Which windows heavily suggested(AFTER THREE BSODs TODAY, TWO OF WHICH WERE BACK TO BACK)

Just cleaning all my files since I had nothing noteworthy on there

[hollow urchin]

So my friend is experiencing the same random crashing, sometimes the game just goes POOF, sometimes she gets an RoR2 Unity Crash report, she can play anywhere from minutes to a couple hours. We've tried literally evverrything we can find online about it, next step is what snickers there is contemplating, a full wipe of her PC and fresh windows install... does anyone have a better idea before we go there?

[opal bone]

can I play with a friend online if I play PS and he is with a PC

[thorny schooner]

No

Cross platform isn’t in the game yet (hopefully) and both versions would have inconsistencies which each other, which would just make it not work

Hello i have a problem like this

My game started to crash at launch

I have played the game for some time(3 months I guess) and yesterday, when I tried to launch the game it crashed at startup. I tried to verify the files in steam, reinstal the game, reinstaling GPU drivers in devices manager, cleaning and updateing my Windows 10, cleaning the registry but still it didn't solve the problem...

I didn't make any hardware updates recently and other games works just fine

When games launcher there is small monit apperaing on the screen with game logo and at the top of it is written as follows:

"Risk of Rain 2 - Unity 2018.4.16f1_e6e9ca02b32a

My PC Specs are as follows:
Ryzen 5 5600x
32GB RAM
RTX3070

[jovial inlet]

open command prompt as administrator and time 'sfc /scannow' without the ''

there may be an issue with Visual C++ which this scan can notice and fix

the scan will take a while, so dont think its doing nothing

[warm roost]

so basically windows+R then copy paste the command?

[jovial inlet]

no, because that command prompt is not administrator mode

[warm roost]

ok

got it

already scanning

[limber trout]

Have you ever gotten any BSODs (blue screens of death /stop codes) and does this occur on all steam games (I used muck as a tester since it is free)

[limber trout]

lucky bastard it worked for you

[warm roost]

@jovial inlet should I do something else before launch?

[limber trout]

if i were you proud

[jovial inlet]

restart

[limber trout]

i would also run dmis and chkdsk

to be safe

[jovial inlet]

also yeah chkdsk is a good idea

[limber trout]

type in chkdsk /r

[limber trout]

ok

let me get dmis command and then restart your computer

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

copy that and put it in there

[limber trout]

ok so restart your computer

[warm roost]

Ok

[jovial inlet]

thanks snickers

[limber trout]

yea

[warm roost]

After that I guess it should be fine right?

[limber trout]

so it did that to me might not work

[warm roost]

Ok we will see

[limber trout]

Should work since my sfc didnt pull anything

[warm roost]

Thank you a lot for you help gentelmens

[limber trout]

dealt with this for 12 hours yesterday before finally factory reseting my computer

so i know the pain

[warm roost]

Is there is a specific reason why it happened? I'm asking to avoid problems like that

[limber trout]

That's the problem is there are so many reasons as to why it could happened

[warm roost]

XD

[jovial inlet]

see, if only windows was actually fuckin helpful

[limber trout]

The biggest one is a corrupt file in your disk

[jovial inlet]

like, WHEA, such a fantastic error message that actually tells you something

[limber trout]

Sometimes it can be caused by jsut updating windows OR NOT UPDATING WINDOWS

[jovial inlet]

not

[limber trout]

like how it expertly auto updates your drivers cries in non-pro driver easy

[jovial inlet]

updates your drivers
your pc/version of windows may not be compatible
blue screen

[warm roost]

I am updating it every time, I put my PC together around december and I care a lot for it to not screw anything- I update everything, everythinf is legal etc

[limber trout]

Yea

[jovial inlet]

i doubt that is an issue

[warm roost]

But from time to time it just spits on me

[limber trout]

So just never install feature or quality updates

[jovial inlet]

windows sometimes just decides to not work

[limber trout]

big brain

[warm roost]

Ok

[limber trout]

Unless it is not an optional update

[warm roost]

Pc just rebooted

Lets see

Same issue xD

[limber trout]

oof

[jovial inlet]

also, just gonna say this: be sure no firewall is blocking the game

[warm roost]

But the loading bar gone a bit further

[jovial inlet]

and verify steam files to ensure nothing is missing

those are two very common solutions to everything

[warm roost]

I will reinstall it just to be sure

[jovial inlet]

hold on one sec

if you reinstall, have steam delete the files and then check if anything is left in the steamapps > common folder

if a folder named risk of rain 2 still exists, delete that completely and only then reinstall

[warm roost]

Ok so I gonna reinstall that once more xD

So I am uninstalling this game right now and I make sure to delete the Risk of rain folder

[jovial inlet]

aight, then reinstall

i hope that will fix it

[warm roost]

I unistalled, deleted the folder, now I'm gonna CCleaner the registr

[jovial inlet]

okay so i did a bit of digging and it may be related due a power saving mode you have enabled in your bios

if you have that enabled, anyway

[warm roost]

should I restart once more before install?

[jovial inlet]

not really

just reinstall the game and try again

[warm roost]

Ok

the last time I set something in bios was the fan curve like 2 weeks ago and everything went smoothly - I played few days on the changed setup, after that I didn't change anything

Ok 67%

let's see

[jovial inlet]

the thing is that this is not an issue related to the game, but a certified unity moment

game issues can generally be traced back fairly easily but unity crashes vary from game to game

[warm roost]

https://tenor.com/view/princess-bubblegum-table-flip-adventure-time-angry-mad-gif-3436933

not working

[jovial inlet]

okay, so do you have overclocking or power saving mode enabled in your bios?

if so, disable both

[warm roost]

let me see, gonna enter the bios

[jovial inlet]

aight, feel free to @ me once you are done

[warm roost]

eta 3

I'm looking for it tbh

But cannot find it

[jovial inlet]

i dont know the exact layout of that bios

google it, i guess

google is magical thing that solves most issues

[warm roost]

Ok on it xD

[jovial inlet]

👍

[warm roost]

It was set that way

So there is no OC or Energy Saving

[jovial inlet]

alright

can you run the game and see if it produces a crash dump or output log and post those here?

some smart people can read those and see what is wrong

[warm roost]

Ok

Where can I access the logs?

[jovial inlet]

you can find their locations in the pins

?files

[plush tree]

@jovial inlet,
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

[jovial inlet]

or, well, this message

[warm roost]

Ok, on it

When I am entering USERS then choosing my account there is no AppData folder... What I am doing wrong 😄

Oh probably I have to enable this in some way, I will google it

[jovial inlet]

use %appdata%

literally type that into the windows search bar and press enter

then go back one folder

using %appdata% lands you in the roaming folder, which is not the right folder but it is located together with the Local and LocalLow folders

[warm roost]

God bless you seems to be patient enough to guide a moron like me

[jovial inlet]

yeah no problem man

@steady topaz could you take a look at these please?

im not smart when it comes to reading files but Goo knows his way around, so hopefully he has the time to help you

anyway, there isnt much else i can do for you, so good luck with the rest, and have a nice day

[warm roost]

Thank you a lot, I wish I could get you a beer for the help @jovial inlet ! Have a good day!

[limber trout]

@jovial inlet

[jovial inlet]

yes hi

[limber trout]

cna you help me

[jovial inlet]

sure, what is the issue

[limber trout]

sad story factory reseting it did not fix it

same issue as proud

[jovial inlet]

so i dont know if you have been following the same directions that i stated earlier, i.e. ensuring both power saving and overclock are disabled in your bios

if you have, then i suggest waiting for Goo or someone else who is smart to analyze the issue

[crimson flare]

@warm roost if you're playing on steam, try putting this in your launch options on steam "-window-mode exclusive". I had the same and this worked, worth the shot I guess

[steady topaz]

Ill take a look later

[jovial inlet]

thank you

[orchid flame]

ive heard that there are performance mods?

ive already disabled everything and set everything lowest but still in the later stages of the game

it just becomes soo laggy and clunky to the point of insta death

[warm roost]

Sadly didn't work for me

[crimson flare]

aw that sucks, best of luck to u

[steady topaz]

@warm roostThat does look like overclocked ram issue some players have. Try to disable XMP memory profile from your bios.
Also note that if there is different ram cards installed - this might cause those crashes. In those logs game barely booted before crashing so i think its not the case, but you could test it by unplugging your ram cards and running the game with only one inserted, change them one by one.

[limber trout]

How do you disable XMP memory profile @steady topaz

[warm roost]

Ok, so I will try this - but before that I run the game on XMP profile w/o problems. The kit is 4x8GB 3600mhz CL16 TridentZ bought in a pack

[warm roost]

You can do that in BIOS settings

[trim nexus]

hello, since yesterday i had startup crashes

[jovial inlet]

what is the error message?

[trim nexus]

unity 2018.4.16ft1_e69ca02b32a

[jovial inlet]

the exact same as Proud

[jovial inlet]

do what Goo said

[trim nexus]

ok

[trim nexus]

maybe if i upload my logs?

[jovial inlet]

im gonna assume thats not really necessary due to you getting the exact same error code

[trim nexus]

This problem started after installing windows 10, before that it was fine

[warm roost]

Maybe there was some updates for game or something?

[hollow urchin]

yep, she's definitely had a few black screen computer shutdowns when Risk crashes and no it's not effecting any other steam games as far as we know

[jovial inlet]

if its just ror2 crashing (not due to an in-game bug), the problem is probably related to unity

[trim nexus]

Yea i used an old.version

[thin adder]

ADORO SER O MAMALACE

[wide heron]

I am confusion someone help

Could not set value of ConVar "steam_lobby_type" to "FriendsOnly": Lobby type cannot be set while not the owner of a valid lobby

this is the error message

[near gust]

Are you on a dedicated server?

[warm roost]

Ok, funny thing, I located the issue - there was some weird software with "3d sonic sound" or something similar with was instaled on my pc lately (I tought that it was connected with my ASUS board because it was made by some company "A-...", I forgot the name) and it kept some steam games crashing few seconds after launch. I removed it via CCleaner Uninstal Tool (there was 2 programs with similar name, so I removed both of them and clean the registry. After that, everything is working as intended.

[frosty igloo]

Hi, I'm having a problem with corrupted profiles that seems to be rather common, but have not been able to find a solution for after googling for a bit. Would anyone be kind enough to point me towards what the most recent working solution for this is, if there is one?

I'm getting a message that says my profile is corrupted and there's a prompt to create a new one, and doing so I've lost all my progress thus far

Looking into the local save files folder I find a couple of xml files corresponding to the number of times I've been asked to create a profile to play, and all but the latest one is blank and 0kb in size.
This is absolutely frustrating.

[jovial inlet]

what you can try is deleting them from the profile folder and then having steam verify those files

if that doesn't work, there is a 3rd-party save file editor

https://riskofrain2-save-editor.web.app/ - do note this site is NOT affiliated with Hopoo Games in any way, but i can guarantee it works properly and is safe to use

[wide heron]

Yeah but I am using overwolf for a couple of ui mods

[near gust]

Well, you aren't the owner of the lobby. The dedicated server is

[wide heron]

Sorry mate thinking of the wrong thing yes I am using my own lobbies sorry bout that

@near gust pls still help I may be a little dumb

[quartz sonnet]

Hello! Recently my friends and I have picked up this game, and would like a Dedicated Server to be able to play together easier.

Upon setting everything up, I am met with either the message:

1 -first time profile conmfiguration
or
2 - wrong connectionId in received user packet

Message 1 occurs when server.cfg is present, message 2 occurs when not present or invalid, and either message is triggered when an internal or external connection attempt is made, implying the connection is making it to the server. All ports are forwarded, I am hosting other games from the same machine and so I know there is no hardware/networking issue to said machine, I have made an exception for the .exe and the ports in the firewall, I have run in Administrator mode, reinstalled/verified.

Any support at all would be greatly appreciated!

[jovial inlet]

have you followed the information as to what is written in the pins?

i'm by no means a dedicated server guru but just pointing it out

[quartz sonnet]

Just checked the pins and yes, I believe I have followed everything possible

Checking the server log now, for anything set in the .cfg files (including vanilla, unmodified files) it claims it cannot change anything while the server is already running, though even after a hardware restart it still prints this error

[quartz sonnet]

Got it working. Steam must be installed and running with a logged in account, even if it doesn't own the game. No way around this :(

[trim nexus]

im going to announce that after doing fresh windows instalation for the second time fixed the problem for me

[jovial inlet]

glad to hear it was solved

still random as can be, but whatever

[jovial inlet]

so was one of you playing on a cracked version of the game?

[quartz sonnet]

No, was only me testing via an external PC, all copies legal. Regardless of how the server files were installed, the Steam Client had to be logged in and running. Installing with SteamCMD or even through the Steam Tool wasn't enough on its own, Steam itself also must be running.

[frosty igloo]

Thanks for this. I'm kinda annoyed that this seems to be the only way out, and that the problem is not an infrequent one.
Would you also happen to know if there are things to watch out for to minimise the occurence of corrupted profiles?

[jovial inlet]

dont use alt-f4

go to the main menu and click the close button

that way, the game can properly overwrite your save

[frosty igloo]

Hmm... as far as I can remember this is the only way I quit as well.

[jovial inlet]

i have no idea why it happens either

[frosty igloo]

Is there a difference between a quit to menu and quit to desktop option from the pause menu? I vaguely remember that's an option somewhere

[jovial inlet]

thats just a common solution

yes, there is

[frosty igloo]

I might have used the quit to desktop option now and then. Maybe I should try avoiding that too.

[jovial inlet]

quit to menu just ends your run

quit to desktop in-game is safe to use

at least, so long as you dont unlock something on the exact frame or something like that

but thats borderline impossible anyway

basically, let the game close itself and dont use altf4

[frosty igloo]

Righto, I'll keep that in mind and see if there's a diff. Thanks!

[grizzled vortex]

Maybe this isn't the right place, but I have to get some input here.

I have been trying to nail down the issues of P2P connections on my pc for some time. Seeing as ROR2 is p2p. Thought it was router, tried all fixes for that and nothing worked. Bypassed the router and went directly from modem to pc, still not working. Contacted my ISp and they said they fully allow p2p connections. Windows defender/firewall allows ROR2 on both public and private networks. Is there something I am missing here? What could my issue be?

[jovial inlet]

are you sure you are the issue and not the person you want to connect with?

[grizzled vortex]

yep. The people I want to play with have zero issues connecting to each other and other people

[jovial inlet]

distance could be an issue too, if you are very far away it may cause lag

[grizzled vortex]

Not a distance thing. One of them is about 100 miles from me lol

[jovial inlet]

Copied
For direct connection you will need your friend external ip. myip.com will show that.
Then your friend should host private game and you should activate console ``+ctrl+alt and execuce connect 192.168.1.1:7777 command, where you should use your friend ip instead.
For lan emulation you need to be in the same virtual network, get your friend ip from that program. To host your friend need to open the console same way and execute host 1 command. Then you can connect to him with same command as above, but use lan emulated ip instead. (for example Connect 26.21.85.247:7777)
Its a a good idea to see if your connection is decent enough. ping` command shows rtt=999 that's your ping in ms.

you can try this

[grizzled vortex]

Yeah thats the last thing I haven't tried, but I would like to nail down what the actual issue is. I appreciate that.

[jovial inlet]

no problem

[grizzled vortex]

@jovial inlet are you available to host and invite me? I think I might have fixed it, but I need to test it. I have successfully connected to 2 other listen servers just now.

if not no big deal Ill wait for my friends to hop on

[jovial inlet]

i cannot, sorry

[grizzled vortex]

no worries thanks 🙂

[jovial inlet]

no problem, good day to you

[harsh galleon]

Hey has anybody else experienced issues with RoR2 causing OBS/Streamlabs frame drops? This is the only game causing it for me so I was wondering if it was a known issue by chance.

Edit: Will also note that the game itself doesn't lag for me, nor does anything else. My stream just drops frames no matter how I try to capture the game.

[jovial inlet]

does this also occur when you lower the graphics?

[harsh galleon]

Yes it does

[jovial inlet]

weird

[harsh galleon]

And it stops dropping frames as soon as I tab out

[jovial inlet]

thats really weird

[harsh galleon]

It happens at the main menu, before there's even gameplay

[jovial inlet]

im not sure if its related to the borderless/fullscreen

[harsh galleon]

Tried windowed as well

[jovial inlet]

i have recorded some gameplay myself and it was totally fine

[harsh galleon]

I've also tried switching between hardware and software encoding

[jovial inlet]

is your pc at its limit when recording?

[harsh galleon]

Shouldn't be, I've got a pretty monster pc

[jovial inlet]

i dont think thats your issue, but just wondering

maybe you should try that

record some random ror2 footage and have your task manager running in the back to see how your pc is doing

[harsh galleon]

Tried that too, nothing is peaking performance wise. My cpu usage stays under 30% and I have a 2070 super so it shouldn't be my gpu either

[jovial inlet]

weird

im no expert on obs so i cannot really give a clue as to whats wrong

gonna take a guess and say google didnt help much either?

[harsh galleon]

Nope :/ that's kinda why I came here, I couldn't find any info anywhere else.

[jovial inlet]

also, is your vsync turned off in both settings and drivers?

[harsh galleon]

I tried making the assumption it was some mistake of my own, but couldn't figure anything out

[jovial inlet]

vsync messes up a lot of stuff related to framerate

[harsh galleon]

It was on at first, I assume because I hadn't played in a while, but once I disabled it nothing changed. I even tried restarting the game and my entire stream after disabling it

[jovial inlet]

hmm

you can try sending a support ticket

[e-mail] and state your issues as detailed as possible

[harsh galleon]

Guess I might have to since I can't really thing of anything else that would be causing this sort of problem. Thank you!

[jovial inlet]

best i can do for you

hope you can get it fixed

[swift pagoda]

hay um i need help seting up a bot im trying to use the tatsu bot like yall did where it autoroles people but idk how to do that

[inner anvil]

I don't think this is the right place for this, but it should be as simple as going to the tatsu website (https://tatsu.gg), logging in with discord, clicking on your server and finding that module

[swift pagoda]

thx

[rain sinew]

is it possible to ask for help with the ps4 version here?

[jovial inlet]

best done in #ror2-bug-reports-console as those people know more about it

[rain sinew]

Got it, thanks.

[balmy pendant]

Hello my game stopped working

Vanilla game crashes. I don't know where the normal crash logs are but this shows up in the terminal when the modded version crashes https://pastebin.com/raw/LjHmpq87

Found the normal output log and it's really just failing to load everything with d3d11. I may have a broken graphics driver

D3D error 887a0005 yup. Computer crashed during the driver update and now drivers refuse to install. Of course videogame doesn't work

[jovial inlet]

@balmy pendant so did you fix it?

if not, uninstall the driver, restart your pc and reinstall it. make sure you ONLY take recommended updates, not all (AMD released an experimental update a week or two ago that gave me a bluescreen as well, so had to reinstall that)

[devout osprey]

Trying to use a ror2 dedicated server but i can't connect to my own server

not sure why - getting the error "Warning: wrong connectionId in received user packet"

nvm

got it working for some reason. Trying to get mods to work now

[crystal lodge]

Hey, how do we go about reporting a scam bot on this server, I didn't want to message the moderators directly

[jovial inlet]

dm a mod

[radiant elbow]

Hi. My game's been working fine but today my game won't launch. I'm getting some sort of a unity crash

[jovial inlet]

what is the crash code

[radiant elbow]

where can I find it?

[jovial inlet]

should display on the crash screen

above the ror2 logo

[radiant elbow]

this is what appears when I try to launch

[jovial inlet]

1 sec

okay so i think its either related to a broken driver or the game missing files

first, restart steam and verify the files, to ensure nothing is missing

if that doesnt fix it, open the command prompt in administrator mode and type 'sfc /scannow' without the ''

some part of a broken driver can be fixed this way

[radiant elbow]

it's scanning now

[jovial inlet]

will take a bit

send a screenie when its done

[radiant elbow]

ok

[jovial inlet]

👍

[jovial inlet]

aight

restart your pc and try again

[radiant elbow]

won't launch

[jovial inlet]

figured

[radiant elbow]

:(

[jovial inlet]

see, this error code is very annoying because there is no set fix

anyway, onto the next step then

open command prompt in admin mode again and type 'chkdsk /r' without the ''

[jovial inlet]

you may have some programs open

close them first, then scan, then restart

or you can just select Y and it will scan later (is fine because nothing ror2 related should be open)

[radiant elbow]

it's fixing the drives now

[jovial inlet]

good

the thing about this error is that its not even the game's fault, but unity

thats why its hard to pinpoint the exact issue

[radiant elbow]

figured

[vocal torrent]

And when the update in risk of rain 2

[jovial inlet]

?

do you mean to ask when the dlc drops?

[vocal torrent]

Yes

[jovial inlet]

probably in the very end of december

[vocal torrent]

Oh

[steady topaz]

Soon™

[vocal torrent]

I thought it would be somewhere in September.

[radiant elbow]

ok I'm back on pc

[jovial inlet]

did the scan give any result?

[radiant elbow]

the problem is still present

[jovial inlet]

feck

well, i got one last one

open command prompt in admin mode again and type 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth' without the ''

[radiant elbow]

it's doing it's thing

[jovial inlet]

if all of that doesnt work, then you might wanna drop your crash dump here and someone smart could look at it

[radiant elbow]

is the crash dump in documents?

[jovial inlet]

yeah, the game generates one when it crashes

[radiant elbow]

ok

[jovial inlet]

anyway, let that above scan complete and restart

[steady topaz]

?files

[plush tree]

@steady topaz,
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:

[jovial inlet]

thanks Goo

could you take a look at it?

[jovial inlet]

aight restart first

[steady topaz]

I will, but so far i couldnt figure out what's happening lately

[jovial inlet]

same

ive googled a lot but no definitive solution has been found

[radiant elbow]

wish me luck. launching the game now

[jovial inlet]

i honestly doubt that will have fixed it

considering it found no errors

[radiant elbow]

and you are correct

[jovial inlet]

dang

okay so i forgot to ask this earlier but

all of your graphics drivers and whatnot are up to date, yes?

[radiant elbow]

I updated them this morning

[jovial inlet]

okay

and have you tried running the game in administrator mode?

[radiant elbow]

no

[jovial inlet]

im really just thinking of the most random things rn

we already scanned and tried everything else

[radiant elbow]

I can see

[steady topaz]

@radiant elbowdrop the files if game have created any, links #ror2-tech-support message

[jovial inlet]

the only thing we havent tried yet is disabling overclock but i highly doubt you have that turned on in the first place

its disabled by default

but yeah, drop your crash dump in here and Goo may find something

[radiant elbow]

my gpu is a oc version

[steady topaz]

doesnt matter

he meant ram/cpu

[radiant elbow]

this the one?

[steady topaz]

error.log and output.log are usefull, this one requires a license to VC wich i ran out

[steady topaz]

Got more?

@radiant elbowlooks like sound driver gave up

[radiant elbow]

wut

[jovial inlet]

AudioDevProps2.dll this one i think

[steady topaz]

that's a lib of game sounds, it wasnt loaded to game disposal, game dont have exception to deal with that and crashed. Its a sign, not cause.

@radiant elbowdo you have more crashfolders?

[radiant elbow]

there's a few

[steady topaz]

drop 3 of last ones, same way you did it before

[steady topaz]

Drop this here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Risk of Rain 2\Risk of Rain 2_Data\Config

And start the game

I need the new crash folder after running the game with this

[radiant elbow]

ok

[steady topaz]

Well, its definitely a software issue, someone have this exact crashing, but in completly different game on another engine.
https://forums.codemasters.com/topic/80333-dirt-rally-20-stopped-working-0x9412ba75-in-module-audiodevprops2dll-0x1ba75/

Try to reroll your oc if you have a point to reroll to.
Might be some update that broke something that runs this exact dll.

[radiant elbow]

I don't know if I even have a point to reroll to

:/

[steady topaz]

@radiant elbowdo you have any headset recivers?

[radiant elbow]

I have a external audio interface

[steady topaz]

plug it in if it unplugged.

run the game

[radiant elbow]

it's always plugged in

[steady topaz]

This labeled as a solution, i havent done it myself. Proceed with caution.
A program that meant to scan/repair
https://download.cnet.com/FreeFixer/3000-8022_4-10699842.html
Description
Let the Freefixer run/scan and it will give you a big list, and just read through the list and if you find anything with a-valute in it you just check the checkbox on your left and when your all the way on the bottom of the list you click scan/repair.
0 idea if it works, but people do suggest to use it.

[radiant elbow]

looks scuffed

[steady topaz]

@radiant elbowGot from
AudioDevProps2.dll + 1BA66

[jovial inlet]

@mild ridge sorry for the ping but recently a lot of people have been reporting this Unity crash bug and we haven't found a working solution, so i would like to bring this to your attention specifically.

[radiant elbow]

tbh I don't trust this at all

[jovial inlet]

example of a crash dump is like this

[steady topaz]

me neither @radiant elbow

[jovial inlet]

im really at my wits end tbh

so many people have been reporting it lately, and the only consistent solution so far is reinstalling windows entirely, for some people twice

[radiant elbow]

nope. not reinstalling windows

[steady topaz]

I can suggest to remove the dll from parent folder elsewhere, on desktop for example and see if it does anything to the game.
C:\ProgramData\A-Volute\A-Volute.Nahimic\Modules\Scheduled\x64\AudioDevProps2.dll

[jovial inlet]

im not saying you should reinstall windows, im just confused by the fact that that is the main solution

[radiant elbow]

I GOT IT WORKING

[jovial inlet]

got dang

[steady topaz]

How, we need a step by step for future use

[jovial inlet]

could you play for a while and see if the game is working as intended?

[radiant elbow]

just have to uninstall sonic studio 3

[inner anvil]

there's also that crash because of uh Intel 9400f/10400f that's missing instructions

[jovial inlet]

yeah but thats seperate because of this i think

[jovial inlet]

wait what

how is this the solution?

[radiant elbow]

idk but it worked xD

[jovial inlet]

maybe ss3 is messing with sound files?

[steady topaz]

must be replacing some audio stuff that game tryes to use.

[jovial inlet]

i mean, its an audio driver, so thats the entire purpose of it

if you need an audio driver, just use realtek tbh

simple, and it works

[steady topaz]

drop the output log form the appdata, after you start a run and die.

?files

[plush tree]

@steady topaz,
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

[steady topaz]

C:\Users<UserName>\AppData\LocalLow\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2\output_log.txt

press win+R and type in appdata if you cant find it.

[jovial inlet]

or %appdata% and move back a folder

[radiant elbow]

you guys talking to me?

[jovial inlet]

yes

[steady topaz]

yep, just want to confirm audio is working fine

[jovial inlet]

okay so i want to ask you as well

do you have Sonic Studio 3 installed

[steady topaz]

And i almost forgot.. remove the config file that forces the game to run without intro/splash if you want yo see it
From here: #ror2-tech-support message

[jovial inlet]

if yes, could you remove it from your pc and run the game

[steady topaz]

Game content load completed in 3441ms.
UnloadTime: 49.340900 ms
Active scene changed from to lobby
Looks fine, nothing about sounds missing or something.

[radiant elbow]

so this is the solution :D

[jovial inlet]

we may finally have a solution then

but the thing is, we need to know if this error only occurs on devices with sonic studio

i have seen this error code a lot and i cannot confirm if that is the case

[steady topaz]

Well, to this exact problem, but there are way more hiding behind that access violation. The game/engine just dont have a way to react to the exceptions. Troubleshooting is pain because of this.

[radiant elbow]

well it's now one of the solutions

[steady topaz]

okay gtg, have fun

[radiant elbow]

yup

[jovial inlet]

thank you Goo

@mild ridge follow up ping (sorry again), we have one solution in that Sonic Studio 3 is interfering with some audio files and thus stops the game from launching properly

but it is very unlikely this is the only solution, but wanted to report it anyways

[jagged atlas]

yo
can anyone help me figure out why my wifi adapter isnt showing 5ghz connections

[mild ridge]

I took a look at the crash dump, AudioDevProps2.dll isn't a .dll that's part of Risk of Rain 2. it must be some external software

oh whoops, just saw the follow-up

good to know on that

[jovial inlet]

thanks for taking the time anyway

[balmy pendant]

Yes, restarted a few times and uninstalling GeForce bullshit helped. Cheers

[ruby yacht]

I don't have that installed and im facing the same problem

actually i installed some audio driver yesterday and since then it hasn't been working, maybe uninstalling it will work

no way that actually worked

for some reason it seems downloaded audio drivers completely mess everything up

mine was called "VB-Audio Virtual Cable"

I have no idea why this happens but uninstalling audio drivers like that seems to be the solution

the game is running perfectly right now

[jovial inlet]

interesting

@ruby yacht thank you for this info

[ruby yacht]

yw

I hope this helps people fix this, it's such a frustrating issue

[jovial inlet]

yeah

but we are narrowing it down to non-realtek audio drivers it seems

if someone else has the same outcome with a different audio driver then i'm fairly confident to say we know the solution

[dusky tree]

so i'm getting this error

my game is essentially black screen but I can still enter into menu. This occurred right after I went through void portal underneath bazaar

any possibility of salvaging this run?

[jovial inlet]

@dusky tree was this an online game where you were the host?

[dusky tree]

single player

[jovial inlet]

can you play again and enter void fields with the same artifacts/survivor you had

i want to know if this always occurs or was just a one-time error

[dusky tree]

I can try, but i'm probably gonna try tomorrow

[jovial inlet]

thats fine

what you can do in the meantime: restart steam and verify ror2's files

something may be missing

[dusky tree]

just did, everything came back fine

I think it might be hard to recreate the exact conditions of the run because I was commando and unlocked metamorphosis during the run and ended up going back to metamorphosis 2 more times after that before going into the portal

command > huntress > loader > bandit

[jovial inlet]

i think it was just a random memory issue where the game couldnt find a few files

this bug has happened to a lot of people (myself included) but it usually just fixes itself

[lyric breach]

hey everyone
we've had a weird issue where the game simply closed after starting without creating crash dumps and none of the pinned and less-common solutions worked
turns out, the game doesn't like it if some non-english letters are included in the folder path (e.g. the letter "á")
renaming the folder or moving the game to a folder with english-only letters solved the problem
not sure if this is known or not, thought I'd mention it in case someone comes here with a similar problem 🙂

[jovial inlet]

that is fairly logical considering the game cannot understand those characters

but thanks for pointing it out regardless

[steady topaz]

I think i saw ppl with different to english characters in the path, are you sure there were no multiple steam librarys or outdated copys of the game somewhere near?
Because that will result in game confusing where to get files and closing exactly to a blackscreen and no error message.
I do remember writing the code for someone who had no ` key in his laguage keyboard layout to press this key for him, he sure had a game on non english path and had no problems with it.

[lyric breach]

Yeah, I'm fairly confident that was the issue. I've tried moving around the game to different folders on a different PC (which had no issues launching the game) just to test if the characters were the problem. For example, the game launched properly from "E:/Test" but not from "E/Testű" (same issue: game closed, no crash log).

[bitter jetty]

Does the digital version of RoR2 on the switch include 1 like the cartridge?

[jovial inlet]

it should state that on the store page

[ruby yacht]

alright bad news... it started crashing at launch again

i'm genuinely lost now

[jovial inlet]

what is the error code

the same one?

@ruby yacht

[ruby yacht]

im not sure, where do i see the error code?

a unity window just pops up and it closes

[jovial inlet]

yes, the title of that window

thats the code

[ruby yacht]

i have a screenshot of the one from yesterday let me find it rq

[jovial inlet]

dammit

seems to be the same

[jovial inlet]

can you drop your crash dumps here

as in, the folder, not just the .dmp file

[ruby yacht]

uh i don't seem to have a crashes folder

[jovial inlet]

%appdata%

type that, go a folder back and follow the above steps

[jovial inlet]

huh

well, drop the log then

if thats what we gotta work with, then maybe that will tell us something

[jovial inlet]

thats odd

the log mentions a crash file should exist

is there none in the normal \local\ folder either?

[ruby yacht]

what would that folder be called?

[jovial inlet]

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

[ruby yacht]

oh ok they're in here

you want the one from today?

[jovial inlet]

please

[jovial inlet]

thank you

okay, so

its the exact same .dll failing again

i think its related to wwise audio drivers

could you check if you have those installed?

[ruby yacht]

where would i find those?

[jovial inlet]

just look it up in your search bar

[ruby yacht]

like the one in file explorer?

nothing showed up under the one on the taskbar

[jovial inlet]

either works

the log mentions it so it makes me think its doing something unintended but im not sure

wait nvm, i think wwise is integrated into unity so its probably not related to your pc

[ruby yacht]

well just in case i found a folder

for some reason it mentioned terraria and dead by daylight

[jovial inlet]

dont touch anything there

[ruby yacht]

yeah i assumed that wouldn't be a good idea

[jovial inlet]

hmm

does your cpu/gpu/ram have overclocked enabled?

that may cause issues

i'd like you to confirm those first, and if all are disabled, ping me again

you can check in the bios

[ruby yacht]

kk thanks i was about to ask haha

[jovial inlet]

if all of those are disabled then i have no clue anymore

[ruby yacht]

yeah it's not overclocked at all

[jovial inlet]

all disabled?

[jovial inlet]

@mild ridge sorry to ping you again but we got the same error code again, even after deleting the interfering audio driver

could you take a look?

[ruby yacht]

what the hell it's working now

im so confused

I genuinely didn't change anything was it just the restart??

[jovial inlet]

well, maybe Ghor can still find something in the log

last time it seemed to work and then didnt

[spring mango]

My mike won't let me unmute it

[mild ridge]

I would need a new crash dump

[jovial inlet]

huh, well, @ruby yacht if it crashes again could you send it?

[mild ridge]

oh, I see there's one from about an hour ago?

[jovial inlet]

yeah its the one i included in your ping message

[mild ridge]

ahhhhh, gotcha. didn't see that it was a reply

[jovial inlet]

its not so much that its not working now (fsr), but that i want to find the issue so we can have a solution

[mild ridge]

looks like AudioDevProps2.dll again

[jovial inlet]

thing is, im not smart when it comes to files like that

yeah i did notice that as well, another audio issue

[mild ridge]

it's not one of our files, and I don't recognize it from any software I know. last time, it was part of some driver or audio management software?

[jovial inlet]

Sonic Studio 3 was causing it

but Niko had already uninstalled it

[mild ridge]

apparently not completely

otherwise AudioDevProps2.dll wouldn't be present to cause a crash

[jovial inlet]

maybe some other audio drivers aside from realtek may be including that file?

im not very knowledgable on the topic of sound drivers but some custom ones seem to be causing it

[mild ridge]

strangely enough, it's loaded twice from two different locations

[jovial inlet]

Pin 6 - Pre-DLC crash solutions
The first two solutions are for LAUNCH CRASHES only.

-Audio drivers may be inserting sound files the game does not recognize and thus resulting in a crash (audiodevprops2.dll). This issue is caused by programs like Sonic Studio. Uninstalling these fixes the issue. The only recommended audio driver is Realtek.

-Booting up the game without AVX instructions enabled at Windows level. You can enable AVX instructions by opening command prompt in admin mode and typing 'bcdedit /set xsavedisable 0' without the ''

Other general crashes
-You may have overclock enabled, disable it in your BIOS. Note that ram/cpu that sync their clock rate also causes this issue, set both to base clock rate.

-Programs like Citrix or non-official GPU drivers are active. This can stop the game from launching, but mostly causes crashes during gameplay. Uninstall all GPU programs except the official/up-to-date drivers. Only enable recommended updates.

-A driver may be broken or Visual C++ may be malfunctioning. Open command prompt in administrator mode and type the following commands (let them finish before entering the next). Copy paste without the ''
'sfc /scannow'
'chkdsk /r'
'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth'
'memtest' (If memtest doesn't work, use winkey+R, then 'mdsched.exe' without '')

-Manually reinstall Visual C++. You can download them from here (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145). In the programs list, this is listed as Visual C++ 2015-2019, delete and reinstall both x64 and x86.

Other solutions are listed in Pin 4. If nothing solved your issue, post the Player.log and Error.log here.

can that be pinned

[jovial inlet]

anyway, its nearly midnight here so im gonna go and sleep, feel free to @ me if any developments or other things are found and ill edit the message

thanks for the help Ghor

[inner anvil]

pretty based

[jovial inlet]

dammit Hifu go back to gd1

[mild ridge]

it's worth noting that I think the title of the crash window you get (Unity 2018/4/16f1_e6e9ca02b32a) is just what shows up any time the engine crashes, regardless of cause. one such case I'm aware of is when users try to start the game without AVX instructions enabled at the Windows level

[inner anvil]

that might be worth pinning as well

Also try enabling AVX instructions in your BIOS

or something like that

[jovial inlet]

edited it

[inner anvil]

based

[ruby yacht]

yeah sure

[fierce abyss]

So im having an issue and I have tried looking it up to fix it where the game crashes my entire pc, I've verified files, I've Uninstalled and reinstalled, I've updated all my drivers, I've made sure that everything is up to date, I exceed the requirements to run the game and nothing seems to help. I've defragged my comp thinking that might be it and nothing has helped. I can play for 1-3 hours before it crashes

[jovial inlet]

what kind of crash is it?

does the game straight-up close itself or do you get a unity crash

[jovial inlet]

also, please include your crash files here (crash log, crash dump and output log are all in the same folder). check above message for the location

[ruby yacht]

it started crashing again and that second solution didn't work, here's the zip

this is sooo frustrating lmao yesterday i was able to do a 2 and a half hour stage 31 mithrix loop with no issues

[jovial inlet]

ill have a look later

[ruby yacht]

kk

[jovial inlet]

@ruby yacht issue is still the same audio.dll

aka: you havent uninstalled sonic studio 3 correctly/fully

[ruby yacht]

i never had sonic studio 3 that was someone else, the thing i had was called "VB virtual audio cable"

[jovial inlet]

oh well, same thing anyway

[ruby yacht]

it doesn't show up in the control panel anymore, where would i find excess files?

[jovial inlet]

uhh

probably in your program files

or x86

https://vac.muzychenko.net/en/manual/uninstall.htm this is a detailed explaination

i recommend you follow these steps

wouldnt want to accidentally touch something you arent supposed to

[signal sonnet]

I run the game on lowest settings on pc

and bam game crashes at any time

cant event play a match for long because it crashs at like 3rd stage

[ruby yacht]

yeah i looked like everywhere and couldn't find any excess files from it

[jovial inlet]

did you also check that manual?

[ruby yacht]

yeah it didn't help much

[jovial inlet]

huh

[ruby yacht]

because im pretty sure it's already fully uninstalled

[jovial inlet]

you can try deleting it manually

[ruby yacht]

hm

also it mentions sonicstudio3???

im so lost i have no idea what sonicstudio even is

its not something that shows up in the control panel so i dont think it's a software

[jovial inlet]

sonic studio is an external audio driver

[ruby yacht]

is it important?

[jovial inlet]

if you have realtek, no

and realtek is completely free, so there is no reason to not use realtek

but at least we know that the file exists

after some googling i found that program Goo sent you earlier, that yellow brick thingy

people say it fixed it for them

[ruby yacht]

looks kinda sketchy though

[jovial inlet]

mhm

okay, so

sonic studio really does seem to be the main culprit here

[ruby yacht]

so could i replace sonic studio with realtek or something like that?

[jovial inlet]

close all programs that use the sonic studio 3 applications and delete those .dll's

1 sec

dont delete anything just yet

[ruby yacht]

im not sure which programs use them

[jovial inlet]

https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/pc-audio-codecs-high-definition-audio-codecs-software

download and run the Windows x64 bit version

should be the 3rd from the top

[ruby yacht]

kk

omg how is this website's download speed so bad

[jovial inlet]

bruh

realtek is a huge driver company

maybe you have some internet-consuming things open, like a steam download?

[ruby yacht]

its probably just the website, for example i can download things like videos off of google drive well over 2 gigabytes in under 2 minutes

ig ill just have to wait it out

[jovial inlet]

its really weird how Realtek's website is slow

maybe they are doing some server maintenance or sth idk

[ruby yacht]

possibly

[jovial inlet]

anyway

could you quickly type in realtek in your search bar?

a sound manager should pop up

[ruby yacht]

nothing came up on the taskbar

[jovial inlet]

okay well, install realtek first then

[ruby yacht]

give it a few hours 💀

unless you mean something else

[jovial inlet]

yeah, im gonna go to sleep. once its done, try running the game again

[ruby yacht]

kk

[jovial inlet]

if it doesnt work, ping me and ill have a look at it tomorrow (please include the crash logs)

[ruby yacht]

alright thanks

[jovial inlet]

no problem

[fierce abyss]

so what is happening is the game is crashing my entire pc. there was no crash folder but i found the output log

[delicate shuttle]

hello, so im new to this game (ror2). yesterday, my friend and i were trying to play together. the problem of game was lagging(unplayable). our pc spec is fine if you wondering (gpu we use rtx 2060 and gtx 1070). yet, i dont think we have bad connection or ping since we also play other games smoothly (no lagging at all). any suggestion?

[jovial inlet]

@fierce abyss this log is incomplete due to the crash

its of no use to me

please look in both the \Local\ and \LocalLow\ paths

if neither has them, ping me again

[steady topaz]

@fierce abyssPress winkey+R and type in eventvwr this opens windows event viewer, where you can find what happened prior to pc shutdown.
In that window navigate from left panel to system, should be inside of windows journals folder. Click on it, there should be a list of all errors with dates, short descriptions and error codes.
Sort this list for criticals from right panel, you can do this with filter of this journal

Usiually its related to power issues (code 41) If there isnt enough power to supplu from PSU - pc protects itself by shutting down.

[fierce abyss]

i dont have it in either of them

[jovial inlet]

have you tried what Goo told you?

if not, please do

[slim shadow]

I was having the same issue as @ruby yacht and reinstalling my audio driver fixed it. I figured it would be helpful to mention.

[ruby yacht]

my problem was also fixed by installing realtek and uninstalling sonicstudio

[winter sonnet]

if anyone know how to help please im trying to join my friend but i cannot pick anything

[heady sable]

yes! i have the same problem!

every time i try to play multiplayer this happens i think i've tried everything

[jovial inlet]

#ror2-tech-support message

[grim flare]

so i started up my game, and yesterday i had almost every unlocked and now everything is locked, any way to fix it?

[orchid flame]

there’s a way to unlock stuff by entering console commands/going into the files. I don’t know how to do this though, so look up how to do it

[jovial inlet]

verify steam files

your profile may be loaded incorrectly

[orchid flame]

that’s likely a better solution lol

[grim flare]

it was my profile, thanks for the help tho

[jovial inlet]

so is it fixed now?

[pulsar pecan]

Hi, my game crashes randomly and I emailed about it a few months ago. Is there any update on that?
I can supply more crash logs and emails sent before but I really would like some help.
I also sent a message in bug-reports but I think this may belong here instead, sorry

[pulsar pecan]

Nope, pc
I did look up through this chat and I'm seeing if enabling AVX works

[pulsar pecan]

@jovial inlet Hey I think you helped me fix my game and I love you ❤️

[jovial inlet]

what exactly did you do to fix it?

[pulsar pecan]

I don't take back the love but I take back the fix, I tried enabling AVX like the pinned comment but that didn't work it turns out (I thought it did because I actually went half an hour into a monsoon run before the void fields killed me).

I looked through audio drivers and I don't believe I have anything that would effect the crashing but I still get the Unity specific crash message. I'm trying the cmd scan now. I have the ouput log here, I'll send a crash dump in a moment.

[jovial inlet]

ill have a look at them tomorrow

european time, so im gonna go sleep rn

[pulsar pecan]

Sorry about that, didn't mean to keep you up. Here's the crash file. Thank you so much

[jovial inlet]

can you drop the crash folder instead

the dmp is of little use to me

i need the crash log

log should be located in the same folder you got the .dmp from

[pulsar pecan]

Got it

[modern lotus]

Me and my friend are trying to play multiplayer and it keeps disconnecting, any ideas why?

[grand lynx]

Anybody know what part/team of gearbox ported this game?

[eager ivy]

I managed to setup a dedicated server on ZapHosting, i can join and play on it via console command but it's not showing up on the Server Browser in steam. How can i make it discoverable via the server browser on steam?

[jovial inlet]

sounds like a connection issue

#ror2-tech-support message

try this

[modern lotus]

Alright thanks I’ll try it next time we play

[jovial inlet]

@pulsar pecan from what i have found, your graphics driver may be wacky

please uninstall and reinstall it

also, be sure you only allow verified updates, and not experimental ones

if that doesnt fix it, please follow those scans i mentioned in the pins

the issue appears to stem from a second (virtual) video adapter like citrix workspace

if you have any of those installed, please uninstall those

[mild ridge]

this might be an overclock-related crash

if the game crashes randomly during gameplay, that's usually the cause

and the crash dump looks like the kind that comes from those kinds of crashes

[mild ridge]

you, also, may want to look into temporarily turning down or turning off any RAM/CPU overclocking that your PC may have come with

[jovial inlet]

anyway

what kinda crash is it

unity crash, game freeze/closure or bluescreen?

[lusty bear]

Please help.
I'm on ps4 and I can't join quickplay at all or even join invites. It just keeps saying "Disconnected: could not connect" every time I try to enter quickplay. I reinstalled, checked my connection, restored licenses, and even contacted gearbox but they never got back to me. I really wanna play with others but I can't. Could someone help me with this please? I dont know what else to do.

[steady topaz]

@lusty bear Well, assuming game needs p2p connection like it does on pc.
try to replace your internet with your phone hotspot. Share your internet to your router, make that connection selected 1st, ahead of your wired connection. Then enable upnp in your router and try the game.
Idk how effective this would be, but that's all i can come up with.

[tropic gulch]

Hey, haven't played in a while and my game seems to be absolutely busted atm. I even uninstalled and reinstalled as well as verified files. For some reason my cursor is non-existent after I select my profile. Can't do shit

also getting some funky text at the bottom right of my screen

no cursor 😦

last I played, profiles weren't a thing so idk i think that might of busted it

only thing I can really think of is my steam name is no longer Pickles and that's causing some weird conflicts

anyone have some know-how on where to change profile name in files?
edit: That's not it. Changed my steam name back & fixed nothing

Hello, have ran into an issue when disconnecting midgame and cannot rejoin midgame and it is just saying "bad password"

i am assuming because there is a password on the lobby you cannot rejoin it? i think there should be a work around joining private games with a password on it

@tropic gulch no gamepad binding

[plush tree]

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

1. 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.
2. 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.

[jovial inlet]

follow these steps

[tropic gulch]

thanks! I'll test it these out

[mental beacon]

So @jovial inlet , I think I managed to reproduce the bug.
I finished a run by defeating Mithrix and leaving the moon, started the next run and had 50k lunar coins more than before. I ended that run immediately by dying, started another one to see if I just get the coins with each new game but that didn't work so I just quit that one through the menu.
Another thing that might be interesting to note is what I mentioned yesterday in the bug reports channel because I forgot to start steam as admin again so the run that gave the coins was not finished properly but ended in a black screen again. Only this time I was able to find the "quit to menu" button to get out of it

Also looking at the output log I'm even more certain that yesterday's problem was due to missing file privileges

[mental beacon]

So basically after the run ended there were a bunch of NullReferenceExceptions and after that even more UnauthorizedAccessExceptions

[jovial inlet]

@mental beacon if that is the case, start the game in administrator mode

[mental beacon]

Yes that's what I'll be doing if I don't forget again. But I'm still not sure if the +50k lunar coins come from that and if so why

[jovial inlet]

me neither tbh

Hi guys, I keep trying to start a private game with a friend but he cant even properly load in past character select ( his health bar shows up but its just all black, as though he died). I was assuming connection issues but we can play other things without problems. He's tried a few different things but nothing seems to take.

[jagged herald]

Hello, I can not connect to multiplayer lobbies at all. I invite friends, they can't connect. I join friends, I can't connect. I try to join a quick play multiplayer match, I get disconnected. Please help!

I should also mention that I'm on Xbox one.

[royal sleet]

Hey so this is an incredibly specific issue, I've been trying to access the steam leader boards for ror2, but the request requires a publisher Key for the game, while i think it'd be mad to just hand this out, is there a way that the steam leader boards could be updated to not require this key? That way the prismatic leader board could be used on websites and in discord bots etc.

Not sure if this is a steam thing or a hopoo thing, either way i know this isnt the right place, but the "feedback" board didnt seem right either

[jovial inlet]

hey, is there an actual fix for the mouse delay bug of this game?

i also get the delay in the menus and it's pretty annoying

[jovial inlet]

it runs on both the ONE and X models, not the 360 or old Xbox

the X version is the exact same as the ONE version, so it mainly just runs a lot better

[stone elbow]

hey can someone help me out every time i try playing WSAD wont work so i just instantly die i have restarted it many times

[lone vale]

The two options I could think of would either be to check your controls menu and see if it got switched around, or check if you have a controller connected/plugged in. those are at least the simple/common things to check in a case like that.

[woeful yarrow]

Hey can someone help me. so i downloaded bepin expack and and created a new folder for it extracted all the files and deleted, manifest, read me, and the icon then i tried to downlod the r2api. But when i extracted r2api it came with all the files read me, manifest, icon and plugins expect for monomod did i do something wrong??

[jovial inlet]

uninstall the game and delete anything still in the folder

then re-install and download r2modman (link in pins of #ror2-modding )

manual modding is unecessary as r2modman connects to thunderstore and lets you download mods via its client which is both more convenient and less likely to mess things up

[near gust]

But to answer your question, the monomod folder is no longer needed

And as such, no longer oncluded

[scarlet fractal]

My PC completely freezes, unable to tab out, unable to close anything down and even the power button on my computer oftentimes doesnt work. This specifically only happens when after joining a multilayer lobby I go into the character select screen

I have a strong feeling its down to a corrupt file, done an SFC scan and completing the rest of the cleanup now. But I was wondering if this issue specifically had been mentioned before?

Running the game windowed instead of fullscreen fixed the problem so its probably a graphics card / driver issue. Nevermind then ignore that

[livid edge]

Why does my game quit after like 15 minutes & goes back to the main page of the game? Gpu problem? No crashing or anything being said, just drops me instantly. I’m on pc

[summer sphinx]

Is there a way to clear run history my old save got corrupted do to mods I deleted it and now starting no big but it still show old runs

[jovial inlet]

check pins

[livid edge]

@jovial inlet so do I just need to send the crash data like it’s says in a pin ? Only thing I see that may apply to me

[jovial inlet]

id like you to follow both steps for the non-startup crashes anyway

also, verify steam files if you havent

do that first, always

[livid edge]

Okay I’ll try to figure that out today. How exactly do I do that steam file verify? Is that on a pin post? Not the best with the technical stuff. Thanks for the help with my dumb questions

[jovial inlet]

uhh

restart steam, right click on ror2, properties, and then in the files tab

I tried different solutions: Execute in admin, compatibility in different Windows versions, update drives. It's driving me nuts, every time I play with friends I'm, literally, the cause of the end of the run due to me disconnecting. Does anyone know what can I do? If I need to provide more info, let me know. Thanks all!

@jovial inlet Sorry for bothering, but I've done all the command prompt commands in the pinned message. After 'chkdsk /r', that took a while, should I do something or just pray the crash error is now fixed?

[livid edge]

game didnt crash, but team member may of, thaat or my wifi went out for a split second and kicked him since i was host? But at the end of the game at 20 rounds i was going through the ancient sand gate and as i was coming out i went to fast and somehow hit something and died. then i revived and was stuck in mid air as if i was in my shift command dash animation. couldnt move what so ever and had to end the run.

[jovial inlet]

restart your pc and try again

[mossy bay]

Oh I did. While starting, the pc did all that scanning and finished

After that, I opened a run of risk and a while later, it crashed

I'm trying the solution of AVX instructions enabled

Fingers crossed

[jovial inlet]

if it happens again, send your crash folder

should contain an output log, a crash dump and a crash log

i cant read it rn due to me being away from my pc but someone else may have a clue

you on pc?

[orchid flame]

cuz it might be your graphics card

try making a lot of the graphics lower and see if thatll help

[steady mirage]

yep

[orchid flame]

if it doesnt help then i have no idea

i remember getting that and changing the graphics fixed it

but that was on ps4 so

[steady mirage]

In graphics u mean like lowering shades and things like that?

[orchid flame]

yea

[steady mirage]

i tried but that didn't help

[orchid flame]

oh

[steady mirage]

and my pc did have some problems lately

so i think it's the graphic

[orchid flame]

yea

oh wait check task manager

when you run the game it might be taht its taking up a lot of stuff up or something else is

[steady mirage]

i'll try

ty

[steady topaz]

@steady mirageLooks like shader problem.
You can try:
Run game files verification thru steam.
Check for new GPU drivers.
Try windowed mode (Alt+Enter while in game)
Delete config.cfg from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Risk of Rain 2\Risk of Rain 2_Data\Config
Run the game from integrated GPU if possible.

My friend and I are trying to play, whenever we join a lobby, one of us gets kicked, or when we start, the one who was invited to the lobby will only have their name show up with the health bar all black. Haven’t had this issue until 7/29/21

[teal estuary]

I'm having the same issue with my friend

[peak shadow]

Hey guys. So out of the blue I'm having some interesting frame issues. I used to get over 100 frames but the past two nights I've been getting around 60 and even lower a lot of the time. Not unusual to be down to 20 frames in a TP event. I've always ran the game on high and now I can only get the same performance I used to by putting EVERYTHING on low. Is there anyone who's had this issue and if so, how'd you fix it?

Been looking around trying to find a solution but the only things I'm seeing are fixes for crashes and failed boots.

And the occasional "just turn everything down 4Head"

[peak shadow]

it also drops to ~60 frames when I'm in the menu which is very weird

[glossy jay]

Is there another location that save files are stored? Even after deleting all the files from the folder, the in game profiles are still there. Also tried creating a profile and no new file was created

[peak shadow]

I'll check. What folder would I be looking for?

[glossy jay]

Steam > userdata > (steamID) > 632360 > remote > UserProfiles

That's where save files are stored and worked perfectly fine. After creating an account and even removing the files from there, it's still showing profiles which it shouldn't be

[peak shadow]

I'm only seeing one file

[glossy jay]

That would be your in-game profile. If you were to create another profile another file should be there for that profile

3 profiles, 2 files

and even if I remove the files all the profiles are still there

[peak shadow]

Yeah, but I only have one profile and one file

oh wayment

i see what you're talking about now

[glossy jay]

Yeah, and now I'm having this problem. Before everything was working just fine and now it's not reading or writing to the files and I don't know where it's getting my profiles from

[peak shadow]

do you happen to have another 632360 folder things are saving to? that'd be the only thing i can think of

[glossy jay]

no, there's only one folder for that

[peak shadow]

hmm, yeah i'm not sure. i tried seeing if read-only did anything but it didn't.

alright so now the game just randomly started running above 100 frames where it would be running 60 when the issue was happening. I have yet to find what's causing it, all I did was move to the settings, changed v-sync from off to half to always, back and forth, about 10 times, and all of a sudden my frame rate just doubled.

and all i did was alt+tab and I come back to half the frames!

wanna put this here just in case something's acting weird in here that shouldn't be happening

I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling, verifying game files, starting vanilla and modded (to see if any of my mods are conflicting), restarting my computer, updating my drivers, updating windows, and none of that has worked

[jovial inlet]

vsync probably

update your drivers and disable it both in-game and in-driver

oh wait you already fixed it nvm

anyway its a common issue

[jovial inlet]

steam cloud

disable steam cloud and then delete your profiles

you can also make a new file with the exact same name and have it overwrite another, without disabling cloud

[primal hemlock]

hey so im tryna play mp w/ a buddy but the lobby keeps fucking up and he cant select anything

[glossy jay]

Sorry for replying late, steam cloud is disabled and with the profiles gone they were still showing up. I just found that it's easier to use the in-game console and duplicate the profile that way

[elfin kite]

Hello I am new here like just purchased the game new and am in need of help as I am experiencing game crashing and upright BSOD's mere seconds after starting the single player making the game unplayable for me. All my drivers and software is up to date so I am guessing it may be a hardware issue? Is there any thing I can do to fix the crashing or at least minagate it?

[jovial inlet]

check pins

first message

[peak shadow]

If it's a common issue then there's gotta be a fix for it right? Aside from vsync, because screwing with the vsync settings only works sometimes.

[jovial inlet]

tends to be vsync or malfunctioning drivers

you can try opening command prompt in admin mode and type 'sfc /scannow' without the ''

that will fix any broken windows driver including visual c++

[peak shadow]

Alright I'll give it a shot tomorrow

[peak shadow]

alright so it doesn't seem to be any malfunctioning drivers

so if neither of those fix the issue, is there anything else I could do

is there like a support email i could hit up too?

found it nvm

[peak shadow]

another update, game just randomly started running fine on the first stage, but when I TP'd to the next stage the frames went back to being bad again

[elfin kite]

Ok so I believe I might've fixed the the crashing issue

The issue might've been me having Vsync disabled which was causing my PC to have heartattack and just shut off

Soon after enabling it though I and now not getting any crashing problems and was able to clear the first area with the only issue of me dying alot because i'm bad

[orchid flame]

do profiles carry over to other computers automatically?

[tight tree]

aight so i have mods isntalled but im not quite sure if its because of that but my friend sees these shapes in the ground and during normal stages he can see a bunch of them which blocks his view

[jovial inlet]

if you have steam cloud enabled, yes

[jovial inlet]

seems like a mods issue to me

have them play without

@jovial inlet Am I tripping or did the pins change?

[orchid flame]

ok cool

[peak shadow]

I just wanna bump this, hopefully someone knows

[inner anvil]

😔

[mild ridge]

your crashes appear to be coming from multiple places in the engine code. this is usually associated with overclocked RAM

[orchid flame]

I finished the teleporter 100%, but when I press on it, it doesn't get me to the next level

There is a little sound effect, but it doesn't do anything

[jovial inlet]

cannot say due to mod influence

we dont really do fixing when mods are involved, its best to go to the ror2 modding discord for that

link is in the pins of #ror2-modding

[left crater]

How to turn off auto item pickup?

[jovial inlet]

not

it doesnt exist, outside of lunar items

[left crater]

In cooperative game? why?

[jovial inlet]

idk

its just not a thing

[left crater]

we are constantly picking up each other's items, especially on bosses

[peak shadow]

Just gotta learn to avoid the other item. Not sure if there's a mod that stops it though

[peak shadow]

I've had it happen to me before playing vanilla on a drizzle run, but not really sure how to fix it. I don't know what causes it either, but I've only ever had it happen on high stages. I believe mine happened around stage 50.

[peak shadow]

Bump in hopes someone who has had this problem can help

[orchid flame]

So you didn't have mods on, right?

I was thinking it might come from this mod I have, that speeds up the teleporter loading process

[jovial inlet]

did the fixes i gave you earlier not work?

as in, vsync disable, the scans and re-installing your graphics driver

[mild ridge]

Weird performance fluctuations can also come from power saving mechanisms on your computer assuming you don't need as much power and thus throttling your CPU speed, especially on laptops

[peak shadow]

@orchid flame yeah no mods. I wonder if later in the game the system has an issue getting you to the next stage. But not really sure what makes it happen

[peak shadow]

Unfortunately not, I tried all of that and nothing

[peak shadow]

I'll check those just to be safe, but I believe it's all on high performance and what not

That actually could be possible due to updating to W11 messing with settings

[jovial inlet]

i doubt that

w11 shouldnt touch bios settings

[peak shadow]

Well not the bios stuff, but battery settings

[jovial inlet]

wouldnt make sense either

windows does have a power saving mode but that isnt the issue

because that would be mainly cause slower load times

[peak shadow]

Yeah
I mean I'll still check and give an update to see if it does anything, wouldn't hurt

[jovial inlet]

👍

be sure to keep me updated

[peak shadow]

Hoping something ends up working though lol, I just wanna play the game

[peak shadow]

Updating to W11 did change my power plan, it was at balanced prior to me changing it just now

Because to update to W11 I had to fresh install W10 to enable some stuff to allow my computer to run W11, so it probably changed it when I fresh installed

[jovial inlet]

that shouldnt matter at all, at least from my experience

my pc has been on balanced since i installed it

but eh, if it fixes your issue then its fine

[peak shadow]

Yeah didn't do anything, still lingering at 60 and below in places I should be much higher

Those are all the stats too in case something looks off there

also only sitting at 60-70 frames in the menu when there should be nothing in the menu taxing enough to make it that low

I've done nothing, and the frames have doubled. This has been happening recently, where if the game just powers through the dip, it will spontaneously reach my usual frame rate. However this goes both ways, and after a while of playing with the usual frame rate will spontaneously drop and linger around 60 frames again.

Hey, there it is!

I'll see if I can get a video of it next time, because I'm an idiot and accidentally turned off my instant replay when I went to record it 🙂

[peak shadow]

It won't let me take videos and have the performance overlay on for some reason, but here's a screenshot of it running high, and I'll return with another as soon as it dips because I guarantee it will

Also, GPU started running very hot.

4 minutes later, frames tank. No movement aside from a mouse bump. A pattern I'm noticing is that with the frames, the GPU utilization has also dropped dramatically, and the GPU starts cooling down.

I hope this provides a little bit more help as to what might be going on

Thinking that the GPU temp value might be showing wrong because the temp decreased oddly quickly upon exiting to desktop, and I don't believe heat just goes away that quickly lol

But the GPU usage and the frames are likely correct

[jovial inlet]

if its overheating then it slows down ofc

maybe try dusting off the fans

[peak shadow]

It doesn't heat up until it starts utilizating the whole GPU though

This is literally the only game that I have an issue with

I don't think the dust on my fans would equate to the utilization lowering and rising either, especially when the game BOOTS like that, you know?

And like I said, I don't know how accurate the temp monitoring is when I exit to desktop and it returns to 55° in a heartbeat

[steady topaz]

@peak shadow 79-80C is typical thermal throtting temp. This looks like thermal issue, but remembering other problems with rtx series cards - might be new drivers issue. Try to reroll or upgrade to beta version before checking thermo origin of this problem. Check for malware, crypto miners mainly, pc could be infected and do gpu mining in background, but that's rare.

[peak shadow]

@steady topaz interesting, but the thing is that the temp never really rises literally until the frames rise, almost like it's simultaneous. I want to say it lingers around 70° when I'm sitting around the lower 60 frames. I wish Shadowplay would capture the performance overlay so I could show in more detail. And also, this started happening prior to any sort of driver update -- I actually updated the drivers in attempt to solve it but no dice, but there was no driver update that seemed to cause this to start happening.

Because if it was thermal throttling, I would expect the frames to drop when the GPU started overheating, but it looks like it happens way before the temp even gets close to overheating. 🤷‍♂️ I literally have no idea what to even tie the issue to honestly.

[steady topaz]

@peak shadow you can instal another OS on external drive without touching your system/personal files to run the game from there. Steam and fresh gpu driver is what you need to run the game, bare minimum gonna be installed with OS, provided its win 10. This way you could safely test if its your hardware/thermal problem or software combination. I can't see faster and more or less evident way to test it. 32gb flash stick would be enough for OS + game files. Speed of USB is enough to run the game, but that is not the solution. For ppl before you drivers rerol or complete OS reinstall were the solution. Keep in mind I don't know what exactly is wrong there, but we did lots of test to no result. Doubt there is some light laying in your data, but you can at least do tests like this.

Hmm, would I be able to do that with win 11? Because that's what I'm on, so I'd want to see if fresh win 11 would cause any difference. Or, would I be able to rollback Windows updates to get the same results?

@peak shadow yes, win10+ will do just fine. I do recommend tu use exactly same OS, so use it. Doubt that you have rollback point, but if game were working fine back then, when you have last point it might help. This won't affect user installed software, along with any crypto miner malware. So there is possibility that rollback changes nothing for performance of the game. This is why fresh instal of trial os on same hardware, but on different software might be different. If so you could continue to search for the solution knowing what's different in software

Alright. I'd have to buy a drive and format it to put win 11 on it to see, unless I wanted to wait and see if any sort of windows or driver update changes it

But if those happened to be an issue, wouldn't it affect all of my games, and not just risk of rain

[steady topaz]

thats good thinking, there might be other solutions.

Idk how to answer this question properly, I have limited knowledge, this game just have kinda specific requirements and issues that devs cant really affect. They didn't invent the engine and can't realistically fix every aspect of it. Yes they did outstanding optimisation job and game works for most players very well, but some edge cases like crashing on oc ram under specific circumstances is what just happens to some players.

@peak shadow there were performance issues for gpu 1060 series due to drivers and engine version of the game. Now its mostly gone because of updates to said drivers and engine version. But we still don't know what exactly went wrong there.

hi, my game often freezes and crashes, ive tried reinstalling it and verifying game files. i've attached the crash files

[mild ridge]

If it crashes again, please upload the next crash dump if you wouldn't mind. It helps to have multiple to determine if it's an issue with a consistent crash location or a random one

in the case of the latter, it seems to almost always be due to overclock on the RAM/CPU/GPU (in order of likelihood)

[ashen hound]

heres another crash dump i got

[mild ridge]

The crash location in this dump is different from the one before. I'd suggest checking if your RAM or CPU is overclocked

Hey! I checked with an I.T guy, and he told me my RAMs cannot be overclocked, any other idea?
