OMG I CAN PLAY THE GAME

[tranquil wedge]

IT WORKS

FOR ME AS WELLI TESTED MUL-T FIRST THEN RAILGUNNER!

THIS NEEDS TO BE PINNED!

[mossy dragon]

YAAAAY

[jovial inlet]

it is

i updated the fixes pin

[tranquil wedge]

nice, thanks bro!

[soft fossil]

I'll try on Artificer ASAP since it crashed the most for me

Stage 2, so that's a tentative fix here, too!

that's not good, though

[foggy thistle]

This might help #ror2-tech-support message

[weary skiff]

ok then, i'll test it now to see if it works

[soft fossil]

definitely seems to have fixed mine. I'll take magenta water over crashing any day

[weary skiff]

IT WORKED, thank you very much

[vestal folio]

did anyone ever find a fix to the problem that people were having with not being able to join multiplayer games

[foggy thistle]

Don't thank me, thank @shrewd edge

[weary skiff]

@shrewd edge thank you so much man

[foggy thistle]

#ror2-tech-support message

[shrewd edge]

np, hf :)

[foggy thistle]

That command line argument is setting the DirectX 11 feature level, so perhaps there's a better feature level for your graphics card https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_levels_in_Direct3D#Direct3D_11

[soft fossil]

I'll have to see, thanks!

Do you happen to know what default is?

[mossy dragon]

omg Im so happy it worked thanks to everyone :>

[stuck nebula]

Too bad i dont have amd

But im glad it works for you guys :)

[mossy dragon]

Il still assit you to find a solution

[foggy thistle]

This solution is related to the graphics card, but it isn't exclusive to AMD. You can check to see what the maximum feature level is for your graphics card to see if this is potentially a fix for you

[mossy dragon]

You could try it at least

[stuck nebula]

I can try it, ill just need to figure out how to lower whatever i need to

At this point i just want to play the game, i can get the dlc later

[vague hawk]

Trying to make sense of this error message:

Socket: bind failed, error: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.
Cannot open socket on ip {*} and port {7777}; check please your network, most probably port has been already occupied
(Filename: Line: 499)
Description: Error occurs when clicking "Create game" in Multiplayer. Joining other games is possible, if a little laggy.

Error has persisted for a while now, I've been putting off fixing it thinking an update or two might have the answer. But another PC in the same network has the same issue, and I'm trying to understand what steps I can take to try and fix it.

[foggy thistle]

If you google Socket: bind failed, error: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted., you'll get helpful results. A port is essentially a channel for communication identified by its number, and it's already in use. It's like if you wanted to call someone, but another person is already using your phone.

[vague hawk]

Would {7777} be the port in use I need to free up?

[fallow orbit]

Has there ever been a real fix other than restarting the game for the "stuck sound looping at some place on every stage" bug?

[foggy thistle]

If you tell me which sound is looping, I can take a look

[fallow orbit]

@foggy thistle hard to describe it, but it sounded like the weeping fungus sound sort of?

I was playing artificer with gummy item, didn't have weeping fungus

Is there a log/whatever I can look at? I already restarted the game

Ah good, the time I was lazy and used the workaround one of the developers is here and ready to help, sorry

[slim ether]

!!! I've had a similar issue

Can be replicated by activating the teleporter and using void fiend's trespass in such a way that you proceed to the next stage before the animation ends - the void noise will keep playing in the same spot until the game is restarted (sometimes audible in the main menu)

[jovial inlet]

same also generally applies for magma worms or golems

its incredibly annoying

sound doesnt get properly deleted on stage transition

[fallow orbit]

@jovial inlet Yeah, I have no idea how unity deals with .... sound garbage collection?

[jovial inlet]

im not sure how it works, but its been in the game since i started playing it back at skills 2.0

[fallow orbit]

oh yeah, this has been a longstanding thing

@slim ether nice bug report, has a way to reproduce it too

[slim ether]

It's probably set up in such a way that the sound loops until the animation sends a signal to stop it (I'd imagine that helps a lot with how the game adjusts animation speeds with attack speed), and since stage transition cuts the animation short, the signal to stop the loop never gets sent

[foggy thistle]

Excellent, thank you

[fallow orbit]

@slim ether Python lets you create a MyClass.__del__ method that gets called when the object is garbage collected. do you happen to know if C# has anything like that ? Maybe a sort of "Oh before I die, turn off my sound ? kthnx"

die in the garbage collection sense, not the game mechanics sense

[slim ether]

I have no idea unfortunately, the only gamedev I did was in Python and Lua

But since most game engines compile to some variant of C anyway then there's definitely at least one way to make sure a whole hierarchy is removed

[fallow orbit]

I know the game is C# + Mono

the Mono stuff was .... I am not sure how it is wired in.....

[echo sundial]

when i try to launch the game it shows me a loading screen with the risk of rain logo with a red exclamation point and simply doesnt launch. the screen just disappears and nothing happens

nothing in task manager and steam doesnt show it being played

i think its also important to mention that i have no 3rd party mods added just the base game and dlc, ive also updated my drivers and looked at many forums trying to fix this

[vague hawk]

So, this is a bit of an odd one, but I can't find any system in my network using the port. Looking it up, I found out Terraria uses the same port for multiplayer, and it was able to open and host a server without an issue [image]. Risk of Rain 2 opens the other ports just fine, it seems, but doesn't seem to make an attempt at 7777? Or can't, for some reason.

I'm going to disconnect everything but this PC and see what happens.

[foggy thistle]

Check the pins. If that doesn't help, please attach your Player.log file. You'll need to go to #roles to be able to attach files

[echo sundial]

idk what check your pins means sorry

[foggy thistle]

Hm... I'm not sure...

[fallow orbit]

@echo sundial the thumbtack icon at the top right of this chat window

[foggy thistle]

No worries, they're messages that are saved at the top of the channel

[echo sundial]

ah okay i thought it had something to do with game files and i was like wtf lol

so ive already done a lot of the pins suggestions but when i look at my player log the most recent activityu says "ERROR: SymGetSymFromAddr64, GetLastError: 'Attempt to access invalid address."

[foggy thistle]

Yeah, that error doesn't really indicate what might be causing the issue. There's a good chance it's hardware related, so pay close attention to the suggestions for fixes for graphics cards, monitors, drivers, etc.

But if you attach the full log, that might give more clues

[hearty mural]

hey, not sure what channel i'm supposed to post this since i'm not too sure if it's a bug or if i'm stupid

but i just got to the Planetarium and the Voidling isn't spawning, so i'm kinda stuck here

so idk if i'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug and i'll have to end my run

[foggy thistle]

#ror2-tech-support message

[foggy thistle]

Also, it doesn't spawn as soon as you reach the donut. Have you tried walking around?

[hearty mural]

yeah, i walked around jumped around, jumped off a few times

[foggy thistle]

Looks like you've got mods enabled--could be an issue with mods

[hearty mural]

:( rip

i got like 2 mods cause i was afraid it was gonna mess something up but i guess it messed something up

do i still keep the stuff i unlocked in the run?

cause it was a 2h30 run and i got so much stuff

[foggy thistle]

Yeah, you should

[hearty mural]

ok, thanks for the help!

[pine plaza]

dumb question, is a config file supposed to exist? i can't open the in-game settings without crashing so i wanted to edit them in the file but there's no config file where it should be, only a server config file.

[shrewd edge]

check third pin @pine plaza

[pine plaza]

oh, thanks

[scarlet ermine]

Hey guys I cant delete my profile even when hovering over delete? Also deleting the xml file doesnt work either.

[ancient flume]

I am having the same problem. I haven't seen any of the devs acknowledge it yet though.

[scenic jolt]

When will Risk of Rain 2 be in epic games? Never?

[jolly thorn]

I can't change my dpi settings I don't know where to look either

[stuck nebula]

When dlc is out for console if im not wtong

[scenic jolt]

When will Risk of Rain 2 be in console?

[stuck nebula]

No specific date, buts gonna be around summer (if its in q2)

[scenic jolt]

In SUMMER!?

[jolly thorn]

I see

[twilit jungle]

I have been having troubles with the multiplayer system and most times it just kicks me from the lobby, it sends me to the main menu and there is this weird thing that happens, i'll send a screenshot. Is there anyway that I can prevent it from happening, i have tried making a lobby with a code but that didn't work. Can someone please help. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/559902278018924557/952809059562688552/Screenshot_217.png

[azure swan]

I've had two crashes today specifically in Rallypoint Delta 🤔 both were using mods. One was with Commando, other with Bandit. There were not many enemies on the map, and I wasn't doing anything in particular, just sprinting around. Is this part of the log a clue for anything?

[Error  : Unity Log] NullReferenceException

[blissful isle]

can someone help me with setting up a dedi server

[orchid flame]

hey does anyone know why i cant delete a corrupt player save file?

[azure swan]

Same thing happening to me, think it's a bug

[cyan topaz]

Does anyone know the best guide on setting up a server? I am having major issues.

[hybrid obsidian]

Hey guys, I'm coming back to risk of rain after couple months to play this new DLC. However, my artifacts aren't showing up? I ran a normal monsoon run to go find a artifact like anyone would, but it still didn't show up after I obtained one? I've tried uninstalling the game, running it as admin but its doing me no good.

[mossy dragon]

If you don't mind doing this you could edit your save to give you all the artifacts

[hybrid obsidian]

how so

[mossy dragon]

Let me send a link

[hybrid obsidian]

thanks so much man

[mossy dragon]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1704500228

You can edit only the artifacts if you'd like you don't have to do everything

[hybrid obsidian]

ill give it a go thank you bro

[hybrid obsidian]

thank you so much dude it worked!

[mossy dragon]

No problem!

[eternal linden]

check pins. there's a decent guide there.

[jovial inlet]

it should also be noted that the save editor has been updated to include SotV achievements so that should also work again

[dull cedar]

is there a plan for a patch? boght the dlc since it came out cant play it. it crashes on startup and ive tried deleting game updating drivers everything... people here told me to wait for patch but is anything like that planned?

[ember elk]

hello, hopefully this isn't a repeat, but for some reason I cannot get a "Logbook - NEW" notification to dismiss, specifically only for N'kuhana's Opinion. Any way to get that to go away?

[tall lily]

Does anyone know why this keeps happening when I try to join my friend, it happens to him as well

[tall lily]

Like I was able to join a random lobby ONCE and now I can't join anything. I just get sent back to the main menu or I get the same screen

[raven steeple]

My game crashed during a run, when I tried restarting the game it wouldn’t load. After restarting my laptop the game is starting, but with severe frame lag. I did a file integrity check and Steam said it was fine

[long jacinth]

I downloaded the update ror worked, but when I bought and installed the dls, I go into the settings for the crash, select a new Persian, the crash I go into the race, or after 10 seconds or after the first shots, the crash, what to do before that, I calmly played ror, I already set another direct and in cfg dug and reinstalled the game and already reinstalled Windows, it still crashes.
Help please.

[jovial inlet]

check pins

[jovial inlet]

also check pins

[jovial inlet]

im very sorry but i cant make much sense of what you are saying

if you are looking for general crash solutions, check pins

[bold stream]

i think he got same problem as we do

he's russian btw

[jovial inlet]

did the new thing that was discovered not help you?

[bold stream]

me?

[jovial inlet]

where you imput a launch command

yeah didnt you have issues like that?

[bold stream]

yeah

what launch command should i write in?

[jovial inlet]

its listed in the pin

seems to be related to AMD specifically but couldnt hurt to try if you dont have one

[bold stream]

which pin should i check?

[jovial inlet]

number 3

[bold stream]

oh i found

thanks

alr lets try

[tall lily]

do you guys know anything about the multiplayer issue I'm having?

[jovial inlet]

#ror2-tech-support message

best i can do im afraid

connection issues arent very easy to fix

[tall lily]

I'll take a look

[bold stream]

Oh my god

[jovial inlet]

did it work?

[bold stream]

No f way

Audio died

[jovial inlet]

dang

so close

[bold stream]

Its back

[long jacinth]

sorry, I'm from Ukrainian, I don't speak English well.
I updated RoR2 and bought DLS after installing the DLS the game stopped working normally. I go into the settings the game crashes if I go into a single player game at the character selection stage it also crashes

[jovial inlet]

ah, that makes it very clear

the 3rd pin has a bunch of fixes for DLC-specific crashes, please try those out

and no worries about your english, i just wanted to make sure i could provide the right help

[scenic jolt]

Well...
Ror2 in epic games store release in april-june

[jovial inlet]

yes?

[bold stream]

@jovial inlet thank you so much man

[jovial inlet]

that was announced by suncles

[bold stream]

I enjoy railgunner so much

[jovial inlet]

dont thank me, thank the person who found this

[bold stream]

who

[jovial inlet]

this good person

[scenic jolt]

And i can hope for april right?

[jovial inlet]

i cannot say unfortunately

i believe it was scheduled for late april, early may

but please dont take that as truth because im not very sure

[faint igloo]

@bold stream Привет, у тебя какая проблема была?

[long jacinth]

what is 3rd pin

[jovial inlet]

#ror2-tech-support message this one

[bold stream]

Ребят давайте тут не писать

[jovial inlet]

the link should take you right to it

[scenic jolt]

Ок

[bold stream]

Thank you so much dude

[scenic jolt]

Are you dont have info or its secret information

[jovial inlet]

i dont think its secret info

they just arent announcing it when they cant be sure

you can always ask suncles though

the output logs are outdated

the player.log is the newer version

Ben has the folder path pinned in this channel

[stray knot]

Well that thing's got basically nothing in it.

[jovial inlet]

huh, weird

[stray knot]

At least nothing that would give actual info.

[jovial inlet]

the game should always be writing one when its running

but whats your issue exactly

[stray knot]

Oh, I guess that explains it, because the game won't even run.

[jovial inlet]

then check 3rd pin

we have a bunch of solutions listed there

hope one of them fixes your issue

[mighty pagoda]

does anybody know if there's a way to reset my eclipse stuff? I forgot there was an update and when I launched modded it auto set me to 8 eclipse on all characters, even on vanilla now

[jovial inlet]

there is, technically

if you are willing to try and edit your save files

[mighty pagoda]

how hard would that be?

[jovial inlet]

not very hard, but its prone to corrupting stuff so be sure to make a back-up

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1704500228

[mighty pagoda]

also if I join my friends, will it use my eclipse or there's? if it just uses there's then I don't think I'd have to do that

[jovial inlet]

this guide describes what lines are based on eclipse levels

if you remove those from your profile file, it should be reset

BUT I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, MAKE A BACK-UP

[jovial inlet]

uses the lowest available

so if your friend is at E3 while you are at E8, it should jump to E3

[mighty pagoda]

alrighty, thank you

[jovial inlet]

also, because this has happened in the past, close the game before editing shit

i hope i dont have to explain why

[mighty pagoda]

lmao, I will thank you

[jovial inlet]

[stray knot]

So I guess I just have to wait for whenever they make the game work again.

[wispy widget]

No matter what I do, I cannot enable cheats in the console, so I can't really change the things I want to... like "director_combat_disable" Is this a known bug?

[proud folio]

Why does the game take so long to load? It's supposed to on an SSD but...

[floral basalt]

cant boot the game at all, just shows this and disappears, failing to load game

dont know if thats a "crash" or something else

[chilly agate]

it's a common issue with the current dlc release, the devs are looking into it but it's taking time since alot of times they can't even get crash logs from players

in the mean time, there are a few fixes in the pinned section of this channel

[floral basalt]

where are crash logs saved? ill have a hunt

[chilly agate]

nah the problem is the game dosen't even generate them

[floral basalt]

oh.

unity issue perhaps?

[chilly agate]

i have no idea lol

[floral basalt]

im betting on unity issue.

reasoning: i do not like unity

[chilly agate]

that's fair honestly

[shrewd edge]

check third pin for possible solutions

[foggy thistle]

Check the pins for the location of the logs + possible solutions

[indigo raptor]

Should I send player.log if the game freezes at the start of a run?

[foggy thistle]

I appreciate you trying to help, but we don't know that the logs weren't generated until we look.

[formal nebula]

i have played ror2 before but havent in a week. i recently tried to run it (to play the new dlc characters) and it opens in a small window (its like the top left rectangle of my screen). I already tried doing the config.cfg file but it does not fix the issue anyone know how to fix this?

[shrewd edge]

• Go to the RoR2.exe in the local files of the game (NOT right-clicking in the Steam client) > right click on it > Properties > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings > check the High DPI scaling override box > switch the scaling from Application to System or System enhanced.

try this

[formal nebula]

the high dpi scaling override box is already checked and it is alreayd set to system enhanced

[cobalt lantern]

Hey has the new update broken custom servers slot limits as I can't get a 5th person in my lobby setup for 8?

[grand jasper]

Whenever I go to commencement, I’m experiencing massive frame drops whenever I look in the direction of Mithrix’s arena. I have to look straight down at the ground in order to maintain a stable frame rate.

Is this an issue with the game or my computer?

This also occurs during the moon detonation event

[spark marsh]

Before i submit a ticket to the gear box support i was wondering if there was somebody who happened to have a solution to a multiplayer issue I have been having. Every time i join someone's game where the character select should be it instead shows an empty screen where the text should be outlining the characters/skills and along the right side where the artifacts should be (and difficulty) its empty "containers" per se. anyone have a solution for this? happened before the dlc dropped and couldnt find anything via google.

example:

[tidal ginkgo]

I ran into this and disabling my VPN solved this.

[thorny spade]

:sobbing: a fantastic run ended because the pathfinding of the void jelly or whatever went through a wall. that's twice now

it's too bad there's not like. a console command or anything to temporarily pass through this wall (w/o mods). i can simply cry as the other new character remains out of my reach :P

[gloomy wasp]

I'm not sure, sorry

[tranquil wedge]

its ok, ill tinker around

see if i can figure it out

[jolly thorn]

I tried all anti crash methods on the pinned messages and none of them have worked what else can I do

game worked fine before I got sotv so I don't think it can be a issue regarding my hardware

[jovial inlet]

then please follow Ben's ping about the dxdiag

[foggy thistle]

It absolutely still can be an issue with hardware (and/or drivers). Components can fail, our memory footprint has increased, apparently our DirectX usage has changed (and is leading to crashes--see the pins about force feature level), etc. We've heard of crashes resulting from completely weird things like having a second monitor or a printer connected to the network. But please send us an email and/or a support ticket to GBX (https://support.gearboxsoftware.com/hc/en-us/requests/new ). If you can attach your Player.log, that can be very helpful.

[dark marsh]

I downloaded some mods and now my game will load to 100%, but not fully launch. I could show my mod folder if needed. I have restarted several times.

[bitter sluice]

I’m trying to play the game modded with my friend whom has the exact same mods yet whenever we start the game my screen is glitched or other things of the sort anybody know a fix ?

[ebon kraken]

@dark marsh @bitter sluice help with modded games is better placed in the modding server; check the pins in #ror2-modding for access

[broken kernel]

im not sure if this is the right channel for this but; i was hosting a 16 player server with the commands earlier just fine, and i tried re-hosting to change the name and stuff and now it reverts back to 4 players whenever i host, but the sv_maxplayers command says its set to 16 before hosting. anyone know why?

[orchid flame]

does anyone know if there is any fix for the multiple profiles and not being able to delete them?

[eternal linden]

I'm guessing that everyone that is having this problem hasn't checked their network NAT type, port forwarding ports, or anything like that, But I can say with a clear conscious that this bug seems to be directly caused by some sort of internet problem, whether through Proxy, DNS, NAT, or what it may be. I say this because on my 5G hotspot through my phone I have this same problem, however my phone does not support TCP protocols. With my 4G LTE hotspot through my tablet this problem no longer arises as it does support TCP protocols. So take this what you will I have tried this work around many times and always works for me. I understand that a lot of you aren't truckers and therefore do not solely depend on truckstop wifi or mobile hotspots, so... yeah. This has been the fix for me though and as I said it's probably due to some sort of issue with your internet

[dark marsh]

Yeah that was gonna be my second idea, just curious if this was a vanilla bug

[nocturne bloom]

Is there any way to get ror2 to generate a crash file? my pc just freezes and I dont think I can get any logs from it. that or i'm just not looking for the crash file in the right place, maybe it changed with the update?

ive done a fresh install of my os and i think the problem is with some piece of hardware but im really not sure how to find out what is causing the issue

[jovial inlet]

not in that sense

the player.log should still be written though

[nocturne bloom]

yeah i can locate the player.log, output_log.txt, & player-prev.log

[rich nymph]

I get the same issue on my laptop since the update! Would love to know a solution as well

[steady topaz]

@jovial inlet hi, do you know if kick/ban command bugged?

[jovial inlet]

i have no clue

i never use the console in game

[steady topaz]

@foggy thistle sorry for ping, but there appears to be a issue with console commands: ban_steam and kick_steam
Both returning Client not found, even if steam_lobby_print_members used to get user id.
Could you please check that? Is it a bug or feature were disabled?

[mossy dragon]

Never been here for a while lol

[maiden compass]

ok so i just installed Linux, and i made sure to turn on proton, but whenever i open the game it just leaves me at a 0% loading screen

[tardy plaza]

real quick, what's the launch property that stops crashes with an AMD gpu?

[visual nebula]

So I've got 4 corrupted profiles. I don't care about them they can be gone I don't need to recover them but I do want them gone. now they're just 4 corrupted files that I can't delete in game nor outside of it. the del button does nothing sadly any way there is a fix for this or a planned one?

[jovial inlet]

well i mean, game isnt made for it

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you can try looking into the pins and try whats possible on linux

[jovial inlet]

listed in the pins

[tardy plaza]

[raw salmon]

Please help!!! I haven't been able to play the game since the update came out. It keeps crashing during the beginning cutscene. I don't know what to do to solve it.

[stuck nebula]

I just have a habit of checking this channel

[stuck nebula]

Please check pins :)

[indigo raptor]

Why is water purple?

[bold stream]

Low graphics

I'm wondering, I just got a 3070ti and I get very minimal (like 20fps) performance difference between ultra settings and everything off/low

Even with it reasonable, I only get like 70-80fps

[clever trellis]

Can someone help me with this issue? Water on Titanic Plains and Wetland Aspect is a solid pink like this, along with other things like Sky Meadow's teleporter and the entirety of Newt's shop. My settings are NOT set on low as shown here, and I have no mods whatsoever.

I've already: Verified game cache, reinstalled the game, reinstalled GPU drivers, moved game drive location, restarted PC. Every other game I play is fine so I doubt this is my GPU acting up.

[wraith fulcrum]

I'm not super sure what is happening but my game has crashed twice tonight after about stage 4. I was playing railgunner on monsoon with command and sacrifice both times, but otherwise the crashes happened after stage 4 on different environments.

I saw a unity loading thing on the second one, in case that is important.

[steady topaz]

That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey, I have a slight problem with the Log Entry for N'kuhana's Opinion in that it won't mark as being read no matter how many times I read it

I will go check...

OKAY THAT FIXED IT! Thank you!!! God thank you so much

I simply had to disable that AMD thing

[latent vessel]

there a way to certified disable controller support?

[orchid flame]

i think i might have found out why there are save profiles that are corrupt and cant be deleted, i think they are there after i stop using cloud saves and tried to delete the profiles and ive been trying all day to clear the appid remote files with powersell and im having trouble with it not picking upo the the program files x86 location. Any help would be nice!

sorry for the repost i just wanted to add that picture

[supple basin]

can anyone help me with this, for some reason at some certin stages thse kinds of..bright things start acting up and its hard to see, i have no ide a what is causing this (playing modded)

[jovial inlet]

does what?

the pink water?

[iron pelican]

My friend is having save file issue but the game is not allowing him to delete the old savefile

[heady river]

Just bought the game and it crashes after the intro cutscene

[jovial inlet]

check 3rd pin

[pale vessel]

my friend and i are trying to multiplay but when we start the game one of us get kicked out and goes back to the main menu

[spark heron]

hey I have changed my dpi scaling but I cant play with my friends that want to play modded risk of rain 2 is there anyway I can play modded ever again. Because if I don't change my dpi scaling the a small window pops up where I see the ror2 logo with error and vanish again. I can however start the game on r2modman after I have done the 3rd pin but the mods doesn't show up instead only vanilla.

and obviously I picked mods that work for my friends

[tall lily]

Hey does anyone know how to delete my profile data

I was a massive flid and installed a modpack with the unlockall mod in without me realising and I don't want that

nvm

[jovial inlet]

best to ask the modding discord, pin in #ror2-modding

[jovial inlet]

currently bugged

but i believe you can do so via steam cloud

if steam cloud lets you select specific data but i cant speak from experience on that

[jovial inlet]

thats good to know

im not gonna add a disclaimer since it doesnt happen for a vast majority of people though

limited characters in a message and what have you

but its good to be aware of, thanks for notifying us about it

👍

[tepid token]

I have the pink water problem after the AMD fix

is there any solution? bc if I remove the fix the game crashes

[hoary gull]

Hey can someone help me out I have this bug where I can not choose a character or ready up to play a game and its started since i bought the expansion

[echo hinge]

hey guys, any of you know whether it is possible to load custom fonts for making custom translations? some of the characters show us as "?"s even with the correct file encodings
if not, any workaround for the missing characters, apart from not using them?

[pure cliff]

What kind of fix?

Oh, i saw it nvm

[jovial inlet]

@foggy thistle sorry for the ping but this is quite something

could you have an idea as to why this happens?

(happens after applying the AMD launch parameter fix)

[shrewd edge]

.

[jovial inlet]

that doesnt explain this weird issue though?

[shrewd edge]

it was in response to someone having the issue

[jovial inlet]

oh wait actually it does explain how it works

[shrewd edge]

i'd assume it has smth to do with unsupported shaders in lower feature levels idk

[jovial inlet]

but how would we fix it then, im not smart when it comes to this kinda stuff

[icy furnace]

Looks like I forgot to provide my log! Whoops! 😅

[odd venture]

Nitpick: I don't suppose there's any way of falling back to the system mouse cursor instead of using the in-game one?

[willow pine]

Whenever my friend joins me he gets kicked out to the main menu when I start the session. When I join him, the same happens. I have played this game for a year and have never experienced this until he bought the game a couple of days ago. He hasn't been able to play any multiplayer game with me or anyone else because he keeps getting kicked to the main menu no matter who he joins/invites. How can we fix this?

[honest steeple]

Whenever I try to launch RoR2 it won't start. When i view lutris logs i see this error "ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgamemodeauto.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored." after a bunch of "gamemodeauto:" would appreciate some help

Edit: installed lib32-gamemode, no longer get this error but game still refuses to open.

[hardy flicker]

My Risk of rain 2 wont open and I have tried all of the suggested fixes what should I do to fix this

[heavy depot]

So me and my friends are trying to play multiplayer but when every time the 1st friends tries to make a game or join a game he gets this screen. We've tried fixing it for an hour or so but nothing works, renistalling the game, turning off the pc, making a new profile. We need help

[heavy depot]

read up top to see if there's any fix and it doesn't look like it

Hi, I tried to modify my lunar coin count to do some speedrunning, and now all of my unlocks have been reset, does anyone have a 100% save file for survivors of the void?

No matter what I do I can't get rid of the 'new item' notification in the logbook for jade elephant, I have no idea what to do, the only odd thing I've noticed is it doesn't play the sound effect when I click on it but otherwise seems to work normally

[lean cloud]

my friend is trying to open risk of rain 2 and its giving him some sort of error loading screen thing and hes reset his computer his internet and has unistalled the game and reinstalled it so what can he do to fix it

[wise steppe]

is there a way to make the game borderless fullscreen

[bold stream]

Try 3rd pin

@bold stream turning off fullscreen mode still locks my cursor in the window without doing something like pressing the win key

You can try config

[vagrant raptor]

hello, I tried to play the simulacrum mode but it never start when I click ready, is this a bug or do I have to buy this content?

[keen maple]

friends game keeps freezing and it kicks everyone out, after like 15 minutes it fixes but then it happens again. any clue why or how to possibly stop it from happening?

seems to be at random intervals, we can typically still move around and stuff but it tends to kick people out 1 by 1 slowly

[prisma horizon]

Hey so im trying to delete a old corrupted profile from when i first started playing the game

[icy furnace]

Same problem with me and N'kuhana's Opinion

[orchid glacier]

Hello, i just purchased risk of rain 2 for my friend on PC. When trying to make a lobby we can connect to the intial lobby no problem. Once we go to character select screen whoever isn't the host cannot connect and gets a screen with 3 blue bars on the right hand side of the page. Anyone know what could be wrong with his game/PC? My game works fine and i can connect to others. He is not able to.

[tame jetty]

Can confirm I am the friend that this is happening to. I have tried re-installing steam, re-installing RoR2, checking my firewall settings, etc.. still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[plucky sonnet]

Hello I am having trouble connecting to a friends game every time I join them I get stuck on black screen while they are able to play the game as normal I am only able to press esc to open pause menu to go back to main menu or quit. it does this every time. how can I fix this?
I have tried reinstalling game and no luck

[zenith aspen]

Hey, so for some reason, my user profile has corrupted - I literally did nothing except change the number of lunar coins I had, and now it just shows this...

I have no idea what's gone wrong here... I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and there was unfortunately no change

[agile coral]

My game loads up slowly into the cutscene when it never did it before

[zenith aspen]

That's just a general thing with the new dlc I believe

[agile coral]

i had to fix some locked stuff with a mod, and now when I play on vanilla it just does it, it never went slow before

[zenith aspen]

Huh weird

[agile coral]

accidentally unlocked all, and i fixed it now and now it loads pretty slowly

idk why

i should probably fix the cloud / verify maybe

[zenith aspen]

See I tried doing that with my profile issue

And it didn't help

[agile coral]

hmm

[undone solar]

mouse wont aim at anything, but works in menu. can use left and right click, but aiming and looking around doesnt work

[drowsy flax]

so im in simulacrum right now

and it says 3 remaining, even though theres nothing

the zone closes in but no damage indicators anywhere

[jovial inlet]

why you always make a backup

anyway, we have a pin with the save editor

[desert dragon]

oh, so the incredibly slow inital load is just a thing now?

i was hoping i'd just accidentally broken something

[patent marsh]

hey, my friend is having trouble lauching the game. This shows up and the game doesn't launch. Is there any known fix ?

[jovial inlet]

check 3rd pin

[jovial inlet]

i guess so yeah

my guess is that it has something to do with the unity engine being updated but im not sure on that

[desert dragon]

i was hoping i'd broken something

[jovial inlet]

maybe it is, who knows

[cunning shoal]

I'm getting this same issue with Gasoline, N'kuhana's Opinion, and Jade Elephant

Is it possible to disable voting/blacklist certain artifacts entirely on your server?

[loud hamlet]

So me and my 2 other friends tried playing tonight and every time we would reach Sky Meadows whoever wasn’t hosting would lag. Every other stage would be perfectly fine. We even tried switching hosts and the same problem occurred

[obsidian skiff]

Anyone have any idea why my server wouldn't allow more than 4 people to join when it's showing and set to a max of 8?

Can Someone Help me Perhaps I have been Running RoR2 for a While on my Laptop (EliteBook 8760w) and Since the SotV Update everytime I switch Characters or Look around the Map my Game Instantly Crashes and before SotV I have never had a Problem I could Run Mods Without Problems etc. any Ideas ? Or maybe it has to do with me not being able to Update to Windows 11 ? Thx in advance!!!

[jovial inlet]

check 3rd pin

also, the w11 stuff has nothing to do with it

[lyric yoke]

[fallen pulsar]

is it going to be fixed?

[jovial inlet]

probably

[fallen pulsar]

alright I hope so

[loud hamlet]

Anyone?

[orchid flame]

Can somebody help me? On my ps4 it won't show the new dlc anywhere, so i can't download it. Is it not on PlayStation?

[static pulsar]

On PC, multiplayer has significant lag on players that aren't the host. We've tried switching hosts and when the joining player is in game there's about a 3-5 second lag between when an action is taken and when it actually happens. For example; Hit 'e' on a chest to open, it takes time to open, once item it selected (artifact of command) it takes another 3-5 to pickup. Also stuff like loader's actions will be in real time except for the grappling hook which will fire and then take 3-5 seconds to pull in. Half the time it just cancels

We've tested connections, internet latency, verified integrity of game, prioritized game with task manager and lowered graphic quality but the issue still remains even on the starting levels with low mob count.

I didn't see another post like this so decided to make one, sorry for duplicate if there is any. This issue only started happening around 3/17. When the void update initially came out this wasn't an issue.

[orchid flame]

Can somebody respond

[jovial inlet]

it is not

[orchid flame]

ok

[loud hamlet]

I’m having the same issue. I posted earlier but haven’t had anyone respond. Well, we only experience lag on Sky Meadow for people who weren’t hosting

[spark palm]

my friend downloaded the update and his game seems to lock up at 100% loaded when first launching

any suggestions? he verified files

[slow basin]

on PC, since SotV update the game freezes for 3-5 seconds consistently in multiplayer for both host and other players. So far we've have had it happen on Siren's Call and Sky Meadows.

[short jasper]

i just downloaded the game and it played great for about 20 minutes until i exited out of it and tried to open it again. but when i tried to open it, a window popped up with the logo and an exclamation mark next to it for like 2 seconds before it closed. the game wont open at all. I have tried unintlalling it, i checked and verified the game files, and enabled it through the firewall. help!

[wanton pebble]

I disabled steam sync, deleted these save files from the /userdata/x/x/remote/UserProfiles folder, uninstalled the game, and reinstalled. All of that to get rid of the extra profiles on my main menu screen, can someone help me with this? This is exactly the clutter I wanted to avoid lmao

[tepid flint]

has anyone gotten the fix for this yet? ive been having this problem for over 2 weeks now

[short jasper]

me too

Hey yesterday i unlocked acrid skin and now it's gone. I don't know what happened im 100% sure i had it. What can i do besides unlocking it again?

[steady topaz]

Save edit. See pins

[weary terrace]

Can i do that on console? (Xbox one)

[steady topaz]

no

[weary terrace]

Cool

[steady topaz]

all that's left is to check if this particular unlock is bugged on console and unlock it again if not.

[weary terrace]

Well i will do that thanks mate

[elfin rose]

is there a fix yet for the random crashes?

[jovial inlet]

check pins i guess

random crashes isnt a very helpful description, can you be more precise?

[elfin rose]

Did that, was waiting for the patch but seems like it didnt fix it either. Mailed support but still no help :c
Thats it... its random. Didnt notice a pattern. So far Ive mostly gotten blue screens along with a few regular crashes mid run.

[jovial inlet]

and the blue screen code?

that should give us a hint in the right direction

[elfin rose]

Uh dont think i remember it. Okay then Ill just play and wait for it to crash again xD Ty

[agile sundial]

i have picked up the bulwark ambry's log like 15 times but i still havent gotten the log in my game. any ideas whats up?

if anyone can help with that? im down to edit the text file if i need but idk where even to find it for environment logs. id appreciate the help!

[jovial inlet]

it was deleted from the logbook

professional oopsie by the devs

[agile sundial]

wait for real?

so like its just a bug waiting to be fixed? if so thats a relief

[jovial inlet]

yup

[agile sundial]

i actually just checked my files and it says its unlocked but ofc not there

oh goodie, thanks!

[feral kite]

• If you have an AMD card and experiencing crashes, imput "-force-feature-level-10-1" in steam launch parameters (without the "").

what are the steps to access "steam launch parameters" to make this change?

[lyric yoke]

go to steam

right click on risk of rain 2 and click properties

I forgot the name of the tab but find one with launch options on it

and type it in

[heavy depot]

I want to bring attention to this, we have still not been able to fix this and all we've found out is that this makes no sense
What we have tried to do:
Reinstall game,
Firewall shinanigans
Anti virus Shinanigans
Verify Integrity of game files
Reinstall again
Steam sync files
Us reinstalling the game

Please for the sake of Mithrix I bought the game for the three of us so we can play and we can't, at least one of us can't.
I will tell everything I know about the bug.
we have player 1, player 2 and player 3
player 1 is bugged, when he creates a game (character select) while player 2 and 3 are in his lobby they get the screen that was posted and cannot procced.
When players 2 or 3 create a game (character select) player 1 gets the empty game of dispair.
When players 2 or 3 create a game and player 1 tries to join them trough the join game button the ping says N/A and cannot join.
When player 1 creates a game same happens but on players 2 and 3's sides.
BUT Player 1 can join any game that player 2 and 3 can join, and then they can play toghether.

I have read the pinned comments and multiple steam and reddit posts with no luck, I have tried to contact the support team to no response.

[cold shell]

@foggy thistle Heres the file you asked for a while ago, sorry that i havent sent them earlier,(its about the black screen issue in multiplayer with certain players)

[foggy thistle]

@shrewd edge 's assumption is almost certainly correct. That magenta color tells me that the shader most likely isn't supported by that DirectX feature level, but another feature level might work better for them. Users should be able to look up their graphics cards to see the maximum supported DirectX feature level, and then they can adapt the command line fix to set to the correct feature level.

[jovial inlet]

#ror2-tech-support message

im not sure if you have read through this

but it may help

[foggy thistle]

My best guess is that your issue is related to mods

[cold shell]

Yeah it probably is, the weird thing is that im able to play with one friend no problem while i cannot play with the other, both got/installed the game at the same time(at the time that my original post was) and none of them got mods installed

[foggy thistle]

Oh, wait, the log you sent is an old output_log from before the SotV update; since the update, the correct file is named Player.log (in the same location).

Also, the log gets overwritten every time you start the game, so it won't show the issue if you didn't encounter it the last time you ran the game

[mossy halo]

@jovial inlet where is the Compatibility Window ?

[fickle vigil]

i got disconnected twice i was able to rejoin once but next itme this is showing

is ther anyhting i can do or can i not rejoin anmyore

[jovial inlet]

its a right-click on the ror2.exe

not in steam

[mossy halo]

I Did the Previous Steps tho and It led me to a Small Window where it shows 5 Tabs called General , Release , Security , Earlier Versions , Adjust @jovial inlet

Oh nvm I clicked with Rightclick before now i Left clicked

[mossy halo]

@jovial inlet I forgot to say I also Crash when I go in my Options Menu

and it still crashes I did the DPI thing I checked in my Mods folder there is only a Editor File Called enabled Mods where there is nothing written inside

and for the last Points I have a Config.cfg file I dont have a second Storage Disk I have a laptop so no multiple screens and I dont have a AMD Card

[jovial inlet]

i see, thats a shame

could you try the AMD card thingy? even if you dont have a card from them it may still work

[mossy halo]

How do I do that

How do I access the Steam Launch parameters

@jovial inlet ?

Found it I think

IT FIXED IT

@jovial inlet I DID IT

Thank you so so much

[jovial inlet]

youre welcome, i guess

[foggy thistle]

It might be a good idea to remove the AMD bit from the pinned message. The manufacturer is kind of a red herring; it really has to do with the specs of the graphics card

[jovial inlet]

updated

seems like the issue isnt limited to AMD cards anyway so the info was incorrect regardless

[tardy knot]

Is there some kind of way to patch that fix into the game or something so lazy/incompetent people can get the fix?

Or people not in this discord

[jovial inlet]

its not that easy

[tardy knot]

That's what I thought

[jovial inlet]

Ben mentioned they were working on it, but troubleshooting takes time

so it will come of course, but not tomorrow

[tardy knot]

Ok

[hasty gyro]

Just did the -force-feature-level-10-1 thing and the game is now working and not crashing, however water on some stages is now purple not sure why. Is there a fix to this? Here's 2 examples i took while doing a test run to see if the game'll crash

Sorry for bad screenshots

[bold stream]

Low settings i think

[hasty gyro]

do you know which ones i should bump up?

these are my current ones

[tardy knot]

Try texture resolution

I don't know if that's the issue but it seems plausible

Whenever i change to a different one the game just freezes when i play singleplayer, I still hear the music and the audio

here's a screenshot

I've tried 11-0 and 11-1

Both same results

[jovial inlet]

may i ask what that overlay is

[hasty gyro]

Msi afterburner

Riva tuner

[jovial inlet]

mkay

that shouldnt cause issues then

could you try the other directx's then?

as in, 10-something

actually wait nvm

[hasty gyro]

the 10-1 works but the water's pink in that one

[jovial inlet]

10-0 shouldnt work i think

[hasty gyro]

I could try 10-0

[jovial inlet]

please do

[hasty gyro]

Alright

Also ive just noticed that i the musics stops when i press esc while the game is frozen (not sure if its important)

[jovial inlet]

it normally does that when you pause

[hasty gyro]

The game doesnt freeze on 10-0 however the water's still pink

Just got titanic plains as stage 1

[jovial inlet]

weird

be sure to check your GPU driver

both that it is up to date and, on occasion, requires a checkmark for something like directX support

[hasty gyro]

My card hasnt gotten new drivers since 2015 So i'm pretty sure its up to date but ill check again

[jovial inlet]

thats probably the issue then

:/

[hasty gyro]

So it could be because its an older card?

The game worked fine before the dlc came out so its weird that its not working properly rn

[jovial inlet]

it isnt

the Unity engine got updated with the patch

so that means its framework may have changed to a state your GPU cant handle well

Ben is investigating this issue but im not very smart when it comes to Unity itself, so i cant give you a proper answer

[hasty gyro]

Okay that's fine. At the very least i can play the game now unlike when it completely crashed before

Thank you for your help

[jovial inlet]

you're welcome

[true nest]

So uh. I played RoR2 with a buddy the other day just fine.

I loaded it up today and it won't let me launch any lobbies.

SIngle or Multi doesn't matter. It just won't play.

Start button is there. I can select character. It just won't let me play the game.

Anyone know what might cause this?

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Still didn't change anything.

[cold shell]

@foggy thistle this the correct file(sorry for pinging so mutch)

[true nest]

Ok. So the issue seems to be with simulacrum mode.

I can play single player just fine.

[foggy thistle]

Do you own the expansion?

[true nest]

Nope

Is it an expansion only thing?

[foggy thistle]

Yeah, there's currently a bug where the button is appearing for everyone

[true nest]

Ah so the reason I could play it before was coz my buddy has it?

repost because my friend and i havent seen our issue addressed

[foggy thistle]

Yep

[foggy thistle]

Well, we haven't patched the game since March 11th, so no need to repost. However, latency issues that don't coincide with a release are a pretty good indicator that it's unrelated to the game itself.

[mental narwhal]

So I managed to take a Simulacrum run up to stage 235 and it lagged so much that the game crashed, which I was kinda expecting to happen at any boss wave at that point. Probably worth noting that I'm almost certain it's based on enemy count, maybe something chaining out of control? Not sure if this is even something to be fixed and I'm not really expecting anything for me, but I thought it might be at least useful in terms of how the game performs in extreme scenarios? (any tips that could push it further would be cool tho)

One of the interesting things is that when the game was in its "seconds per frame" moments, my GPU usage would actually drop below 10%. Not entirely sure what the CPU was doing but most cores also dropped in usage I think. I also didn't notice any high memory usage until the slowdown that managed to crash.

Settings at the point it crashed were all at minimum. Resolution was 1280x720 since that's half of my 1440p monitor, and framerate was limited to 59fps. Vsync was disabled but my monitor has Adaptive Sync, which is on.

Player.log was 669MB (nice) so here's a drive link instead of the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q2AL-m1YfSCnCc7eXee3GNX0DyE72sZy/view?usp=sharing

System specs: Ryzen 5 3800X, 16GB RAM, Nvidia 1060 6GB (if any other specs would be useful lmk)

[plucky sonnet]

Hello I am having trouble connecting to a friends game every time I join them I get stuck on black screen while they are able to play the game as normal I am only able to press esc to open pause menu to go back to main menu or quit. it does this every time. how can I fix this?
I have tried reinstalling game and no luck

[polar torrent]

anyone know of any issues since the expansion that would lead to extreamly long load times, its gone from like 10 seconds to no less than 5 minutes, nothing takes more than a minute to load on my pc and thats generous. ive tryed full reinstall, veirfy, no mods are active.

[low mountain]

Game load times seem to have gone up for me aswell

[normal garden]

anyone know if I can get my profile back?

[jovial inlet]

unlikely

[jovial inlet]

you can use the save file editor in the pins

[jovial inlet]

likely due to the unity engine update

will probably be optimized in a future patch

[normal garden]

thanks man

been sitting here for like 2 hours

[wet plume]

Hey, my friend is having an issue where his game doesn't save his unlocks after he closes it and opens it back up

[orchid flame]

what video card is this

[hasty gyro]

Radeon hd 6670

[orchid flame]

no guarantees but you could give a go at some unofficial drivers such as guru3d Nimez drivers/Amernime drivers

you'll want to wipe the old drivers using DDU (display driver uninstaller)

more info @ https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/3rd-party-driver-amernime-zone-radeon-insight-22-2-2-whql-driver-pack-testing-features-22-3-1.436611/

budget builds official has done a few videos on these drivers AND linus just did a video about them today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YDy6ygIjfY

[jovial inlet]

this can indeed work but i personally do not recommend it

mainly due to the fact i have no experience with 3rd party drivers and MANY causing issues for people that have reported issues here in the past

[orchid flame]

considering the latest driver they are currently using is end of life from 2015 i feel its worth a shot (though as you said, before reporting new visual bugs in the game, may be worth checking if its an issue with 3rd party drivers or not)

[jovial inlet]

i simply dont want to hand this out as a solution because its not official software

i have nothing against the people who made it, in fact im very impressed, but personally i dont want people to install or edit things that are potentially not safe/working

[mossy dragon]

I have 10 Lens Maker Glasses but I'm not getting crits on every shot

[bold stream]

I think its okay that game loads for a long time after dlc

[polar torrent]

I've booted it no less than 10 times since getting the dlc and it has taken easily more than 3 times as long as any other game on my PC including cyberpunk and Skyrim. Its definitely an issue

[bold stream]

Probably optimization issue

[wind halo]

why will risk of rain 2 crash after the sotv patch? also im using windows 7

[bold stream]

Can you tell more about your problem?

Also check 3-rd pin

[tardy knot]

Why tf are you using windows 7?

[bold stream]

Why should you care, i use that too

[wind halo]

cant update to windows 10 + windows 10 is too laggy

[wind halo]

i did literally everything there. doesn't work.

[bold stream]

Even amd card thing?

[wind halo]

the game opens, then there's the not responding and the black screen and as soon as the percentage and that pink character appears, the game crashes.

[bold stream]

What gpu do you have?

[loud turret]

Hi, whenever i get to the asteroid stage my fps drops from ~90-100 to an unbearable low of ~20 frames per second. anyone know if there's a setting to combat this problem?

[wind halo]

Intel(R) HD Graphics Family 4400

[bold stream]

Your problem appeared after dlc?

[wind halo]

no, after patch.

also void fiend was missing his chest in the pre-patch dlc

[wind halo]

so ig its because of my gpu?

[bold stream]

Try 1-st pin and pre-dlc pin

[bold stream]

Maybe

[fervent wren]

How host more than 4 players wothout mods on dedicated server right now ?

[jovial inlet]

yeah

integrated graphics dont work well regardless, a dedicated GPU is recommended

[wind halo]

no risk of rain 2

[jovial inlet]

the game is already CPU intensive so dedicated graphics have very little room to work

its unfortunate, but it is what it is (and also why the steam page mentions a dedicated GPU as a minimum)

[wind halo]

wait i meet all the minimum requirements

[jovial inlet]

you do not?

integrated graphics are neither an Nvidia card nor AMD

[wind halo]

nvm i dont meet it

[jovial inlet]

some CPU's are built for it by those manufactorers but you have an Intel CPU

[wind halo]

my laptop had a sticker saying: AMD radeon graphics hd 8670m

[wind halo]

but it isnt actually an amd

[jovial inlet]

what

you sure you just dont have it turned on?

[wind halo]

wait lemme check...

[jovial inlet]

it would be weird for it to say that if you mention you use Intel graphics

[wind halo]

nope, only intel graphics

[jovial inlet]

wack

[wind halo]

when a fucking sticker lies to you

[jovial inlet]

do you have an AMD driver anywhere?

[wind halo]

nope

[jovial inlet]

if not, look up the card mentioned on that sticker and install the software for it

if its still being distributed anyway

[wind halo]

god im so confused now

[wind halo]

alright ig

652mb... holy

[jovial inlet]

thats not a lot tbh

drivers are usually around 3gb or so when fully installed

[wind halo]

woah

[carmine fractal]

I'm with a couple friends trying to do multiplayer, but it's not really working. We can all get in the lobby just fine, but when we go to choose characters, one of us gets this weird screen and can't actually do anything. If that one person instead tries hosting the lobby, then everyone else gets this screen.

Any ideas how to fix this? we've tried a few different methods of inviting each other to lobbies or just using the multiplayer lobby browser, but my friend is still unable to join

We're also trying to check VPNs and port forwarding settings, but it hasn't worked

[static pulsar]

That's the weird thing though, if the game hasn't updated since the 11th and our issue didn't start until the 17th it's a mystery as to why it happened to both of us simultaneously. It seems like the host, regardless of who it is, doesn't experience the problem and only people joining do. I've seen other forum posts on steam stating the same or similar issue and everyone's answer is just bad internet and lower your graphics settings but that's not satisfactory. I'm not the developer so what do I know about how the game runs but if the answer is "the game is fine it's just your independent machines having the same problem at the same time " then we'll just have to wait until the next patch to see if that's true. I work in IT too so I understand there's not always a clear answer, it's just a really weird problem to have happen

[foggy thistle]

If it's network latency, it's not two independent machines simultaneously having the same problem by coincidence--the issue is the connection between the machines. The host is the server, so any server authoritative action doesn't need to travel over the network before being reflected locally, which is why only clients are having issues.

[static pulsar]

Yeah I understand it's P2P hosting, it's just that pinging and running tracert on external IPs didn't show any latency higher than like 43ms which in the past has been more than adequate. Like you said though it's not like it's just coincidence. We'll look further and when it's resolved i'll let ya know. Thanks for your time

[hollow temple]

I came to report the same thing, created a new profile and the same thing happens

[woven spindle]

Hi
so, i've been having this issue since the DLC patch update happened, have been trying to play the game but i've gotten stuck immediately after the intro cutscene
the game launches fine for the most part, but when getting to the cutscene, it always freezes at the same exact point, on the second line of dialogue it manages to write "This planet... It" and it entirely freezes at that point (screenshot for for reference), waiting after that or trying to skip the intro movie by pressing space twice just leads to a Unity error, and skipping the movie at any point before that freeze just causes a permanent black screen, but in both scenarios the game is still working in the background, the noises of the letters in the dialogue appearing still play after the freeze, and skipping the movie does load the main menu into a point where the buttons can be interacted with, although none of the menu is visible in the slightest
i do not have the DLC, neither bought, nor installed
the game worked perfectly fine on the device before the update

any help with troubleshooting this, and maybe even fixing it, would be appreciated

[foggy thistle]

Can you attach your Player.log? See the pins for instructions, and you'll need to go to #roles for permissions

[foggy thistle]

Can you attach your Player.log? See the pins for instructions, and you'll need to go to #roles for permissions

[woven spindle]

will do

here's the log from waiting for the unity crash

[foggy thistle]

Check the pins regarding the force feature level command line argument--that might help. But your VRAM is lower than our min spec card's (see the steam store page), which appears to be an issue here

[woven spindle]

will do, though i somewhat doubt the VRAM is the issue, given that i was able to run the game perfectly fine before the DLC's update, and since i don't currently have the DLC i don't quite know how that could have suddenly come into effect, but if it is, then i'm wrong lol

that fixed it
thank you so much!

[foggy thistle]

glad to help!

[fallow cedar]

Need some help here with the multiplayer mode. My friend and I used to play together with no lag at all. We bought the dlc then there comes the 10seconds lag. The game was completely unplayable in multiplayer, but works flawlessly in single player. We weren’t using mod, and we’re in good internet connection. We play in Taiwan, southeast Asia region. Pls help! Thank you!

[slender ember]

Hey y'all, my friend is trying to join me for a multiplayer game but any time he tries to join the lobby he's met with this screen

Is there a known fix for this?

Additionally, whenever I join him, I get the same screen

It eventually kicks us out

But my partner doesn't experience this issue when joining me, or when joining him

We're both on the same game version, both have verified files, reinstalled the game to be sure

Issue only seems to exist between him and I, while my partner sees no issues with either of us

[wise mica]

Is there support for modded on this server or no? because my game is having a fit and I need help.

[elfin rose]

Ive been getting seemingly random crashes. Before the patch it was just bsods but its not as frequent now. Its just crashes like this now. These happen at random times. Sometimes i got till wave 50 in simulacram with no problem other times it happens on wave 10

[steady topaz]

If you stuck on this black bugged character selection screen: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/559902278018924557/955989996697956352/unknown.png
There might be a couple issues with your game:

0. Turn off crossplay from game settings.

1. You used mods some time ago, it went well and then you took a break, returned without updating mods or its contigs and this happens.
   Your modded api is outdated, you need to uninstall the game with steam and then manually wipe the root folder of the game to delete leftover mod files. Don't worry game progress saved in other folder in steam userdata, however gfx settings will be reset.
   Do not install mods manually to avoid this situation. Use r2modman to care for you and integrity of game files.

2. You played the game before, and it was fine, but after you changed something in your OS, for example installed Microsoft Visual C++ for 2019 or 2015-2019 year, your game shows this screen.

Likely librarys that contain instructions for game engine went corrupted. This might happen even without changes in your OS. Fix is easy, just uninstall said Microsoft Visual C++ libs from your programs and features menu in system menu. Download and install both 86 and 64 of those https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
In rare cases uninstalling throws an error, but still says press ok. Make sure it is actually uninstalled.
Same with installation of new ones. Read before you click. In both of those Ccleaner helps, it's a free software. Easy to use, press registry, run check, press fix for all. Restart pc and retry installation.

3. Most common issue — poor connection between host and you (client). You're always a client if you see this screen, host sees normal character select menu.
   Game runs on p2p connection type, with help of steam to find servers. Inotial connection thru steam might be good, but actual p2p connection failed to pass data from host to you. Most likely you forgot to turn your VPN service off, refused connections for the game in windows firewall when you run the game 1st time or misconfigured your NAT.
   First of all try to fix your network, if was working even an hour ago doesn't mean it is actually working. If you have dynamic ip (most of us do) Your connection session to your provider changes each 24hr and each reconnect. There is limited number of true ip addresses, so ISP uses technology to temporarily assign to you virtual ip, it is unique only whithin your particular netvork, external internet refers to you by ip provided by your ISP with additional numbers — port.
   Game uses 7777 port, it must be open or forwarded. Also try Upnp if your router have that option.
   If this doesn't help you need to get a bit more techy.

Download radminVPN, it's a virtual lan network that installs its own adapter and talks to your router in order to establish connection between another radmin user. They provide theyr own ip, much like your ISP.
Host needs to open the console in any place of the game with ctrl+alt+' button combo and thennuee host 1 command to start lan game.
Clients need to open the console and use connect 11.11.11.11:7777 command with use of radmin provided ip pf the host.
It works in most cases, but if your network is very restrictive, there might be relayed connection, that means much more delay.
Ask your provider for static ip option, talk about p2p connection problems, usually there is a paid option. Static ip keans no ISP induced obstruction, make sure your network, antivirus or firewalls aren't blocking data before that move

Read above @hollow temple @carmine fractal @slender ember

[steady topaz]

Correct. See some info above.

[jovial inlet]

ill be using this as the new 682

thanks for writing all that chief

[odd venture]

Adding to this, yesterday a friend of mine was attempting to host through a VPN and the rest of us as clients would be met with that lobby bug. When he tried to join me as host instead, he got the bug. After he tried cycling through different VPN servers, the issue resolved itself.

[jovial inlet]

VPN's in general cause issues, we recommend not using them altogether

[rustic vale]

Void seeds aren't collapsing because of one last void monster not dying yet also not appearing on the stage. This seemed to start becoming consistent after having had it occur many times in a row. Here's the link describing this issue probably less indepth but you get a look at what else could have caused the problem. #ror2-bug-reports-pc message Here is also the player log.

[unique temple]

attempting to play the game w/ controller via Steam is. not behaving right. the game won't let me bind buttons, and playing the game presents me with... This, in the attached image. player.log is attached

after checking with other games, my own Steam settings, and so on and so forth, all is working elsewhere as it should, so it's localized to RoR2

[eternal linden]

Any chance we can get @steady topaz 's messages pinned, mods/devs?

[hollow temple]

How do you delete the root files?

[jovial inlet]

no gamepad binding

[plush tree]

@jovial inlet, We have two known solutions for the topic 'no gamepad binding'. Would you like to view them? (Y/N)

[jovial inlet]

y

[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]

ill edit mine

[unique temple]

yeah okay, but

the game won't let me bind buttons

[jovial inlet]

check the autosupport message below

:^)

[unique temple]

none of the above applies

i don't use vjoy, and the only """gamepad""" is the Xbox One controller i'm attempting to use -- of which i cannot unplug for obvious reasons

if it helps, i do technically have other gamepad-esque programs and whatnot installed, but they are not active and require me to open them for their drivers to be used

[jovial inlet]

those can still cause issues

Vjoy for example just messes the game up, and only uninstalling it solves the issue

[odd venture]

Are there any tweaks specific to this game or the unity that can help with performance that may be less well known?

I know about the "-window-mode exclusive" launch parameter for instance which can help a bit with perf and input delay.

[idle summit]

hey yall i got a weird visual glitch and idk how to fix it

[quasi crow]

Anyone else having save corruption? My Run History doesn't show like 2/3rds of my runs, and beating Eclipse 1 on engineer didn't progress it to 2. The run doesn't even show up?

[inland wasp]

So my friend gifted me Risk of Rain 2 last night and I've been experiencing frequent crashes followed by an incomprehensible unity error that occur at random.
Farthest I've been able to get without a crash is the third teleporter event. Earliest crash happened less than a minute into the run and happened less than an hour ago as of writing this. I'm quite new to PC gaming, so I can't make any sense of crash logs and have no idea how to make a DMP file readable.
Please I need help, I don't want his money to be wasted and I'm having quite a bit of fun so far.

A similar unity error happened back when I played Unturned, but I never figured out how to fix it.

[stuck nebula]

check pins

[inland wasp]

aight

[jovial inlet]

this can be fixed by enabling soft particles

however, the checkbox was removed from the settings screen (on accident, presumably), so you have to go into [Risk of Rain 2\Risk of Rain 2_data\Config\Config.cfg] (Open the Config.cfg file with notepad). There, look for the line {r_softparticles 0;} and change that 0 into a 1, then save the file and reboot the game

[inland wasp]

yeah so I don't know what I'm looking for

[jovial inlet]

3rd pin

or the 5th pin, since the DLC crashes are mostly experienced on start-up

[inland wasp]

Update: been in game for about 4 minutes so far, if I can get passed the 3rd teleporter event, I’m calling it a win

[inland wasp]

Half hour later still going good

I’m calling that a win

[jovial inlet]

very cool

[proper fox]

So uhm? Any ideas?

[foggy thistle]

If you can post your Player.log (see pins), that would be helpful. You'll need to go to #roles for permissions to post a file in the channel

[proper fox]

There ya go

[rich nymph]

I have the same issue since the DLC! any fix found yet?

I am trying to delete old profiles and reset my game data, but have had 0 success. I have tried the simple delete profile option, but nothing changes. Been trying to clear the Steam cloud files, which also hasn't worked... PLEASE HALP!!!

[lilac scroll]

my game was just working and i closed it and when i came back to try and launch it again it just opens up a window for a second and does nothing, ive tried reinstalling, restarting, and updating my driver. if someone know how to fix this message me please

[steady topaz]

Steam library > right clic on game > settings > local files.
You're now should be looking at your game's root folder.

[steady topaz]

Restart steam client. If didn't fix send fresh player log.

[hollow temple]

If you have uninstalled the game and gone into Steam > common > steammapps > RoR2 and deleted that, is it the same thing?

[steady topaz]

@hollow temple you can install it back to be sure.
Im on a phone and writing those by memory. But steam installs all games into a specific folder you can look up in its settings. User have a numeric id and each game have it too. So it should look like 35853646/475355060/ i dont remember bumbers.

[hollow temple]

This is what it brought me to, I've deleted this a couple times and reinstalled it a couple times

I don't have a VPN and the person I'm trying to play with has been able to play with 2 other people with no problems. I did use R2modman in the past but I also uninstalled that when I had issues.

[steady topaz]

@hollow temple looks like im still half awake. Previous message is wrong, its a path to save file. You found the game root folder.
First of all, do you see this screen in singleplayer or when trying to connect to a friend's game?

[hollow temple]

Trying to connect

And when I joined said person and two other people, they couldn't do anything

It's from the newest patch, because we were able to play on DLC launch together

[steady topaz]

Then mods have nothing to do with it. You don't need to uninstall it.
Are you familiar with p2p?

[hollow temple]

No

I'm also trying again without the DLC installed to see if that changes anything

[steady topaz]

@hollow temple this have nothing to do with dlc or any update really, as any of those didn't change how connecting works. It is a connection issue between you and your friends.
P2p means peer to peer, its a direct connection and it requires there is no obstruction for data to pass from your pc to your friends pcs.

[hollow temple]

It worked this time

Okay, I lied

I hosted, it had a valid screen for me. Not for them, they invited me, invalid screen for me

[steady topaz]

@hollow temple i need you to ask your friend with whom you have a problem to go to http://www.myip.com and fetch you his external ip, there is a copy button.

Then you need to open the windows console (cmd.exe)
Simply press winkey and R at same time, window pops up, tupe cmd.exe there and press enter

[hollow temple]

The long one or the short one?

[steady topaz]

Black console opens and there you need to type in with your keyboard:
Tracert 192.168.1.1
Use your friends external ip for numbers

[steady topaz]

Pardon?

[hollow temple]

I asked because my IP was super duper long and theirs wasn't

That's all

[steady topaz]

It's ipv6 a newer version, wr need short ipv4 that looks like number string with dots

[hollow temple]

I typed that and then pressed enter and it's doing the hops thing

[steady topaz]

Lets wait

When its done, expand the console window to fit all the hops press alt+printscreen and send me it to a personal message with ctrl+v

That's taking a while.. i can already see data loss

[hollow temple]

I sent it

[steady topaz]

So it is data loss, you were unable to reach your friend pc even for 30 hops, and attempt timed out.
I see data past your router and went missing then picked up after 60ms, that's a long time for internal isp network, usually its 10 times less or even just 1ms for that to route to external internet.

No vpns involved, no public wi-fi (same with work networks) ?

[hollow temple]

I don't have a VPN, they might (but probably not), I have a family that uses the same wi-fi but it's password protected

[steady topaz]

Open 192.168.12.1 in your internet browser, does it ask you for login and pass?

[hollow temple]

I dm'd you a screenshot

[steady topaz]

@jovial inlet so ugh..
The person above have 5g home network. There is no wired connection between his router and his ISP. Its wireless to a tower in his area.
And by the looks of it people complain for beeing unable to use tcp/udp at all.
The way 5g deals with signal just breaks this feature of ipv4. Im not familiar with those networks at all and i found this page. https://community.t-mobile.com/tv-home-internet-7/port-forwarding-on-home-internet-35486
By the looks of it people won't be able to use radminVPN too.
So there, a possible dead end for yhis particular issue with the game.

[upbeat acorn]

ok so right now I'm working on trying to fix some stuff involving risk of rain 2 and that problem is also caused by running it in high dpi compatibility so what I'm curious about is why does turning on high dpi compat setting fix the crash from ror2 start up is there a reason that it fixes it and are there alternatives thanks for anyone who is seeing this and thanks to any replies

Hey, trying to play a run of simulacrum with my friend - both of us on unmodded clients. Reinstalled game from steam, verified game files, deleted all files I could find and reinstalled... every time we try to do anything in multiplayer together it looks like this

#ror2-tech-support message

[blazing linden]

Thanks for the tips here, I'll try to update my VC redist stuff... Already tried full uninstall/reinstall, definitely not a connection issue as I'm trying to play with my roommate lol

[jovial inlet]

does this message apply to you?

[blazing linden]

No, we're hard wired over 10gig Ethernet through a more than overkill router

Internet speeds are like 400/30 but we're on LAN so local link speed should be the only issue there

(it's not from a cell tower either, regular copper)

[steady topaz]

The facts above have nothing to do with how game trying to connect you.
It still uses internet connection if you did it with steam.
Refer to my previous message on how it is actually a connection issue, just instead of radmin's provided ip use your local IPs whithin your lan network. You can look it up in network settings, in adapter settings or properties.

And even more, if youre under the same network you still need correctly set port forwarding so data meant for pc 2 wont end up blocked by pc 1

[steady topaz]

That's not something that HG or any other game dev team could solve easily.
It is ISP fault to fail on data compression and handling of tcp/udp. They however managed to implement ipv6 right and given that it is still underdeveloped tech to replace ipv4 most of internet using now, despite beeing utter mess of obsolete addressees and ports. Devs still have to rely on steam to deliver data in ipv4.
The day ipv6 come to each home isn't close and it was like that for years now.

Sooooo since the DLC has been released, my game always crashes whenever I launch it either on the main menu, on the character screen or right in the beginning of a new run. There is no crash log, but I can just attach the most recent error.log:

[jovial inlet]

check 3rd pin

[queen dome]

Already tried some of those but will try the rest and see it, thanks.

[bold stream]

Game crashes when loading screen appears

Restarting steam helped

[crimson arrow]

can I get some help with crashes

[jovial inlet]

check 3rd/5th pin

[jovial inlet]

^ same for you, if it occurs again

[crimson arrow]

jesus what a headache

I did a clean reset of windows and this still doesnt run

[jovial inlet]

are the steps not clear enough?

if its too complicated, please let me know

im gonna make/have dinner first but id be happy to answer your questions when im done

[bold stream]

I fixed it

Something happened to steam cloud

[steady topaz]

@foggy thistle Hi. Bumping this question. Any info?

#ror2-tech-support message

[foggy thistle]

It's on my list of things to investigate, but we've had other issues taking priority, so no update yet.

[orchid flame]

I was doing some testing on a few new profiles but i cant seem to delete them! anyone know how to help?

[blazing linden]

Last night I tried a latency test between our internal IPs and was below 1ms for 99% of pings - how would you recommend testing? I'm not at home currently, but can try some stuff later. I've used Radmin in the past, but I doubt it would make a difference in this case because we are already on the same local network

Please ping with responses - working so I may not see stuff immediately

[hazy kraken]

@orchid flame I found RoR2 profiles at: Steam > userdata > [########] > 632360 > remote > UserProfiles ..
my game got corrupted recently so I had to find this info in the save editor pinned post. hope that helps

[jovial inlet]

should be noted that its currently bugged and that save files cannot be deleted from in-game, will be fixed soon ™️

[raw salmon]

Hello. Is it possible to get a refund on the DLC. I haven't been able to play since I updated the game. I've tried every fix under the sun and nothing seems to work. At this point I really just want a refund.

[shrewd edge]

when have you bought it @raw salmon

if less than 2 weeks just go through normal refunding procedure yes

[autumn lotus]

a friends game always crashes and he gets this error, can someone tell me if they know how to fix it?

[shrewd edge]

have they tried verifying game files @autumn lotus

[autumn lotus]

lemme ask

[autumn lotus]

yeah they did

still crashes

he has an error with unity and if its not unity its that one

[jovial inlet]

check 3rd/5th pin

those have many solutions

[autumn lotus]

the 5th are for the game without dlc?

[shrewd edge]

they are fixes that applied before the dlc and still should

dlc is built into the game now anyway

[autumn lotus]

i think his problem is a computer thing, since other games are crashing too

[blazing linden]

yo @steady topaz did you have any other troubleshooting steps for making sure my connection to my roomie is fine for ror2?

[solemn herald]

Does the game freeze every couple of seconds some stages in multiplayer for anyone else?

[slender tiger]

Can't get in a private lobby with my friend

Wus goin' on

[steady topaz]

@blazing linden see previous message with 3rd point, where it describes how to open the console and use radmin with a game, do same thing, but instead radmin provided ip like you normally do, youse your network local ips. No radmin needed.

[blazing linden]

So run traceroute?

Trcroute rather

Er was it tracert

Anyway trace route correct?

[steady topaz]

@blazing linden dude...
Just wait till im home, you lost in 3 trees. Ill provide step by step then. About 20m

[blazing linden]

Sure sounds good

If you can just post the commands that need run in terminal I can get whatever output for you once I'm home here. I'm also like 20-30min out

[blazing linden]

am home now, ping with commands to run

ope realize i didn't ping @steady topaz

[blazing linden]

if there's router settings or port forwards to apply can do those too idk

okay so i've got upnp on, port 7777 shouldn't be manually closed by anything, my nat type is open and i manually set it that way

https://www.tweaking4all.com/network-internet/pfsense-strict-nat-xbox-one/

these instructions were used to open my NAT

ips are static assigned via DHCP reservation

[steady topaz]

@blazing linden sup.
Are your friend around?
Open the game normally.
Press ctrl+alt+` in that order. (last key is under esc on eng keyboards)
Game console pops out.
Leave it that way for now.
Go to windows desktop.
Select Start > Settings > Network & internet > Ethernet.
Under Properties, look for your IP address listed next to IPv4 address.
Copy that for you and for your friend.
If you're going to host you do not need those, but your friend needs your ip.
Go to the game console and type in
host 1
Stop there.
Your friend needs to open the game console and type in
connect 192.168.1.5:7777
He must use your internal lan ip not external one, not radmin one.
Address must be finished with :7777
He needs to press enter and game should connect.

If not:
Try to set your network to "home". Some routers even warn you for something like your printer wont work in other network type.
Try to unisolate clients. This might be excessive, as it usually apply for wi-fi only, in that case all connected users (mobile or laptop) gonna see each other and be able to share data, for good or for bad (viruses included).
Ports shouldn't be a problem, aswell as NAT, because router (a good one) already understands that there is no need for that. But you might need to allow 7777 port in tcp/udp for going to itself. Like tcp/udp 7777:7777 You might need a rule to throw it, or open it.
Some routers manage firewalls too, i nthat case go to your router security settings (firewall) and check the game both for private and public networks. Looks like this:

[blazing linden]

testing sorry

gonna be a second

[blazing linden]

Both computers set to private networks, both computers allowed ror2 through both public and private firewalls, tried connection through the terminal in game and still the same thing

Also replaced Ethernet cable

[steady topaz]

@blazing linden can you see other pc from your network at all?

[blazing linden]

Yes, can ping and tracert gets there in a single hop from my router

Same network

20 feet apart

[blazing linden]

So, after troubleshooting we found that the game connects fine if steam is not online, and we use the terminal to connect... but if steam is running and the client is connected through steam then the game doesn't let us in

idk if anyone else has any guidance but i think we're both just confused to high hell and back at this point as to why it isn't working

[orchid flame]

yoo everytime i click on the start button it crashes right when it say 0% loading

[jovial inlet]

check 3rd pin

[orchid flame]

where do i check wheres properties

[jovial inlet]

the ror2.exe file in your system files

[orchid flame]

oh ok

[jovial inlet]

you can find it via steam's local files tab

that takes you straight to the game's data folder

[orchid flame]

cant find compatibility tho

[jovial inlet]

can you show a screenie of what you see?

[orchid flame]

okay

[jovial inlet]

thats the folder

not the .exe file

the ror2.exe has the ror2 logo, its inside that folder

[orchid flame]

oh

[jovial inlet]

how dare they name everything ror2 in the files :^)

[orchid flame]

wait how do i switch application to system and system enhanced?

nvm im dumb

[jovial inlet]

same

[orchid flame]

how do i verify the files using steam?

[jovial inlet]

go to the local files tab

there should be a button that says 'verify integrity of files' or something along those lines

[orchid flame]

it crashed again

it didnt work

hello

[jovial inlet]

there is a list in the pin

just follow along with every single one you can do

and if something is not clear, feel free to @ me and ill explain

[bold stream]

What option makes water pink?

[jovial inlet]

directX

aka the launch imput

the link leads to a message with Ben explaining it/the wikipedia page

Ben also said that this was an unintended side effect from updating the unity version and is being investigated

[bold stream]

Oh damn

So amd users will have pink water?

[jovial inlet]

it turned out it
A) isnt limited to AMD users
B) is primarily an issue for older GPU's without proper drivers to support them

[bold stream]

Alright, thanks

[jovial inlet]

as in, drivers that have had their support ended many years ago and thus no longer have a manufactored driver to fall back on, requiring either the use of one that is very outdated or made by a 3rd party

[orchid flame]

actually i remembered last night i used the unlock all website

[jovial inlet]

the save file editor?

[orchid flame]

yea

[jovial inlet]

shouldnt matter

[orchid flame]

i cant find the old file though

[jovial inlet]

if the game cant load a profile it will simply generate a new one and mark the old as corrupted

[orchid flame]

but i tried all of the things on the list

it still crashes

i cant get through the main intro

[signal sonnet]

My friend bought ror2 and he lives in Australia me being in the USA when he clicks on multiplayer it gives him a error message

[loud turret]

Hi, my game always runs buttery smooth except for when i get to the sky meadows stage. After a minute my FPS continuously drop below 30fps until i leave the stage. Does anyone know why or has a fix to this issue?

[jovial inlet]

then check 2nd pin

[jovial inlet]

Gup, likely

[loud turret]

is there a fix?

[jovial inlet]

you can tone down some graphics

other than that, not specifically for this issue im afraid

Gup is simply too beautiful for machines to handle

but its been reported and will likely be investigated

[smoky blaze]

Hi all. I've encountered the "no gamepad binding" bug that others have previously reported, but the two known solutions that are often suggested have not worked for me at all. I don't have Vjoy installed on my PC and disconnecting my gamepads doesn't do anything - as soon as I reconnect them, the bug happens immediately. Can anyone offer any support? Thank you!

[plush tree]

@smoky blaze, We have two known solutions for the topic 'no gamepad binding'. Would you like to view them? (Y/N)

[smoky blaze]

N

[jovial inlet]

do you have any gamepad drivers installed?

vjoy is just a common one, but literally any can disrupt steam

[smoky blaze]

Thanks for the swift response. The only gamepad drivers I would have installed would be the ones that auto-installed when I connected my gamepads for the first time.

[jovial inlet]

do you have your controllers enabled on steam?

as in, does steam recognize your gamepads

[muted slate]

Question:
I tried opening my game today, and it didn't work at all (it launched perfectly fine yesterday and every day before that)

• Steam thought the game had launched (ie shows the blue button that says "stop"), but there is no game
• The execuatable is running when I check task manager, but it's not really doing anything (low cpu/memory usage)
• Steam cloud sync does it's thing each time I attempt to relaunch it, which seems normal
• Verifying the game files does changes nothing
• Deleting the main exe and verifyin the game files does nothing
• i tried double clicking the executable myself, and it does nothing
• I'm currently in the process of reinstalling the entire game (which will take a while)

I realise now I should have checked the logs before reinstalling.

Has anyone had this issue (now or prior)? I want to know if it's just me

[jovial inlet]

this is a first

please refer to the 3rd pin, anyway

[smoky blaze]

It does recognise them, yeah.

[jovial inlet]

and what kind of gamepad are you using?

[smoky blaze]

Xbox 360.

[jovial inlet]

that shouldnt cause issues, hmm

no gamepad binding
