@stray rune So far we haven't been able to figure out what it means when a sudden crash occurs where the log cuts off and no crash dump file is generated. There's nothing to go off without any crash diagnostic information :/
@proud kite @supple mortar @stray rune So, in order, the fixes in general I can think of are ```
- making sure graphics driver is up-to-date
- making sure the installation isn't corrupted by verifying files through Steam
- making sure RAM isn't overclocked or controlled by any performance management software
- making sure CPU isn't overclocked or controlled by any performance management software
- making sure BIOS are up-to-date
that's unfortunately all I can recommend at the moment, so if there's anything on that list you haven't done yet I'd suggest you try it
@mild ridge Thanks for the input, I did recently overclock my CPU prior to getting RoR2. I will see if anything I did was the cause.
@mild ridge Thank you so much for the response, and on a weekend even. You rock! 😄 ❤️
@neon grail yes, others have reported the same issue, glad i could help with your performance though
i also have the issue
like ghor said either join clipboard, or host
Dude it is night and day. I did a lot of stuff to try to fix it so it could have been a combination of multiple things. I am just so glad it is finnaly working.
glad to hear that! ive been trying to fix it on my end, with drivers and stuff and different configs, launch settings, etc but nothing, so for now atleast it semi works. we'll just have to wait for updates
@orchid flame I haven't gotten multiplayer to work though, but at least I can play the game solo for a while. The only problem is, I am used to gyro on the switch so it is weird connecting my same controller to the game and have it not work with gyro. I bet my keyboard and mouse could be fine, but i am used to a controller.
if you have an xbox controller there are compatibility tools for that on linux
also with multiplayer, you can still host lobbys and people can join, or you can use lfg and join through clipboard
its annoying but still works, ive been able to play
here is the compatiblity tool @neon grail https://github.com/bwRavencl/X-Gamepad
also works with dualshock4
I have 8bitdo controller that works perfectly because the game sees it as an xbox controller.
you can see if that works then, just follow instructions on page and choose xbox controller
is that for getting gryo?
im not sure if your able to just plug and play in linux, so that is a compatbility tool for gamepads like xbox controller, or dualshock
if your 8bitdo controller is recognized as an xbox controller then it should work
well risk of rain 2 on the computer doesn't have gyro. Also not many games actually have it so I am fine to just connect it over bluetooth and use it with no gyro.
well i think with that tool it actually maps your controller as if it were on pc, although i could be wrong
worth a shot if you want to use controllers\
for the multiplayer I don't know how to host a game because it crashes just selecting the multiplayer tab. It doesn't even get far enough to host a game, i don't think
oh
that is weird
for me when i click join multiplayer, it gives me a unity crash popup, is it the same for you?
yeah but before it gets to that screen.
thats weird, becuase if it has to do with multiplayer and your game runs fine it seems like another actual game issue, but works fine for me
with the steam community guide i sent you, did you install all the drivers it gave you?
i dont know if that will do anything but all i can think of
some of the drivers would let me install them, I could try again and see if I need to configure my runner in lutris differently.
i dont use lutris that much, just proton 5.0.9 through steam launcher, you can try and see if that makes a difference
steam for me doesn't work well. it takes retry connection to steam servers 5 or 6 times to get it to work
well theres not much i can do then, most of what i use is stuff i already sent you. the only fixed i can think of are just packages you need to install or something specific to you
specific to centOS?
maybe, im on arch linux, others have reported the same issue on other distros, i have seen people on mint 20 say it works perfectly. So that makes it seem like it could be some package issue, as distros come prepackaged with different things
but i really dont know, i would just do some digging, and if you can find anything you might just have to wait for updates or info
Im having massive frame rate issues with the game, if anyone is able to help. Ive tried to look up different posts and stuff and I cant seem to figure out the issue
I’m having the same issue. Used to run alright at lower end graphics settings but I’m on the lowest and I still freeze completely even on solo runs
@mild ridge Nvidia drivers are up to date, installation has been verified in Steam, I just updated BIOS (which wipes out all OC settings) so CPU and RAM are running at default values. Game just crashed in character select for me.
I've had the same issues, random crashes, I've the files verified, updated gpu, updated BIOs too
Also did a clean windows install
@supple mortar weird, because I just lowered my CPU overclock and finally managed to get through a full game on Monsoon, no crash
As per Ghor's reccs
It's just recently too, it seems there was a huge drop in fps. Before my game lagged and ran slowly, but now it completely freezes during some monsoon runs
@mild ridge here it be, sorry for it being so late
Hi any time i close my game captain and merc get removed from the roster i can play.
i have beaten the game 4 times and just want to be able to keep the characters i unlock
@trim tusk Weird :(, my R53600 was running at stock 3.6ghz
So i love this game but some time the game crash my pc (its windows 10 have a 16ram and rtx 2060) the error is clock_watchdog_timeout
@spiral kraken if I had to throw out a guess I'd say that your CPU is probably overclocked, which is sacrificing stability for speed. You'll want to make sure that your CPU isn't overclocked or make your overclock less severe.
@trail shore some sort of windows permission issue may be preventing Steam from updating your save file. I have a similar problem with Team Fortress 2 that seems to be specific to my setup.
no man my cpu is not overclocked
@mild ridge but character ability and item unlocks still work
just not character unlocks themselves
@spiral kraken you're positive? a lot of motherboards will overclock your CPU by default, even if you never set up an overclock personally
oh weird. are you running any mods?
no
If you can find your save file and upload it I can take a look and see if there's anything unusual
ok one second
@mild ridge yha man i am positive
@autumn hemlock I couldn't find anything that stood out, unfortunately. You may want to try searching for solutions to the white screen issue with other unity games like Subnautica and Rust.
@spiral kraken you'll want to do some searches on that specific bsod error if you haven't already. a quick lookup on the error seems to indicate that something may be wrong with your hardware if your CPU isn't overclocked
unfortunately I have no suggestions to give beyond that
@mild ridge do you know where i can find my save file?
they're usually in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\(ACCOUNTNUMBER)\632360\remote\UserProfiles
Is this anything?
@trail shore from the looks of the save file yeah it looks like it's saying you never unlocked the achievements/characters and have no play history as them. I still think there's something up with write permissions. If you check that save file in windows what does it say the date modified is?
2020/08/31 1:19 am
@neon grail that's just information about the last run you played, like which character, what items you picked up, whether you won or lost, etc
huh. what the heck is going on
yeah i dont understand why ability and item unlocks stick but characters dont
but is the classic problem that goes with all my tech problems
this is gonna kinda suck but if you can manage to unlock a character then close the game and grab your output_log.txt file without running the game again I can take a look and see if there's some error that's keeping the unlock from sticking
ok no problemo ill be back in in a half
this is the first time I've heard of an issue like this
oh weird, I can actually see in the viewables entry of your save file that it's shown you that you unlocked those characters too
The Mithrix fight has crashed my entire computer again. I repaired the game through Steam and it worked fine for a couple runs but it just did it again. I’m sure this isn’t related but I’m now having boot problems with W10. 
My screen goes entirely black and everything just hitches up. My audio stops, discord cuts out, keys don’t do anything etc
you may want to check up on your hardware
Good afternoon, I have a very interesting story, I'm a big fan of this game, although from Russia, so I bought it on steam and decided to play a network game with Rand, at first there was nothing unusual when we went down into the void, one of them started cheating, made himself immortal, so I spat on it, but in vain, I thought faster, but I will pass, although I do not like it, we reached the obelisk, I go to the game menu, and I have everything open, absolutely. Steam does not indicate that I have everything open, but the network and everything works. I played for 50 hours and collected 87 out of 103 achievements. So I would like to at least find out if I can't wait for the ban because of the fraudster, or if I can start all over again because of him
run a memory test and disk integrity check if you haven't yet
@mental grove we don't have a ban policy nor do we have a global ban mechanism at this time
There are ways to start over with no progress though, like if you start a new profile
@trail shore for good measure, when you grab your output_log.txt file if you grab your save file again at the same time I can see if it's writing but being lost on load or never making it to the save file in the first place
?files
@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
@mild ridge Thank you
ok sounds good
Hi guys I just bought risk of rain 2 on PS4 and I'm stuck on menu screen I'm pressing every button but it's not working how can I fix this or did I just waste my money
@umbral temple unfortunately I don't know anything about the console versions. you may want to try submitting a support ticket with gearbox support: https://gearboxsoftware.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/360001615171-Risk-of-Rain-2
@vestal berry are 10 days passed since you had an update? If not you may reroll a win10 version back.
@steady topaz I’m not sure, but I’ll check in the morning, thank you.
My game starts dropping frames hard at random times, ie going from 50 fps to around 4 or 3 fps. Its not my computer because i played this game smoothly in the artifacts update
@trail shore so according to this it has saved the achievement and unlock for captain. that means that for some reason when the game loads it from the file it gets lost
ok do you want me to relaunch and send the output log again
yeah, that'd help
np
ok so
captain has stayed unlocked this time
i dont know if this will be the case tomorrow but this is the first time it has stuck
got it. if it happens again let me know
@restive siren it could be some other software you've installed recently, or some software you've had for a while degrading. I had similar problems with an activity/time tracking program I had running in the background that kept saving records of everything and the records just kept growing over time. It could also be that your power/performance management software is turning down your CPU speed because it thinks you don't need it, which has been a common issue among laptop users.
@trail shore don't worry about it at all, I can tell from the save file that you experienced a real issue
What would you recomend i should check?
are you using a laptop?
yes
you may want to check your power management settings
I'm also curious to know if the issue occurs even when the laptop is plugged in
My laptop was plugged in when i was playing
hmmm, what's the model
Its Lenovo ideapad 110-15ISK But im not sure if its the specs
I played the game for around 80 hours and never got it before
plus i play on mostly the lowest settings
@restive siren Its must be power/thermal throttling.
Check your temps and get a look under power management and energy saving profiles. There were a few reports that people got those profiles set to super low cpu usage for some reason. This timed well with the update, but not caused by it. Most likely that was windows update.
ill try that
@steady topaz what should i use to check temps?
I searched up what thermal throttling is and now need a thing to check my temps
@mild ridge would you mind taking a look at my crash logs? I already did all of the things you mentioned and non of them helped
if you upload them I can take a look and let you know what I find
any patches/mods to increase fps? thanks
any cloud gaming services is supported to risk of rain 2 ?
any reason why the game is tanking hard on fps at times? I start going into the 12-15 fps. My specs pass for recommended settings, i've got corpses set to disappear immediately and even lowered some settings but nothing seems to be working
i'm getting this bug on rallypoint delta, only started today, been playing for a few weeks without issue. when i look at certain parts of the map it looks fine, but otherwise it all looks like this
cant seem to find anything on steam discussions or google about it either
could it just be a gpu issue?
i know i'm playing with mods and such but my friend isnt being affected by this, i'm getting kicked from games with a "steam auth error" or some shit
@timid lichen Thats usually an error on steams end and should fix shortly. given when you posted that it should be fixed by now but i can't say for sure but it usually subsides quickly.
Hello I have just bought the game today & was excited to play it but I haven't even been able to see the intro as it is black screen with audio. A small unity window then pops up & the game just crashes without even getting to the main menu.
Before typing here I've looked up & tried some solutions (like updating my driver) but nothing seems to work.
@cunning sentinel Your log is full of d3d11 errors
Driver seems to be up to date: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/162984/en-us
set -force-d3d9 in Steam, under RoR2's launch options, see if that helps. Drop the log after you run the game with that launchoption.
@steady topaz wrong person
Sorry
youre good :p
hmm it didn't seem to do anything
drop the log anyway
Now this sounds stupid but did you verify game files yet? i noticed it says it couldn't load a few dlls
yeah a couple times, I'll try it again though
hmm
just tried it & it's still the same thing sadly
the only thing I can think of is try reinstalling your graphics drivers. everything I found on google says its outdated drivers but goo said they seem to be up to date.
Yeah, that's 1st thing that comes to mind in case of such entrys in the log. Those drivers are compatible and up to date, the link above is what he have installed. Quick search thru similar issues reveals that there is more of gamers from all different games who had recived dev's response and there is nothing clear about this situation.
Also he seems to have similar issues with other games.
i see
my profile got corrupted how do i fix this
@cunning sentinel Is able to run the game on integrated gpu, but dedicated gpu throws alot of d3d11 errors in the log and crashes on startup.
The only difference in those - Direct3D level 11.0 and level 11.1
Version: Direct3D 11.0 [level 11.0]
Renderer: NVIDIA GeForce 840M (ID=0x1341)
Version: Direct3D 11.0 [level 11.1]
Renderer: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family (ID=0xa16)
Dx is uptodate on his machine and gpu drivers are most recent. If you have any idea - feel free to share.
@mild ridgei tried forwarding the ports, my friends did too, it still doesnt work, maybe something else? unfortunately this bug is preventing me from actually playing (other than single player)
@unborn rivet okey I fixed the error by connecting to the mobile Internet using a cable
@steady topaz
I have some findings from the game crashing.
Lowering clocks to 2800Mhz seemed to solve the issue, but my ram can do 3200Mhz from the marketing and since I paid for all the ram I'll use all the ram-
I played the game a bit, tried to stress with different ram timings as I increased the Mhz, but so far .. so good. I'm back to 3200Mhz with a 15-15-15-36-256 timing vs 14-15-15-36-256 timing and the game hasn't crashed in a few days now
I'm still expecting a crash, but it's been stable so far
My FPS stutters alot. Normally the game will run fine but then Desktop Window Manager(dwm.exe) spikes and takes up my GPU. It happens now at any interval especially at higher strains later in a run
anyone have any idea on how to fix the full screen issue, havent had an issue until today. when marked as windowed mode my mouse still can swing to my second monitor. tried going into launch files and added the window exclusive mode and didnt fix it
with a dedicated server, how do i go about using plugins? just drag and drop into the folder?
Is there a way to change key bindings in the config?
I use M2 as move forward, doing so will unbind my "move backward" key (which I use W)
@runic swan nothing like that exists at the moment. I'd like to add a console command for that though at some point
key bindings are stored in the userprofile file but messing with that can get kinda dangerous as it's easily corrupted by hand-editing
@mild ridge can I get that directory location? Also, is there a reason the key unbinds?
@runic swan presumably the unbinding happens because of some issue with our setup with rewired. we ended up having to do some hacky stuff to get keyboard and mouse treated like a single controller so there are probably some edge cases that aren't handled correctly.
The location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\(ACCOUNTNUMBER)\632360\remote\UserProfiles but you should be strongly warned that even increasing the size of the file from what Steam remembers could result in file corruption through truncation.
Any news on when the dedicated server tool will be getting fixed?
apparantly it will be fixed next major update
i guess i found out my problem "clock_watchdog_timeout" is was the grafic drivers
No gamepad binding
@graceful seal, We have two known solutions for the topic 'no gamepad binding'. Would you like to view them? (Y/N)
Y
@graceful seal,
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.
Anyone know what is causing this?
if i have mods installed and i start a multiplayer game do i gotta get my friends to download the mods beforehand or will they be able to join and use the mod or does it depend on the mod
@tiny escarp there a mod called unmoddedversion to play with unmodded clients however you being the host might not always work/may be buggy and not all mods may work when you arent host.
its recommend to just have everyone get the mods to avoid issues but as along as you arent host you shouldnt experience any problems unless you have a custom survivor, then you wont be able to select continue if everyone dies.
oh ok cool
do u know if the bandit reloaded mod in particular will/wont work
like without my friends downloading it prior with unmoddedversion installed on my end
@upper obsidian turn soft particles on
@tiny escarp You can't play bandit if they dont have it if thats what you mean,and just having a custom survivor installed(not in use) will cause you to be able not to get the end screen when everyone dies unless its been fixed since I tried.
nono i just meant is the bandit mod compatible with unmoddedversion
oh well that sucks i guess i just wont die
yeah it will load but be weird when joining, personally i'd use the mod manager and just a make profile for multiplayer without bandit.
thats what i do
Thank you patches
i need urgent help , this is my 3rd time writing and zero answer . i did wrote games support team , got nothing ! I JUST bought the game ,after launching it , game shows hopoo games logo and after that on the right corner of the screen this symbol shows up and screen stays like this forever . i waited 10 min . i did try almost everything . there is no save file to edit or options to look . i cant do anything . i think i already lost refund time cause of no answer from support team .
Hello there I have an issue with my profile, I spent 5 hours on the game and all the progress I made from that 5 hours some how disappeared. It went back to my old progress that I unlocked days ago. All the progress I made is shown in my steam achievements but it didn’t show in my profile. Is there a way to fix this?

Im having this exact problem. My game version has also gone to 1.0.1.1 instead of the original. I have the achievements but all I have is commando now. Does anyone know a fix?
i have the same problem!
It's really annoying xD.
It's really annoying xD.
@neon imp idk how to fix it 😦
Same apparently a patch today broke skin modes.
the update deleted all my game data. like I opened up the game without mods when it was updated. played a game. then i closed it and played a modded game. when i opened it up again unmodded because i learned that this prismatic trial was easy to get Mercinary's alternate special on, the game told behaved as if i had never unlocked anything
Hi whenever I try and play modded version, I get into the game and no chests are spawned and no teleporter are spawned. Only mobs spawn, I tried googling but I cant find anybody with the same issue at all. Can somebody help?
@ivory ravine Dont play with mods till they are updated. also i believe it is a problem with ShareSuite
looks like the dedicated server was updated as well!
Have there been an update recently?
yeah game updated today
yeah i only have sharesuite, nothing else
then disable till there is an update for it.
Didint even know today had an update, do you know how long it usually takes for sharesuite to update? 🙂
I'm not familiar with share suite but most popular mods update within2 or 3 days.
Performance dropped after i updated the game, is there anything that can help?
Y
@graceful seal go to your steam controller settings, enable all, then restart steam and game and try again. This has worked for users even if this silly bot doesn't know it
Being unable to play this game with people, unable to launch servers, really killing my vibe for this game :/
New update hasn't fixed anything for me either
Still not getting the Dedicated Server working, Unsure if there are new steps? wiped it and re-installed. Steam guide seems pretty out of date
It's still broken
steam guide is almost perfect, the bat command they tell are broken the way they did them
confirmed? or do we just not have instructions/guides
I finnaly found my out put file. Windows sucks at their directory structure.
No? Then why is the directory structure so weird compared to linux? I can easily find stuff in linux but it takes a lot of searching to find it on windows
I use both, both are just fine. But where the output file is put isn't chosen by the os
if you don't know how to navigate windows file explorer it's on you not the os lol
Hey does anyone know how to play modded with your unmodded profile? i used to be able to but for some reason it wont let me anymore, im using r2modmanager if that matters
@hybrid marsh Disable custom survivors/custom skins till they are update. Also not all mods will work currently, its hit or miss and some may have unwanted side effects.
o oki ill try it, brb
Just got the alt skin for engineer and commando yesterday, log on today to find that they have disappeared along with any save data i made yesterday except for an achievement to get the harvesters scythe
@fluid swift At the main menu click your name at the top right and see if your profile duplicated.
ah i am sorry then, i dont know how to check console saves.
alright, thanks for trying to help
I hope this ist not some old news, but we figured out how to get your dedicated server listed in the server browser ... the guide/server_startup.cfg just has the ports you need switched up
your steam_server_query_port must be 27015 instead of 27016
That doesn't do anything
dedicated servers are just broken in general
they did just update but they still don't work atleast for the majority
tbh it seems like they've just introduced more issues
@feral mural It is just overall easier to use the file experplorer on linux and it is more veristle. You can't refute that.
I can refute that
what functionality does linux have in it's file explorer that windows doesn't?
I'm not saying one is better than another. I'm just saying they both do their jobs quite well. And linux is a whole thing where it varies from distro to distro. I doubt that would affect the explorer much in this case though
Nice to meet you as well, other Mythical
what's the main issue you're experiencing with the dedicated server?
It doesn't show up in the browser even if the ports are forwarded, I can't connect even if I try anyways. I know the ports are forwarded as I have working game servers for other games, and I'm sure that the ports are not overlapping. I also made sure to update the server and make the config changes
do you have access to the output of the server?
it should log connection attempts and I think it says something like "Press Enter to chat." when it's fully loaded and ready to go
Yeah I get that message
I've tried using the server_pregame.cfg and also the cfg specified in the startup to modify the values and it also tells me it can't modify the variable. I've tried with and without doing this
to no avail
can't modify the variable? which convar are you trying to change?
server_pregame.cfg is too late for that, that's executed for setting stuff like artifacts
server.cfg would be the place
I've tried changing the server.cfg and the server_startup.cfg and it still doesn't work
to clarify, what is it that doesn't work? setting the variable or getting the server to display in the browser and be connectable?
it'd probably help to work on one issue at a time
once you get the server reachable you can work toward raising the connection limit
I don't get the convar error if I edit the startup only, but either way it isn't connectable or seeable in the browser
if you have access to your output_log.txt file I can take a look and see if there are any startup errors being reported
or alternatively if you just have the console output piped to a text file
😄👍
so I'm not seeing anything immediately out of the ordinary here, and steamworks is reporting a WAN IP for this server to the game
how much access to the host machine do you have? are you running it yourself or renting it?
I'm not really sure, to clarify my server was working before the 1.0 update if that gives any info, and I'm running it myself
if you run ror2 on the same machine and connect to localhost:27015 are you able to get in?
I don't have the port set to 27015 but I can check
I use that port for Killing Floor 2 server
I am seeing up-to-date servers in the browser, so the tool should hopefully be functional with the correct configuration
this is my server.cfg and the values match the server_startup.cfg
if you run the dedicated server for another game on the same port is it still functioning in that game? I know some port ranges are reserved or may be colliding with other applications
this cfg does look correct
I can check, but it will take a minute
I have tried other ports too to no avail though
sv_port is important for getting the game to actually be connectable, the other two are just for master server and "view game info" reporting
so that's the main one to focus on first
weird...
I don't know why it's letting me now, but I can connect through console
but it still doesn't appear in the server window/browser
are you using localhost as the address or the WAN IP?
I just didn't like un reponsive the file explorer was on windows but I guess it was a virtual machine. I also didn't like the look of it. I just have little minor issues with windows.
I still don't understand why it doesn't appear in browser though weird
The Steam guide, doesn't have instructions on how to "run" the dedicated server, I presume I am just running the exe directly? any command perameters?
if it's not appearing in the browser but it is connectable that means that for some reason the traffic on 10013 is reaching your machine but not 10014/10015
@cyan grotto yep, you just run the exe
well a bunch of people just joined the server, but I'm not able to see it
if you want to configure it you just follow the steps for creating and modifying your "server.cfg" file
but that means they can see it, but I can't
I'm not sure if I'm right, but there was "Local multiplayer" on the 1, can you guys make one for Ror2?
Holy crap. I watch stuff on double speed but I got an extention that can go even faster than that and it is rediculous. I can barely do 3 times speed.
@compact pewter I can see your game in the browser, based on the name and port
maybe steam just doesn't report servers that share the same WAN IP?
It does show my kf2 servers when those are loaded, kinda weird lol
guess that's not it then
have you tried checking with the Steam client's built-in server browser?
thank you for the help though, as long as other people can see it and it's working I guess it's not really a problem 😄
ha 😄
yeah, idk what all of steam's rules for that are under the hood
Well it's working now, thanks again, I appreciate the help
sure thing!
time to play ror2 with my homiesssss
@vital path can't comment either way
when creating a dedicated server, Am I supposed to create the "server_pregame.cfg"? because when opening the server it says that could not find that file and that file does not exist on the location it is supposed to
@mild ridge what does this error in my crash log can indicate?
UnityPlayer.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
in module UnityPlayer.dll at 0033:f07d9314.
All I can tell from that is that something went wrong in the engine. I'll need the crash dump file to provide more specific information
@true elk it doesn't harm operation if you don't have that file. it's optional, for you to be able to set rules as the server is about to enter the pre-game (character select) stage
@proud kite this is what I'm seeing in the crash dump file
it looks like unity ran into some sort of error while performing rendering
it's GPU related?
no, this is a CPU error
could be mobo as well?
maybe. my best guess is that it's memory corruption either by RAM overclock, CPU overclock, or outdated motherboard BIOS
No OC is in place, also BIOS is on it's latest versioon
is it possible some sort of software like intel/msi/nvidia etc. stuff is performing real-time throttling in the background?
do you have something called Ryzen Master installed?
it's just general system control, I think. I don't have an AMD device personally to say
I imagine though that a lot of hardware manufacturers have their control software silently tuning things in the background to try to get better performance
idk if that was ever a thing but I could've sworn it was at some point
Hey ghor, a few days ago we were talking about how clicking join server crashes on linux, i saw in the patch notes something about switching from p2p to ip, no clue what that actually does, but joining still does crash if that was supposed to fix
So you would suggest I install it?
@orchid flame that was to solve an issue for clients not being able to connect to dedicated servers because they'd try to initiate a steamworks connection to a dedicated server that wasn't listening for one instead of using the IP address that's already available. it won't help with the proton game browser issue.
unfortunately that patch was locked in last week, so it was too late for me to add a Wine/Proton check
I actually had quite a few BSODs, after sending the dmp files to a Microsoft BSOD analyzer he's convinced it was a mobo > gpu > ram issue (in that order)
@proud kite no, I'm just trying to narrow down what could be causing bad memory accesses
aha
So this game is the only trigger to my BSODs so far, so I'm trying to narrow down the options for failure
when's the last time you've done a memory test?
all good, i have no clue how to fix, and game is still playable to some extent, for now waiting seems to be the best solution
I've ben troubleshooting this for the past 2 weeks, so always
Memtest86, Memtest5, HCI memtest you name it
are you running on a desktop or a laptop?
deskto
this is a longshot but try opening the game and in task manager set the CPU affinity for Risk of Rain 2.exe to only allow it one core
Sounds good, assuming it won't crash anymore, can I conclude it's a CPU issue?
Maybe? It could be a motherboard issue too, or operating system, or just Unity in general
i actually have a 3600x that runs with 12 cores pretty fine, so yours seems weird
I formatted my OS so I doubt it's the OS
12 thread*
@orchid flame Yeah I'm trying to pinpoint the issue to ask for an RMA, but if I can't find the specific issue, they won't replace
you can do some researching and fine some software to help with resource management if that is the issue
also @mild ridge im not sure if it will help but i can give you a crash log, i just need the location there stored at
sure
as long as there stored in the game folder, then it should be the same for linux
?files
@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
^ oh sorry I missed the last part of what you said
hmm one second
here is a proton log @mild ridge
although it is very long and mostly giberish
huh, I've never seen this before
and then im going to look for an actual game crash log, which i think is located in proton somewhere, they basically make a windows structure within the program]
Thanks for the help @mild ridge
oh found the crashes
location was listed in output log
and that is all i can give
@mild ridge Do I need to port forward "steam_server_query_port" and "steam_server_steam_port" or just "sv_port"? I can connect to my own server but it does not show in the server list
@true elk sv_port is the essential one for being able to connect to the server, the other two ports need to be forwarded if you want your dedicated server to be able to show up in the server list
also sometimes it won't show up in lan but will in internet
atleast is the case for me
ok, going to test it
Anyone know how to get my server running mods? I can't seem to find any documentation on it
i havent tried running one, but i would assume it would be relatively the same as normal. Does it run like an actual server, or is it the steam client thing
I put the folders that work in single player that were next to the data folder in the same location for the server and nothing happened
yeah idk then, prob some special config, ill let someone more smart do the talking
hey does anyone know if there is a good tutorial to setup dedicated servers?
thats a little oudated isnt it, wasnt it made before 1.0 is there anything different?
it basically works just fine but the bat they say to use is broken
here is a working bat, just change the directory to wherever you want yours installed tro
which ports are the steam port and query port? my server still does not show and my friend can't connect directly with my public ip
got my dedicated server running... but everyone who connects shows up as [unknown]
which ports are the steam port and query port? my server still does not show and my friend can't connect directly with my public ip
@true elk you need to set up a static ip, chose ports, forward those in your router, then set the vondig to use those ports
vondig?
lol, I figured out. As long as he can connect directly I'm fine
@true elk fair enough, but why even bother with a server then?
well, my dedicated server woes are ongoing - I can only get my friends connecting via direct console commands. does not show up in the in-game browser, or the steam server browser. port forwarding is setup, verified with another game using same ports (conan exiles). obviously, made sure the heartbeat setting is set to 1.
it looks like it works, but a major pain for my non-tech friends to join :/
@cyan grotto instead of checking lan check the internet section of the server browser for your server
for me my server works just fine, but is not seeable via lan only wan
you cannot see it otherwise even in game for whatever reason but others can afaik
checked both. neither...even if i input the data into "favorites" on steam with the "add server" button, it doesn't show up. "Server not responding"
if you don't mind could you post your server.cfg and your server_startup.cfg here?
if you wanna try and peep it, it's up! 157.131.79.77:27015 and named Gerfblurbing the night away
it doesn not appear in browser
that is why I asked for your cfg
feel free to edit the directory or whatever that info isn't pertinant
server_startup is default, server CFG only has minimal changes (6 players, name, password - all else are default). it's on a remote PC, so i can't easily get the files off :/
chrome remote desktop doesn't support drag and drop apparently
oh I think I got your problem
"verified with another game using same ports (conan exiles)" you can't have overlapping ports
conan is shut down now though.
and you're sure people not on your wifi can connect to your conan server?
your wifi is not setup right
I cannot even ping that address
100% packet loss
I would change all 3 ports to ones you know are forwarded but aren't the current ones or the conan ones and try again
weird...let me check for firmware upgrades on the rotuer and give it a reboot.
may need a crunch lesson on the difference between steam server query ports (leave default?) and sv ports 🙂
sv port is the game port
the rest is for server info and showing in browser
do you have a router/modem combo or just a router?
combo. nothing to config on the modem, just a fiber connection
Sometimes a router will be a router and a modem and then people attach a router to it (this is my setup) if you port forward the last one in the chain but not the first you can have issues
I would directly connect your host pc to the first part of your router combo and connect to that page and forward from there
also probably should have asked this earlier, but have you set up a static ip address for your host pc?
i do not, but I adjust in the times it switches (rare)
i had some external ping (DDos Protection) enabled on my router, wanna try pinging me again?
I'll try again, but if you don't have a static ip this stuff will work then suddenly won't once your new random ip is assigned
I can ping you now
try looking in your server browser again as sometimes that kind of stuff messed up being able to see in browser and all that
@compact pewter Because sometimes the game just go black and usually im the one hosting and that fucks everyone
I mean either way you're hosting it, but whatever works lol
also, that way if anyone gets disconnected they can reconnect with no problem
Is the ROR2DS SteamCMD method currently broken? Got everything configured right and it's not appearing in steam servers.
Yeah, everything is forwarded to the DMZ host with firewall routes unblocked for testing.
don't use dmz stuff
actually forward your ports manually messing with dmz ain't secure
My network has one for multiple machines, it works fine for everything else including other steamCMD servers.
can you post your server.cfg and your server_startup.cfg here?
Can do.
also sometimes it won't appear in lan but is working for whatever reasonso I would check the internet tab and not the lan tab in the steam server browser
I'm checking both on each change to be sure.
can you connect via lan via console command?
The server is hosted for me over WAN, but it's fine through WAN and LAN on console connects
Which is specified under the ROR2DS steam guide, no?
the guide isn't exactly correct
sigh Of course it isn't...
0 can cause problems
it's a good guide, but it doesn't cover troubleshooting well
Yep.
@compact pewter For the sake of sanity checking, which Steam Server Steam port do you use?
@jovial inlet there you go
For a moment, my server showed up on the game browser and people were joining, but now its not on the browser after a restart and I don't know what changed.
did you restart your pc or the server?
the server
sounds like you should restart your router maybe
or
did you check the lan tab or the internet tab?
the server's not listed there either
yeah I'd restart your router and/or host pc
I restarted my router and verified both the game/server files and I managed to start a game with 2 other people. Is there a fix for the [unknown] nametags?
not that I know of, it happens for me too. There's a chance that the game doesn't recognize the characters of non unicode names and throws that up but I can't really test
probably something else
my name is in fancy font and some games refuse to recognize it
what is the purpose of steam_server_steam_port in the server config?
pretty sure it's to show up in the server browser
either way you should probably forward all 3 ports
ah i see. my server wouldn't show up on the browser and it makes sense that it would be because that port is set to 0
Looks like MP still broken huh?
nope it works @long swallow
Is anybody aware of a fix to address the low fps at higher mob counts?
Something in the stack is bottlenecking the fps, as I'm at like 50% cpu/gpu usage while framerate is low
try disabling corpses
I have
I don't think it's related to in game settings
also it's not related to gpu or single thread cpu performance
after the last patch my profile (in which i had all the survivers unlocked and was a good bit in with getting all the items, close to all) got corrupted anyone has any idea how to fix?
@fierce canyon do you use mods?
no
not at all
i mean i dont mind doing it all again because its a good game, but i rather not if possible
check dms
thank you so mcuh
why are all my abilities super delayed when im in a lobby with just my friend
so i started up my ror2 after patching and my profile with literally all the logs, characters ect. was deleted and im starting fresh, any help?
@dawn bolt on the main menu click your name and see if your profile duplicated.
nope, it told me to make a new profile on start up
i know but still check, anyway ill dm you in a sec
i checked as well, its only got one profile with play time of 0:00
Hey all, since the most recent update dropped my game will simply crash upon startup. I updated my drivers, verified files, reinstalled and deleted all personal files but nothing seems to fix it. Do you guys have any ideas?
@coral jolt If you have any overclocks undo them and if youre bios isnt up to date then try updating it.
Bios is updated and I've not overclocked anything
send me the output_log file
C:\Users<UserName>\AppData\LocalLow\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2\output_log.txt
Anyone else having a black screen when they try to join a match
@carmine urchin are you on linux? if so joining from the server browser currently does that.
I have an i7-8750H, GTX 1060, UHD 360, and 16 gb of ram
Will I be able to play this game at at least 60 frames?
Will it be playable around the 2 or 3 hour mark?
Please ping me if you respond
@woeful rock your specs are more than enough to play this game at a consistent 60 fps
yes sometimes the game is buggy but they fix it as time goes on
my setup is just a tad better than yours and I can play it at 120 with occasional dips to 90ish
Alright, thanks for the help
Not Linux, discovered it was my buddies connection
Thanks though, shoulda deleted that once I we solved it
Thanks though, shoulda deleted that once I we solved it
@carmine urchin Please, dont. There are people who know how to use ctrl+f, before asking on how to fix something.
yeah but there was no solution found in this chat
it was "my buddy had shit wifi"
My game runs very smoothly but fps drops significantly when I'm near portals (blue, gold, ect.) because of the very bright glow. Which settings should I lower to counter that?
Probably a lighting or particle effects setting if they have that
shadows can tank your fps and you can use reshade to add them in for a performance boost while keeping shadows
reshade and this game are made to be
thanks for the answer
Hi, has anyone figured out how to fix the missing 'savegame/profile bug'? Or will it be hotfixed soon? Please let me know
I haven't been able to play since the last update..
Are you talking about the update on tuesday sept 1? or has there been another update after that?
yeah that one
1 click your name at the top right and see if it duplicated, 2 if you use mods update skinapi
have you put in a bug report for your issue?
if you're having issues with mods you should replicate the issue without mods
and mods are not stored with the game
so a delete and reinstall doesn't fix mod problems
yeah but there was a problem with skinapi, removing made profiles work again
has since been updated
what exactly is skinapi?
dw about if you dont know, ill dm you in a sec
okay, my profile is duplicated twice. So there's 3 profiles. 2 of which contain all my unlocks and progress
I didnt know i could pick another profile, so thanks for that.
np, for some reason this patch has done that for some
Since 1.0, my game has started to crash during runs, usually within seconds, sometimes a couple minutes. Doesn't seem to have trouble with the menu. Sometimes just the game crashes, sometimes my entire OS crashes and my PC reboots itself.
Annoyingly I also changed my motherboard before playing 1.0 for the first time, so I can't be completely sure that's not related. However I've not encountered any other games crashing like this.
do you have any mods installed or did you at any point have any mods installed?
Nope, no mods.
is the multiplayer 0:00 lobby bug fixed in that new update? haven't got a chance to check yet
I still can't seem to get my server to showup on the in game server browser. I have all ports forwarded, steam can see the server, i can join it myself. I don't really know what else it could be
you might not be able to see it there
try having someone else look for it, also if your server is modded there's a chance it won't appear
alright i will try having someone else look for it.
okay, it shows up. just not for me. thanks for the tip!
no problem 😄
hey guys, just got the game yesterday, been playing single player. just tried to join a multi player game. once i click on join clipboard lobby, screen goes blank, and then after a few seconds im on the main menu. ive restarted the game and tried to connect multiple times, same issue. am i doing somethign wrong
just opened my computer back up from sleep, had a session of the game running - i can only hear game audio but can't see anything whenever i select the game icon - any ideas as to how to get the screen back?
Sleep mode? You probably won't get your session back.
If the graphics are busted and going to the pause menu doesn't work, then it might be for good (for that session).
hitting escape opens the pause menu
but i still can't see anything
i can hear the music stop and hear the hovering over buttons sound
There's a lot of software that doesn't vibe well with the computer going into sleep mode while it's running.
bummer
Haven't played in about a 2 weeks or so, just updated and im getting some pretty bad frame drops or hitching right off the bat loading in. Even the menu feels slow. In game fps shows 144 which i capped it at, but it feels like 10-15 if i turn or if theres more than 3 enemies around
your better off searching online for optimization guides, if those dont help then its a game or system problem and you should come here

@orchid flame they pointed out that they could play fine before an update pointing to a "game or system problem"
Hey, Im running a dedicated server and there is an issue with the adaptive chest. Was just wondering if theres a fix for this or not?
I probably don't know how to fix your issue, but could you be more specific about your issue with the chest?
Its for the adaptive chest. It just doesnt show any of the items it should be rotating through and then just spits out whatever comes last. Heres a console log someone else captured. https://pastebin.com/FP7X9tmL
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
I think this is a common-ish issue for dedicated servers
I would definitely put that info into a bug report
probably the best way to fix it other than it being possible server client lag
@near narwhal Good chances your new motherboard comes with XMP memory profile turned on. Overclocked ram known to cause crashes with acces violation error and errors involving ram could cause pc to shutdown. Try to set your XMP profile to disabled from your BIOS. If there is no such option - there should be manual one. Set recommended value for your cpu/ram.
@steady topaz thanks for the suggestion! But I just checked and it's already disabled.
I can not start the server normally, it does not see it in the Steam master server. For the test, I launched the css server, it can be seen without problems on the Internet. I am attaching logs and cfg. My server is on a remote computer, ports are open. Please, help.
@near narwhal Check with windows event manager what caused your pc to reboot exactly. Search for critical errors and some errors before. google theyr codes.
Also drop here your error and log from last crash:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2\crash.dmp
@steady topaz Is this the Windows Event Manager information you need? I'm feeling a bit unwell and kinda dazed, so I might have done the wrong thing.
@near narwhal My bad, its "event viewer" You should be able to run it if you type that into start menu. Scroll the lists from all the tabs you have choice from the left panel. You need to find such errors:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/559902278018924557/703120678311690300/uWqy2ABJEACJEACJEACJEACJEACJEACJEACJEAC9Uvgtttuq7vGUTSruy5hg0iABEiABEiABEiABEiABEiABEiABEiguQhQNKuiv.png
Event id is what you need to google for to understand what that error means.
@near narwhal I also see you have AVAST installed. Try to completly wipe it out from your pc. There were some reports of it causing problems.
Okay, this should keep me occupied for a while in rooting out these errors, thanks.
Looks like an access violation to do with mono-2.0-bdwgc.dll. Seems to be a not that rare Unity problem involving trying to access memory. Makes me wonder if the new memory to fit the new motherboard might be causing it, but I'd expect other games to be having memory related crashes if it was hardware-side.
Updating BIOS was a fix I saw suggested, but that hasn't fixed it.
@glass nova do you see the unity error window?
my profile got deleted after updating anyone knows why?
@orchid flame on the main menu click your name at the top right and see if it duplicated.
it wasnt but i had a backup on my old harddrive
ok i have another question though, do you use mods?
sometimes why?
if you have skinapi its needs an update or it wont laod profiles
np
Hello, I come here to find some help, is it normal that none dedicated server are working. Even with last update, and all port open server isn't showing up in server browser, and in the server console there is a lot of "wrong connection packet", the 1.0 wasn't supposed to be bugless ? 😄
@fickle matrix drop the log file
C:\Users<UserName>\AppData\LocalLow\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2\output_log.txt
yup same error, i thought i fixed it but it came back 😦
usually he does a restore and it works
until he opens again
i'll send ya the log
my friend is the one getting the error
does he have any overclocks?
IDK
ask him, this includes xmp profile for ram
when he opens again
wow yeh i just changed afterburner to default and now im good...
no he doesn't have any overclocks
thanks 🙂
how recently has this started zeeoz
a week ago
well, send me the log whenever you can.
Does anybody has an idea how to make dedicated server work ?
my risk of rain 2 only use 1 gb ram why how can l add more ram capacity for ror2
Risk of Rain uses the RAM needed. You cannot force it to use more RAM.
This is not how computer works.
Hi!
I recently got two of my friends to get this awesome game
and one of him is getting a Unity crash
the one listed above
@odd walrus do they have any overclocks?
idk i dont think so tho+
ask them, if they do tell them to undo them, this includes the xmp profile for ram.
Okay will do
he says hes laptop doesnt have the turbo option on
so Im guessing thats a no
Are his graphic drivers up to date and what gpu does his laptop have
yo so im playing and i have a really good run and i went to get a artifact and no portal opened after i did the key event and stuff so im just stuck here and fix
i dont wanna end my run
you sure you picked up the artifact?
sure of it
even if you have collected it once already, you still need to re-grab it everytime you are in the ambry
i think my game just glitched and im SOOOO pissed
im on stage 11 and thats really good for me
OMG it opened it just took awhile lol
Are his graphic drivers up to date and what gpu does his laptop have
@plucky imp Intel(R) Core i7-4720
drivers are up to date
@odd walrus i dont think he can run it, while it has slightly more vram the other specs compared to the minimum recommend cards are worse.
he can try setting -force-d3d9 in launch options but idk if that will help.
Hello we are having issue where friends RoR2 is not upadting
and is stuck at 1.0.0.6 or smth where mine is newer
tried verifying files but nothing changes, any ideas?
redownloading game didnt fix anything too
restart steam/pc a few times and try again
Hello, having issues with the unity crash. Had those errors before 1.0, dropped the game now tried again and still happening. No overclocks (gpu, cpu, xmp nothing). Attarched the output log right after the crash. hopefully someone can help me with this.

@cunning gazelle we need your crash log not your output log
at the bottom of that log it tells you where it is stored
@cunning gazelle we need your crash log not your output log
@compact pewter Here you go. hopefully somebody can help me
"Write to location 0000000000000018 caused an access violation."
Other than running the game as administrator, verifying integrity of the games files, and or reinstalling in the same or different locations I don't really know
I would put your error log into the bug report as I'm pretty sure other people have had this issue
Has there been a fix to inconsistent frame rate?
I completed a run in which i unlocked the 57 leaf clover and the squid turret items and yet I dont have them in my logbook and they arent available in game, I can provide screenshots of the end of run screen where it shows the achievements, is there anyway i can get these unlocked or do i just need to do another hecka long run.
@scenic wolf you need to pick them up first in game for them to appear in the log book, not just get the achievement.
Yeah it doesn’t show me as having the achievements
close your game and reopen then at the top right click your name and see if the game duplicated your profile. @scenic wolf
any way to mitigate the drop in fps and sometimes freezing/crashing in late stage tp bosses, other than lowering graphics settings which I've already done of course, especially when the game decides to spawn 20 scavengers at the same time? 
depends, first thing would be to not play that far into a run if its doing that. other than system upgrades no. the longer you play the worse it will get.
sorry i know its not exactly what youre looking for. it just be that way in longer runs
oh well, guess I'll have to upgrade someday in the hopes of going for longer than the 30s, something that seemed to help was looking at the ground or a wall but it would still get pretty dicey, like 2FPS but less freezing but pushing further is just asking for a lost run, thanks anyway!
try eclipse! its not about going for as long as you can but beating mithrix instead and doesnt usually go past loop 2 unless you get really unlucky.
Does anyone know where I can talk to a staff member because I have a question.
dm the bot ModMail
Thanks
Even right at the start of a run with a good compute and updated drivers the frames often drop to 30. Any advice?
Anyone have problems playing Co-op on non-dedicated servers? Everytime me or my friend join each other, there's a bunch of blue bars on the right side and we aren't able to switch characters or ready up. Any ideas?
Hey weird general question. If you're using a controller through steam is there anyway to change the prompts in game from Xbox to Ps4?
i do not think so since dualshock is not officially supported for PCs
Thought that'd be the case, thanks anyway
I lost some progress I lost acrid, loader and the pink robot I'm on Xbox
And the different load outs as well
im not familiar with consoles but if theres a way to check where the save is located you can see if the profile duplicated.
Nah I just have one save I think I'll need to unlock it again then
for about the past week me and my friend cant play multiplayer anymore. it is either a 2-3 second delay or we cant even start our match with both players spawning in we had no issues prior to about a week ago.
My friend and I are experiencing the same issues that DehLeh and Rivunel have mentioned. We are unable to play together although it only started today. We played two matches together perfectly fine, and then halfway through the third game the person who was not the host experienced extreme lag. Every time we tried to play a new game, the person who was not the host would get a black screen, load in extremely slowly, or just disconnect without ever being able to play.
^ we have at this point both disabled all firewalls, checked files, redownloaded the game
Hey weird general question. If you're using a controller through steam is there anyway to change the prompts in game from Xbox to Ps4?
@azure goblet you can in fact change the button prompts to PS4.
Steams controller options are not intuitive open steam and go to the top right and open up steam in big picture mode.
Click settings controller settings and all controller options are in there
What if I already have only the Ps4 support on? It still displays it with the xbox prompts
i am stuck in some kind of purple place and i cant find a portal anywhere
i have been looking for the portal in this area for about 25 minutes now
stage 5
i gave up
Having an issue with multiplayer currently. 4 people can end up in a lobby but when it reaches character selection one of the four gets kicked out of the party.
have you tried hosting a friends only lobby, getting to character select, and then having them join
ooo chimplet that's something i haven't tried yet
been having an issue of just uncontrollable lag for everyone except the host
sounds like your host has shitty wifi
nope when we change host it's the same
the host gets a smooth game while anyone not the host has uncontrollable lag starting from the character select screen
can't interact with anything and attacks appear to come out but don't affect anything
we tried restarting, reinstalling the game, power cycling router
even tried verifying game files
I would try joining a dedicated server then
wait
are any of you using the same wifi?
nope
and we've played normally for the past month
hmm
im gonna try the dedicated server, thank you!
@feral mural I swear they never used to have that controller option in setting as recently as 6 months ago.
we have tried every option you mentioned above except joining a dedicated server but we would rather be able to play with just the two of us if at all possible
@narrow kiln if you dont want to set up dediserver and having problems with normal steam connection you can try this:

My friend and I got this game about a month ago, and we can't get multiplayer to work. The character selection is very bugged (see screenshot) and we can't play the game together at all. This has been happening since we got the game, but it randomly worked once a few weeks ago.

we have tried every option you mentioned above except joining a dedicated server but we would rather be able to play with just the two of us if at all possible
@narrow kiln It's been there for a very long time lol
but It's easy to miss stuff, just figured I'd letcha know
also you can make a dedicated server with a password
so only people you want join
instead of that tedious software method
i dont understand what my issue is
windows firewall isnt interfering at all and my internet is fine
What else have you tried?
i have tried joining people's games and hosting games
i have tried private, friends only, and public games
i have tried changing my v-sync and rule voting settings
inviting and being invited while not in the game
restarting the game, steam, our computers
restarting our computers worked the first time but hasn't worked again since
are the people you playing with on the same wifi?
no
have you tried joining a dedicated server?
no
I would do that, gives better performance anyways
plus if you can set up your own server you probably will have fixed any conflciting network issues anyways
yup
you'd need to setup a static ip, then forward ports to it, then set the server config to use those ports
sounds like a lot of tech stuff, but it's very easy I swear
My game crashed, as usual, and I can't join my friends' lobby for some reason. It creates a new lobby whenever I click on "join game"
This game is definitely more fun with the homies but you do you
(just saying the work to make a server, set up ports and static ip takes less than 10 minutes and will be useful for other games)
@compact pewter used this link
to try to set up the server .
Could not load config /Config/server_pregame.cfg: Could not find file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Risk of Rain 2 Dedicated Server\Risk of Rain 2_Data\Config\server_pregame.cfg"
that is the last error that i see everytime i try to run it
you can ignore that error
you don't need that cfg
just utilize server.cfg like it's specified in server_startup.cfg
@narrow kiln
okay. so in game we dont see the server listed? the second line in the server.cfg file is set to 1.
im sorry for all the questions i dont think ive done any of this stuff since brood war days...
Have you set up your static ip, and forwarded your ports?
and no worries I'm here to help lol
trying to set a static ip atm since i saw that could be an issue
yeah if you port forward your ip and it isn't static your computer ip will change making the ports you originally forwarded not work
Hey, after the 1.0 update my fps has taken a big hit going from around 80 at most times to now being 20-30 after stage 3 and even under 10-20 on later stages (Multiplayer makes this way worse) or when many enemies are on screen. I’ve noticed my GPU utilization jumps up and down from 0 to 100% and maybe that’s why I’m getting such a low framerate. I’ve tried many things, updating and downgrading drivers, reinstalling, moving to SSD, different settings and resolutions but I can’t really find a solution. Any ideas?
did you use display driver uninstaller?
because even a "clean installation" isn't actually clean
I used AMD Cleanup Utility
I wouldn't trust any of the actual software provided to get the job done, they leave logs, configs, files, etc even when they say they don't
definitely try using display driver uninstaller then install the drivers meant for your gpu specifically (NOT the autofind one as that doesn't always work)
sooo i forwarded ports i set a static ip i still do not see my dedicated server up
singleplayer is pretty fun i think i will stick to that
@frosty axle or you could read before posting:
if you dont want to set up dediserver and having problems with normal steam connection you can try this:
https://discordapp.com/channels/417739215355510784/559902278018924557/724218038651453511
@steady topaz
@south arch laptop?
Nope, pc with Rx 580
did you try using ddu like I said?
that software method is just as complicated if not more convoluted. Making their own server would definitely be the better option tbh
let people fix the problem instead of using a jank workaround lol
I used display driver uninstaller and installed again the latest driver for my gpu. I guess it's a little better, until the difficulty reaches insane then I'm back to 20-30 fps and declining. GPU utilization it again jumping up and down from 0 to 100%
Have you checked your pc temps?
sounds like an overheating issue after long term usage
what about your ram usage?
seems like an issue with the game then
I would try using a dedicated server as that has helped offput the load for some people
as instead of you piling stuff on as the game goes on the server deals with it
I've tried dedicated servers but it doesn't make much of a difference
It's probably some optimization that the devs need to do
it's a common problem
there are mods to help deal with it though
Mods like what? I usually play ror with mods with my friends even with this fps issues
proper save and stutterstunter
proper save lets you continue a run after a crash
stutterstunter optimizes some stuff
you can use ror2modmanager to install these easily
I'm already using it. Thanks for the help dude 👍
np
I'm trying to do the prismatic trial (to unlock Merc's unlock) and I'm getting issues I've only experienced with really high ping. Getting hit by glacials that I'm way far from, dashes not connect with enemies, ults not hitting anyone right next to them, and really delayed damage. I am wired as well, so it's not a poor wifi issue. What can I do to solve this?
Just because you're wired doesn't mean it's not a wifi issue
and likely it is a connection problem
It is a connection problem, but it isn't a wifi problem because I don't even have a wireless card in my desktop.
The problem is client-server desync and interpolation causing the server to think I'm in between my last known location and current location.
are you hosting a dedicated serevr, using someone elses, or using connect with friends?
Prismatic trial.
forget it lol
Prismatic trials are only solo.
Well I guess it's not a wireless issue, but of it's related to ping, then check your connection, reset your router/modem etc
so say i, hypothetically, had a school laptop.
said laptop, hypothetically, did not allow anything that requires administrative permissions.
would I, hypothetically, be able to play ROR2 multiplayer
and if I am not, would I, hypothetically, keep my achievements regardless?
Most school equipment doesn't allow installs
so you'd need a portable installation
I usually just grab stuff from my steam apps folder and throw it onto my laptop, it works most of the time. Would I still be able to play multiplayer?
If you can get games and steam to run on it probably yes
but I don't know how this school of your's wifi works
I can sorta bypass the administrator block thing? Steam will install with the bypass I’m using, but it won’t work. I can’t actually install anything if I can get steam to launch properly in the first place.
just use an external drive as a steam library
but honestly
school laptop probably can't run the game well
it probably doesn't even have a gpu
The laptop I have runs it worse.
Games that run terribly on my own run bearably on the school’s laptop.
Nope! Don’t know what that is.
I'm not sure if it is compatible with this specific game but it could help you play the compatible ones for free
just need decent wifi and/or being wired (plugged into the computer with an ethernet cable)
Is it a common problem to have items being collected cause a brief frame drop when the text of the item is trying to load in? When the text starts to load in, it becomes a large white blob and the game drops frames briefly before everything settles back down. It doesn't happen all the time, just here and there. I have an RTX 2060 and an i7 Intel processor, so it doesn't feel like it could be related to my hardware.
my pp fell off please help
probably a driver bad install or an optimization problem
my pp fell off please help
nope you're pp is gone forever
deal with it
So how’s it supposed to work?
you install it
login and it lets you play for an hour at a time using great hardware
you can just keep logging back in
it basically streams a powerful pc to your shitty pc
like netflix for games
you may lag but probably less than your shitty pc from how it sounds
Man, that’s gonna be a bother with how long ROR2 runs go. Thanks for letting me know, though.
yeah no real way around that other than paying $5
One time fee, or is it recurring?
monthly
but you could just use the free one
Or you could invest in a better pc lol
been saving for a while, all I have is $165.
before I go around researching builds, is there any way to make ROR2 even more low spec than I have already done? I’ve made it true full screen, everything video is as low as it can go, including resolution, you get the gist.
yeah you can try and edit the config located in the risk of rain 2 data folder in your risk of rain 2 install
tell us your problem
Help I am stuck inside a hole and I am powerless to resist
Sometimes, I can catch glimpses of the world I once inhabited. It is no longer mine. It was never truly mine. When I got to this stage, I was simply put here against my will. I never asked for this.
Am I plant or am I machine
Anyways if anyone knows how tf I got here or how to get out I'd appreciate it
"Help I am stuck inside a hole and I am powerless to resist" kek
I got out (by spamming rex's abilities so hard I just died)
Although for some reason upon death my charecter model went full on KSP levels of spaghetti
Looks like you glitched inside of the platforms on stage three @worn hull, I know you got out from death but you might have been able to escape by jumping and downward barraging.
So a friend and I are trying to set up Risk Of Rain 2 multiplayer online, and we cant manage to figure it out
when we select multiplayer online, there is no option to invite friends
we can only enter quickplay host a game or search friends lobbies
but when we select the later two options a blank box appears, and then nothing happens
has anyone experienced this??? What do we do???
in the top right, there's a lobby list, you click the plusses below your name to invite a friend
or is that not showing upp
I'm on nintendo switch
I do not own it on the switch but have you checked the nintendo online app?
how do you set up a dedicated server after port forwarding?
but with this bat file cuz the one they have is incorrect, edit the path of this batfile to where you want your server to be installed
thanks man
Yo, I'm not sure if this is the proper channel or #ror2-bug-reports-pc , are devs aware the game runs perfectly via steamplay except for the lobby browser, and can I help fixing it in any way ?
streamplay?
do you mean remote play?
because if so this game is not optimized for that afaik
steamplay, aka proton
steam's linux outofbox compatibility layer
Something on the lobby browser makes the game crash instantly.
other than that the whole game runs butter smooth
you can join from lobby codes and invites just not browser, ghor at the least knows because he was talking to someone about it the other day.
people just call it proton tbh
but yeah I don't use proton
I use wine so I wouldn't know
Yea. I'm aware lobby code works, or direct steam invites
But if ghor is already aware ok, good
thanks, hopefully we get a fix at some point
i've port forwarded and setup the server.cfg but i don't see the server in the browser
any ideas
have a friend check
even if it functioning you can't always see
for instance I can see it on the internet tab for mine but not lan, and some other people can't see it in either but everyone else can
also did you setup a static ip address?
no but i assume the ip would just be my own?
Your computer ip will change every now and then unless you setup a static ip for your connection. So the ports would work until your ip change.
If you launch your server and tell me the name I can check for you
oh you are right, i just set my local ip to static for my pc
ty! i see it in the browser
yeah just lmk the name
its " ICE Risk of Rain 2 Dedicated Server"
if it's up I'm not seeing it
do you know how to fix the [unknown] names?
I don't think there's a way to fix that as of now. I think the devs know though
anyone know how to set default rules? i put pregame_set_rule_choice Difficulty.Hard in server_pregame.cfg but i have to reload it manually
its like it needs a delay before running
how do you get more than 4 people when hosting?
Hey, I am currently setting up a server I have the port forwarded and the firewall rule set for UDP and TCP so that users can connect, but when running then ROR2DS it give s me the error of Could not load config /Config/server_pregame.cfg: Could not find file "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Risk of Rain 2 Dedicated Server\Risk of Rain 2_Data\Config\server_pregame.cfg" Is this just a file path issue, or is there something else? Thanks
you can ignore that completely. you should only really be using server.cfg to edit your server properties
there are times you could use the pregame.cfg but it's best to generally avoid using that at all
how do you get more than 4 people when hosting?
@frail spindle edit your server.cfg to up to the max of 16 players
Alright, Thanks Mythical. I'm going to do more testing tomorrow.
@compact pewter the pregame_set_rule_choice can only be used while in the lobby so i can't put it in server.cfg
not sure how other servers have forced default rules
I wasn't answering you lol
I was answering the post directly above mine
not really sure on that stuff
need help , this is my 4th time
RoR2 has really horrible lag spikes despite me being able to run big boy games like Monster Hunter World at high graphics. This happens even at super low settings. how do I fix this? My graphics drivers are all updated and V-Sync is disabled in nvidia control panel
I was just about to ask, ror2 seems to stutter sometimes for me in single/multiplayer as host, but I have a pretty strong pc so Idk why
It's not like when there's a lot going on but like when something big spawns or i get hit by a bell
but how good is a single core
Anyone able to help with a windows/Unity crash I seem to be always suffering from
The crash happens at inconsistent times ( some days I just dont have an issue, but more or less it happens at some point during a run ).
I have tried a little bit of everything, Restarts/ Admin right to the application, drivers are all up-to-date. Played around with the graphical settings, however, no solution to this issue.
Uploading the "error.log", I can also share multiple other crash files as well if that helps anyone.
Would be very appreciative of any help I can receive.
The main issue I can get is
Attempt to read from address ffffffffffffffff
not sure what I can do to fix this kind of error
I see this under the System logs:
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54}
and APPID
{15C20B67-12E7-4BB6-92BB-7AFF07997402}
to the user DESKTOP-MQD0GA7\TIM SID (S-1-5-21-2739916027-1783342678-2054820267-1001) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.****
Let me see if I can confirm what application this is in the registries
Otherwise, I do have an application error in the Event logs, I can share that as well if you would like.
It's different from from what I had (mine was with my GPU)
I always have issues with the game when im trying to play with more than 3 people
I was able to load into the dedicated server I setup, but when loaded in nothing was unlocked. It was pushing steam client or profiles I did put the 3 DLL, (steamclient64.dll, tier0_s64.dll, and vstdlib_s64.dll) into the main root, but it is still procing the error of steamworksServer.LoggedOn=False which is causing this error does anyone know how to fix this? Also in the bootmanger.cfg I removed the useless headless= line does this effect anything else?
Hello,
my game works fine but when I try to play with my friend who lives in the same country the one who is not hosting laggs really hard.
This came
This came out of nowhere * since a few days ago we played and it was just fine, but now its unplayable and its only with him specifically i went in 400 ping lobbies and it was way smoother, i really dont know whats going on, is there and solution?
without knowing more, not really.
can you test your ping to eachother?
try to also play a game with someone else (Anyone) how is the connecting between them. It's going to be hard to determine it is anything other than a network issue you are facing
yes ive tried with many other people and it all works perfectly
its just my one mate from one day on the other that it just doesnt work anymore
Does the same friend cannect just fine to other people? Is it specifically your connect to each other?
@mild ridge @pallid ibex I've been trying to play the game with my friends on switch through multiplayer online, but that function doesn't work for any of us AT ALL. When any of us select multiplayer, we can enter quickplay, host a private game, or search for friends lobbys. When we host a private game, the only two options we have after are enter quickplay or start game. There is no option to find/select/invite friends. And when we search for friends lobby's nothing happens.... I'm gonna attach a video for clarity
try port forwarding your wifi
make sure to set up a static ip first
disregard the static ip thing actually
it's a console lol
ugh, what? All of the above is out of my depth.....
It's very easy
go to your router, find the ip address
put that in your internet browser
then follow the tutorial
username/passwrod is on the router
or it's something like admin, password, etc
Ah, I already went through all fo this with nintendo support, and my internet service provider support
nothing they had me do worked
Yeah but they didn't have you port forward did they?
How the fuck do I get the game to stop forcing my controller and not registering my mouse and keyboard right?
@velvet current Unfortunately I'm away from home and I did not work on the switch version so I can't really offer much help
It's actually impossible to do anything, and my game just stares at the ground.
you could turn off your controller/disconnect it Gabe
I still had my stick plugged in.
It was probably trying to use my stick.
Which would not work at all.
I don't know what port forwarding is, and when I enter my router address, It just takes me to my account page for my internet
yeah login to that page
the login info should be on your router, probably on the bottom
@velvet current usually your router has a sticker on the back with a username and password
Separate from the wifi password
I guess I want an option to tell it to not use my controllers, but that's obviously not gonna be a priority.
@orchid flame yeah unfortunately that's not an existing feature at the moment
Hey guys. My friend and I are trying to set up a dedicated server to play multiplayer on, but we are new to the whole thing.
He's hosting the server on an old computer of his, and apparently he has been able to connect, but when i use the cl_password "***"; connect "ipaddress:port"; cmd in the Console I'm not able to connect
The prefab 'ArenaMissionController' has multiple NetworkIdentity components. There can only be one NetworkIdentity on a prefab, and it must be on the root object.
