Well it functions but apparently the music cuts in and out and I’d imagine the framerate gets a bit choppy
Never knew that
Yeah it is really not enjoyable
You can get used to the lag but the lack of music really kills the immersion and intensity
Speaking of the music I found the soundtracks and love the names of the songs
Insane how hard they fumbled
Hi all.. I’m new to the game. I have played thru a few matches but I don’t really know if I understand the game.
You just try to collect upgrades as fast as possible and beat each level? Idk. It seems like if I join other players, they’re always up to something and I can’t figure it out, I get ditched for “not playing right” or their way or I’m not doing something I should probably be doing
if you're playing in random lobbies yea thatll happen especially since youre new and don't know much about the game
i suggest using the "looking for group" category of this server for whatever console you play on to find friends to play and help you
anyone play on xbox???!! i’m new to the game and get bored solo lol
Hey, chat, just a quick question. Have devs acknowledged the problem of broken curve aiming on controller?
Elaborate
Yeah, I don't think that was a change they made
I haven’t noticed any changes to aiming at all, on Xbox at least
same
I did noticed the aiming feeling a bit different on the sots release update
The newt transcends time and space
Are there anyways to optimize the game to prevent lag?
On console? No
Damn, i guess I’ll make every run borderline unplayable
The Xbox version definitely shouldn't be borderline unplayable 🤔
Anyone up and play on PlayStation rn?
DEFINITELY turn off money and xp effects in the settings
It improves performance by a ton and those visual effects are pretty much completely irrelevant to gameplay
I just some how manage to make the game lag every run to the point the teleporter takes 10 min to do
perhaps try this
How much do you loop? 😭
Well last run I was on stage 51 if that helps
And that was when i decided to end the run
Ok yeah obviously the game is gonna struggle at stage 51
The game wasnt built to handle THAT much
Surprisingly the game was mostly just fine, it was really only on the teleporter events when it would lag
Can someone please help me get acrid in multiplayer ik struggling even in drizzle
My tag is the same as my username can someone please help?
Every version of risk of rain runs horribly after like stage 25
Doesn't matter how powerful your system is
You can make it work with curated builds tho tbh
99 billion or smth idk, its so high that by the time you reach it you wont even notice
Me and a friend had different results on PS4 and PS5 version so it might depend on console
It's above quadrillion, not even close
The strategy is to get 65 safer spaces then just stack shaped glass to 125 and also get damage multipliers like tonic, watches, AP rounds, crystals
Uhhh, it's at least a multiple of 2^128
But I've reached the cap before 125 shaped glass so it might not even need that many
How did you not die?
FMP and new chronic expansion might actually be better than tonic tbh
I shoulda tried this with old chronic tbh
I used command and stacked 65 safer spaces for 1 frame recharges and also got a bunch of dios by stacking regenerative scrap and going to the bazaar between time
How bazaar
Trust me, it wouldn't make that much of a difference
You cannot tell me it WASNT funny
Old chronic was poorly implemented, but was funny
Old chronic carried me through the remaining acrid skill unlocks I had to do 💪
I'm biased but I think old chronic was the single worst implemented item in all of risk of rain
Sale star my beloved
Antler shield
I feel really strongly about that item
The humble noxious thorn:
(It didn't function)
Wtf old noxious was like really fine
Antler shield was still designed/implemented/functioned better game design wise
Out of all old items noxious was one of my favourites
Antler shield was dogshit but chronic was both extremely underpowered and extremely overpowered
old snake eyes...
I just mean when it didn't work for half of the time of the update
I think unstable transmitter was worse
Well yeah but thats a gearbox programming flaw not a thorn flaw
Unstable transmitter was my least favorite item in the game
I actually liked old transmitter
Yes unstable transmitter was pretty rough...
Old transmitter made me want to die any time I had it
ok but snake eyes...
Blocked and reported
Most of the time it actually did save me from blunders
Insta scrap item, it nearly killed me multiple times
And also makes void fields horrifically bad
Yeah vields were horrid with it lmao
Old transmitter was so good it made the game so boring at the same time
How the hell did I forget that item, I must have wiped it from my memory
😭
-# snake eyes
It was so horrid you tried to repress it
Old snake eyes like RoR1?
I think it was fine
Ngl I now kinda prefer the original one instead of the regen elixir current transmitter
Old transmitter was always kind to me
yea, they gave 6% crit after failing a shrine, but winning a shrine cleared all the bonuses
I dunno if I'll ever hate an item more than old transmitter
I don't think gearbox could design an item I hate more
How can we have THIS different experiences with the same item
I wish new transmitter was any good but at least it's not a borderline lunar
New transmitter is not that bad man
i trusted old transmitter to end up killing me
Every time I got in a bad spot snap old transmitter pulled me out of it
It has not once done a thing for me compared to stealth kit and it locks itself out of being scrapped 
My problem with current transmitter is it’s just boring, it doesn’t matter whether it’s good or not.
True I wish they did more with the aura
I NEED 75% barrier transmitter back
I think I had such an unmeasurable hatred for so many sots launch items my heart has never recovered since. I can't even measure which one I hated more.
It got so neglected because of the rage about the barrier, low cd and osp
Like so many other parts of the dlc
Really awesome experience I had was sprinting forward and having it teleport me right Infront of a pit, you can guess how that ended (I was captain)
It would be so awesome if the barrier teleported projectile also
Sots item stacking in general, transmitter aura, fuckass shrine of shaping, way too claustrophobic warp barriers, bugs
Seriously though I demand that shrine to be changed
Shrine of shaping slander
Every time I see it I just look at it like a disappointed conservative dad looks at their homosexual child and just think "why are you here?"
Because like I never need it
It takes loot credits and gives nothing
Bruh
It’s so clutch in multiplayer
Like it feels like they wanted to give you a choice to have death be less risky but also have you get less item rewards
Even when I'm revived by the shrine of shaping in solo I feel bad.
And on eclipse 8 being able to reset my curse has saved me so many times
Except the game decides for you if you get less item rewards and THEN you can decide if you wanna take the benefit or just take the full downside with no gain
Id rather just get put back to the character select screen
I already said this in caps server but like
Remember those golden tp fangs around the shrine?
They coulda just made it so using the shrine puts those fangs on some purchasable interactables
That way you actually have a choice and not just the aftermath of the game's choice
This is just the result of what I like to say a inexperienced/incompetent dev team
I like the idea of "less risk but less reward" but the less reward should not have been implemented in the form of loot credits that you have no control over
The game just says "oopsie 3 less chests now but you can revive for free once on this stage and this stage only"
Someone make a feedback thread about this
Personally I don’t find 3 chest detrimental to the run, just like how other stages have more credit than others. I only lose a bit item but the run is not over.
I'm fine with the revive shrines, honestly
Idc how much is lost
I care that things are lost because of decisions out of my control
Like the game just chooses for you that you take the revive for less items
I cant just say "actually I dont want a revive rn" the game just gives it anyways
Ever heard of rng perhaps
Yeah
Rng should not just be "here have less items"
And this very situational buff in return
Let’s not act like shrine of shaping is the only factor in controlling how many item you get
The way shrine of shaping exists right now just punishes you for playing well
And for playing bad
Dude it's the same amount as a legendary chest
If you play well its just less items
If you play bad its a revive which is useful but also less items which makes you lose even harder
Isn’t that just the legendary chest having way to little credit
If you die you either have a weak run or deserve to get kicked to the character select screen
Like the shrine of shaping presents an illusion of choice
There is no downside to using it, because seeing it at all is the downside
And you cant decide to not have it there
How about a suggestion
At the end of the stage if you have still the shrine of shaping buff you will get extra item or some kind of reward.
1 large chest and a terminal sounds good to me
I love fighting things, knowing my location, dodging things super well, doing epic things
And then getting teleporter cause I happened to get hit and suddenly being disoriented and surrounded by new enemies
Great item design
Shrine of shaping should only take up 1 large chest total tbh
Yeah that'd be somewhat more tolerable
The fact that it's almost 2 large chests feels horrid
Thats better but also very uninteresting
Does anyone have a picture of the shrine of shaping in that old trailer?
Entering rpd with a shrine of order, 2 TC-280 drones and a shrine of shaping
Like dude
Why couldnt the shrine just summon these unused fangs on other interactables when used
Those are the teleporter blocking things
Yes but theyre different
Blocking it from being used after teleporter is on
Are they? They don't look that different
Those are golden and the tp isnt active in the shot
Hmmm
Because the shrine was likely initially intended to be the path entrance as its internal name is colossus entrance shrine
But even then, they coud reuse these lock fangs to penalise you for using the shrine by locking other stuff with those fangs
It was also meant to be used as an exit for the scrapyard methinks
Like all I want is a god damn choice in it
Getting penalised for using the shrine, not for having it appear on its own
Like you can really tell the current implementations of a lot of stuff is just rushed repurposed stuff because the old concepts wouldnt have been ready in time
I hope whatever they got planned next for the game or series doesnt meet the same fate
They've got all sorts of unfinished dlc2 stuff in the code
It's kinda like if every part of SotV was like voidling
LOL
Oh god not this
Why is one of my characters gone
Well without specifics, the first thing that comes to mind is the characters not being available if the DLC is marked as disabled
B
Would someone like to play ror2 with me?
You'll have better luck asking in https://discord.com/channels/417739215355510784/618010151324090370
Thx
Hey guys what are these geodes like in the bazar they added?
Y'all ever just.. Metamorphosis & Evolution?
Destroy 3 of them for a green portal
Crossplay pls
Is risk of rain cross platform?
unfortunately not ...
Haven't gotten them yet
Any LFG?
Anyone want to make mercenary an anime character by giving him a bunch of soldiers syringes
"I sure do wish there was an efficient way to break this concrete"
The humble jackhammer:
Like the log?
Yes
I can only get it if I play with someone who doesn't have Titanic Plains log
It is the only log I do not have 😭
Hang on I can check after I get the slicing winds achievement
Omg flashbacks
We have glass anr command and an equipment barrel so it's free
Oh?
I find it easiest when artifact of is on kin is on because you can just make the enemies jump off the edge
yeah, but in this case you can just grab a tricorn to 1 shot the second boss
HA I GOT IT
Oh I have titanic plains log unfort
can u see the prismatic trial leaderboard on console?
Nop
lame
@floral lark won't admit that chef is bad
He's alright!!
Keep in mind I can dox you whenever I want...
He's saying chef is a good character. That makes me feel sad 😦
I was trying to get lost seers' but I kept getting green void items, it was to test if the instant kill would be procced on myself by the friendly fire that the gilded aspect attack has because it has a non-0 proc coefficient
I don't think lost seers works on players
Otherwise the vengeance artifact would be bullshit
Yeah, I've got 800 hours in the game, there's no way I wouldn't know how crit works lol
Fair enough
Did you get any results?
No, the game crashed shortly after the clip 
Whats the gilded bug
Anyone wanna do some multiplayer simulacrum
Engineer you wanna?
No thanks
Aw
U wanna?
You play on xbox right?
Ye
They play on playstation
Your best shot would be to ask in #lfg-xbox-ror2
Damn
Is it just me or is the audio bugged for anyone else other than me? I clearly turn down the SFX bar all the way and the music so I can listen to other music on Spotify when I'm playing, but I still get specific SFX in game AND from my controller speaker too.
that is divine punishment for turning off the ost
Pretty sure you can lower the controller speaker volume if you're on ps
anyone up for a game?
The RoR2 ost is too good to turn down to listen to Spotify over it 😔🙏
That's the thing tho, the SFX still come on with the controller volume being turn all the way down. So it's definitely something weird going on. Also I like the OST too, but I don't always vibe with it during a run
Anyone else got issues connecting to multiplayer?
Buy ps plus
lol that’s not it thanks tho
Sometimes I could be the connection between the host and the client, if the host of the lobby doesn't have the best internet connection it's going to cause connection issues, same as vice versa, client bad internet connection to host.
I’m still unsure if NAT is an issue in current ror2 but there’s a good chance it is
Yeah, it's the most likely problem that is why I wrote it.
I wouldn’t call NAT “bad internet connection” cause it’s not
The thing, I learned that if you are connected to your router through WiFi, there may be some little hip ups of connection while playing something online, that is why I invested in an Ethernet cable so I don't have those hip ups.
This is just from my experience and from the little things I have read.
NAT guide: Introduction
NAT stands for network address translation. It's a way to map multiple private addresses inside a local network to a public IP address before transferring the information onto the internet. Organizations that want multiple devices to employ a single IP address use NAT, as do most home routers.
Risk of Rain 2 multiplayer works via peer to peer, the host hosts the game (noway) and all other players connect and communicate with the host to play.
Types of NAT
Type A: Open
The most common NAT type and the ideal one for gaming, shouldn’t have any issues to do with Open NAT.
Type B: Minor
Minor restrictions on what can be connected to but otherwise is compatible and fine for gaming.
Type C: Moderate
Not the best for gaming, a moderate level of restriction. You could encounter issues when playing online.
Type D: Strict
Not what you want at all for gaming, very unlikely you will be able to play multiplayer ror2 unless the host is type A (and even then other issues can arise). High restriction on what your device can connect to.
Type E: Closed
Your device cannot connect to other devices, multiplayer will be completely unavailable. Very rare NAT type mostly used in corpo buildings.
Solutions for NAT Issues
Common Fixes:
the most common fix is using an Ethernet cable to directly connect, this should eliminate the most common issues.
Port Forwarding:
There are a few reasons why port forwarding may be necessary, but only do it once you have tried an Ethernet cable. Port forwarding is directly opening ports to connect to others.
Noted
My internet was once so dogshit that my switch listed my nat type as F
Ror2 multiplayer in general has a lot of issues
Welp
20 bucks a year dont know bout the monthly prices
I vividly remember the monthly prizes being around 3-6 bucks
I'd play on switch online but then I'd have to download that latest patch
PlayStation sale
the bundle not being on sale is so funny
call back to a worse time
Friend is looking at buying it on PS cus of the sale, is console still bug ridden?
What's the best yellow item for Rex?
Bearing in mind I don't own either DLC
But I'm using artifact of command to try and get used to using rex
Just don't want to waste a yellow
Uh none of them are bad
It's pretty much on par with pc..? Only difference I'm aware of is some geometry collision, one item not working intentionally and a skin not having proper cape physics
Shatterspleen and churf
And if I remember correctly the xi construct still has an aneurysm (shaking non stop) on console.
Oh truth. Forgot that isn't just a feature 💔
I thought they fixed that one
Nope, at least on Xbox it's still a thing, I played when the phase 2 released and the Xi construct still jiggles like crazy.
Probably a Xbox and maybe ps thing, I remember it being fixed when I was playing.


Guys
My girlfriends trying to play ror2 and it's her first time
But it won't load
It loads for two seconds with the loading symbol
Got to about 34%
Then it cut to a black screen
We aren't sure what's happened
I'm no use because I'm on ps5 and she's ps4
I DID IT I FINALY GOT THE FALSE SON
Nice
Time for the true daughter
Am trying to so this any tips (acrid main)
a easy way i found to kill the false son consistently is to always have a queens gland in your inventory
it feels like the false son is glued to the beetle guard for the majority of the fight lol
Anyone up for a game?
ye
Dawg does anyone know any tips for mythrix i suck
Heads up for anyone on PlayStation. Document all purchases. I have been screwed over twice with support basically giving me the finger. They took my PlayStation plus a month early in January with physical proof that my next payment wasn't until February and now I made a purchase for a game that went through with the money being taken out of my account and then my card say declined and my money not returned or me receiving the product
verticality
When he does his absolutely giant AoE attack you can use volcanic egg equipment for invulnerability 🤷♀️
So... I need help because I'm stupid and I can't read. (Well, I can and I'm actually kind of smart but I can't understand this challenge.) False Son.... How? Challenge says to purify the False Son's heart with the seed that summons the golden stone giant... I killed him while I had it in my inventory... Is that not it?
False son needs to survive long enough for aurellionite to spawn
If you kill him before that, it won't unlock
Egg doesn’t grant you invulnerability
Who do you mainly play?
Yo guys can we install mods in ror2 on console
Probably not without getting banned
I was a pc player but i just shifted to console
My gpu blew up so insted of getting a new one i got ps5
Yo i got a ps5 too

How long have you had it so far?
Now to the real question, can we ?
Probly a year
Not without getting banned
Like by playstation
Im just gonna get that steam console that Xbox is releasing fr
Cause if could mod on that its over
Infinite fun
True
But what you be playing on playstation anyway?
Base game is fun but with mods it the greatest game
Triple A game fr
Recently been playing marvel rivals
Damn. I was using clowns, tons of watches, daggers and that weird white item that buffs damage and procs with clown.
He did not last long. Welp, time to try again.
Clown?
is there playstation and xbox crossplay?
no, there's no way to mod console versions
no, you can't do it at all lol
Well you could if you jailbroke the console, install a different OS, run steam to play ror2, install mods via thunderstore.
But you’d be a dumbass to do that
Bandit and loader but i beat him already
Anyone wanna run it with me I gotta finish my acrid missions
The split screen progress wipe is fixed correct?
Should be
I'm about to do it for the first time so I just wanted to make sure
which dlc do i get first?
or which was released first they all say 8/27/24 on ps store
Chef is a horrendous being and should be put down
i don’t think that’s a dlc
Survivor of the void was released first and currently I do think you should get sotv first
okay 👍

Can anyone on console help me with a quick challenge
Missed opportunity for gearbox to have changed the version to sots launch day
holy peak antler shield role

Alone
I like playing with others, but my fate is... to be left alone... 
Mostly alone, multiplayer is fun with the right people but high ping and frequent disconnect is so annoying.
Direct in an hour surely sots phase 3 gets announced along with an ror2 switch 2 upgrade 

Its so over, im gonna probably miss the direct.
Gonna miss the silksong release date reveal smh
With my friends and solo
Elden ring on switch 2.
I already played elden ring on pc but it is pretty awesome it can even run elden ring also randy pitchfork jumpscare at the direct.
Holy Jesus, it's getting chaotic the direct but they just said that silksong (2025).
I’m more hyped about deltarune
It was but man is that switch 2 gonna be expensive
Yep.
alone cause with others is frustrating
alone 99% of the time and whenever I try multiplayer with randoms it's been mostly drizzle with artifact of command 
And friends rarely wanna join because I play eclipse
Erm guys
It won't give me false son
I'm so confused
I've taken a halcyon seed to prime meridian and killed the false son and stuff
I've redone it twice now and neither time has it unlocked the false son
did Aurelionite actually finish spawning?
does risk of rain 2 run well on xbox one? and is it worth it getting the dlcs+game bundle for 50% off?
Hi all! A few questions about PS5:
How’s the couch coop experience?
Does gyro aim work?
Couch co-op isn't bad but isn't exceptional. I think it's solid enough tho!
I'm like 90% sure gyro aim isn't supported.
It ran decent for me, I have a Xbox One S though.
Gyro aim is only on switch for some reason
how much fps do you think it runs for you? and does it have split screen?
Only new generation consoles have split-screen IIRC. I usually get 60 as my Xbox is capped but usually 30 or so when its struggling lol.
I haven't played a ton of console ROR2 so your milage varies.
ohh ok thanks, last question, is the resolution/graphics ok? cus i hate playing like im using a potato lol
Graphics and res are good! I play at 1440p on PC but I run 1080p 60hz/60FPS on console!
ohh thats prety good ngl, thank youu
Movement controlls and its really awkward
what
Does ror2 multiplayer just not work?
Wdym? It works
There is no cross play if that’s what you’re confused on
The cross play between Epic and Steam is so scuffed it might as well not exist
Does he know?
Oh yeah I guess I wasnt so far off with that joke
Lmfao
Every time me and my friend tried it just says “connecting to host” then forces one of us to disconnect
Are you both on Steam?
Ps5
And online it’s just people saying it’s been an issue with no real fix
Man I wish I could return games on playstation 😞
Is that why I keep getting an error when I launch the game on Steam Deck? My friend got it on Epic and the moment I enabled crossplay in the settings and restarted the game, I started getting a launch error that was pretty frequent. Even disabling the setting now that he got it on Steam didn’t help. I can eventually brute force it after like 5 attempts but I can’t tell if it’s a crossplay bug or something associated with Linux…
I think that might be more on your end, but yes that setting may be contributing
Thanks for the quick response! I’ll fiddle around with it, could be an issue with Steam Deck itself.
LOL I just tried launching it on Deck, haven’t played it there on a while and it booted just fine, no launch error or nothing. Boy who cried wolf

Has anyone else experienced a bug with railgunner. When you ads the game will crash at around stages 3 and 4. I have found this to happen every run with her. I am on Xbox if that changes anything
ugh, who's gonna do it ...
we all know the drill
(nevermind the bot got banned already) 
Another scammer?
I got a question anyone know when their will be keyboard support for console?
probs never
i never got to use it but apparently there was k&m support pre console rebuild but for whatever reason it was removed
How’s everyone liking the update? I haven’t been here in years honestly
It’s fine, I was expecting more but they did what they needed to do. False son still kinda stinks but it’s more bearable in multiplayer.
Having command n still picking useless items is crazy
bro took an 11th 
I was about to write, "I don't see anything that bad in the items he picked" and then Mercenary wrote about the 11th
and my mind just went.
Also that its on bandit
Anybody have tips for trying to beat monsoon I have played the game for 3 years but I limit myself to drizzle and rainstorm until recently pls help.
I misclicked ;-;
Yo
I beat monsoon my first week
^what a helpful tip! /j
anyway, a mix of going to newt altar to dream for comfortable maps, going around 1 item a minute early game, and scrapping most healing / utility into movement / damage is generally a good place to start. that and just playing monsoon enough till you get a feel for how fast the game starts throwing stuff at you
It’s instinct

He also only stacked Watches
If he gets hit with one strong attack -27 
This railgunner build wasnt that bad but I should’ve gotten the teddy bears
(Ik its on drizzle i was testing limits of railgunner it was my first time playing him
Or her idk*
It was also my first time playing the void dlc and i got one tapped by some void attack
hey cool shit! yhe 22 plasma shrimps make me so happy lol. its such s fun item, especially with ICBM & charged perf
her is correct
I haven’t been able to get her past stage 5. Every time I do the game crashes with just her. Maybe it’s because I only play eclipse? Has anyone else experienced this?
The new location of the lfg channel is gonna make tweak
I havent even played any of the alternate game nodes yet😭
Icbm would be so broken if it kept adding more rockets
Also do all the void like “exsplosions?” one tap you
I got trapped between the one smaller explosion that chases you around and one of the monsters😞
When in doubt, just use a DML + Gesture build. Works every time (I beat Commando E3 & E4 with this)
I love my rail gunner (ive played her once on not a hard difficulty with command mode on 😢)
Youre asking the console channel about a pc specific question
Oh thought console meant like computer console
surely 
We need cross play now!!!
Yuh, nuh, never happening I’m afraid
Just finished a GENERATIONAL run on Commando E6 (no loops). I think I prefer False Son as a boss. They way my heart was just pounding in those final moments really solidified it. Gearbox, you guys did such a fantastic job with the rework.
I've only gotten those heart pounds from like... Consort Radahn and Fatalis.

Can anyone help me figure out if anyone’s found a fix for a specific bug I’m new to discord and it’s all a little confusing
eclipse 7 unfortunately ruins this
makes false son spam disable and laser an unholy amount
he never stops attacking during phase 1
so enjoy it while it lasts
Oohh right the cool downs
Try making a report in #1172187541349347429 and maybe you get a respond
Heyo, if I put my ps5 on rest mode with the game paused and not closed will it be "saved" or will it automatically end the run?
If you have the PS5 option to keep games open in rest mode enabled, it will remain as you left it, being paused, but only in single player. It will not end the run.
However, in multi player, it will jump to the title screen
Thank you humble engineer, I'm new to the game and currently got a really good run going with you rn, gott leave for work soon though so it'd be kinda lame to lose the progress
Just looked through the settings and can't find any "keep games open when ps5 put to rest mode" it's probably an automatic function 🤷♂️
If the game doesnt fully close when you put it into rest mode it will most likely just keep your run progress because nothing in the game changes
It is a part of the "features available in rest mode" which is found within the power saving settings, found in the "system" part of the settings. The "system" section has a white cube in the settings menu.
Hell yeah can't wait to finish work and get back home to continue the run 
Time to ask some build questions in the appropriate chat
Tried it and it was still awesome. Even with Aurelionite I was able to doge the lazers.
Oops I didn't mean to ping ya, my fault
Anyone trying to co-op?
Oof, only done simulacrum a few times. Endgame gets pretty silly with Command enabled....
I find it so strange on how beating eclipse doesn't give you any anything else than e8 at all.
So many other game rewards you for winning on harder difficulty with a badge or something else. Hollow knight pantheon, celeste b or c side and sts acension are great examples.
You get a badge for sts ascension?
Celeste sides are just different levels and more content tho tbh
Hopoo was too scared to make the game a hardcore game so they didn't lock anything behind eclipse. Probably thought it'd be more successful catering to casual gameplay but yeah lame. Sts did their climbing difficulty better
You are pretty right but the heart it gives me feels satisfying also yes sts has an achievement for that.
That does makes more sense
Yeah
then we got thrown a very small bone with the gold badges because the majority of ror2 content we were creating was eclipse stuff but that's a pretty small bone 
The bare minimum, it doesn’t even show the gold badge ingame
The monkey paw curls. Eclipse 8 item unlocks for each character incoming. 
The real eclipse grind is the friends that we made.
How I felt after completing e8 on everyone
the only thing keeping me from getting eclipse 8 on all characters is chef's unlock still being bugged
and most characters being below eclipse 2 but thats besides the point
Its only an acomplishment if its on console
SPLOOOOOOOO
Have you ?
Yeah, I did it some years ago and last year I completed the sots characters.
Me, multiple times on all the versions of the game since it was released in the 1.0 update to Sots release.
What good old times of playing around the bugs of each version.
If only I could travel back to the glorious pre sotv console days, overcoming the bugs and situations the game threw at you was so much fun.
tbh getting e8 pre sotv felt more satisfying, overcoming all the annoying and unintentional stuff like old switch scaling felt good
now it kinda feels like monsoon but slower
me early game waiting 50 years to open a chest because no enemies are spawning

Well done
Well done
This question is probably annoying at this point, but I have to know...does it run better on switch now?
yo anyone able to help me find the bands? i dont know why i have them locked
i never got them in any of my runs
no sadly 😔
you have to unlock the secret room in abandoned aqueduct by holding down two pressure pads hidden in certain spots around the map. you have to hold down both at once, though, which is most consistently done by placing one of engineer's turrets or captain's supply beacons right on top of each
I always expected there to be at least 2 achievements connected to Eclipse: 1 for besting E8 with 1 survivor, and one for beating E8 with all survivors. Even if they didn't unlock anything in game, I still expected those achievements to be there.
I was actually very surprised when I found out there isn't even that
Wanna play
I'm not even home rn. Sorry
Ok
Rorr or ror 2 have crossplatform
Nope
😦
And I believe that after all that happened RoRr will not arrive to playstation and Xbox right?
Pretty safe bet yes
Back in here for a week
This will never not hurt
They didn't even say PS5 or Xbox series
They just said both the platforms which RoRR isn't on 💔
God I was so hyped for it and it was just RoR2 PS5 2
rough
o7
You took that from the announcement channel?
Because I was checking the announcement channel and they took away the "A second, too secret trailer (Xbox and PS4 players should tune in)"
Wasn’t this announcement for sots, they may have not mentioned ps5 and Xbox series to avoid spoilers
The image I posted is the only message that has similar things as qwp posted.
This is the other stream announcement
Look at the first point on there
Wdym? It had the release date in it yea
Oh, I see, I don't know why the search feature only showed me the one I took a screenshot.
Nvm I just got very confused
I gotta say it
Oh damn. Was looking through announcements and I think someone on the gbx team got fired, no longer have any role like, that sucks a lot. Hope they're doing ok
Coming back to the Switch version sucks
Going from the best version of the game to the worst version in an instant sucks
Yeah joie, happened around the time that gearbox publishing got nuked
That's rough they were cool 💔
even without qol mods i still found the switch version to be good, was a bit disappointed it doesn't perform as good as ror1 looping but i dont loop anymore anyway
100 monsoon wins and counting
i wish i was this good
I've returned
Does anyone know if you can play RoR2 in split screen for PS5?
you can!
How? Could you help me?
Thanks, that was it.
np 
Main menu you should see an option that says "split screen multiplayer" or something similar, select it with the player one and once you are in the survivor select menu after it the second controller press any button and you should be able to play split screen.
SPLIT SCREEN?
FR???
WAIT THAT'S AWESOME
Yeah but only on Xbox series and PlayStation 5.
That's perfectly ok for me 😩
Nice.
I do wonder if gearbox is gonna add a switch 2 version on ror2 like ps5 and Xbox series
Imagine if switch 2 can handle split screen.
It sure could handle a bunch of other games, mainly looking at elden ring.
It honestly mostly depends on the programming behind it which.......... Im not entirely sure gearbox could do well enough
They did it once and even twice on Xbox and PlayStation if they are willing to put the resources in I think it could work
^
Any1 need help on switch?
Wait wait wait wait...... I don't know for how long the new stage 5 has been in the game but I just noticed something.... Multi shops in that stage AREN'T guaranteed to be green items.....
My friend has literally never been able to join a multilayer game with us. I don't think he has a network problem since he's fine on other games, but on risk of rain it always disconnects him from our game. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Ask em for their nat type
He said an error pops up that says "unable to host due to NAT restrictions" so I do think that is the problem. How does he fix it though?
That’s nat in a nutshell
ME ME ME!!
Is this game cross-ply? If so I'll be down
It is not
Fff
Im down frfr
Nah it's np
Hmu in discord dms when/if u wanna. Btw im somewhat new. Not the newest but ik how to play
Yeah np!!
Yeah i took that abandon sanction to the forehead boot up ror2 we playing
Anyone wanna play, im doing monsoon and just messing around
If you main mult, ur not. Cool...
Has anyone else had connectivity problems or is it just me?
For everything else my connection is fine
If you play on switch its a feature
LMAO
Yeah, been that way forever in my experience for ps at least. Just not used by many players I guess
Your best bet is finding coop players through one of the lfg channels for your platform instead
Can you send me the link please?
#lfg-xbox-ror2 or #lfg-playstation-ror2 whichever console your on
thank you
anyone ever have trouble finding their friends' lobby in the Switch version? like where it won't show up? and they can't find me either when they host; but can join each other's fine.
It’s a pretty common problem, I would recommend switching around host but if that fails there always the method of entering quickplay at the same time.
Is it still worth To play Risk of Rain 2?And how big online on it,and did it have solo mode?
And how big is online on Consoles
got it - often my Quickplay button is greyed out and i cant select it. might just be out of luck here. i appreciate the response
is the game still getting updates?
yeah they just take a while
as of now theyre likely working on improving the characters from seekers of the storm and maybe polishing false son more
Do we know if there is a way to regain our progress on xbox, I haven't deleted my cache but ever since the dlc dropped I've lost all progress and it won't read my cache anymore. The game even still shows previous runs as well, apologies if this has already been answered.
No, I had the same issue and was told by gb that there was no fix
it happened to me and i requested a refund by sadly console's refund policies suck.
but it sucks so bad to lose literally EVERYTHING.
I got it all back pretty quick
And ror2 is my favourite game so I don’t mind playing it all again
My time has come.
Hi everyone
Hi
So dead
Most talk in #ror2-discussion
i am kindness luigi
Used to play on PC before, bought now on xbox cause it was on sale, I am shocked to learn no crossplay between platforms? also split screen caps each screen to 25fps, and afaik it can only be splitted horizontally, not vertically
i see that these console issues have been discussed multiple times here but i cant find them in the bug report page, are they on some kind of roadmap?
I mean there are others also discussed, like that second player character select screen appears only 15% of the time
FPS is for sure not a hardware limitation, it is locked by the developer
it just feels like a bit of an afterthought, which i understand it is, but kinda destroys the couch console experience
"... and his brother loved worms"
🪱
I JUST HAD THE BIGGEST REALISATION
AND I THINK IT MAY BE THE CAUSE OF BOTH THE SWITCH MUSIC AND SWITCH CRASH BUG
WHEN SOUND EFFECTS (or the music) CUT OUT THEY SOMETIMES GET PLAYED AT A LATER TIME
SO THE GAME HAS TO STORE THE INFO THAT ITS SUPPOSED TO PLAY THOSE SOUNDS
THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT OVER TIME MORE AND MORE SOUND EFFECTS GET STORED IN THAT BACKLOG WITHOUT EVER BEING PLAYED
AND EVENTUALLY PILE UP SO MUCH THAT THE GAME RUNS OUT OF MEMORY AND CRASHES
well ik it happens on all systems afaik
BUT
THIS IS THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF THAT BUILDS UP OVER TIME
AND LIKE IT MAKES SENSE DOESNT IT?
Wait what is the 2nd clip meant to show
I thought it was gonna be the thing where a sound effect randomly plays later while paused or smn
they do play
The diablo impact noise, the music and the rest of the healing core sounds get played in that second clip
This is your itemless chef
And like
If the game stores these sound effects WHICH IT DOES
what happens to the sound effects that never end up getting played at a later time
I dont think they just get erased
I think there is a good chance that these stored sound effects actually accumulate and eventually just take up too much memory of the switch
Its the only thing that makes any sense
If gearbox fixes those sound effects (and music) cutting out and getting stored like that I believe it may just fix both bugs
Because like what else happens to that data of sound effects that get played later
Like some of those sound effects may never actually like play at that later time
Where would that data go then?
Like yeah there are a billion other possibilities as to what could cause those crashes
But this is the only one so far that genuinely makes sense
I dont know much about game development but I am fairly sure I've heard about junk data accumulating and causing issues like this
I wish I knew what the people at gearbox that are tasked with this stuff know about the crashes
Would certainly make it easier to understand what the hell is going on there
Because like... Im restricted to my damn screen and speakers, I cant look at the code or anything thats happening behind the scenes
could certianly be the case
is there a bug rn to why me and my friend can’t play in the same lobby? keeps booting one of us. he’s eu im na both on ps5. any ideas? 
silksong might as well release before gearbox fixes the music on switch
That might not be so bad
Is eclipse mode on ps5
yes
SOMEONE PLAY XBOX WITH ME PLEASE
Game bugger and when I printed ignition tanks instead of giving me like 8 it gave me 200. I love ps4 lmao
Forgive me please almost one shot mithrix’s phases. I was teaching some new players and this happened lmao
Looking for a console group ro join i play on XBox and am a false son/acrid main
Lf teammates I play almost any character dm me or my Xbox account is in my bio
Bruh Ive never got a bug that gives me items 😭
I had forgive me please solo clearing halcyon shrines purely by gas procs
I would love to find a game breaking item giving bug
It also almost crashed everyone I was playing with so there’s that
It seems so much fun
Lmao
Happens during multiplayer as client I belive
can you play online and splitscreen and the same time on xbox?
Looking for ps5/ps4 players tryna just have some fun, possibly do some God looping
First run I’ve done for the past 2 months, might attempt some itemless runs since spending 70+ min is so damn exhausting.
Has anyone encountered an issue where after playing with someone who has the dlc (and you don't own the second dlc) all of your save data, skins, even dlc just dissappears even though your console still says you own the first dlc?
My friend joined me and lost all of their stuff, I own both dlcs while they only own the first released dlc.
Hey guys,when I buy risk of rain 2,will I have to download more content when I enter the game?
And if so,how many gigs
no
Xbox profile in bio message me for runs
Bro, you are right
If they fix the bug the switch version will be 100x times better
isn't that just a memory leak
like that's the definition of one
so the real issue is the sound effects are causing a memory leak, which would be really really bad
sundz lick on
i sure hope they fixed chef unlock purgatory
HOLY SHIT
@frail merlin THE DISTANT ROOST TREES ARE NORMAL AGAIN
WHAT THE FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I AM FREEEEE
THE MUSIC ISNT CUTTING OUT EITHER RN
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
Finally that unbearable bug is gone I can finally play the game in peace knowing I can use trees again
Does anyone else have terrible issues with the PlayStation version?
Only took them 3+ patches to add back music
Like, it feels so poorly optimized when it crashes 4 times every session
AH IT FEELS SO GOOD TO HAVE DIABLO IN MY NAME AGAIN
It’s the only reason I haven’t played the game that much tbh. Not an issue with internet btw, I have 500mb/s
OH MY GOD YESSSS
So...they won't fix aiming on controllers?
This probably means they also fixed the switch crahses
But even if not I dont care I can hear the music again
Ps4 or ps5?
I am fucking freeeeeeeheheheeeeee
PS5. Me and the other two people I play with all use PS5
Typically I’ve found that at least one person using the ps4 version fixes most issues, as it causes all players to use the downgraded version as well
Man been a while since i been here
And playing the ps4 version on ps5 will cause more crashes late game because it isn’t using ram as efficiently but it will cause pre looped runs to be more stable
Or just git gud idk
Like one use the PS4 version and the others use the PS5 version? Or just all use the PS4 version lol
MUSIC BACK CHAT????
Just one person has to use the ps4 version because it multiplayer it will cause all players to use that version
K
Is anyone else's controller having a INSANE delay in game or is mine just fucked up?
Gearbox why did you have to make a tierlist, nothing good can come out from this
Railgunner at the top
Now we have CHEF.🥳
LMAO first bug of the update already
I hope soo much after this update i get connected to the multiplayer server 😭
What’s the bug?
I hit one wisp but it counted it as 5 airborne and unlocked the achievement.
Lemme just do that before it's fixed
I think you def hit more than one though, several others were bleeding
Maybe the hitbox is just wonky?
Oh, it was a huge bleed hit box
How's the game going these days? I havent played in a while
Yeah looks to be
While I’d love to check for myself I’m busy, so does anyone know if Switch’s music has been fixed?
-# It’s been turning off after a few seconds into each track for me, and I’ve seen at least one other person have the same issue
I'm having the same issue so it's not just you

Anyone else on console still having the issue where your logbook doesn’t load so you cannot earn any unlocks?
My chef keeps looking around randomly on his own and it’s impossible to aim at enemies
Anyone else having this problem
I miss ror2 when it had a team that knew how to update the game properly
Fr
Been 3 months of me still not being able to unlock any abilities or skins just to get an update that still doesn’t fix it
I deleted the game again if it still isn’t fixed I’ll have to restart my save and see if it fixes it but I have every character, almost every ability, and most monsoon skins just to toss that to the trash because they can’t fix it
I have that but game is super delayed it's insane on my xbox
Delay plus chef with a mind of his own is so upsetting
I just want to have fun with chef is that so much to ask?!😭😭
Yeah
lol
Cannot be allowed gotta wait until another update phase for that
WE'RE SO BACK
Chef and seeker done, now just false son left
I did the the 40 lunar spike challenge but I didn’t get the ability, I got the health through 3 transfusions and 6 stone pauldrons, is the way I did it wrong or is the challenge bugged?
Hey all! New update on consoles???
Anyone else’s game feel weird when looking around ?
Did you have any backup mags?
Did they break console version again or nah
No
came crawling back into this server to ask if the switch music has been fix
Yes, it has been fixed
nvm nice
lets goo
saw the dev diary too, nice the switch version is getting a optimization update lol
Took me long enough
Yeah, I also just now reached 40 lunar spikes and didn’t get the achievement
anyone else having controller issues or is mine just done for, looking around and moving feels/is incredibly delayed. have no issues on other games, and no issues using a spare controller
Any idea what went wrong for the both of us?
Nvm I just got the achievement after getting more growth
Yeah it's a bug idk how they continue to do it
tragic
This achievement is at Diablo stress level.
Also Seems like the random crashes are still on switch, just crashed after quitting to main menu.
Yeah, RoR2 for the switch ain't exactly a stable relationship
Just lost to the halcyon shrine cause of this💔
What console you on? Cuz I haven't ran into that issue
im on series s, but have seen another post or two of series x having the same issue
using a different controller and havent had any issues just yet but odd that my main controller just doesnt work with ror2
good question, probably 2 or 3 years. its the razer wolverine chroma v2, works fine with other games
Really? Damn, maybe RoR2 puts your console and controller to the test 😭
the standard controller that came with the xbox works fine so guess im using that for a bit
I could play risk of rain 2 new update but.... Oblivion remastered it just 
Is it good? I haven't played either version yet
10/10 for me so far, I didn't played the old one but it was awesome to know that they kept the wackiness of the old version in the remastered, and so far I have not felt like a some point the game feels boring.
The new false son skill unlock is get 40 spikes right? Or did I mis read?
You have to get it with Growth, not back up mags
40 MORE spikes so 44 total
Growth is tied to your max hp right?
Yes
Swagger
Time to Command my way to 44 spikes
So do NOT take transcendence
I never do so I'm good
Stoneflux Pauldron
I can't wait to take a step every five years just for an achievement
No it goes with his passive as well
Just use all his spikes
Its fine because the growth bonus from spending your lunar spikes makes up for it
Do the extra charges have to come from his passive or can I use backup mags?
Oh, I didn't know. I only got False Son a day or two ago so I haven't really played him too much
Its not a 1:1 return ratio but you can still move fairly well with several stone fluxes if you keep your lunar spike count low
Passive
Ngl the run I got him was purely a joke run to try and get a Scav so I can get the acrid achievement
Also does the difficulty change how common certain enemies spawn in?
Cuz like, I looped and almost made it to a second loop and still no scav. (I was on drizzle)
how do you get meridians will?
You need to get aurelionite to kill mithrix while he's inflicted with lunar ruin from false son's secondary
Thats a lot of words
Get golden giant
Hit mithrix with spike
Spike give ruin
Have giant kill mithywithy
Get achievement
Hope that helps
MITHYWITHY???????
Mithywithy
Would you rather Mythrixical The Mystical
Child hit the squiggly wiggly
Do certain stages have child as a native enemy cuz I be on stage 1 and seeing it
I think so
They debuffed some of his damage but he is significantly better
That's good to hear
False son fight is no easier though
Not again 😭
Anyone else getting input delay on console???
Yes
I've been trying to get seekers sojourn ult ability, but it's just not happening
Guys does anyone know if i can transfer me data from the ps4 version to the ps5 one?
bruh
pirate moment
Anyone figure out how to do the Seeker achievement yet? The Sojourn one
Thought maybe it was just me but figured I would check the discord anyways and lol
Yeah it's bad
I did a 73min run on command and still didnt get the Sojourn achievement i must be missing something 
That's what I've been wondering, how the hell do you get 500,000% Damage
I only got up to 101k
You probably need to do a really long run for this like Railgunners achievement
it adds up the damage you do to every enemy, so try to target as many as possible
Any fast way to do seekers 500000 percent thing
You'd have to fly for 16 minutes and 40.8 seconds if we're relying on just its own inherent scaling against a single target, if I calculated it correctly. If it's just hitting whatever 500,000% worth of your base damage is, then critting would reduce that by half down to 8 minutes and 20.4 seconds. Hitting a 2nd enemy would be an additional half down to 4 minutes and 10.2 seconds.
holy hell how is it alive 😭
void fiend DID not get saved just to get put through that
aw hell na bruh
did it have trouble booting back up?
the artifact of sacrifice allows you to get many items
no it just gave me a warning about overheating
it didnt feel that hot so
xbox just does that for some reason
yeah i be screaming too if i had to be put through that lol
60 fps? We got 60 seconds per frame
It's pretty easy believe it or not
Ik I got it
I'm getting mildly annoyed with the aurelionite false son unlock
It took me a lot more bands and crowbars
Honestly doesn't sound too bad
I got it with 5 RAPs, and 8 focus crystals, crowbars, and watches
I knew I forgot something important
It's just annoying having to rely on something that isn't you to kill Mithrix before you accidently do
Focus crystals would've made my life easier fml
I've accidently killed him twice now
Peppering him with lunar crystals while Aurelionite wails on him shouldn't be that hard
Unless you got way too much dmg
It's really hard finding a balance between getting through the run damage while also not having implode phase 4 mithrix damage
That's true honestly
In this game you're either struggling or steam rolling
I didn't manage to get 20 stacks of burn on mithrix as chef so no ice for me
Also has anyone figured out a fix or something similar for the input delay thing happening? It's driving me nuts
Ice is just so much better 
Just stack attack speed and stay around melee range
Got it, thanks for the tip!
Honestly the lunar spikes problem could be fixed by just gaining a stupid amount of HP
It isn't about keeping the stack of lunar ruin on mithrix, it's about it not doing too much dmg while being applied
Lunar Ruin is the single most broken thing in the entire game outside of MAYBE freeze
Past like 5-6 stacks you just start doing ridiculous numbers
DAMN
Is switch audio still fucked
Came here to ask the same thing 😭
no more
its such a weird feeling playing the switch version again after playing the ps5 version for months at this point
gyro aiming i missed you so much
Am i the only one struggling to get the alternate for sojourn on seeker?
I’m also struggling on something.
Beating Mithrix as Mercenary. 😔
I did the Prime Meridian and beat Sun, but I can’t get to Mithrix for some reason.
are you trying to get the skin?
Yeah..
you could just loop and obliterate at stage 8
but if you wanna beat mithrix idk i don’t play merc 😭
I’m a controller player so, y’know.
Mithrix is actually the bane of my existence i totally get this
as captain, acrid, mercenary, ALL of them i made it to mithrix on monsoon only to get killed as soon as he hits phase 2 💔
Phase 1 i can just chip damage him, but he starts hitting like a truck with actually difficult to dodge attacks once he takes that breather
honestly just obliterate atp he aint worth the trouble 💔
Yeah, that’s what someone else suggested..
Yeah it's an issue with input registration being delayed, idk if there's a fix other than waiting for a patch
That’s so tragic, has the game unplayable
I'm lost on how it ended up bugging.
Like, it's seemingly only third party controllers. I plugged in my official Microsoft controller and it worked perfectly
I just don't get how that could happen, nor do I have ANY clue how you would even start to fix such a bug
Wdym
Brother it doesn't automatically transfer the data like other games and it doesn't have an in game option idk what to do
Anyone notice any latency issues? I'm having some which is odd cause I never have before hand.
Its only on risk too, no other games 😭
The dealing 500000% with sojourn is so annoying because it will randomly kick you out if it despite having more than 50% of your max health
U guys know a tip to get Mercenary Ethereal challenge?
I love how all the characters have a special ability and then you have commando who is just like: I have a gun, and can dodge roll like in darksouls
Exactly why I love commando🙏
I guess its a tie?
I meant you talked like a pirate in that message
There's a time limit on it
I got that one by doing 5 raps, and 8 frystals, crowbars, and watches
Stayed in sojourn for like 10-1× seconds and got it
One tip that I discovered is that, you DON'T need to deal the 500,000% damage to one enemy, you can group up 10 enemies and deal 50,000% damage to each and get the achievement.
