hey @mild ridge you having a good day

mild ridge Apr 25, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

@orchid flame thank you, likewise

robust minnow Apr 25, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

Interisting thing is we didn't really manage to get the p2p info on the third guy unless one of us is the host, is that expected? all packets runs through the host then?

mild ridge Apr 25, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

@frozen hemlock try restarting steam or your PC first

#

if that doesn't work you'll need to make sure nobody in the group is using a VPN and that everyone has set up their firewalls to allow traffic for RoR2

#

@robust minnow are you sure the correct steam ID was being entered?

robust minnow Apr 25, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

yup, i switched to host and ran the command and it worked

frozen hemlock Apr 25, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

I mean thats fine if you are not comfy with that. Uh I checked that and firewall is alright :) so is for my friend. None of us is using VPN

robust minnow Apr 25, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

@robust minnow are you sure the correct steam ID was being entered?
@mild ridge just confirmed can only get p2p info on someone if they're host or I'm host (in that case I can check anyone)

mild ridge Apr 25, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

@robust minnow the host has a two-way connection with all clients, but no clients have a connection to each other

#

if that's what you mean

robust minnow Apr 25, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

Yup

#

Exactly what I mean

frozen hemlock Apr 25, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

IT WORKED! Thank youu :D So after restarting steam fully.

Thankk youuuuu so much! Thunk I was desperate! Now to gaming

orchid flame Apr 25, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

also @mild ridge is it normal that i was playing enji today and i was in the void feilds and got to 1 hp and got no good healing items but did not die

#

outside the safe area

mild ridge Apr 25, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

@robust minnow unfortunately this is starting to leave the realm of my expertise. I don't know a whole lot about internet routes and firewalls so I'm rurnning out of recommendations to make

cold summit Apr 25, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

is that not the same system that keeps you alive at 1 hp with the hellfire tincture?

mild ridge Apr 25, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

you could try making sure everyone also has a firewall exception for steam

#

@orchid flame I can't think of any reason why that would happen unless you were healing or you beat the last round

orchid flame Apr 25, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

no i was on the 7th round

#

the only good healing item i had was 1 fungus

robust minnow Apr 25, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

That's okay @mild ridge, I'm actually really glad for your help (really, you have no idea) but if the problem really is a connectivity issue I think there isn't really much you guys as the game devs can do, we already have some ideas as to what we can try to solve the issue on our end (hosting a dedicated server), anyways I'm really glad for your time, is there anything I can do to show my gratitude?

#

Like, for real, can I pay you a cup of coffee or something?

mild ridge Apr 25, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

nah man just enjoy the game

robust minnow Apr 25, 2020, 12:18 AM

Ghor god

@orchid flame what exactly do you mean?

so i keep getting this black screen halfway though runs then the game crashes, im not really sure whats causing this, it have to do with my internet connection cuz other programs such as discord also crash, which is weird because i normaly play singleplayer, this happening to anyone else?

hey there.. me and my friend cannot play multiplayer.. it's pretty annoying we tried everything except hamachi

So both of us have the game on steam, we have followed a tutorial to open the ports
TCP Ports: 27015-27030,27036-27037
UDP Ports: 4380,27000-27031,27036

We've disabled our firewalls... And when we join each other's game the host is connected to the character selection screen and the other player reaches that screen, but he cannot select a character nor click ready, nor it can see what the other player have selected 😦

steady topaz Apr 25, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

@static bear open ports 7777, 27015, 27016.
Game, Dedicated server, Steam
If you're useing routers - set it there, not only in windows. Check that Upnp on.
If it still doest work see my previous message for workaround.

static bear Apr 25, 2020, 9:22 AM

#

@steady topaz is there a way to verify if the ports are opened successfully? I've tried https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ but it says everything is closed..

Open Port Check Tool - Test Port Forwarding on Your Router

The port forwarding tester is a utility used to identify your external IP address and detect open ports on your connection. This tool is useful for finding out if your port forwarding is setup correctly or if your server applications are being blocked by a firewall.

steady topaz Apr 25, 2020, 9:37 AM

#

Hard to say, similar online site wasnt working for me at all.

There is that thing that providers doesnt always give you "white" ip and relay connections with "grey" ip to clyents. In case if you got "grey" ip it could not work at all. I had to contact my provider for that.

Internet full with guides on how to open ports or portforward it with routers. You need to search for your specific router.

What about checking - i know about 3 ways.
netstat -a command for cmd.exe shows ports that currently open in this pc.
programs like Advanced Port Scanner
And online services.

can anyone help me with my pc crashing at absolute random when playing ror2? i mean literally random, it happens whenever and there are no signs of lag or nothing before, i just crashed in the lobby and its stupid

#

and i updated my gpu driver to the recent update so thats not it

#

btw im playing modded, idk if it crashes in vanilla

balmy remnant Apr 25, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

Any idea how to fix horrible lag due mobile hotspot? other games are totally fine with >70 ping, but in ror2 its more like +2000

orchid flame Apr 25, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

the host sometimes have a bad internet so all other player have lag no matter how good your internet is, so if you think your internet got what it takes be the host

#

maybe turn down the graphics

balmy remnant Apr 25, 2020, 4:35 PM

Im hosting with good internet, but my friend spawns to the first stage when others are buying first items

Hi everyone i would love for help if you can. For some weird reason the game right at startup get around 7-12 fps which didn't happen before. I tried everything from reinstalling to update my driver! EVERYTHING and nothing works! anyone got any advice on what to do?

simple chasm Apr 25, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

my friend and i are having intense multiplayer issues. when im hosting the multiplayer party he loads into the game 30 secs to 1 min after it starts. likewise, when he is hosting the party i connect late.

slow spindle Apr 25, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

Is there a way to fix 60 fps lock ?

mild ridge Apr 25, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

@balmy remnant @simple chasm a lot of people have been having multiplayer issues due to VPNs or firewalls. make sure that everyone's firewalls are allowing traffic for ror2 and steam so you can connect directly and that nobody is using a VPN. if you can't make a direct connection to the host steam resorts to using relay servers which can add tons of delay.

#

@slow spindle there's an option in the menu to set your FPS limit.

#

it could also be vsync or your resolution option

#

@crisp lotus no plans at this time

#

@rustic apex some people have had the game switch over to their integrated graphics device instead of their dedicated GPU for some reason, usually after installing a new graphics card. would you mind uploading yout output_log.txt file?

@mild ridge,
Output Logs
While the game is running, it is continually writing to a file called output_log.txt. This file can help us get more information about the issue. If possible, please upload the file here. The file is usually located at:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\LocalLow\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2\output_log.txt

Crash Dumps
If the game crashes it will generate a Dump file. Similarly to output_log.txt, it can help us track down the source of the crash. Please upload your crash dumps here if possible. The file is usually located at either:

Im sure that my friend doesn't use VPN or firewall, as i was able to reproduce problem by tethering internet from phone.

@plush salmon have you already tried disabling vsync?

#

@pastel goblet I can take a look at your output_log.txt file to see if it's using your integrated graphics chip for some reason

#

Already tried with 3 different mouses and have the same issue

mild ridge Apr 26, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

@plush salmon the only other thing I can think of is when some users had a similar issue at launch with vjoy installed

#

have you ever tried to use gamecube controllers with your PC?

plush salmon Apr 26, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

No, i tried searching vjoy device

#

but i dont have it installed

mild ridge Apr 26, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

I don't know if it shows up under that name. If you've never tried to use a gamecube controller with your PC that would eliminate that case

plush salmon Apr 26, 2020, 1:09 AM

Also tried searching other names like that but no controller devices at all

#

Im gonna try rebooting my computer, brb

Still same issue

pastel goblet Apr 26, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

yes

mild ridge Apr 26, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

ok, so then I guess it's unlikely that the issue is your computer using the wrong graphics device

#

I'd suggest going into the options and making sure the resolution isn't larger than 1920x1080 and disabling UI antialiasing to see if that helps at all

pastel goblet Apr 26, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

im gonna try

#

my max resolution is 1920x1080 and the UI antialiasing is off

still the same, i guess its my computer

steady topaz Apr 26, 2020, 4:03 AM

@plush salmon Hi, i have an idea why it might happen to you.
You need to turn on fps counter from steam settings to see exact fps when you stay still in the game and when you move your mouse horizontaly. Is there any difference?

#

@mild shuttle have you tried restarting steam yet?

#

@slow spindle if your fps is unlimited and vsync is off it should be running as fast as it can

#

maybe your driver is forcing vsync or something?

#

@mild ridge is there a way to prevent it ?

steady topaz Apr 26, 2020, 1:09 PM

@raven bison i have no decent solution for this. It happens quete often if host downloads something along the game, or useing wi-fi.
There is also could be issues in steam servers and any connection middle poins like ISP having problems on a line.

raven bison Apr 26, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

Results show there's 0 packet loss on my end, I'm not downloading anything currently and I'm using Ethernet, If it was steam servers it wouldn't be only me I think and checked online if my ISP has any issues but there's none

#

I'm at a struggle

steady topaz Apr 26, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

@raven bison you were a clyent in this game, not the host. Host IS the server. Game is p2p, it have no centralised server and Host dirrectly connects to each clyent. Clyents are isolated and not connected to each other.

@orchid flame I don't know.

Hey so I joined this Discord today just to say that we've tried every possible fix for the Early Access Disclaimer continue button, my friend is on a Windows 7 eMachines and he can't progress beyond that screen. Here're the methods we tried

Verifying integrity of the cache
Uninstalling and reinstalling
Making a brand new fresh save file for him
Uninstalling and reinstalling VC++ 2015

The weirdest part was that when I told him to try to find if he had a save file, he told me that nothing for Risk of Rain 2 existed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata(ACCOUNTNUMBER)", no 632360 at all, despite the fact when you boot a game up for a few minutes, it gets added to your Steam's userdata folder

He's been trying to play for a year now, so I hope we can find a fix, otherwise he'll just have to get a new PC later at some point

mild ridge Apr 27, 2020, 12:45 AM

it's 100% the cause, I just looked at the log file and it's unable to load a library because VCR2015 isn't installed correctly or the wrong version is installed

#

if it says it failed to install because it's already installed it's actually important to uninstall it and reinstall it

@last flicker If when you reinstall vc 2015 back you get error during instalation - likely you need to uninstall 2019 one before installing 2015. You also need to reboot after that. If this not helping - try running registry analise and problem solving with "ccleaner", its free program.

@mild ridge,
This issue occurs when Windows is reporting a gamepad, joystick, or other input device providing a non-neutral input. This is usually caused by:

Having a gamepad, flight stick, HOTAS, pedal, racing wheel, or any other kind of non-keyboard/non-mouse input device plugged in. Simply unplug the device from your computer.
Having vjoy installed. If you've ever tried to use a GameCube controller with your PC, you probably have it installed. Opening your computer's Device Manager window should allow you to disable or uninstall it.

mild ridge Apr 27, 2020, 7:25 AM

#

@orchid flame ⬆️ look into this if you're getting the text [NO GAMEPAD BINDING] at the bottom right of your menu and you can't use the mouse or keyboard

#

@keen temple @rich gust restart steam and if that doesn't work make sure that everyone in the group has their firewalls configured to allow traffic for ror2 and steam and that nobody is using a VPN

#

@meager basin @west spire we don't officially support mods. you'd be better off asking in the thunderstore discord

Hi, I'm trying to run the game on sandboxie on a multiseat pc setup with 2 different steam accounts each with their own ror2 copy, but when I run the sandboxed one the game just hangs on an initial black screen

#

I'm wondering if ror2 is trying to access other files outside the steamapp folders to manage stuff, maybe that's the reason it hangs when it doesn't find them in the sandbox memory

any ideas?

@last flicker I suggest that your friend tries going through a google search of visual C++ 2015 redistributable 0x80240017 to see if there's any troubleshooting for that issue that might help. The game uses that redistributable so there's not really a workaround, he's just gotta try to find a way to get it installed.

mild ridge Apr 27, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

So to explain the issue, AkSoundEngine.dll is the Wwise sound engine, which is responsible for handling our game audio. If VCR2015 isn't installed correctly windows won't recognize AkSoundEngine.dll as a usable DLL so when our game asks windows to load it for us and it doesn't the game can't continue loading any further. As long as the output log is still mentioning that it can't load AkSoundEngine.dll it means that something is wrong with the VCR2015 installation

#

@torn hinge for connection issues, try having everyone in your group restart steam. if that still doesn't work, make sure everyone has their firewalls set up to allow traffic for ror2 and steam and also make sure nobody in the group is on a VPN

torn hinge Apr 27, 2020, 10:14 PM

how do i checjk my fire wall?

last flicker Apr 27, 2020, 10:14 PM

so basically... it's like AkSoundEngine.dll is being treated as an unusable DLL or that it just doesn't exist?

mild ridge Apr 27, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

exactly

last flicker Apr 27, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

and you can't just get a new AkSoundEngine.dll to fix it, I'm guessing

mild ridge Apr 27, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

as far as I'm aware, no. the .dll itself is fine

last flicker Apr 27, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

I see

mild ridge Apr 27, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

whenever this issue comes up in tech support it's always been fixed by installing/resinstalling VCR2015 so this seems like an unusual case if that's not helping

last flicker Apr 27, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

so it just means that for whatever reason, there's like a 'phantom VCR2015' in his computer that refuses to uninstall completely, so that when he does reinstall, it acts as if it already exists, and the AkSoundEngine.dll doesn't install completely... or whatever

#

it's pretty baffling

mild ridge Apr 27, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

maybe? He could try restarting after he uninstalls it and then make sure he downloads the installer from the link we provide here in this channel

#

in case maybe he's somehow getting a different version

Hm, question for the dev, does SteamAPI_Init produce a reason for failure or does it just return false? As far as I'm aware, the API has enum values for these connection errors.

the original implementation of SteamAPI_Init returns false for a number of reasons, but by far the most common one is not being able to locate the client

#

I have managed to start the game sandboxed from a sandboxed steam client, but it somehow only works when there's also a non-sandboxed steam client initialized with the same account on the same session

#

so it seems that it's the steam client that has problems initializing some resource while sandboxed, rather than the game

just for clarity this has nothing to do with the discussion on top, was just a quick update on a previous question I asked here

young quartz Apr 28, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

ahhhhhhhhh

mild ridge Apr 28, 2020, 12:44 AM

I saw that too but I noticed that it eventually resolves

young quartz Apr 28, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

RI = Raw Input, seems generally unrelated to the main issue, but still an interesting one. If I had to guess, it's detecting input devices that it doesn't like, and moving down the list.

#

also, funny thing, i decided to clone the facepunch implementation:

echo goblet Apr 28, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

ok this is weird, I left the game just running on the black screen it was stuck on the background and it just booted after a while

#

without a non-sandboxed steam running

#

I will test it again just to make sure I didn't actually do anything else while it was on the background

mild ridge Apr 28, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

maybe there's competition over disk resources?

echo goblet Apr 28, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

could be sandboxie limiting that somehow

#

yep it just starts after a while

Hey so me and my friend are having issues connecting to each other, when we try to connect to each other it just says on one person's side that they are connected to the lobby but on the host's side they aren't and if they try to enter a private game then the game on the non-hosts side black screens and kicks back to lobby, we have have tried verifying, reinstalling, restarting our computers, etc. anyone know any potential other fixes?

have also tried deleting every trace of it on my computer and reinstalling

@raw canyon there's a file called output_log.txt that logs some debug info and gets reset every time you start the game. If you haven't restarted the game since experiencing this issue I could take a look and see if there's anything that stands out.

@mild ridge,
If you are unable to fully connect to another player try restarting Steam. This should fully close any Steam connections that might still be open with open with any other players, which can cause the game to fail to open a new connection. If this doesn't work, make sure everyone in the group has configured their firewalls to allow traffic for RoR2 and Steam and that nobody in the group is using a VPN.

what keyboard you using?

raw canyon Apr 28, 2020, 7:15 PM

Im using a steampunk lite mechanical keyboard but an update the game is working now but the only thing I did different was between now and my last attempt I opened the lockdown browser to take a test which closed all steam related programs

#

and the first thing I do is open an equipment chest and it gives me recycler hell yea

mild ridge Apr 28, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

so the issue is that the browser was open?

raw canyon Apr 28, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

no the problem went away once I opened the browser which closed everything steam related which is the only reason I can think that it was fixed

mild ridge Apr 28, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

I'm surprised that doesn't force the game to close since the game runs through steam

tacit gyro Apr 28, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

no im pretty sure it does he just openend it inbetween tries and that closed everything steam related he probably had some other game still running or a broken steam service

raw canyon Apr 28, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

the game wasnt open

tacit gyro Apr 28, 2020, 7:22 PM

Something to do with desync

#

Also, yes i have mods installed. This happened before i ever had mods installed and is the same whether or not i currently have mods installed.

#

I've tried reinstalling, clearing caches, deleting user data, restarting comp, using different internets, disabling firewall

forest cosmos Apr 28, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

It could be a problem with my internet connection, NPM and random webpages keep stalling

mild ridge Apr 28, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

@forest cosmos so far what I've figured is that this particular issue occurs when there's a desync due to differing content between host and client (ie mods) or when a connection is established but no data can be sent. In the case of the latter, firewalls seem to be responsible.

forest cosmos Apr 28, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

Hmmm, I'll try making sure my friend and I have all mods uninstalled and disable my firewall and see if it works

@mild ridge,

If you are using mods, your mods are likely out of date. Uninstall your mods and try starting the game again.
If you have never used mods, the issue is fixed by installing Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015. Download the installer here and choose x64 if prompted to choose between x64 and x86. If the installation fails with the message "0x80070666 - Another version of this product is already installed." please uninstall Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 (and 2017 if you have it) and try reinstalling it.

@mild ridge,
This issue occurs when Windows is reporting a gamepad, joystick, or other input device providing a non-neutral input. This is usually caused by:

Having a gamepad, flight stick, HOTAS, pedal, racing wheel, or any other kind of non-keyboard/non-mouse input device plugged in. Simply unplug the device from your computer.
Having vjoy installed. If you've ever tried to use a GameCube controller with your PC, you probably have it installed. Opening your computer's Device Manager window should allow you to disable or uninstall it.

?latency

plush treeBOT Apr 29, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

@mild ridge,
Risk of Rain 2 uses Steam P2P networking. While this allows for easier connections without the need to forward ports, certain conditions can still cause problems. If Steam cannot establish a direct connection between you and another player it will resort to using a relay server to deliver your traffic and this can often add delay. If you are experiencing more than a second of latency it's very likely that your traffic is having to go through a relay server instead of directly between you and the other player. Make sure nobody in the group is using a VPN and that all players have their firewalls set to allow traffic for both Risk of Rain 2 and Steam.

My friend and I wanted to play together. He has not played the game since release basicly and now he started the game and after 15-20 seconds his cursor just dissapears and his system cursor gets locked in the center of his screen. It also happens as soon as he selects a different menu tab (like options, singleplayer or multiplayer) He has no controllers pluged in and also does not have Vjoy enabled. I am waiting for him to send me the latest output log I will include it once he can send it.

#

PS he first tried to verify the local files. then removed his settings folder and re-verified it. and after that didn't work he re-installed the game but it still doesn't work

sorry the pic is kinda garbage , it would instantly crash

mild ridge May 1, 2020, 2:42 AM

@shadow dawn try turning off the steam overlay and making sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. if that doesn't work, make sure your motherboard BIOS are up-to-date and that your RAM isn't overclocked or being overclocked by some sort of gaming perfomance manager software

#

those are the main causes of crashes we're aware of

i dont use overlay , everything is up to date and idk how to overclock and never have afaik, im gonna try again now

hope it works !

The bug: When I join character creation, I can see the characters available but I can't pick any of them. I don't have any timer (it's stuck to 0:00). My friends are not seeing me connected in the lobby, but I see them connected. I can't chat either.

I tried:
Reinstalling the game, Relaunching my PC/steam, empyting the cache (it seemed to have worked once in quickplay just after emptying the cache but I'm not sure), verifying game files, searching in the internet for more help.

I could play with my friends, once only, but I had to be the 1st to join the lobby (I'm not the host) and my other friends had to come later, when I already selected my character.

This bug is boring, I do hope that there's a known fix :'v.

@mild ridge sorry for the ping but do you know how i can edit the mobile turret shooting range? i know how to edit its targeting range but it wont fire until its in normal range, itll just walk up to the enemy to get to it so its within firing range, ive stayed up all night just tryna get info on it and i completely forgot you might be able to answer it

mild ridge May 2, 2020, 9:19 AM

#

idk if the AI skill driver setup is documented anywhere at all but that's what you'd want to look into if you're talking about modifying the turret's AI

#

the character master of the turret holds the components that define the behavior of the AI

#

and it goes down the list of choices of AI skill drivers and picks the first behavior for which the conditions are met and perforrms it for a short duration before reevaluating

latent sphinx May 2, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

im in the ai skill driver and i dont think i see much i could work with atleast from what i understand, i see maxDistance but thats the part i know about thats only half the solution, though ive found some juicy stuff in the code for the turret itself under FireBeam so ill hope that works for me

latent sphinx May 2, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

aight well the code didnt really have much i could use for firing distance, cant find anything in the AI skill driver though :/

#

@mild ridge do you have idea of specific things in the code where attack distance may be a thing? maxDistance isnt the right one since it just makes them see enemies from farther away but they still need to get close, its an improvement but not what i need

mild ridge May 2, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

@latent sphinx AISkillDriver.maxDistance is in fact the maximum distance from which the AI will try to activate the associated skill. However, changing this value alone is not always going to be what you need to do to get the desired result. When it's time for the AI to figure out what it wants to do next it runs down the list of skill drivers from top to bottom and picks the first one it finds that fits. So, let's say the primary fire skill driver max distance is 8. You change it to 16, but the skill driver above it tells it to chase the target if they're between 7 and infinity meters away. No amount of changing the primary fire skill driver distances is going to make a difference because the one above it has a higher priority when its distance condition is met

latent sphinx May 2, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

oh alright, so do i check every driver to make sure it all works together?

mild ridge May 2, 2020, 10:52 AM

#

Yes. All of the skill drivers together form the overall behavior and the order matters

latent sphinx May 2, 2020, 10:54 AM

#

yeah i guess that makes more sense now, instead of getting closer to fire they were chasing rather than firing

mild ridge May 2, 2020, 10:55 AM

#

I don't remember the exact setup of those turrets, that's just an example I made up

#

But I do know that firing isn't their highest priority skill driver

you can somehow print out the component

latent sphinx May 2, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

is it like, doable to make new skill drivers for the turrets? not sure if its possible without being like, super good at programming, basically what i want is for them to prioritize bosses over enemies and to run away from enemies while attacking the boss unless the enemies are way too close but how close they need to be for them to prioritize attacking them depends on what enemies are near them, also id like to make it so turrets can find enemies from far away if none are by them and they will run up to be able to attack but i want them to not go for enemies too high above the ground, aka if the range at which they start chasing instead of shooting is like 3x maxDistance then they wont target enemies 3x their maxDistance above the ground

#

also what would the components do?

latent sphinx May 2, 2020, 11:42 AM

#

@mild ridge sorry that i keep pinging, but id like if you could answer my question, im interested in this cause these would all be mods id love to have when i play

tacit gyro May 2, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

He asks in the official server that has basically nothing to do with modding in the tech support channel. Rein has made custom ai before its pretty hard but not impossible but what is impossible for rein lol.

#

You could make your completely own ai basically if you got the know how but thats pretty advanced id say

latent sphinx May 2, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

damn, was hoping it was as simple as just telling them what to do depending on where enemies are

tacit gyro May 2, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

I mean changing already existing values wouldnt be toohard adding new ones to it is harder

latent sphinx May 2, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

how many steps would it take to make a new skill driver?

tacit gyro May 2, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

Alot

latent sphinx May 2, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

damn

tacit gyro May 2, 2020, 11:49 AM

#

Its not a place to start modding at thats for sure

#

Just increasing the range shouldnt be toohard but changing the behavior is

latent sphinx May 2, 2020, 11:50 AM

#

how much can i pay for someone to make the skill drivers for me Ottermando

#

alright well is there a skill driver already in the game about enemy prioritization that i can edit or is that something id have to make

Last 3 times I played Ror2, after a few minutes the framerates dips from 60 to 15 or so, then after about 1 minute of that, suddenly my screen goes black amd my PC fan gets EXTREMELY loud, but I can still hear game audio.

Friend had this problem with ror2 months ago and it killed his graphics card. Does not happen with any other game. Any ideas?

orchid flame May 2, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

turn down the graphics

rigid hawk May 2, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

i have turned graphics down to minimum; and I typically run the game maxed out at 144fps - its not that my PC cant handle it, there must be a memory leak or something else at play

orchid flame May 2, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

yeah i turned it down and it worked for me so yeah

rigid hawk May 2, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

Well that's not the issue here; its melting my PC after well over a year of playing fine maxed out - and my friend had this exact same problem a while back despite having more than a good enough PC - and turning down graphics was first thing I tried.

So, I'm looking for some actual insight into what might be causing the issue

#

For what it's worth, I've noticed that 1/2 the time it happens, my Discord installation becomes corrupt and I need to reinstall it to fix some issues. Also, while my screen is black and my PC fan is LOUD, Discord voice chat stops working -- but I can still hear the game music & some sound effects going in the background, so the game may be continuing to run.

My friend also was running Discord when he had the same issue (which melted his graphics card) months ago; maybe some sort of interaction with Discord & Risk of Rain 2 is causing this.

Was mainly curious if this is a known issue at all, or if I need to dump game logs and a report into bug-reports-pc

latent glacier May 2, 2020, 9:08 PM

maybe uninstall and reinstall?

median ivy May 2, 2020, 10:16 PM

does anyone know if there's a way to load the game in an outdated version?

@mild ridge ok so i got the range to work but now the turrets are delayed, basically they take a second to attack enemies and will shoot at corpses for a second before realizing its dead, know anything that could help figure it out or fix it?

@mild ridge,

If you are using mods, your mods are likely out of date. Uninstall your mods and try starting the game again.
If you have never used mods, the issue is fixed by installing Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015. Download the installer here and choose x64 if prompted to choose between x64 and x86. If the installation fails with the message "0x80070666 - Another version of this product is already installed." please uninstall Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 (and 2017 if you have it) and try reinstalling it.

?latency

plush treeBOT May 2, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

@mild ridge,
Risk of Rain 2 uses Steam P2P networking. While this allows for easier connections without the need to forward ports, certain conditions can still cause problems. If Steam cannot establish a direct connection between you and another player it will resort to using a relay server to deliver your traffic and this can often add delay. If you are experiencing more than a second of latency it's very likely that your traffic is having to go through a relay server instead of directly between you and the other player. Make sure nobody in the group is using a VPN and that all players have their firewalls set to allow traffic for both Risk of Rain 2 and Steam.

?connection

plush treeBOT May 2, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

@mild ridge,
If you are unable to fully connect to another player try restarting Steam. This should fully close any Steam connections that might still be open with any other players, which can cause the game to fail to open a new connection. If this doesn't work, make sure everyone in the group has configured their firewalls to allow traffic for RoR2 and Steam and that nobody in the group is using a VPN.

mild ridge May 2, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

@iron iris ⬆️

#

@latent sphinx by design, skill drivers aren't very sophisticated. you can't really make a new skill driver that "only targets bosses" or something like that since it's just a data set used by BaseAI. You might be able to write a new component that manipulates the BaseAI component, however.

#

and all AI can acquire targets from infinite range as long as they can see them or if they get hit by them. there isn't a limit to target acquisition distance, it's just that there may be a skill driver with higher priority telling them not to engage

#

there's also a field in the skill driver for how long it should last before trying to run a new skill driver picking cycle. that behavior of continuing to attack corpses is probably because that value is set too high

latent sphinx May 3, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

well i got it to work atleast to the point where you probably wouldnt notice it

#

ohh ok, but would it be possible to write a component that makes them attack bosses until theyre in danger with being in danger being enemies getting too close but depending on the enemy?

mild ridge May 3, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

@rigid hawk there's an FPS limit option in the game. I'd suggest picking a limit value if it's currently set to 'unlimited' on your machine

#

@latent sphinx maybe? AI is only really aware of one enemy at a time, which is whoever they're aggroed on

#

@unborn cliff those messages in the output log are normal. what's the in-game issue you're experiencing?

unborn cliff May 3, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

@mild ridge literally just crashes and closes the game

latent sphinx May 3, 2020, 12:09 AM

i thought they are aware of multiple enemies so they could pick who is the closest to them

rigid hawk May 3, 2020, 12:09 AM

@mild ridge It is sadly limited to 120 already, the refresh rate I typically have my monitor on. Thank you for the suggestion though, it does make sense and I hadn't double checked it yet.

mild ridge May 3, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

@unborn cliff check to make sure your RAM isn't overclocked or that you don't have some sort of gaming performance management software that overclocks your RAM for you

#

so far RAM overclocks seem to be the main culprit of random crashes

unborn cliff May 3, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

Mmm no I've never OCd anything, not sure if underclock is an issue though (probably not)

#

It's a laptop

mild ridge May 3, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

well if you didn't build your computer yourself it might have come with that software

#

a lot of manufacturers ship with that kind of thing, especially if the computer was advertised as a gaming pc

unborn cliff May 3, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

It was fine the past few days until suddenly yesterday I would get 3 crashes in an hour

#

I'll take a look, mine is thinkpad x1e2

#

But that's something I may be able to investigate. Thanks @mild ridge!

mild ridge May 3, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

👍

#

if that doesn't turn up anything I'd also suggest making sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date

unborn cliff May 3, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

Alright, much thanks

#

I'll try to take a screenshot of the error pop up (it has some random characters at the end, not sure if thats an error code or not)

#

Might be useful for the devs

mild ridge May 3, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

@rigid hawk next time performance starts to heavily degrade would you mind grabbing your output_log.txt file and uploading it here? it's worth mentioning that the file is wiped every time you restart the game so I'd suggest uploading it after you experience the issue but before the next time you start the game

#

@mild ridge,
Output Logs
While the game is running, it is continually writing to a file called output_log.txt. This file can help us get more information about the issue. If possible, please upload the file here. The file is usually located at:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\LocalLow\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2\output_log.txt

Crash Dumps
If the game crashes it will generate a Dump file. Similarly to output_log.txt, it can help us track down the source of the crash. Please upload your crash dumps here if possible. The file is usually located at either:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Temp\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2\Crashes\crash.dmp
or
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\LocalLow\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2\Crashes\crash.dmp

@unborn cliff you can check for a crash.dmp file based on the instructions above as well

#

I'll fetch it when I get back home

rigid hawk May 3, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

I will try to play the game again tonight and if it happens, I'll let it run at 15FPS for a few moments and then close out. I'm afraid to let it run until it crashes my computer, due to how my friends' graphics card was actually destroyed by the same issue months ago. Hope that will suffice.

@narrow rain ⬆️

@high sable Risk of Rain 2 is mostly a single-threaded game and is usually bottlenecked by the CPU. The processor you mentioned has six cores at 3.2GHz base. At most, it'll probably only be able to account for 16% of your total CPU usage with a little more % for some of the multithreaded things the engine does. How late into the runs are you usually getting before this happens?

high sable May 3, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

Usually late into the game, or with multiplayer scaling, so the game is rendering lots of mobs. Your response makes a lot of sense, might need to finally upgrade from a first gen ryzen. Is there anything I can do in the meantime to try and squeeze out a little extra fps in those cpu intensive moments?

mild ridge May 3, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

well if you're using multiplayer scaling it sounds like you've got mods on. I can't say much about how the game performs under those conditions

#

if you go through the options in the options menu we usually specify whether changing an option will impact the CPU or the GPU in the little popup text so I'd recommend going through that and turning off/down the stuff that impacts the CPU

#

it could also be that if you're running other mods one or more of them is throwing exceptions (errors) every frame, which can also severely impact performance

It seems that a fresh reinstall of my drivers worked so I'm all good now!

plush treeBOT May 4, 2020, 6:46 PM

@mild ridge,
If you are unable to fully connect to another player try restarting Steam. This should fully close any Steam connections that might still be open with any other players, which can cause the game to fail to open a new connection. If this doesn't work, make sure everyone in the group has configured their firewalls to allow traffic for RoR2 and Steam and that nobody in the group is using a VPN.

lofty moon May 4, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

it didn't work

mild ridge May 4, 2020, 6:46 PM

ah, there we go, forgot my own command

if you can get into a game but experience too much delay...

#

?latency

plush treeBOT May 4, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

@mild ridge,
Risk of Rain 2 uses Steam P2P networking. While this allows for easier connections without the need to forward ports, certain conditions can still cause problems. If Steam cannot establish a direct connection between you and another player it will resort to using a relay server to deliver your traffic and this can often add delay. If you are experiencing more than a second of latency it's very likely that your traffic is having to go through a relay server instead of directly between you and the other player. Make sure nobody in the group is using a VPN and that all players have their firewalls set to allow traffic for both Risk of Rain 2 and Steam.

I see a bunch of NO GAMEPAD things in the bottom-right of the UI

googling around I'm guessing the problem is that at some point they disabled the cursor for gamepad users, and it thinks I have one (I don't); does anyone know if there's a way to force it to be mouse/keyboard?

plush treeBOT May 5, 2020, 5:57 AM

@mild ridge,
This issue occurs when Windows is reporting a gamepad, joystick, or other input device providing a non-neutral input. This is usually caused by:

Having a gamepad, flight stick, HOTAS, pedal, racing wheel, or any other kind of non-keyboard/non-mouse input device plugged in. Simply unplug the device from your computer.
Having vjoy installed. If you've ever tried to use a GameCube controller with your PC, you probably have it installed. Opening your computer's Device Manager window should allow you to disable or uninstall it.

@mild ridge, I apologize for asking again, but I don't believe your answer was sufficient. I am able to play XBox titles on my PC (Gears, Killer Instinct, Forza etc). Their Microsoft Store pages say that they're "Available On XBox One" and nothing else implying PC support. My new question would be, based on my use of the XBox PC store, do you think I'd be able to launch ROR2 from the XBox Store on my PC? I apologize if I'm coming off as annoying or rude. I'm just curious.

no worries! I actually have no idea, to be honest. I've never used the xbox store and I'm not involved in the console ports so this is all new information to me

mild ridge May 5, 2020, 6:43 PM

@eternal stream I'm not seeing anything that stands out beyond it being a crash in trying to communicate with DirectX, unfortunately.

#

Do you have your RAM overclocked or run any sort of gaming performance software that manages stuff like that?

eternal stream May 5, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

Nope

mild ridge May 5, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

Maybe try reinstalling DirectX 11 then, or if you get another crash log you can send that my way. If it's a different crash that usually means there's a RAM/motherboard issue. If it's the same crash that means it's probably something having to do with drivers or directx

#

Some people have also had success in doing a clean reinstall of their graphics drivers

eternal stream May 5, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

Not too long ago I had some problems with my ram but I wasn't crashing after I fixed all of those problems

#

I think I should just do a clean reinstall of my gpu drivers

mild ridge May 5, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

a lot of gaming PCs come pre-overclocked or have overclocking software pre-installed on them

#

that's been a common source of RAM problems

Hi Ghor, None of us are using VPNs our firewalls are all setup properly. We haven't had problems ever since the games early access release. The problems only started coming after the latest big update. We use the private game feature, and haven't been able to play together ever since.

mild ridge May 5, 2020, 7:44 PM

We didn't change anything about the networking setup as far as I'm aware, though we did update engine versions. Maybe your firewall no longer recognizes RoR2 as the same application due to the engine update?

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Temp\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2\Crashes\crash.dmp
or
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\LocalLow\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2\Crashes\crash.dmp

@mild ridge

📎 output_log.txt

mild ridge May 6, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

hmmm, it looks like this is a log from when you started up the game and then quit right away

#

would you mind playing until you get the issue and then upload the new log?

orchid flame May 6, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

hey @mild ridge can you help me with getting to the files in ror2 i want mods but i dont know how to get to the files

wise mauve May 6, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

@mild ridge it's okay. I'm going to play if this problem happens back to me, I'll talk to you. thanks for your help

mild ridge May 6, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

@orchid flame you should be able to reach your RoR2 installation folder by right-clicking the game in your steam library, clicking "properties", clicking the "local files" tab, and then clicking the "browse local files" button

orchid flame May 6, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

thank you @mild ridge that helps a lot

#

now how do i install mods(the playing as monsters one mostly)

mild ridge May 6, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

I can't really help with that one. You'll probably want to look up a guide or ask in the thunderstore discord

orchid flame May 6, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

ok thanks for the help

I tried asking in the prismatic-trials text channel, and not sure if the question is appropriate here, but I would like to know exactly what is the trigger for the Mercenary challange "Complete A Prismatic Trial Without Falling Below 100% HP". I have completed today's trial with the Merc 3 times without falling below 100% HP but did not get the achievement. It is notable that one of the active Artifacts is Glass (10% max HP) and that I did take a few wisp hits, but I had a Topaz Brooch barrier and my actual HP did not suffer any damage. I tried this 3 times but I do not seem to be able to receive the achievement with the current trial setting. I will try to do it again and perhaps record it to make sure I do not fall below 100% HP. Nevertheless, I'd still like to know how the trigger for the achievement works if that is okay (I'm a programmer with Unity experience)

#

I'd like to think this is probably just my fault for not noticing a small amount of damage, I'm sorry if this will prove to be a waste of time for you

mild ridge May 6, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

@royal notch no worries. we use subclasses of an achievement tracker type for each achievement and reflection to load up some metadata for them. As an optimization, we instantiate an achievement tracker if you can achieve it (have achieved prerequisite achievements, in this case completing the merc unlock achievement), and if you haven't achieved it already. This particular tracker subscribes to the game's FixedUpdate event and OnServerGameOver event. In the FixedUpdate event, it checks to make sure your health + shield + barrier >= maxHealth + maxShield. If the check is failed, a flag is set and both events are unsubscribed. When OnServerGameOver runs, if it was a game over via beating the trial you are granted the achievement.

orchid flame May 6, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

oh thats neat

cinder glacier May 6, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

So it would be glass that invalidates the achievement then no?

royal notch May 6, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

@mild ridge Does maxHealth refer to the original Maximum Health stat of the current character before or after the effects of the Glass artifact?

mild ridge May 6, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

glass affects your maxHealth and maxShield. The shortened health bar is only cosmetic

#

after

royal notch May 6, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

I assume the Glass artifact affects the maxHealth on the Start method

orchid flame May 6, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

oh that may suck

royal notch May 6, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

Is it possible that the original value that is used by the achievement tracker is saved before the Glass artifact reduction is applied?

mild ridge May 6, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

sort of? we have a function called RecalculateStats. as a principle in our codebase we don't allow simple stat modifications like myHealthStat /= 10. Instead, we regenerate all stats at the same time whenever something marks them as dirty, like receiving a buff/debuff, getting hurt, entering combat, sprinting, having your inventory change, etc

#

so not really. we pull the values from the component that's directly responsible for managing your health

royal notch May 6, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

Ohh I see

#

That's a pretty cool way to approach this

orchid flame May 6, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

also when you get a shaped glass i noticed that when the hp is going down it has the red hp part of the og hp lost and that also appears when hit so

mild ridge May 6, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

that's just visual

#

you don't actually take damage for picking up shaped glass

royal notch May 6, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

Thanks for the reply! Basically I'm a noob 😅

cinder glacier May 6, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

git gud

mild ridge May 6, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

ha, well we've had strange bugs before. it could be some highly specific weird timing issue. I'll keep an eye out

orchid flame May 6, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

oh ok i just thought that what was happening

royal notch May 6, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

I had just tried to record it to make sure and got the achievement... I'm so sorry for bothering you, I love your game and Risk of Rain 1 is my favorite roguelike. Thanks again for your patience and for being awesome and once more I apologize for not gitting gud

orchid flame May 6, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

also @mild ridge will the next surviver be a frog(just a question you do not have to answer)

fair totem May 6, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

oh yes

#

good question

worldly ridge May 6, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

@mild ridge will the next survivor be a frog

mild ridge May 6, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

@royal notch no worries! glad to hear you love the game, and hope you get it!

#

@orchid flame @worldly ridge I haven't really been enforcing it lately but c'mon folks this is the tech support channel. Also the answer is 🤐

orchid flame May 6, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

ok

royal notch May 6, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

Wait you said "Enforcing"....

tacit gyro May 6, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

the awnser is this isnt tech support talk

royal notch May 6, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

Are we getting the Enforcer as well as the mystery survivor.... Hint Hint...? (just kidding, I'll stop spamming this channel I'm sorry)

mild ridge May 6, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

the next survivor is not enforcer, if that's what you're thinking. the winner of the poll for the next survivor is "new survivor" so this is one of the few cases where I can comment on what's next

fair totem May 6, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

dang

royal notch May 6, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

The idea you guys pitched on the survivor being someone who worships the RoR1 survivor got me really hyped. I love the game's lore and enjoy reading about it in the logbooks

orchid flame May 6, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

but maybe after

fair totem May 6, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

so wait you're technically not saying it's not froge

tacit gyro May 6, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

this still is tech support BTW

Hey, me and my friends cant seem to join each others game on steam. We press join and nothing happens. Any help?

?connection

plush treeBOT May 6, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

@mild ridge,
If you are unable to fully connect to another player try restarting Steam. This should fully close any Steam connections that might still be open with any other players, which can cause the game to fail to open a new connection. If this doesn't work, make sure everyone in the group has configured their firewalls to allow traffic for RoR2 and Steam and that nobody in the group is using a VPN.

round knot May 6, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

Restarting steam fixed the issue, thanks

analog charm May 6, 2020, 8:02 PM

Anybody know when the game will be ported to Mac?

orchid flame May 6, 2020, 8:03 PM

idk

When me and my friend try to play together it is super laggy and jank and we cant ready up

heady hawk May 7, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

Corrupted profile out of nowhere, any idea how to fix it? I've verified my files on steam, uninstalled and restarted my computer and nothing seems to help. Any kind of solutions?

Help, my game is super laggy when playing multiplayer, it can't even shoot enemies.

@sinful marlin i have the same problem

very high ping unplayable

near gust May 7, 2020, 4:01 PM

?latency

plush treeBOT May 7, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

@near gust,
Risk of Rain 2 uses Steam P2P networking. While this allows for easier connections without the need to forward ports, certain conditions can still cause problems. If Steam cannot establish a direct connection between you and another player it will resort to using a relay server to deliver your traffic and this can often add delay. If you are experiencing more than a second of latency it's very likely that your traffic is having to go through a relay server instead of directly between you and the other player. Make sure nobody in the group is using a VPN and that all players have their firewalls set to allow traffic for both Risk of Rain 2 and Steam.

void wind May 7, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

okay why then its was ok for many times and now after some of shit updat its laggy now?

#

what changed?

sinful marlin May 7, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

Dunno why, but its fine at midnight but it gets worse at daytime

mild ridge May 7, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

We didn't change anything about our networking in the update. My new suspicion is that many players were always using relay servers but increased internet traffic due to people staying home is causing trouble for the relay servers

mild ridge May 7, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

@orchid flame unfortunately it sounds like the game is in an unrecoverable state at this point. If whichever of you was hosting (or both of you) could upload your output_log.txt file I could take a look at it and see if there's anything that stands out.

#

@mild ridge here you go

📎 output_log.txt

mild ridge May 7, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

this appears to be the log of the client. there's a lot of desync happening here..

#

are you able to get the one from your friend?

orchid flame May 7, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

yes my connection was very poor idk why and i wont be able to get his since he restarted his application

#

sorry about that

spice forge May 7, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

Okay, I have no idea what's going on, but the game keeps using up all of my GPU. I've been able to run the game fine at max graphics, even after the last content update released. My driver is the latest version as well, so what gives? Task Manager is showing that Risk of Rain 2 alone uses 100% of the GPU, despite said GPU being strong enough to handle it

#

It's especially bad in multiplayer, regardless of if I'm hosting or not

mild ridge May 8, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

@orchid flame no worries, if it happens again and you can get the file I can take a look at it

#

@spice forge Do you have the FPS limit option set to something other than "unlimited"?

spice forge May 8, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

It's set to 60

mild ridge May 8, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

what resolution are you running the game at?

spice forge May 8, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

1920 x 1080

mild ridge May 8, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

weird. I can't imagine anything our game would be doing that would cause that unless it was rendering frames as fast as possible or was trying to render in 4k+

spice forge May 8, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

It's been a lot better since I turned V-Sync on for the game shrug

mild ridge May 8, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

our game is very cheap on the GPU compared to the CPU

#

huh. interesting

spice forge May 8, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

Don't know what the problem was though

mild ridge May 8, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

maybe something was overriding the fps limit option somehow

#

if you turn off vsync you could probably use something that can measure game fps to check that it's not rendering faster than 60hz

#

Steam can be configured to do this in the settings, for example

spice forge May 8, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

I'll restart and check

#

I'm seeing it go up to 61, but nothing higher than that.

unborn cliff May 8, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

hey @mild ridge, I keep seeing these unityplayer.dll access violation, should I send the crash.dmp to you?

#

it's the same error I keep seeing (I mentioned it in this channel before), it would happen every 15 minutes of playing or so

mild ridge May 8, 2020, 6:55 AM

#

If you upload it here I can take a look at it
