Just white screens on load and crashes

thick lava
#

Are you on the latest patch? And what's the serial number on the back of your PS4 controller?

stone gull
#

Yeah it's latest patch

#

Hang on for serial

thick lava
#

err "Model Number" should look like CUH-XYZWQ

stone gull
#

Model CUH-ZCT1U

analog fjord
#

Are you running the game through Steam or anything?

thick lava
#

If you have DS4 support enabled in Steam's Big Picture mode I'd try closing Steam

stone gull
#

Nah just through Epic

thick lava
#

@stone gull When the game crashes, does the bug reporter appear? If not, I can walk you through finding the windows error log, which might have more info

stone gull
#

No it doesn't

#

Just option to report to windows

#

gonna verify my files since my friend in voice is able to play on controller fine

hard crane
#

I just had a crash as well, no error popped up

#

shortly before the crash, the game lagged? I guess. Seemed to get stuck on a frame for a fraction of a second. Never had issue like that before

#

Only error in past 24 hours on windows logs is a runtime error for microsoft one.connect

stone gull
#

how do I open up window error log

hard crane
#

search for event viewer

stone gull
#

okay

#

I have the error log for Hades here

#

@thick lava do you want me to send you something in particular

thick lava
#

PM me everything in the details window from the Hades.exe error

wraith crown
#

When Meg dies the other monsters don't disappear and i take massive amount of damages durring the time I see Meg falling in blood (loading screen after battle)

#

also if you use the new weapon and dash as soon as it is reloading you can cancel reload time... just wanted to warn you

late tulip
#

As of this patch I'm getting some serious stutter-frame when fighting the second mini-boss ||Megagorgan|| that I haven't encountered before. What can I do to make sure this isn't an issue on my end before reporting it as feedback?

kind fractal
#

Just got this stutter as well, didn't stop afterwards either

late tulip
#

yeah it just killed my run at that fight

#

and you're right, it isn't stopping

#

nope, nvm it cleared up in the house

kind fractal
#

I thought maybe it has to do with the new weapon? The bossfight worked well before that, just when I tried it with the new update and the latest weapon it got messed up

late tulip
#

Nope, I was using sword

kind fractal
#

Also I just joined the Discord to report that issue 😂

late tulip
#

My CPU usage was 100% during that fight

kind fractal
#

Ah alright, then nvm

late tulip
#

I atleast know it isn't just me 😛

kind fractal
#

Didn't check my CPU though

#

I'll try loading up the game and see if the run will continue normally

wooden plume
#

I got that slowdown as well - after the boss fight quitting and reloading brought performance back to normal

wraith crown
#

Btw the new pact which increase the number of ennemy per rooms makes it impossible for the boat with 3 blue cristals, so many shield between you and crystal you die before behind able to hit a single one of them ^^'

#

and Hydra feels to easy in comparison of all the rest ^^'

kind fractal
#

So yes, simply reloading fixes the problem with the stuttering

late tulip
#

Made a proper bug-report for the stutter via f10, hope it helps 😦

analog fjord
#

Thank you! That's the best way to do it since we can see if your build had something to do with the issue much easier when it's F10'd!

kind fractal
#

Also did a bug report via F10 just now, since it seems to be CPU related it's probably better when you have different set-ups it was confirmed on I guess

tardy musk
#

Took the Chaos boon that increases the number of enemies per room and the game crashed when entering the next room. Now I can't get back in the game since I just constantly load back into the room and the game crashes. 😦

analog fjord
#

Try renaming Profile1.sav.bak to Profile1.sav

#

It should be located in Documents\Saved Games\Hades

#

Did a crash report window appear?

tardy musk
#

Just a "Hades has stopped responding" window

analog fjord
#

Can you DM me your save?

tardy musk
#

Just did

swift dawn
#

iam in a powerup area
everytime i powerup game crashes
and i cant give up........
i can only quit game

#

by powerup i mean eating that fruit

analog fjord
#

Can you please use F10 to report this bug?

#

Then try deleting your Profile1_temp.sav files to reset yourself to before the current run

#

getting some major slowdown issues on the Megagorgon room

analog fjord
#

Please report this, and other bugs using F10 in game!

Umm.. I crashed it at a save point and I'm stuck

are these the files i should delete ?

inland obsidian
analog fjord
#

@swift dawn yes!

swift dawn
#

ok ty

#

im back in the hades crib

analog fjord
#

@inland obsidian

Try renaming Profile1_temp.sav.bak to Profile1_temp.sav - Saves are located in Documents\Saved Games\Hades

inland obsidian
#

nope

analog fjord
#

Booo try deleting the _temp files

#

Sadly it will reset you to before this run started

#

But just the _temp files!

inland obsidian

Non-game related but it looks like the discord bot is having a bit of a bad day?

Recent feedback comments aren't getting all 3 reactions added monkahmm

hey guys! the megagorgon fight seems to be unplayable for me, it was goin 5fps and comepletely freezing up constantly

Thanks for reporting a game freeze! The most common solution to this issue can be found in #hades-tech-fixes-old

#

Hey @fierce oriole , it's an issue we're currently investigating. Good looking out! 👍

fierce oriole
#

No worries! Great job to you and the team on the latest update sanapray looking forward to the next NoClip

subtle spindle
#

@dense saffron - I just had the same issue myself. I did a bug report.

#

I don't know what it is - but after the Chaos Update, and after this update, my mouse feels like it's moving through mud. It responds poorly in the game, even at the highest DPI settings. I sent another report for it.

dense saffron
#

yeah looks like we are not the only ones

tidal pike
#

I have the same issue with lag, not only for the megagorgon, but also in the biggest chambers of asphodel when there is a lot going on (lots of foes or chain attacks). I have no problems with the rest of the game though..

analog fjord
#

If you quit and reload the game does it happen in the same place every time, or does it get better?

tidal pike
#

quit and reload while in the chamber ? I haven't tried that yet, I've had these lag issues before the update but it was still playable, actually, it's worse only on the megagorgon which really freezes, the big rooms are just kinda laggy.

I have the early access rank, but it's not letting me post in the feedback channel

Is there another step I'm missing?

#

I was able to post in it last patch

analog fjord

It's locked while we work on our bot!

dense saffron
#

@tidal pike did you have performance issues before this update?

hard crane
#

Ooh, alright thanks for everything Morgan! (reply, update, awesomesauceness) XD

cinder totem
#

@hard crane Feedback has reopened, thank you for your patience! 👍

tidal pike
#

@dense saffron : yes, it happened once or twice (only in asphodel & I'm not exactly good so i don't reach it often..) if i remember well it was in big rooms with a lot of wretches and jumping skeletons

dense saffron
#

@tidal pike do you by chance have 8gb of ram?

tidal pike
#

yes ?

dense saffron
#

yeah i had the same issues as u, just upgraded to 16gb and now it runs alot better except for the gorgon fight

tidal pike
#

yeah, but the game is supposed to run on 4gb ram, so there might still be something to fix ^^'

analog fjord
#

We'll for sure be optimizing the game over the course of Early Access!

tidal pike
#

I've also run into a tiny graphic bug in asphodel : lava bubbles which were supposed to be behind, coming on top of next chamber's reward (not sure if this is the place to report that though ? I also took a screenshot just in case)

analog fjord
#

Bugs like that should be submitted via F10!

toxic trout
#

yeah i've f10d that one where i saw it come up

analog fjord
#

But this one we are aware of 😃

short star
#

The 5-burst special on the rail gun makes the big horde rooms lag big time, both in Tartarus and Asphodel.

analog fjord

Please report this via F10 when it occurs! Thanks!

I just had the game crash when I was killed by a Skull Crusher. The game restarts without issue, though, and I continue from the House of Hades.

Did the bug report window appear when the game crashed?

#

No, the game just exited.

Hey my game crashed on the new build, i dont know if i can recall the items and the floor since i used the new weapon and got new dionysos stuff but should i just restard and do F10?

#

Ah i see im not the only one

velvet fulcrum
#

So i have had a reoccurring issue with coins not transferring their value between runs despite perks made available. their gold coins not transferring over between runs? I have the Deep Pockets perk leveled to 50 and i have also unlocked the Hypnos boon. Whenever i am killed between runs I always have no coins remaining tho. This issue has affected me since the first patch in January. Just wondering if this is intentional or not 😃

lament cliff
#

Anytime I enter my save it crashes, making it impossible to press f10. I was between the two zones before the update, it shows me walking out, then it freezes, and crashes

This is a known issue mentioned in #hades-tech-fixes-old , but if you encounter bugs in-game again, please report them using F10! That will pull up the game's bug reporter
@wary spire

flint compass
#

@velvet fulcrum the coin purse no longer saves your money between runs, but gives you money to spend when you start a new run, same as deep pockets. So you’ll have the money once you go out again, just not in the house

@molten sundial please report bugs using the in-game F10 bug reporter!

Hello, I have a problem, my game crashes somewhere in 2nd or 3rd room of Asphodel, rendering my save game worthless and all my progress as well, can you guys help?

pallid basin
#

My game crashed without any message. do I report that with F10?

sharp narwhal
#

Hi Ida, the game is having a lot of issues with crashes right now, but a patch should be coming out soon, according to #hades-tech-fixes-old

warped hamlet
#

Thanks ^_^

sharp narwhal
#

If you're still having trouble after the next patch is released, let us know!

pallid basin
#

Alright, cool 👍 thank you

river junco
#

my game seems to only crash during and after the gorgon head fight if that helps the devs in fixing it

wild drift
#

Just happened likewise, game crashed after the gorgon sub-boss fight, but just starting the game again didn't cause any issues so my safe file still works.
But there's another I guess bug to report?
Premium Vintage boon causes it's effect to trigger, healing you that is, whenever you gift anyone after obtaining the said boon, while it says it should only do so when you pick a new one up? Not sure where on discord should I post that about in-game bugs

pallid basin
#

I've had the game skip frames after picking Aphrodite boon instead of Dionysus in Trial of the gods. I started to fight some brimstones and skeletons, after that the game crashed and it reset me back to the house of hades. I had 2 Zeus powers and was causing a lot of lightning to chain on enemies.
Hope that helps the devs.

not entirely sure if this is the right area, but does anyone know how i can permanently turn of subtitles? it gets kinda annoying to redo it every single time i open the game lmao

steady cypress
#

I can't post in the "feedback" section, so here it is: idk if i'm the only one that experienced this (or if it's already been talked about), but my encounter with Medusa (the boss battle) lags very very veryyyyy much.

toxic trout
#

it's listed as a known issue in tech fixes

spice radish
#

I had the stuttering issue in the same spot.

tired minnow
#

Is it known that the fullscreen + borderless options don't seem to work as expected?

analog fjord
#

Fullscreen is borderless

#

Borderless only effects Windowed

#

I am curious how you expected it to work?

celest sail
#

This is probably known, but when the game starts to stutter and moving downwards is impossible unless you dash. And it keeps being around when you restart the game. Is there a way to solve it or should i calmly wait for the next patch?

tired minnow
#

Hmm, best way to describe would be..
fullscreen > whole screen, no chrome, exclusive context
borderless > no chrome, not necessarily full screen, can switch context without screen flash
fullscreen borderless > whole screen, no chrome, can switch context without screen flash

#

So when I go fullscreen + borderless, it has to do the same screen flashing and loading of something outside the exclusive context, but it does show the window you switched to over the game as expected

analog fjord
#

I think you want Windowed + Borderless to achieve what you are describing!

tired minnow
#

Yeah, that's why I was saying, is it known that there's a huge performance hit when switching context while using borderless + full screen?

analog fjord
#

Note the Borderless option description: Removes window borders in Windowed display mode

tired minnow
#

Not performance in fps, just.. it takes forever, much like it does when doing just full screen

#

Yeah, I tried doing just borderless max res, and that was much the same experience, but also same delay when alt-tabbing

analog fjord
#

Yes, Borderless doesn't effect Fullscreen, so it is known. It only effects the game when you are also set to Windowed.

tired minnow
#

The lag when switching is what I'm trying to convey

#

Not the behavior

#

Sorry if I'm fumbling it 😉

analog fjord
#

You can file a bug with F10 so we can get your DxDiag. That will be the best way to report this.

tired minnow
#

K, I'll do that

#

Sorry to bother

analog fjord
#

It is most likely due to your Graphic's Card (or at least that would be my guess)

#

It's not a bother! I was just trying to explain that the Borderless option had no bearing on Fullscreen!

tired minnow
#

That's.. sort of unusual, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

EA and all that 😉

#

Thanks @analog fjord

analog fjord
#

You're welcome! If you have example of games where Borderless effects Fullscreen I'd be interested in checking them out 😃

#

Maybe we can try something similar

tired minnow
#

Yeah, I'll look for examples~

hey guys dunno if im right here in this channel.
I have immense frame rate drops in hades as soon as some effects appear on the screen.

then i tried a second time and it worked

#

hi! love the game, but I just wanted to say that on my game my sudden sunder doesn't give me my automatic dash. Just thought I should put in my two cents

#

oh wait never mind my bad.

analog fjord
#

@toxic trout Did you get a Bug Reporter window?

toxic trout
#

i did not!

dim sage
#

@analog fjord Hey i tried everything that is said in the tech fixes but nothings works. The game doesnt care about my resolution or window / border Mode

analog fjord
#

@dim sage Sorry it didn't help! Can you report this using the in-game F10 bug reporter when it is at its worst? That will give us additional system info. Thanks!

dim sage

#

okay its out . thanks in advance

Thanks!

wooden bloom
#

Yo I got a couple of wild bugs just now. I think I killed the Hydra and he killed me at the same time because I blew up and got sent back but it briefly showed the win stats and Zaggy was all 'woo hoo' I won. Then right after that I got a new lore entry for Nyx and when I tried to open the lore screen LB, the game crashed.

#

It was neat

dense rune
#

Did you report this in-game with F10, and/or did it auto generate a bug report?

wooden bloom
#

I didn't, and I didn't see any report. The process just quit instantly

sacred barn
#

not anything game breaking, but i found a very minor spelling error in some dialogue with meg

surreal pike
#

What word?

dense rune
#

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong there?

wooden bloom
#

inasmuch is a word. A weird one, but it's correct

tall inlet
#

I was using whipped frenzy max and I noticed the ending scene after killing the bone hydra is sped up as well

sacred barn
#

Ah, my mistake. It looked weird, so i assumed it was an error.

dim sage
#

Hey i made a new bug report . I figured out that as long i charge the spear attack my framerate drops constantly below 20

dim sage
#

Okay now i know whats the deal with the framerate. i played with a controller on pc( xbox one controller). Today a played with keyboard and mouse and i had no framerate issues. As soon as i connected the controller via internal bluetooth ( mainboard intel bluetooth chipset) i got issues again.
I just tried to connect the controller via die official microsoft blueooth adapter and the issues is gone even with the controller.

So it seems der is a problem with the internal bluetooth and hades.

I don´t know if its just me but other games work fine with onboard bluetooth.

hope this helps !

@analog fjord
On the fullscreen borderless issue, Rosseyn tackled before, usually, both windowed and fullscreen, if borderless, won't lag you when you use alt+tab. Example of games that I play fullscreen + borderless are league of legends and tree of saviors. Also, it doesn't seem to change anything if I select or not the fullscreen option, if I use the 1600x900 display settings (max for me, as it's my whole monitor)

#

oh ok, I decided to uncheck everything, and if I don't either, I get the desired fullscreen + borderless, lol

#

weird

#

@tired minnow so, uncheck both boxes and you'll get what we wanted

#

it's making my fps lower tho, but it might be the obs as I'm streaming 🤔

tired minnow
#

K, ah with the chrome on?

grizzled needle
#

chrome...? you mean the browser? idk, never use it, I'm a firefox person

limber sleet
#

Been having weird crashes ever since Hades update, and today with the latest update I got freezes that I couldn't even end process out of. Any ideas?

mellow fernBOT
#

Thanks for reporting a game freeze! The most common solution to this issue can be found in #hades-tech-fixes-old

toxic trout
#

@weak beacon That's a bug, not feedback, and should be reported in-game when it happens. It's also a known issue that the Megagorgon fight is laggier than it should be; Patch 12 should have fixed it for some players but it might still be an issue.

terse perch
#

Yeah, so uh, my Chthonic Purse went from maxed out at level 3 back to level 1 as if I hadn't used it for any encounters...this happend after the new update which added Dionysus. Might've had something to do with the fact it was the very first item I got up to level 3. Not a huge inconvenience, but figured I should mention it

toxic trout
#

it's because the effect changed, i assume

#

similar to how when they add/swap abilities on the mirror you need to re-unlock them

terse perch
#

The description didn't change afaik, it still says I get to keep up to 100 coins I had on me the last time I died, which is exactly what it used to do at level 1

toxic trout
#

then something's gone wrong with your game, because the description has definitely updated

#

"Recieve 100 💰 to spend as you please (once per escape attempt)."

terse perch
#

or maybe I didn't really bother to read it...

toxic trout
#

wait, no, i had the description right before, haha

#

it's changed so that you no longer have to have had that many coins previously, you just get them now

terse perch
#

I didn't really mind the way it worked previously but it's the sort of update that makes me wonder "why couldn't they have done that to begin with"

analog fjord
#

We all ask ourselves that every day about many things

terse perch
#

Also why couldn't I just get the level 3 version of this new purse since I had it maxed out previously? Again minor inconvenience but still

analog fjord
#

Well, that was something we looked into, and it wasn't technically possible. We're in Early Access, and while we try to preserve as much of your save as we can between patches, some things can not be done. It's much better than, say, breaking every save each update I hope!

terse perch
#

guess it is dusa

lone nacelle
#

hello, it looks like the new weapon doesn't appear on 3rd save slot. or at least i think that the saves are the problem. i use the 3rd slot and had the weapon there since the update, but my brother (3rd slot) doesn't have it, locked or not

mellow escarp
#

Has your brother unlocked all the other weapons on the 3rd slot?

lone nacelle
#

no, altrought i thought that all the weapons used to appear, even as locked

#

if i am mistaken and not unlocking all the previous weapons is the cause of the problem, then I'm sorry and thank you very much!!

mellow escarp
#

Yes, to get the gun to appear all the previous weapons should be unlocked first. Hope that solves the issue for your brother 😀

lone nacelle
#

it did, thanks! ^^

wide orbit
#

deflection works weird for me since the last patch mostly with hydras purple ranged attack they just turn around and stick in mid air sometimes

#

and I dont know if it is intended but the projectiles that turn into small enemies and into lava just fall to the ground or change how they fly but except for the lava one which you can redirect under the hydra doesnt do much but can also land under you if you are unlucky

analog fjord
#

Please report bugs of this nature using F10 in-game as soon as they occur. Thanks!

#

I didn´t know that, thanks

#

Other than that I really enjoy the update 😃

Hi, do you have an Nvidia graphics card? If so, can you check to make sure Hades is running on that card, and not on default graphics?

gritty yoke

okay so ive hit a roadblock i cant seem to find any way to switch what card its running on from epic launcher or nvidia or anywhere ive looked in my computers settings any guidance?

you should have an "Nvidia Control Panel"

#

yea i cant find it in there

sharp narwhal
#

hold on, let me DM you

gritty yoke
#

k thx

dense rune
#

If you don't have the option in the NVIDIA Control Panel, you'll have to do it through your BIOS

#

Restart, load into your BIOS and disable Intel HD. Also make sure that your default video is set to PCIe and not Auto

sharp narwhal
#

They do, it sounds like - I'm walking them through it now ^^

dense rune
#

Ven is so helpful, such a delight pennyPleased

sharp narwhal
#

Hahaha not so helpful

#

They don't have the option to change the graphics card. Wight, I don't know the BIOS process - do you think you could walk them through it?

dense rune
#

It varies for different motherboards and operating systems, but I can provide some general advice and direction here, sure

sharp narwhal
#

Cool, thanks. Shoot them a DM please?

dense rune
#

Will do

To follow up on undeadsnipers13's problem, it was not GPU related. The error code led me to a problem of not having the correct display settings. Changing to a different 32 bit colour depth fixed their problem. This is the guide I ended up recommending https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/258-color-bit-depth-display-settings.html

#

This problem may arise from having either the wrong 32 bit depth selected, or else having 16 bit depth selected

Noted! Thanks Wight!

anyone elses save date suddenly disappear after the major update?

I dont even see any files like that sadly

all i have is

is there a chance it could be any of those?

Ah...no, doesn't sound like it :/

Hi, I'm running into problems with my wireless XB1 controller. In the past I would just need to have it on in order for it to work with the game (turning it on after wouldn't work) but now the game doesn't recognize it at all. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?

#

i founded bug with animation and recorded it on video (23 mb) but in-game bug report only takes printscreen and i can't attach anything to it. Don't think that image can somehow help with animation issues.

sharp narwhal
#

Don't worry about trying to record it - as long as you describe the bug and send a report, it'll be helpful! The report sends your build and save info too so the bug can be replicated
@cyan zenith

#

@tepid fable Have you tried it with other games? Is Hades the only one causing trouble?

tepid fable
#

Yeah other games work fine

#

@sharp narwhal

sharp narwhal
#

That's odd...I haven't had any issues with my 360 controller. I'd say it was a driver or something but not if it's working fine elsewhere...

The strange part is that it was working yesterday.

I thought the patch said that "Codex unlock requirements reduced in most cases". Is this how you meant it ? Talking to him so many times will take a very long time and my completionist side is suffering :D. Thank you for your time, great game 😄

in most cases!

#

@cyan zenith if you want to include a video in your bug report, you need to upload it somewhere and include a link to it in the report. I recommend using streamable.com for short clips like that

I'm having trouble starting Hades with my DS4 controller attached through USB. With the controller connected, the game refuses to start, hanging at a black screen. Disconnecting the controller during the black screen allows the game to load. Connecting the controller via USB during the game causes the game to crash.

@digital lichen I figured out the issue - the controller was connected through my monitor's USB ports (a USB hub). Connecting the controller directly into the computer addressed the issue.

when leaving the house of hades to zag's room during one of the Orph songs, if you attempt to come back the song's source appears to be coming from near zag's room and not from orph. Ive reported it before, just making another msg on it since i noticed the bug still exists in this patch.

sharp girder
#

Apparently the slideshow thingy was caused by closing the epic launcher mid upgrade and then launching the hades executable

mint gale
#

Have i overread somewhere that there was a save reset? I started hades from a new laptop and my old save is lost

toxic trout
#

there's no cloud saves in the epic launcher

#

you need to transfer saves manually if you play on a different computer

mint gale
#

good to know, thank you

stone gull
#

cant launch Hades without it crashing

#

I get the bug report but Hades freezes my computer until I force close it so i cant even send the report

mellow fernBOT
#

Thanks for reporting a game freeze! The most common solution to this issue can be found in #hades-tech-fixes-old

stone gull
#

I've made sure its whitelisted in my anti-virus and I've tried running as admin

sharp narwhal
#

Have you tried running the application directly rather than using the Epic Launcher shortcut?

cerulean flame
#

my hades just crashes when I try to load up my save

#

it doesnt crash it just doesnt respond

sharp narwhal
#

Only when you try to load your save? Does it also give you problems when you try loading a different save or starting a new game?

flint compass
#

restarting his computer fixed it

small kite
#

I think I found a bug with one of the Chaos Boons. It was one where you take extra damage for three encounters. I think after those three encounters, I was still taking extra damage for the remainder of the run. I didn't report it in-game because I thought I had extra damage turned on in Pact of Punishment, but after dying I found this not to be the case.

#

hello, im looking for a solution about not being able to purchase hades

flint compass
#

@tender locust, have you tried paypal? cards didnt work for me but through paypal it did

tender locust
#

only have a visa

flint compass
#

are you buying it through the desktop client?

tender locust
#

yessir, also tried through website with no success

#

accumulated 10 errors soon 😃

#

it keeps telling me my transaction has been voided, and honestly its impossible to look for solutions in this whiny sea of fortnite gamers on forums

vague brook
#

Could it be your bank blocking it?

tender locust
#

thats the biggest problem, im just getting an error with no context... i cant really identify it myself

#

it might be my bank blocking it 😛

frosty tiger
#

Is this still crashing for anyone else since Friday's crash-patch?

#

I can't get the game to stay open. I've disabled internal GPU in bios, but still crashing.

sharp narwhal
#

When is it crashing?

frosty tiger
#

The first time was after taking the Dionysus boon for the first time, going through to the next dungeon and froze.
Now it crashes on load screen or main menu.

#

I just sent a bug report. for the most recent one.

#

I've run it both streaming and not streaming several times since the 15th and keeps crashing. I relaunched now and I've gone two rooms so far. The longest it's stayed stable since the 15th.

#

I also started a fresh run too, so maybe it's a problem with my save file too?

sharp narwhal
#

Maybe! If there's an issue with your save, the bug reporter will help with that. I assume you've tried verifying your game files? Something could have gone wrong during the update.

frosty tiger
#

Okay, thank you

#

Does anyone know if you can uncap the framerate or does it only play at 60 fps?

#

Good day everyone. Since last patch, Hades is crashing all the time on my Intel® NUC Kit NUC6i7KYK (Skull Canyon). It worked flawlessly before. I've check what is posted in tech-fixes but doesn't seem to apply to my case.

sharp narwhal
#

There was someone else who was having a lot of issues with crashes; have you verified your game files through the Epic Launcher?

frosty tiger
#

thank you for your reply @sharp narwhal - yes 100% verified no other messages

#

version 14115-x64

#

my NUC6i7KYK is up-to-date with all latest drivers

#

game worked flawlessly until this patch

sharp narwhal
#

I see. I don't know if it will help but it's worth a shot to rule everything out - have you tried running the game directly from its .exe file in your program files, rather than through the Epic Launcher?

If it's still crashing when you do that, you're probably going to need to talk to an engineer; they're asleep right now, but you can fetch the crash data and talk with them in a few hours. I can walk you through that

frosty tiger
#

Thanks, let me know how i can fetch the crash data. The game crashes after few minutes of game play (randomly)

sharp narwhal
#

Type "error" or "event logs" into your search bar and pull up the "View Event Logs" screen. On the left side you'll see several folders; click the dropdown arrow next to the one that says "Windows Logs", and then when it opens, click "Application". A long list of notifications and errors should pop up in a viewing window; look for errors from the Hades crashes

#

Errors will be marked by red circles with exclamation points

#

Copy and save the text data from the "General" and "Details" fields and hold onto them, for now

frosty tiger
#

thanks @sharp narwhal

#

i'm checking which of those may be related or may be related to the crash

#

well, total PC freeze

sharp narwhal
#

👍

tender locust
#

gonna try this again, unable to purchase Hades from Epic Games store, same goes for website

#

i've tried on two different accounts and i've also had a mate try for me on my account

sharp narwhal
#

I'm sorry to hear that, but we don't really have much we can do about the Epic Store here - if you've already tried the common suggestions, your best bet is to submit a support ticket with Epic Games

tender locust
#

but under which category?

sharp narwhal
#

"Delete/Update Billing Information", maybe?

#

or "Update Epic Games Account"

tender locust
#

im gonna give update epic games account a shot

#

and also, i would like to point out that if this is a common problem then this should be a concern for the creators as it gives absolutely no information about the error. i realize it might be epic games fault, but its still a concern for the creators 😃

#

who knows, might just be me

sharp narwhal
#

There were definitely issues early on, but they haven't been reported as much lately

#

I don't know if that's because there aren't as many people buying the game, or if it's because the issues have mostly been fixed

tender locust
#

well ill try to come back to you if i find a solution

sharp narwhal
#

Thanks!

sage rock
#

Is there a way to play my saved game on a different PC? I'm using the same epic games account but I'm not familiar with they handle it.

toxic trout
#

you'll need to manually transfer your saves!

sharp narwhal
#

They're located in Documents\Saved Games\Hades

toxic trout
#

they're saved in

#

yeah

sharp narwhal
#

yeehaw

#

You can just copy the whole folder over ^^

sage rock
#

Thanks guys!

frosty tiger
#

uhm... nothing, i've been trying to run the game in x86 mode and compatibility mode, still hangs after a while. There are other Intel related errors happening, probably this new patch has changed something that on my NUC SkullCanyon architecture doesn't work

#

those Iris integrated intel cards are pretty bad

#

funny thing, there is a NUC called Hades as well..

#

meaning that whatever google research to find someone with the same issue, is resulting ending up on some Intel product

#

great

#

@sharp narwhal to whom shall i send the event logs?

full crater
#

vens asleep rn but you could send to @analog fjord

tender locust
#

just gonna ask again @sharp narwhal (sorry) , no1 has ever gotten the taste of "error your transaction has been voided" when trying to purchase Hades?

torn yew
#

I've been taking lot's o' screenshots, and the game decided it had enough... I'd love to get that fixed.

toxic trout
#

what do you mean by "decided it had enough"

torn yew
#

My apologies, when I attempt to take a screenshot, it posts the "Screenshot Failed" error message, and rebooting my machine didn't seem to help.

#

My apologies for not thinking to error report it, I was getting a quick run in on my way to work.

toxic trout
#

i've had that happen before but usually just trying to re-take the screenshot has it work

torn yew
#

Unfortunately, it's not worked since I first saw the error message.

tender locust
#

seems like hades cannot be purchased 😄

stone gull
#

still unable to start the game

sharp narwhal
#

@tender locust People have gotten their transactions voided before...you don't live in an area where it's unavailable, do you?

#

@frosty tiger Dexter or Morgan can help you if you haven't messaged anyone yet

#

@stone gull Sorry, I asked this before but, did you try running the game from its .exe file directly rather than through the Epic Launcher? Sometimes issues with the launcher and internet connectivity can prevent the game from starting

stone gull
#

yeah I did

#

just gives me the bug reporter

#

but i cant report the bug because it freezes

sharp narwhal
#

Hmm. Alright, I think you should also probably talk to @thick lava

thick lava
#

@stone gull Do you see any .zip files in %TEMP% or in Saved Games\Hades?

#

@frosty tiger Please DM me your event logs and DxDiag. If you're on a SkullCanyon, I'd suggest updating to the latest drivers directly from Intel

stone gull
#

none in Saved Games\Hades, how do I see temp

frosty tiger
#

@thick lava - i've the latest driver directly from intel. I will send you the Logs and DxDiag. Thank you

thick lava
#

@stone gull Best way to get to temp is to open file explorer, go to the address bar, type %temp% and hit enter

#

you're looking for BugReport_Hades_??????.zip files

stone gull
#

got nothing that mentions Hades

thick lava
#

Start Menu > "Event Viewer"

#

To refresh, you're crashing on launch and the bug reporter is freezing, yes?

stone gull
#

yes

thick lava
#

Generic app hang, unfortunately.

tender locust
#

@sharp narwhal if norway/germany is unavailable i do, but i dont think so 😄

sharp narwhal
#

Well, I hope Epic support gets back to you soon...!

#

@sharp narwhal you'll be pleased to know that they have responded 2 times and both times they mentioned a "fix" which is the one thing that i have told them isnt the issue LUL

Hi. I'm in Japan right now and I'm trying to buy Hades right now. However, Epic Games store is blocking me from the purchase screen because my account's region is set as Korea. Does anyone know any solution to this?

earnest copper
#

every time i attack or dash i feel like the overrall quality of the game deccreases for a split second.

#

and after i dash the game sttuters for a second

#

i this a problem of having a slow coumputer or the game?

#

game is awsome btw

sharp narwhal
#

Hi there! Some people have been having some performance issues after this update, yeah. The game's minimum requirements are posted in #hades-faq , so you can check your graphics card against those!

#

If you have an Nvdia card, you should also check to make sure that Hades is running on the Nvidia card rather than on the computer's default graphics. You can check that using the Nvidia control panel

#

@ivory shoal If there's no clear option to set your account region in your settings, I'd submit a ticket with Epic Games support. There's a category on their help website for updating account information.

#

You might also be able to check the browser version and see if the Japanese region internet connection changes the browser store region

#

Alternatively: try making a new account! I think I remember hearing from you before about this actually, haha
If you make a new account while in Japan, maybe you can change the locale

#

@muted kelp There have been reports of some performance issues with this patch. I imagine it's something SGG is going to continue optimizing

frosty tiger
#

I have only a one and only question: I love your games, and have all of it. But will be Hades after the finalised game support linux? If not i wont buy Hades!.I ask this because Epic will be never linux support!^^

full crater
#

After the completion SGG will most likely be working on making the game more widely available- we can certainly hope for Linux support!

#

However, nothing is certain yet

Game takes picture of menu when i use print screen. By the way i made this screenshot to show how to impossible to survive when on map 5 skullomats and 3-4 wretched witches.

@flint compass i made it but inscription where they are stored disappears too fast. Can u tell me where the screenshots are? 😅

Yea there they are. Thanks

#

Hi, my game randomly crash without any message. Don't know where to look for an answer, as i have no idea on what cause the crash. Thanks

#

Looking at windows event viewer, it's .net runtime that crash. I have the last version installed.

#

Tried netfxrepairtool, no changes

sharp narwhal
#

I assume you've tried googling the error code for specific fixes?

chilly fjord
#

Yes, no answer related to my problem (uninstal Avast, i don't even have it)

sharp narwhal
#

Alright, I'm going to suggest that you hold onto the error data, maybe save it in a text file or something, and hopefully an engineer can help you out during business hours

chilly fjord
#

Ok thanks

potent talon
#

Not sure if gameplay issues belongs here, but the damage % increase of the Artemis’ boons aren’t consistent. The increase is different for every hit of my attack, working very differently from other attack % increase boons where those would give a flat and consistent boost.

I have issue where I am stuck on first level no monster spawn or token powerup spawns and I unable to die or leave the level. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game. This bug affects every file and new game.

placid dust
#

Rail occassionally keeps firing with no input and won't let you dodge while this bug is active. It's gotten me hit wayyyy to often. On top of the other issues reported in feedback, this makes the Rail extremly hard to use.

sharp narwhal
#

Do you use controller or kbm? It sounds like it could be a sticky key or input

dense rune
#

I don't think I've ever come across this... sounds like a sticky key to me

placid dust
#

kbm. both brand new and don't have issues in any other game I play.

#

For instance, I play a lot of Battlefield as an Assault/Support. I can do controlled burst or fire a single shot even in full auto with consistency. (I mean... my aim isn't that great... but at least I can control my recoil)

sharp narwhal
#

Same key?

placid dust
#

left click.

sharp narwhal
#

Hmm

placid dust
#

is my primary attack in Hades.

#

as is my Shoot button in battlefield

#

and I only have this issue with the rail.

#

it's not like I run sword and he just swings over and over.

sharp narwhal
#

It's not an issue I've heard reported before with the rail, is all, so it's just odd. Report it as a bug, I guess? Use F10 and include details about when/how it happens

placid dust
#

oh yeah they did change it so you gotta report in game now huh?

sharp narwhal
#

Yeah, that way they can see your setup and save details, it helps them pin down the issue

sharp narwhal
#

Hi, this channel's only for people who need tech support, so I'm going to clear this message out ^^

weak lily
#

so i dunno if this should be reported as a bug (if so I will) but I just beat the current final bos and after like 100 tries I was very pround since it was pretty hard for me so i took a screenshot but that second the game froze and would not respond. I have the screenshot still tho if I shoud dattach that

#

so basically I just want to know if there is a way to get the pact of punishment still, when I restarted I was also respawened in the house of hades and not the chamber before the boss

toxic trout
#

it'll still register that you beat the boss, as far as i know

weak lily
#

unfortunatelly it didnt but luckily I managed to beat her again , feels pretty good after all this time

mystic breach
#

Just got a bug where changed my resolution from 4K to 2560x1440 and it placed the game in a small corner of my screen and now I can't play. I can hear the menu feedback and sound but the game isn't responding.

#

I had to quit the game from Task Manager. Now my game launches with a black screen. I can hear music but none of the menus or title screens show up. I'm gonna try and reboot.

dense rune
toxic trout
#

you could also try going into the savegame folder (Documents\Saved Games\Hades) and moving the Profile1/2/3.xml files someplace else and relaunching to see if that kicks it back to default settings

mystic breach
#

I had to run the command line options to be able to play again. I then changed back to my 4K resolution and switched to Full Screen as a workaround. Then I disabled the command line options.

frosty tiger
#

Hello everyone

#

few days ago i was here to report a crash on intel NUC skullcanyon after the last patch. I found the source of the crash...

#

if you play hades with an xbox ONE Bluetooth joypad

#

the game crashes very quickly, but it is the BT stack that is crashing not the game

#

the game gets stuck

#

if you quickly remove the battery from the xbox one pad, the game recovers because the Intel NUC loses the connection over BT

#

before this patch, the game was running just fine, so something has changed

analog fjord
#

@thick lava ☝

thick lava
#

We talked in DMs. There isn't really a workaround at the moment

somber prairie
#

im wondering if this has happened to anyone else, but this has happened to me multiple times! sometimes when i hit exit on the main menu, my computer/screen completely freezes up - this only has happened with hades, and i cant ctrl+alt+delete out of it. i cant ctrl+tab out either!

the only thing i can do is hard restart my computer by holding down the power button....

Quick question, I haven't been able to use Window's 10 game capture interface in Hades with ease... Is there any recommended capture software that works well with Hades on Windows 10?

thick lava
#

I generally recommend OBS, or capture software provided by your GPU manufacturer (e.g. Nvidia's ShadowPlay, or AMD's ReLive)

dense rune
#

Can corroborate, OBS works well

torn yew
#

Thanks!

ornate stratus
#

Hi!

I can't get the game to actually go into Windowed mode. I've done what was listed in the tech-fixes section and I have Fullscreen unchecked.

I've attempted to toggle back and forth, restarting the game etc but nothing seems to work. Are there any suggestions?

thick lava
#

@ornate stratus You can try the following launch options: /FullScreen=false /NoBorder=false

You'll need to set that up under settings in the Epic launcher and then scroll down to Hades, and enter them in Additional Command Line Arguments

#

You might need to specify /X= and /Y= depending on your desired window size

ornate stratus
#

Thanks for the response @thick lava ! I did end up doing that from the Tech-Fixes section. This is what I am currently using per the info from that section. Should I alter it?

/FullScreen=false /NoBorder=true /X=1920 /Y=1080

Thank you!

thick lava
#

Yes, you want to change /NoBorder=true to /NoBorder=false to launch the game in windowed mode. If your desktop resolution is 1920 x 1080, you may want to set /X=1600 and /Y=900 if you don't want the game window to fill the entire screen

torn yew
#

And what is the command to show your chamber count?

dense rune
#

It's the same button that brings up your boons during your run. Left Trigger on controller or I think Tab on KBM

potent talon
#

so if you open the codex at the edge you can attack with your weapons, pretty sure that isnt intentional

sharp narwhal

@potent talon please report that using F10 within the game!

I'm not sure where to post but I can't purchase the game cause I keep getting a message that its not available in my region but I can't find anything that says its unavailable in the US. Is this a mistake or is it really unavailable in the US?

sharp narwhal
#

It's available in the US for sure - make sure your computer's region isn't set to somewhere else, that you're not using a VPN, etc. Maybe try reinstalling the Epic Launcher, and if you're still having trouble, contact Epic Store Support.

frosty tiger
#

I get it online and in the app

sharp narwhal
#

Alright. Please contact Epic Support then. Sorry about the trouble!

frosty tiger
#

Done and done. Thanks for the help

No problem!

So I haven't heard from Epic about my region problem so I did a little digging and realized my account says I'm in Korea! And that region does not support changing your country...

Well that would explain it! Can you make a new account from the US?

Hi, I bought the game a few days ago, and ever since I've never been able to quit the game from the main menu. Whenever I hit "Quit" my whole computer freezes and I can't do anything (although my cursor still moves), including ctrl+alt+del. I've checked my Nvidia setting and it is using the Nvidia graphics card. I am on Windows 10.

#

The game itself runs fine and does not freeze. It's only when I hit "Quit" in the main menu

sharp narwhal
#

Sounds like it could possibly be an Epic problem? Have you tried running the game from its .exe file directly instead of through the launcher, and running it as an administrator?

rigid flare
#

I've always run the game from the .exe

#

I can try run as administrator though

sharp narwhal
#

Alright, see if that helps. If it doesn't, the next thing I'd look at would be the error codes, if there are any - you can find them by searching "error" or "event logs" and clicking on "view event logs". Under the windows logs > application, look for the errors caused around the time of the crash, specifically any caused by Hades.exe.
You could also verify your game files using Epic to make sure there are no issues there

rigid flare
#

Actually what I thought was the .exe was just the shortcut for the Epic Games launcher, oops. Where I can find the actual exe though? The game is installed through Epic, so it seems to be only available from their launcher

sharp narwhal
#

Nope, it's DRM free! go to your epic games install directory and you should be able to find it there. C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Hades

rigid flare
#

Ah found it, thanks. Well launching from the exe still causes freezing, with or without running as admin :(

sharp narwhal
#

That sucks, I'm sorry. Guess that's one thing ruled out at least - can you check to see if there are any error codes?

rigid flare
#

Hmm nothing in "Application", they're all info logs

sharp narwhal
#

Hmmm
Well that's all I've got, I'm sorry. Working hours on the west coast are already over, but hopefully tomorrow somebody from SGG can help you out, or maybe other users have had the same issue and know a fix.

rigid flare
#

Okay, thank you anyway

analog fjord
#

@rigid flare This is the first we've heard of this on Hades. If there's no error log, it sounds like the issue may be with Windows rather than the game. What version of Windows are you running? Is it up to date? Are your video card drivers up to date? Can you run DxDiag, hit Save All, and DM me the resulting file?

rigid flare
#

@analog fjord I'm running Windows 10. I believe it's up to update but not sure about the drivers. I'm away right now but tonight when I get back I'll try updating the drivers to see if there's a difference. If it still freezes I'll get you the DxDiag results, thanks.

Hey guys, technical question (don't own the game yet). Has there been any updates on the Linux version? I own every Supergiant game and was disappointed that this one wasn't available at the same time as Windows unlike with Transistor and Pyre.

toxic trout
#

it's still in early access; additional platforms may happen after early access is finished

dreamy coral
#

^^

toxic trout
#

Will Hades ever come to Steam or other platforms? We expect to bring Hades to a variety of other platforms once Early Access is complete, including Steam. That’s not for a while so we can't make any promises here yet.

low ermine
#

Alright, so no news. Just sad since all previous titles had Linux releases much faster (though Bastion was late, that was a long time ago).

#

I figured the engine being ported would make it easy 😦

The engine port won't be done until much later this year either. It's a substantial undertaking.

Ah, ok thanks for the update. Wasn't sure if it was similar to the one used by prior games.

I have massive freezes each time I fight the MegaGorgon, at a point that I can't even play anymore, and if I manage to beat it, I can't play anymore the game is full laggy. The game even crashed earlier.

Has anyone else had the issue where the cursor wont show? i can still select things but no cursor (ive tried restarting both game and computer and having nothing open on my second screen)

Good morning.
Finally I found time to play Hades.
All were well until the keyboard stopped responding. I have not managed to pinpoint under which circumstances this occurred but it has happened to me 3 times over 20 or so runs.
Troubleshooting: unplug the keyboard and plug it in again which fixes the issue. Nevertheless I have not experienced it on any other games on my current setup.

light birch
#

reported the bug for this but was curious if anyone has seen this where the chaos icon overwrites all the door icons?

toxic trout
#

i mean..... that's not a bug?

dreamy coral
#

it is a bug

toxic trout
#

you have the enshrouded chaos boon

dreamy coral
#

oh that

#

yea it does that

#

that is normal

toxic trout
#

@light birch That's not a bug, that's your Chaos curse working exactly as it's supposed to by hiding all chamber reward previews

light birch
#

First time I've ever taken a chaos boon where that's happened

#

With something like 20 runs

toxic trout
#

that's

dreamy coral
#

the chaos boon says it does that

toxic trout
#

proto, that just means you haven't taken an enshrouded boon before.

dreamy coral
#

^^

toxic trout
#

that's what it's supposed to do.

light birch
#

Well then my bad, figured that would be something in the boon text saying that would happen

toxic trout
#

it literally does say that

light birch
#

Unless I'm just speeding through that fast

dreamy coral
#

it does

toxic trout
#

For the next X encounters, chamber reward previews are hidden.

take a minute, hold tab, and read the boon info

I didnt grab any screen caps because I don’t actually know how to screen cap on a Mac running Windows, but in the hydra fight, my bull rush preview as well as my actual bull rush shortened to 1/3 to 1/4 of its intended length

If you use F10 it should still pull up the bug report window, which will automatically take a screenshot and let you report the issue

Afterpatch problem

bronze ibex
#

After the update I'm am getting serious frame drops, and it's only gotten worse the farther in the game I get, and I (in hindsight stupdily) got the explosive arrow upgrade.

#

weather-update I tried tech fixes and went borderless, it reduced the frame drops significantly, but it still happened every now an then.

formal basin
#

Game wouldnt patch, not even acknowledge the update

#

tried to uninstall and reinstall and the game deleted from my library and the launcher treats it like I don't own the game

maiden hollow
#

@analog fjord i tried the first advice about nvidia card and done everything that was written but in list of programms i dont have Hades, only Epic Games launcher

analog fjord
#

@formal basin I'd recommend contacting Epic Support! We don't have any control over the launcher.

frosty tiger

help pls

#

im black screening when i start hades

#

and im in hades itself not the launcher

#

i tried reinstalling

#

and when it did work it doesnt have video only audio

analog fjord
frosty tiger
#

trying to see if it works will get back to you

#

did not fix it

#

im still on a black screen @analog fjord

analog fjord
#

Can you use the F10 bug reporter when you have the black screen?

frosty tiger
#

i tried the website, but i didnt get a drop down menu

#

idk if i can

#

do i just hit f10?

analog fjord
#

yes

frosty tiger
#

it's trying to load and immeadtly says hades stopped working after 10seconds or so

#

so idk if the bug reporter wil work

#

gonna try it

analog fjord
#

Did you try this:

  1. In the Epic Launcher open the Settings Menu
  2. Scroll to the bottom until you see Hades.
  3. Expand Hades
  4. Click "Additional Command Line Arguments"
  5. Type/FullScreen=false /NoBorder=true /X=1920 /Y=1080 into the text box that appears
frosty tiger
#

the launcher via epic games does work

#

with that

#

i get vision and sound now

#

but does it have to be so small?

#

can i adjust the border or does it have to be like that forever?

analog fjord
#

I'm not sure! Now that you can see the game I would recommend trying to change the resolution using the In-Game Display menu

frosty tiger
#

yeah i did it

#

it does work

analog fjord
#

Sounds like you must be using a 4K monitor, is that true?

frosty tiger
#

yeah

#

think so

#

idk how do i check that

i know it's HD

when it comes to hardware specs im not allways on top of what my system is

Try playing, you'll know it isn't updated if you don't get Poseidon's wrath at the very start of the run

Just looked at the controls, there isn't a wrath binding option so I think its out of date

the bug reports are useful because they send your save data to SGG; using that, they can try to replicate the bug

maybe new run I'll try to locate what room or event is causing the ringing to start

@shadow skiff and @quiet siren thanks for letting us know. Make sure to verify, or do a full reinstall if you haven't already

#

@muted sphinx I think the default location is C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Hades but it's possible you installed somewhere else. AFAIK there's no shortcut in the launcher. Also, before you do your fresh reinstall, remember to copy your save files somewhere safe

Hello, tried to find fix in tech-fixes but nothing clicket. I switched PCs recently and installed Hades on my new one, but i found out that save files dont carry over. Do i have to manually go into my old PC Hades files and copy the save file to my new pc or is there some other solution?

#

clicked*

thick lava
#

Yeah, unfortunately you'll need to manually copy over your save files onto the new PC.

frosty tiger
#

oh ok, thats also good- was worried that if i do that, game might consider it as tempering or cheating

#

thanks

thick lava
#

nah, you should be fine to copy your Profile files into C:\Documents\Saved Games\Hades

can I just copy the whole hades folder? or should only copy the specific missing save files?

the whole folder should be fine, this will include any screenshots you've taken

Hey Dexter, ended up resolving the not updating issue by logging into epicgames. I don't turn off my computer much and never noticed I was running the epic games launcher without being logged in, which apparently makes it so owned games can't update.

#

@thick lava just send a pm to you with dxdiag?

thick lava
#

@humble onyx Yeah that'd be best

#

@dusk ferry You're posting in the right place. However, it's best for those types of reports to come through F10 (in-game bug reporter) so that we have access to your save file

dusk ferry
#

Done it

static nebula
#

Hey, guys! I'm trying to move the save game files manually from an old drive to a new one, and I can't seem to pin down the right method. Any ideas?

toxic trout
#

So your old drive most likely has the saves on C:\Users\[NAME]\Documents\Saved Games\Hades

static nebula
#

I tried manually moving the file from the saved games folder on the old drive, but the documents parent folder in my new drive is totally empty. I tried just moving the whole Saved Games folder, but that doesnt seem to have worked.

toxic trout
#

have you actually played the game with the new drive in yet?

static nebula
#

Yeah, I installed it and started a new game in the hopes that it would create a folder for me, but it hasn't. In fact, I can't even find where my new drive is getting that new save data from. As, like I said, my documents folder doesn't even have a saved games folder on my new drive.

toxic trout
#

okay, so, try launching the game, saving a screenshot, and then seeing what file path comes up on the screen

static nebula
#

Okay, brb. Thanks

toxic trout
#

it'll show up like this and that should tell you where the game is saving to

static nebula
#

Uh, maybe this is a dumb question, but by saving a screenshot, you just mean hitting "print screen," right? Or, is there an in-game function I don't know about.

toxic trout
#

there's an ingame function

#

press f11

static nebula
#

Ah, it was using onedrive, for some reason! Thanks a lot! I'll try copy pasting the files there, instead

#

That worked! @toxic trout you're a life saver! Didn't want to grind that 3,000 darkness over again XD

Hi, I wanna ask here before submitting it to feedback. My laptop shut off when I was near the end of the Hydra fight (I was an idiot and forgot to plug my laptop in). Turned my laptop back on and none of my progress of the run was saved. I started again at Skelly's. Is this supposed to happen? I thought the game would be autosaving along the way.

toxic trout
#

that can happen if the game crashes mid-run! it'll 'give up' - which puts you back at skelly as if the run never happened - instead of 'quit'

Hi, The launcher doesn't appear to be updating my game (its pre Murder death Kill) it also removed all the non installed free games I had claimed. Not sure if the two issues are linked but just thought id mention that too.

this seems like its a problem with the launcher, maybe contact epic about this?

#

maybe also back up your save files, uninstall and then reinstall

#

Yea I submitted an support ticket yesterday about the games, I am just now noticing the updating issue so I'm filling out another ticket now

see if mdk is installed then

Hello! Is that possible to add info about changing default renderer to tech-fixes? I mean the one with "/UseNativeOpenGLRenderer=false" launch option. It actually fixed CLR20r3 error when game crashed on startup and it looks like it's also making the game more smooth for some people. I hope I'm not breaking any rules since this option was previously suggested by Dexter.

#

what are you refering to ? i would like to test if it help mine laptop to run the game a bit better

@rain cradle Check the last post in tech-fixes channel above. Also, if you don't know how to add launch options in epic game launcher, check the first post there as well.

@thick lava Thank you for adding the option to other solutions, I hope it will help other people with the same error. Also thanks for letting us know about it too 👍

Hey, can anyone help me? I reinstalled my windows and now all my progress is gone, there are no saves. Is there anyway to get it back?

sharp narwhal
#

If you backed up your hard drive before reinstalling, the saved files should have been on there, but if not, I imagine they're gone. Epic doesn't currently support cloud saves, so the only copy of your saves would have been in your Documents folder on your machine.

Ok, thanks. I thought Epic Games had cloud saves, but yeah...

So, two bugs during my fight with the Hydra using Aegis: the first was that, graphically, the first vertebrae of the Hydra's spine got stuck on 'top of' the layer of the head when it retracted. The second bug was that once, while spamming the Aegis' special, it got stuck, spinning in midair. I couldn't attack, I couldn't use the special. That quickly led to my death.

Just a heads up I've beaten the hydra once, like 1 hour ago, and after that have run into a few sound clip issues. The voice actors lines just aren't playing. I can still read them but yeah the sound clip is muted. 😃

Please report in-game with F10 if you haven't already

yerp already did

Since the last mini update probably 2 days ago, the game is not launching at all...what's going on...:((

sharp narwhal
#

Have you tried launching the game from its .exe file directly instead of through the epic launcher?

safe topaz
#

hahahah...oh you genius...yup that worked. thanks 😄 though wonder why launching it thatw ay wasnt working, used to work before.

sharp narwhal
#

If Epic is having issues or can't connect to the internet, it won't run the game

#

Running the game from its .exe is a good way to rule out issues with the launcher ;)

fickle mist
#

I get a very weird audible beeping while entering rooms. This includes starting the game loading into the game etc.

thick lava
#

@fickle mist Have you tried updating your audio drivers through device manager?

fickle mist
#

Yes I did.

#

What I have realized is that for some reason the epic game launcher is starting in compatibility mode so i wonder if that may have an effect?

thick lava
#

Yeah it might be worth trying to fix that. Although, I'm not sure what effect (if any) compatibility mode might have on Hades

#

You can try launching the .exe directly without the launcher and see if that improves things

fickle mist
#

Compatibility mode is not on and its still making the beeping. Drivers are updated. I also noticed that it seems like the speed of the mouse is different on the x and y axis.

#

either that or i its random mouse acceleration

thick lava
#

@fickle mist Try disabling Mouse Lock in Settings. If that doesn't work, try unplugging and then re-plugging in an xbox controller (if you have one).

hades has stopped working entirely on epic games where as soon as i clicked it it would stop working, I've tried verifying it and uninstalling and reinstalling it and resetting it but it still won't work. is there any solution you can think of?

dense rune
#

Can you launch the game successfully straight from the .exe file located in your install directory? (Epic Games\Hades\x64\Hades.exe)

#

or x86 if you're on a 32 bit OS for some reason

granite narwhal
#

how do i access it through the files

dense rune
#

I just gave you the directory in the last post

#

Whichever directory you installed it in, find the Epic Games folder, then Hades, then x64 (assuming you use a 64-bit OS), then Hades.exe

granite narwhal
#

no windows immediately pops up and says hades.exe has stopped working any other solutions

dense rune
#

Hmmm... That's odd

#

You might have to wait for @thick lava to come around, then. I don't have any other tips that I can think of off the top of my head

#

He may ask you for DxDiag and/or Windows Event Log info

#

I guess you could try running the .exe as Admin

#

I was wrong about that info re: DxDiag and the Event Log being in that channel, give me a minute I'll look up the posts in this channel

obsidian lava
#

Oh shoot, ignore the last message

#

I was trying to report a bug and it started lagging a lot while I was trying to fix some of the text I had put

full wharf
#

the game keeps eating my cursor but its inconsistent so im stuck restarting over and over untill it doesnt bug every time I wanna play :/

#

Actually it used to be inconsistent before but now it seems to have decided to consistently not show a cursor.

sharp narwhal
#

Does turning mouse acceleration on/off help?

full wharf
#

never had that on in my life

#

I actually recvently went over all my cursor settings for a different game I was having the same issue with so its def a problem on my end somewhat but I dont know how to fix it and it stopped being an issue in the other game after messing around with a bunch of ingame settings

sharp narwhal
#

I see...Dexter's been looking into the mouse issues, I think, so he might want your DxDiag info, but it's a weekend so he's not at work.

#

Check in tomorrow during working hours and he may be able to help you!

full wharf
#

OK thanks will do!

hybrid jacinth
#

Gan I get some help with an Hades issue?

sharp narwhal
#

Hi, could you describe the issue you're having?

flint compass
#

it might have your issue there already

hybrid jacinth
#

Hello, thanks I have already checked but sadly its not my case. My saved slot just dissappeared without reason, it was just 3 empty gears. I didnt reinstalled or restarted my lap

Hello, are there any known issues with input lag on a Nintendo Switch controller? I was originally using the alternative method of running the game through Steam for controller support, but now the game seems to support it better natively. I disabled Steam controller support and tried it through Steam, but the input lag is still fierce.

thick lava
#

@oblique canyon Well, not sure about input lag (will have to double check) but I've seen general lag when using a switch controller with rumble enabled

#

wired or wireless?

oblique canyon
#

Wired, but the rumble is enabled. I will try turning it off and see if that helps.

oblique canyon
#

That worked perfectly, buttons felt solid, no more delay, and no more lag. Did I miss a note about that in the tech fixes?

thick lava
#

Nope, but I'll update tech-fixes with this info

#

I discovered it relatively recently but I guess I forgot to add it to the list

oblique canyon
#

Hey, you and the rest of the team are doing an amazing job with this game. I have loved every minute I've played and every update. I wish I had more time to play it. Thank you for all of your hard work and thanks for the help!

marsh latch
#

Hey, I don't know if this is just a problem I'm having but since the game updated I can't alt-tab away from it when I don't have another program open (chrome etc). In the past I've just been able to alt-tab back to my desktop screen but I can't anymore, which means if I want to leave the game and don't have another program open I have to close it. Is this just me, and does anyone have suggestions?? It doesn't matter if the game is windowed, I still can't click away from it.

oblique canyon
#

Have you tried hitting the Windows button or losing Alt+Tab @marsh latch? I was having a similar issue when I posted my issue earlier yesterday and holding Alt+Tab after hitting the Windows button worked.

marsh latch
#

I’ll try that, thanks!

fickle mist
#

You can also try Windows + Tab. Generally I find this occurs when the game is stuck in windowed mode.

Hi, there is this issue with Hades: I've been playing this game for a while and then suddenly fps started to drop anormally. It starts with dropping to 1-5 (?) fps for a second or two, and btw I don't know if this is related but my controller also disconnects from my pc entirely while this is happening, and then it turns back to normal. It does happen time to time, but eventually it becomes unplayable. Also the menu gets really weird after I restart the game, which means controller doesn't function at all, mouse and keyboard somehow functions but not properly.

Here is what I did: Checked my drivers if they were uıpdated (they are), read through tech fixes and tried everything there, I tried launch commands with borderless, reduced resolution etc etc. After I restart my computer this cycle goes back to start but eventually it becomes unplayable again.

patent bronze
#

Update: Honestly I still don't know if it's related but after I connected my controller with a usb game works just fine

thick lava
#

@patent bronze For the record what's your wireless controller?

hybrid jacinth
#

So, theres nothing I can do about a disappeared saved slot?

surreal pike
#

Check #hades-tech-fixes-old, there should be an answer there detailing how to convert a backup to a proper save file

@thick lava xbox one

hybrid jacinth
#

You mean renaming Profile1_temp.sav.bak? I already tried that one

alright gamers i have a tough one. i'm playing hades on my ancient-ass laptop and for the most part it runs well enough to not cause me problems. the issue is i haven't once been able to beat the bone hydra because that's when my CPU performance (specifically the framerate) eats dirt. as soon as you start introducing like four extra heads that are all throwing stuff at you, my poor computer understandably gets kind of sad.

basically: if any of you guys have been playing on a lower-end laptop, is there a way to maximize CPU performance for this game? i really don't think i'd be stuck at the bone hydra if it weren't for my framerate but i don't know what to do about this and i really don't want to be told the answer of "lol get a new computer (that you can't afford)"

dense rune
#

Maybe you've already tried this, but lowering resolution may help

#

Running in windowed borderless may also help

silk cove

hello guys, I'm trying to run the game offline but it says "the given key was not present in the dictionary" I do not know what to do to try to solve, could someone help me?

sharp narwhal
#

You mean run the game from its .exe file, right? Are you getting a windows error? If there's an error code, a supergiant engineer can probably help you, but they won't be available until working hours on Monday.

misty summit
#

Pretty sure no one is awake at this time of night but my game has recently started crashing

#

I get this error message

#

it happens as soon as I start a run in the game

sharp narwhal
#

Have you verified your game files through the epic launcher?

misty summit
#

That's a good idea

#

should probably do that first

#

well my game doesnt crash anymore

#

but im getting an odd stuttering issue

silk cove
#

@sharp narwhal has no Windows error, only the crash screen of the game appears after a black screen, I did not find any specific error in it (I checked all the necessary software if they were updated before running the game)

true cosmos
#

how to use launch options in hades ?

#

i mean where am i suposed to write them

true cosmos
#

ok i figured it out but using /UseNativeOpenGLRenderer=false didn't solved my problem with CLR20r3

#

can someone help ?

sharp narwhal
#

Hi, if you're still having trouble, @thick lava may be able to help. Same for you, @silk cove

true cosmos
#

ok i even re-installed game and typed settings again

#

and it didn;t helped

thick lava
true cosmos
#

thanks

thick lava
#

@silk cove If you submitted the F10 we'll have it in our database over here. I'll look over it. In the meantime, I'd recommend verifying the game install. It's possible you have bad files. Would also suggest updating any video drivers if you haven't already

#

np, let me know if it works

true cosmos
#

@thick lava I reinstalled net framework 4.5 and after that installed 4.5.2

#

and nothing changed

thick lava
#

What version of windows are you running?

true cosmos
#

windows 7

#

32bit

thick lava
#

Yeah, download the universal C runtime for x86, windows 7 from that page

#

and/or install any pending windows updates if you have them

true cosmos
#

@thick lava the problem is i have illegal copy of win 7 so i can't install updates

#

windows update is just disabled

thick lava
#

If that's the case, then you're likely missing the update that installs the universal C runtime. I would try installing it from my last link. However, if that doesn't work, I'm not sure what else I can advise

true cosmos
#

i have "this update is not applicable to your computer" error

#

@thick lava

#

i'll just buy other games then

#

anyway

#

thanks for help

distant basin

hey devs,

I have a notification that keeps appearing on the game that says "Settings for current profile is corrupted, and cannot be read. Default settings restored".
The game also has problem with saving, apparently it doesn't save even though it says that it was saved a few mins ago.
I was wondering if there's a solution for this problem atm ?

sincerely,
JUSTLIKEMIKEZ

#

I already tried verifying & then reinstalling

sharp narwhal
#

Have you checked to make sure that any antivirus software that you have isn't interfering with the game's autosave?
