I saw a post titled "game not saving" in #hades-tech-fixes-old
just now. I'll go read up on that first and see if I can get it working. thanks for the speedy reply

distant basin

@sharp narwhal I got it to work thanks

#

i cant play this game offline why? it sucks and i jsut want to know how to just incase :/

dense rune
#

You can play offline, just launch from the .exe

icy burrow
#

how du

dense rune
#

Find your Epic Games install directory, and it will be in Epic Games\Hades\x64\Hades.exe

I got black screen

#

Sound is there and buttons seem to work via sound effects but I can't see

#

Was working when the update downed

tall valve
#

Thanks

#

Big performance hit with these skills, using the shield if it matters

#

My assumption is that it's simply all the things happening on my special hits (Rupture, double knockback, plus the amount of enemies being hit)

sharp narwhal
#

Hi, when you're experiencing a lot of lag or dropped frames, please use F10 to report it! seeing what combinations of effects and rooms cause lag helps SGG target which things need to be optimized ^^

stark mirage

He's not dying from the lava either

#

And I will try to remember that next time @sharp narwhal

Anyone else have their mouse sensitivity being really wierd in the main menu?

#

hey, i just bought hades, but for some reason when i use my controller, i acn only roll and shoot my bow? when i try and disconnect my mouse, the right stick controls the cursor, but i stll can't move

thick lava
#

@frosty tiger What controller are you using?

frosty tiger
#

piranha trigger

#

i tried adding the game to steam but it just gave me an error

thick lava
#

Try closing Steam and re-launching the game. Sometimes Steam can interfere with controller input

#

usually it's helpful, but not always

#

If you set up custom bindings through big picture mode, those won't carry over to Hades. I'm unfamiliar with your specific controller, but that's where I'd start

frosty tiger
#

didnt work, but i'll try and restart my pc just en case

frosty tiger
#

so apparently the shortcut u get after installing the game isn't the real one, could add it to steam after finding the .exe from the game files

slender osprey
#

So the game just crashed and I lots a whole run. I was in far in Asphodel with some really good boons so i was more than a little dissapointed 😞. I am using an old laptop but i still think it shoudl be fixed?

#

Otherwise the game has been great so far, i'm really enjoying it 👍

sharp narwhal
#

Did the game generate a crash report?

slender osprey
#

nope

#

Thats why i messaged on here

#

And now when i'm playing the the framerate is dropping quite a bit

sharp narwhal
slender osprey
#

Ok i'll try these things, i was just informing the ea so they can try and fix it, hopefully it was just a one off 😁 Tell the devs thanks for making such a great game!

frosty tiger
#

soo sometims when i load my game it cant load completely and i can hear the sound but noting els

#

any fix on this?

thick lava
#

@frosty tiger Are all your graphics drivers-up-to-date? Do you have integrated graphics that might be overriding your GPU? Try some of the black screen troubleshooting tips in #hades-tech-fixes-old

frosty tiger
#

yes all are up to date

#

everyting is fine just sometims

#

the game will not load completely

#

btw i have a question before when u have the reflect ability (boon) u can throw back the bombs or mines at the enemy why can u do it now? is it a bug or is it intentional

marble sparrow
#

couldn't before can now or could before can't now? I know before you could.

frosty tiger
#

yea before you could now u cant

#

it just throws them in the air

#

the mines i mean its funny to see theyr shadows fly in the map

#

the bombs just completely despaired

marble sparrow
#

I was wondering about that myself actually, I haven't used deflect a ton this patch but a couple times I noticed that the bombs didn't seem to deflect the same way as before.

frosty tiger
#

and another question if i can ask why when u have the titan toppler skill whit the shield weapon u cant charger your attack the moment u leave the dash animation u have to wait like 1-2 sec before u can charge your bull rush

#

is it intentional cus i dont play it often i play when i see the big changes so i can see what's new

manic harness
#

For the bull rush question; you have the capability of canceling the bull rush at 50% of the distance drawn when the rush activates

#

They have been playing around with the canceling period over the past patches

#

But you are currently action locked for the first 50% of the distance when you release the bull rush

frosty tiger
#

i dont mean that i mean the interaction whit the titan topper skill and bull rush

#

normally when u dash u can bull rush the moment u left the dash animation but its not the case whit titan toppler

#

u have to wait 1-2 before u can activate it and u have to attack first ( 1 normal swing whit the shield ) before it even chargers

#

its not some major bug or what ever but its kind of weir

#

thats why i ask

manic harness
#

Video clip would be useful if you have one

sour barn
#

I was able to reproduce, give me a bit.

sour barn
#

Also occurs with the Spear, but not the Bow.

dense rune
#

Bug reports should be submitted in-game using the F10 bug reporting feature. You can include links to video and images there as required, and it automatically sends a screenshot with it as well (based on the current gamestate when you press the button). You can also annotate this screenshot with your mouse, but there's no undo feature that I'm aware of

#

Though I understand this is just reproducing someone else's bug, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

frosty tiger
#

well i didnt know 😄

#

to be honest and ty for the info i can easy do it again cus its 100% chance

#

but as i said i wwas just wondering cus i dont know if its bug or not

rapid finch
#

Has anyone else noticed any significant performance issues when using Dionysus' Nasty Dash boon in crowded rooms? Hydra/Timed Survival rooms, especially?

sharp narwhal
#

If you're experiencing a lot of lag, you should report it with F10! it helps the team target areas that need more optimization

rapid finch
#

Will do! I want to give it a few more goes before I do. I've gotten some severe lag in busy rooms a couple of times, and I think I've had Nasty Dash every time it happened, but I'm not certain it's what's causing it.

frosty tiger
#

Hey just jumped on the server for one question: HOW CAN I BUY YOUR GAME??? I have no credit cards. Can I buy your game with a gift card of some sort?? Please help me give you my money!!!!

sharp narwhal
#

I believe you can pay on the Epic Store using a paypal account, but I could be wrong!

#

If you have Paypal, you can pay directly from your bank account, no card needed.

#

But re: gift cards, the Epic Store doesn't currently have a gift card system, I don't think.

dense rune
#

You can absolutely use Paypal, yes

#

You can also buy a pre-paid credit card at a store and use that

sharp narwhal
#

Oh yeah that's a good idea!

Hi, i have a little problem.... I have a i3 8100, rx 580 (8gb), 8gb bla bla, but the fps drop until 30, and when they're not in 30 they are in 40 or 45 fps, someone can help me?

sharp narwhal
#

Hi, the first thing you should do is check to make sure that the game is running on the proper graphics card

#

Hades has a tendency to default to onboard graphics rather than the nice souped up graphics card

chilly gate
sharp narwhal
#

Yyyyyes, I don't read Spanish but that looks right

chilly gate
#

Jajajaj i'm doing my best with the english, if you read something that doesnt sounds good is not my fault jajajaja

sharp narwhal
#

👍

chilly gate
#

I put the game in high performance, that means the game will be work with the dedicated gpu

#

But, the problem did not solve with that... for some reason in the game the gpu dont pass the 40% of use, and the cpu the 55% aprox

sharp narwhal
#

Hmmm

#

Ok, try using this launch option: /UseNativeOpenGLRenderer=false

#
2. Scroll to the bottom until you see Hades. 
3. Expand Hades
4. Click "Additional Command Line Arguments"
5. Type Launch Options into the text box that appears```
chilly gate
#

Ok, thanks

#

Nop, that doesn't work

sharp narwhal
#

Alright. Those are the only two main suggestions in #hades-tech-fixes-old for framerate issues; an engineer may be able to take a look, but since it's Sunday, the Supergiant team isn't at work. They'll be around Monday from 10 am to 6 pm Pacific time, so maybe you can check in again then?

chilly gate
#

Ok, thanks for the patience with the language jaja

dense rune
#

Running in borderless windowed mode may help as well

autumn hare
#

hey

#

I'm planning on getting hades

#

my gpu is out for RMA atm tho

#

how playable is hades on intel uhd 620

#

When I try to change the resolution it doesn't allow me

#

I've uninstalled the game twice and I still get a black screen

<@&456908176877551658> hello guys, I'm having a error in my Hades, the error code is LS-0013 and I have all drives updated including directX

frozen adder
#

Hey there. Unfortunately us mods don't have the answer for you right now. I'm sure SGG will be able to assist you once the week starts back up.

sharp narwhal
#

@autumn hare you can find the game's minimum specs in #hades-faq , and if you look online and compare your intel card benchmarks to those for the one listed as the minimum there, it'll probably give you an idea of how the game will run

median scroll
#

I need to change my laptop screen resolution to 1080p so a black screen won't happen my laptop is 3000x2000

dense rune
dense rune
#

@rugged spade You can try the following to resolve error LS-0013 (Epic Launcher error)

• Exit the Epic Launcher (right click on Epic icon in system tray, select exit)
• Navigate to your Hades install directory — by default this should be in C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Hades\x64\Hades.exe unless you've manually changed the install directory
• Right click on Hades.exe and select Properties
• Go to the Compatibility tab and uncheck `Run this program as an adminstrator`
• Relaunch the Epic Launcher
• Launch Hades
limpid halo
#

You can also launch hades directly

median scroll
#

It worked @dense rune but I can't play fullscreen now

dense rune
#

You can try running it with /FullScreen=true, but it might not work. Unfortunately fullscreen is often part of the problem when you're having display issues with Hades

#

Or just try changing it from inside the game, if you got it to launch

median scroll
#

I tried both but didn't work

dense rune
#

One of the devs might have more things for you to try when they come around, but for now you might just have to live with playing non-fullscreen if you say that worked

chilly spruce
#

I have never had frame-rate issues after playing for many hours. I have an i7 and a GTX 1070. However, this one build seemed to cause a lot of lag for some reason. It seemed like once I got the raptured effect is when it all happened. Maybe Its nothing or unrelated IDK.

sharp narwhal
#

if you're having lag spikes with certain effects or in certain rooms, please report it with F10!

chilly spruce
#

ahhh damn the run is over now

#

noted for next time thanks

ornate heath
#

I dont get Attack boons from Olympic gods anymore, like at all, even if its the only ability without a boon.
I think it started after i got two attack boons from Chaos before getting one from other gods, and couldnt get any until the rest of the run. And now in all of my games attack boons just dont appear.

#

it’s more likely to just be unlucky rng, but if you’re concerned you could always try repairing the game through the epic launcher

chilly gate
#

Any engineer online?

sharp narwhal
#

@thick lava

chilly gate
#

??

sharp narwhal
#

He's an engineer. Could you restate your issue?

thick lava
#

What's up?

sharp narwhal
#

@chilly gate

#

They were having some serious issues with lag after trying everything in tech support;

thick lava
#

Guess I'd see if installing the game on an SSD makes any difference, and would verify that the game isn't choosing integrated etc.

sharp narwhal
#

Yeah, they checked that it was set to run on the Radeon card

thick lava
#

Yeah if all of the off-the-shelf solutions aren't working, it's likely known performance issues that we're constantly working on

#

I'd be curious to know if it drops mostly during combat, or if it's always locked at 30 (and, I'd like to know what program is being used to measure the fps)

chilly gate
#

nop, the drops are during the combat, in the hobby the game work at 60 fps with no problem

subtle drum
#

I know that this isn’t hades but can you help me with transistor because when I try to open it. it does absolutely nothing just the blue circle next to the arrow for a few seconds then nothing

thick lava
subtle drum
#

So the thing is that I have it downloaded on the epic games launcher not on steam

sharp narwhal
#

If the launcher doesn't have a stable internet connection, it won't run the games

#

Also, if the launcher is closed when you're trying to launch the game from its shortcut, the game won't launch

#

You should be able to run the game directly from its .exe file in Program Files\Epic Games\Transistor (I assume)

#

That would bypass the launcher.

dusk geyser
#

hey, I just swapped from GTX 1060 to RX 570 and the frametime is spikey, did I miss something or there is a solution for this? I did turn off vsync and I don't know what else I can change to fix frametime

#

the fps is connected to the speed of the gpu, if I turn down core speed, the fps will go down slightly, if I put it up, it will go up too

#

but it doesnt get rid of spikey frametime

#

the frametime is fine in main menu or esc menu, its only skipey during the gameplay

sharp narwhal
#

I think someone else was having issues with their Radeon card having inconsistent framerates too - if it's something consistent, @thick lava might be interested in that

light smelt
#

Hi all, I've just bought Hades but am having a bit of trouble with it. As soon as I launch I'm getting ridiculous mouse lag coupled with beeping. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the game itself or something else but I've never had it happen before and it stops as soon as I close the game (keyboard works fine as long as I'm not trying to use the mouse)

#

Any suggestions would be appreciated

sharp narwhal
light smelt
#

I have gone through them, nothing there seems to help

light smelt
#

I have resolved the issue, thank you

little raft
#

I'm not sure where else to stick this but I appear to have gotten stuck in Asphodel. I have Poseidon's double knockback on the spear, as well as the spear bounce hammer upgrade, and upon clearing this room nothing has dropped or opened, and lava keeps sending out patches of fire and smoke as if enemies are still on screen. I'm assuming something got knocked back so hard it's stuck in the geometry of the level, but it's hard to say. This was a super fun combo and I'll hate to lose this run, so I hope this is resolved in the future.

#

Hey, this sounds like a bug! Please report this in-game using f10

#

Ahhh okay i will if i encounter it in the future

Hi! My friend is streaming for me Hades on discord and sound from it is V E R Y choppy but sometimes it repairs itself. Quite often when this is happening, turning borderless and fullscreen option on and off helps though not always. Every other program/game/whatever works properly. Do you have any idea is it our or games fault?

sharp narwhal
#

Discord has had issues with Hades pretty frequently. I think I remember hearing that playing in windowed mode can help?

echo lodge
#

That's happening in windowed mode accually! When he turns on and off fullscreen then it gets back to normal for few minutes :V

Hello! I'm having a problem in Hades, a strange problem: using a controller (in my case xbox one via bluetooth) the fps vary a lot between 130 and sometimes even below 30, in the main hub, turning off the controller the fps return to 144 fixed, without ever going down. is there a known fix to the problem? Thanks in advance for your reply.
ps: i'm playin at 2k resolution, and downgrading the resolution lower even more the fps count.

thick lava
#

This is a known issue, and unfortunately there's no workaround at the moment other than to hardwire your controller

Hello there! I've picked up Hades again for a stroll! Been having a blast, but lately I've been getting significant frame drops whereas I never had them before the last major update. Wondering if I might assist in tracking this down if it hasn't been tracked down already.

#

Looking for the right file to edit

dense rune
#

It's not a file to edit, it's a launch option in the Epic Launcher

#
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 Launch Options into the text box that appears

Yup! I got there!

Hello! I’ve had the issue for the past couple weeks that when I launch the game I get only a black screen, the music and the in game mouse on the screen... I can’t proceed any further or get the video to work. I have a fairly new pc that plays new games well. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, updated drivers and everything. It’s been a couple weeks and I’m a bit frustrated because the game is completely unplayable for me. I’ve emailed supergiant support already with no reply. Help!

dense rune
#

Have you tried launching the game in windowed borderless?

iron forge
#

How would I do that? I hate the epic games store... I don’t know how to do anything on it and I feel like it lacks these options but maybe I just don’t know how

iron forge
#

Thank you, I’ll try

iron forge
#

So, that worked. But, so I can’t play in full screen anymore?

thin sparrow
#

If you set the resolution to the same size as your monitor it will still take your full screen up.

#

But it won't be IN fullscreen.

#

Ok. Thank you

OKe your 'Mouse Lock' option in settings, still causes the mouse to feel very weird in the new patch, its less so than before, but still notice, I can work around it using the 3rd party open source application 'Borderless gaming', is there any information I can give you to help solve it once and for all?

Be sure to follow this guide to ensure that the game is using your nVidia card, and not your onboard Intel card:

https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to/pc-components/how-set-default-graphics-card-3612668/

After that, make sure that your Window power settings are set for High Performance while running Hades. Ensure that the monitor running the game is connected to your nVidia video card on the back of your computer.

If there is no option to select your GPU, you will have to manage it in the BIOS. Disable Intel HD and make sure you set PCIe as the default for graphics in the BIOS, don't leave it at Auto

Tech Advisor

We show you how to set a default graphics card in Windows 10, be it Nvidia or AMD.

Hey Morgan et al! I'm playing with the nintendo pro controller for the first time and I'm super happy to see that the game supports it! So far the main problem I'm running into is that the game registers B as the interaction button in menus instead of A, even though i mapped interactions to A. I don't mind getting used to it, but is there a way to fix that?

#

again it's only in menus, it works just fine out in the world

thick lava
#

Yeah this is a known issue, sorry about that

short star
#

no problem! as long as people know I can get used to it :)

Hello everyone, im pretty sure that it is not the best place but still i think devs should know and hey maybe someone already encountered the issue and was able to fix it. Long story short me and my gf are trying to buy the game but once at the end of the transaction in the Epic Store Launcher it says there was an error transaction voided nothing specific, multiple cards, enough money in them, different computers, different IPs, nothing. Now, i know that it is Epics job to solve it or to report to, but we already did so and they could not care less. Point being is that i`m sure that its not only 2 people having the issue so i guess it is in the interest of Supergiant too to see this solved or at least know whats up. Did anyone already encounter this issue and spoke of it?

dense rune
#

People have mentioned issues with purchases on the Epic Store, yes. Unfortunately I don't think there's anything SG can do about it

#

Are there any fixes to reduce the fps loss when going for zeus and dio builds? especially with the new zeus zap after attack effect

#

It was unplayable for me

analog fjord
#

This launch option may help

/UseNativeOpenGLRenderer=false

tawny ridge
#

I experienced that too, was just talking about it on the discussion server, reducing the resolution didn't work, before the update everything was fine

honest hinge
#

I will try, and report back

tawny ridge
#

How do I change that launch option?

analog fjord
tawny ridge
#

Thanks

honest hinge
#

M, if you're trying to find launch options, go to epic game settings, scroll to the bottow and tick "Additional Command Line Arguments"

honest hinge
#

@analog fjord Using /UseNativeOpenGLRenderer=false has completely removed the fps drops. (1080ti with latest GEFORCE driver; 430.39)

#

I will let you know if problems resurface

mystic flint
#

@analog fjord There seems to be a very common bug of the game not realizing there are no enemies left even though the counter is at 0 (such as during trials), this is extremely frustrating and resulted in me having an entire great run nullified as if it never happened T-T (tried to close and open the game instead of giving up). So far this has only happened in the new act and with the egg enemies so i assume it's related to those. I used the sword special attack which made the eggs fly around alot, but im not sure that they flew out of bounds as as i mentioned even during a trial the "enemies left" counter hit 0 but the game didn't continue.

analog fjord

Please report bugs like that using the F10 in-game bug reporter. Thanks!

I still do not have the update 😦

#

Probably an issue with your Epic Launcher - have you restarted it?

austere olive
#

yeah i tried dat, then i tried re-installing the game, but when i uninstalled i wasn't given the option to re-install.

sharp narwhal
#

Hmm, you'll probably want to take it up with Epic Support - there's only so much we can do about the Launcher here. Some people may have suggestions though

wintry raft
#

Is.... The game just supposed to close when you beat theseus ?

#

Doesn't seem like that's right

sharp narwhal
#

Doesn't sound right, nope. Did the game generate a crash report or anything?

wintry raft
#

It didn't, which is what's weird

sharp narwhal
wintry raft
#

thanks

#

yeah, it's a crash, i have the error codes

#

where do you report them again?

sharp narwhal
#

@thick lava would be interested

hushed garnet
#

Is there anything in particular I need to do to download today's update? I'm on PC, and the Epic Games Launcher has auto updates turned on

wintry raft
#

then you have it

sharp narwhal
#

It should download automatically

hushed garnet
#

But I've opened and closed Hades several times, and I'm still on the Murder Death Kill update

#

So autoupdates SHOULD be working, and me having an issue is out of the ordinary?

austere olive
#

yeah i had the same issue

dense rune
#

Try using the "verify" option in the cog on Hades in the Epic Launcher

#

I recall someone in the past had an issue with not updating and "verify" being missing because Epic somehow removed the game from their account so they were no longer considered to "own" it

#

And thus couldn't verify or update

#

So I'd make sure that didn't happen for you

hushed garnet
#

Curious. My Settings only has Create a Shortcut, Auto Update, and Uninstall. So it looks like that isn't the issues

austere olive
#

yeah that happened to me 😦

dense rune
#

Then you'll have to contact Epic support

austere olive
#

look in your purchase history, see if Hades is on there

hushed garnet
#

Oooh...I think I figured it out

#

I think someone else on my PC is the one who originally bought the game, so it'll only update if THEIR account launches the game!

#

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I'm off to see if I can't get that update installed ^_^

Ah, that sounds logical

Uhm, so last night I was playing with my Xbox Controller. The pc still recognizes it (i can play other stuff with it) but hades ignores my inputs and just pretends I didn't connect a controller... Anyone experience this before?

surreal pike
#

Have you tried changing your control settings in options?

grand karma
#

yeah, it won't show the controller at all

#

I'll try rebooting my pc...

#

Well, that did the trick, guess I'm just happy it did? :p

surreal pike
#

Whatever works! Glad you found a solution.

So, for the past week whenever I'd launch the game it would open up and immediately stop responding, but since the update this has happened EVERY time. I've tried to verify the game files, uninstall and reinstall the game, uninstall and reinstall Epic, launching it directly, as normal and as administrator, restart my pc, updated my drivers and did everything again.
The furthest I've gotten at the point of writing, is to the "Early Access" popup before the main menu screen (and I got here by launching the game as administrator for the 3rd time).
Anyone got any ideas to help me?

Hi guys.
Since the update (today) my game lag... it's literraly unplayable after 20-25 chambers. Any solution ?

#

ok, i try this. tks sir

tks, it's work !

#

Just a quick heads up -- I have the command line: /UseNativeOpenGLRenderer=false added which addressed my performance issues after Update 3. However, Update 4 has reintroduced these performance issues in a big big way -- particularly when using the Adamant Rail. Makes the game almost unplayable.

#

Noticed significant performance decreases and FPS dropping to 5fps when using Adamant Rail, particularly with Dionysus, and Posiedon Boons (but generally speaking, once the FPS drops occurs, it's as though everything begins causing these issues).

I have, didn't do any noticeable difference

#

I have encountered a bug where you get a soft lock after bouncing one of those eyeball enemies out of bounds in Elysium. As the enemy spawns, you can hit it and it will bounce a little further without taking damage yet. If you hit it hard enough/enough times, you can see it bounce around the room like crazy, some times it will be high up and all you see is the shadow going around the room. It then despawns and you are stuck in the room after that.

lunar lily
#

From my brief interactions with the new build, it seems to me that the /UseNativeOpenGLRenderer=false command line isn't being properly inserted -- or that it isn't properly impacting the launch condition of the game.

#

There were noticable texture differences when I used this command line argument after Update 3. This time, it's as though we are using the native open gl rendered. IT's as though the argument isn't being applied at all.

thick lava
#

Noticeable texture differences? Can you elaborate? The two renderers shouldn't differ visually

I checked and I am 100% sure that the game is using my nVidia card , but my screen is still black . After poking around a bit I discovered that I can actually select stuff from the main menu and even choose my save . The only problem is that and I am only able to do all this by listening to the sound and looking at the cruisor , which is the only thing appearing on screen . It appears as if the game is running but i cannot get a visual . I really have no idea what is going on. Please help.

Hello all!
First of all, really good job @verbal glade ! As I did with every other of your games, I enjoy every last bit of Hades ! =)
I checked the threads and topics and I think it's in here I'm supposed to post so here it goes (I think you guys use some Jira, Mantis or else):

- Using the special ability while dashing change the position where the special ability is cast (with adamant rail it's easily reproduced)
- Taking damage from boss' projectiles after taking him down (during the black screen) is a bit frustrating :P (especially the big salva from hydra)
- There are monsters (gorgons) sometimes that are waaay out of the "playable area" and flee and sometimes get stuck behind environment and you must go into the lava to end them
- Poseidon's rage sometimes get stuck behind props (especially candles/mushrooms in hydra boss) and you have to do a combination of direction to get out
- Sometimes monsters (witches) are hidden because of first plane environment (maybe a glow could do the trick)
- Bosses that are impervious are not always well displayed (Alecto and Tisiphone notably) are sometimes impervious but the shield has some tint from the character 
- Flurry with Stygian blade, infinite ammo on Adamant rail, equivalent on Coronacht, Aegis should probably work like Varatha's flurry : attack while left click is down ? (for mouse's sake! ^^' )

That's all for now, if those feedbacks are already listed somewhere I apologize! I know you have already loads of stuff to do but if I can help with some Q&A from France then here I am 😃

sharp narwhal
#

@fresh hornet Thanks for the feedback, but the best place to report bugs is actually the game's built-in bug reporter! you can open it with F10 and it will send save information and a screenshot to the SGG team so they can track down the issue

#

@grand rapids Were you standing near there or in the lava when you killed the last enemy in that room?

#

Possibly while using Sea God's Rage?

#

I still don't have the update, ticket sent to Supergiant about 24 hours ago, still no response :\ I think my only option is to just buy the game again

sharp narwhal
#

Supergiant or Epic?

austere olive
#

I have sent tickets to both, have only herd back from Epic.

sharp narwhal
#

Supergiant can't really do anything about Epic Launcher issues

#

Game downloads, purchases, etc. are all Epic-side issues

austere olive
#

yeah, and I just want to play the game, been looking forward to this update for awhile. Love every Supergiant game, beaten them all. If buying the game again is my only option, so be it.

#

hopefully I don't have to buy it again every update lol, but i will if i have to.

Game just stopped responding (cycling sound, stopped image, and after alt-tab or two - just gray screen and Windows "has stopped responding" message) when I tried to pick up Darkness after finishing a room in Elysium, no crash log, no report window, no nothing. When I reloaded, I was at house of Hades, before start of the run
When it happened I had +200% Darkness from Chaos, and I just picked up Poseidon +75% of rewards, might have something to do with this

are there any known issues with radeon/freesync? I swapped gtx 1060 to rx 570, removed drivers with DDU and installed latest radeon drivers but the frame time changed from constant (normal, almost the same all the time) to this crazy mess and is all over the place... it was like that before new patch too. it only happens when I'm in game, the frame time is constant when I open tab menu, esc menu, stay in main menu etc, so the game itself makes the frametime crazy

dusk geyser
analog fjord
#

@dusk geyser Is this happening after playing for a while, or as soon as you load the game?

dusk geyser
#

as soon as I can control character

#

the moment the game is paused or rather I cant control the character, its fine

#

I'm sure it was fine with gtx 1060 so my guess is vsync/freesync limiters on rx570 or something similar but I turned all I could off and couldn't fix it

Unfortunately not, if you didn't make a backup. Epic Games does not currently support cloud saves (though it's on their list of features to add)

Hello 😃 My game client crashed and now I can't launch anymore. I also can't uninstall as Windows tells me I don't have permission to the x64/hades.exe file. Is this a Windows problem?

If you go directly to the program files folder, can you run the game by clicking the exe file?

#

C:/Program Files/Epic Games/Hades/

orchid stream
#

I can't. The logo isn't there on the file either so it looks corrupted. I was able to reinstall Hades on a new location and get into the game but now I have just this file sitting there and I cant delete it

sharp narwhal

That's odd...does your computer have multiple accounts on it or anything?

orchid stream
#

Nope. Fresh Win10 install as of last week too

#

I tried to take control of the file as well and that failed.

Hmmm. I'm not sure! I'd guess it might have something to do with Epic's permissions, but I don't know.

I've even totally reinstalled; it doesn't crash, just stops responding. Sometimes it will start responding again in 2-4 minutes, but not every time.

@DenverN.#9207 There are known issues with 4K; have you tried the fixes in #hades-tech-fixes-old ? Make sure your graphics drivers are also up to date

#

@patent bronze Yeah, wireless controllers have had some issues with the game; I don't know that there's a fix for it right now. I'd suggest just using a wired controller instead

I assume you're not using Steam Controller, but if you are, turn it off and install native drivers for the controller

Is there a fix for rag involuntarily sprinting in random directions? it happens randomly and the amount of time it lasts is also random...

sharp narwhal

Sounds likely to be an issue with your keyboard or controller. Make sure your drivers are up to date, etc.

untold sandal
#

@dense rune Well I've played a few hours running it now, crashes when enetring new rooms sometimes but overall playable until I hit a map where it crashed everytime.

tacit flax
#

@sharp narwhal my drivers are up to date, what other things do i think to look out for?

sharp narwhal
#

Are you using keyboard and mouse, or controller?

tacit flax
#

keyboard&mouse

sharp narwhal
#

Do you have an alternate mouse or trackpad you could try, to see if it's an issue with that one specifically?

tacit flax
#

i don't unfortunately...😫

sharp narwhal
#

Oh dear...how about a USB controller?

#

I still think it's an issue with your hardware, since I haven't heard anyone reporting issues like this before, but if you don't have any spares, you could try the mouse fixes in #hades-tech-fixes-old , like disabling mouse lock in settings

#

You could also make sure you don't have "sticky keys" turned on on your keyboard, which can sometimes happen by accident. That would be in your keyboard settings in control panel

tacit flax
#

problem fixed i think, reinstalling mouse driver worked, thanks!😁

I've been having issues with input lag with hades using a controller. There are times when I'm playing and then for a few seconds I can't move Zagreus. After a few seconds, the remote seems to be playing normally again. The controller is a wireless xbox controller with adapter for Windows 10. I changed the batteries, so it's not that. When I start up the remote, some sort of c++ error window pops up but the remote still works.. I also have broken spear point equiped if that makes a difference

sharp narwhal
#

There have been several reported issues with wireless controllers; if you have a cable, I'd recommend just using it wired instead

#

Make sure the drivers are up to date as well

#

sadly... I don't have one, I'll try the keyboard for now. I'll give the drivers a look too. thank you @sharp narwhal

obsidian lava
#

How do you launch from offline? Tried launching the .exe file and it didnt work

dense rune
#

The .exe is precisely how you launch offline, not sure why it's not working for you

#

I suppose make sure you're launching from the appropriate 64- or 32-bit .exe?

obsidian lava
#

Lemme try

obsidian lava
#

It worked! Taking it out of it's respective file probably messed stuff up

dense rune
#

Oh, yeah, that probably would mess things up

sharp narwhal
#

if you want to easily access the .exe, you're best off right clicking and selecting "create shortcut", then putting the "offline shortcut" on your desktop @obsidian lava

#

then you can use that instead of epic's "online" shortcut

Hey guys. I am having some problems with the game. I submitted an issue with the in game bug reporter, however I would like to take a more hands on approach, what do guys think would be the best bet. In here or on reddit perhaps? Anywhere else?

sharp narwhal
#

It depends what issues you're having - could you be more specific? We have a lot of quick fixes in #hades-tech-fixes-old for common issues, and for more complex things, an engineer may be able to help you

pseudo yew
#

Absolutely, and thank you for replying!

I looked through the tech fixes, unfortunately without any luck.
To be honest I don't even know if it is a problem with Hades.

So, here's what wrong.
When I launch the application and it runs for about 30 seconds to a minute everything freezes, mouse-input, keyboard-input, the screen. Everything except for the sound. The sound (music) keeps playing. It freezes for about 10 or 20 seconds, and then everything is back to normal for about 30 seconds, then it all freezes again.

At first I thought it might be a windows update thing. Some windows patches has been known to cause odd errors, so I updated to the latest version.
Then I updated my graphic drivers.
Then I uninstalled my anti-virus as it was hogging a lot of resources when the game was running.
I tried all the quick fixes from discord, running the application i window-mode, unlocking the mouse.

I discovered, by coincidence, that if I run the game whilst having an android phone plugged into the computer, and the game freezes -- if I then disconnect and reconnect the phone it kind of forces a refresh and the system unfreezes ... for about 30 seconds, then it freezes again.

Sometimes after I exit the application the freezes persist. Which is why I am uncertain that it has even something to do with Hades.
I can only reproduce this behavior with Hades, however, no other application or game -- as far as I have tried.

I have read a lot about freezes both in here and on reddit, however, nothing like what i am experiencing. The behavior is the same throughout the entire game. Nothing special on exit or when loading or going between rooms. Its always the same.

sharp narwhal
#

That is indeed very odd! Have you tried running the game directly from its .exe file, or is this behavior from the Epic shortcut?

pseudo yew
#

I have, its all the same.

#

I just saw another windows update come in though. Let me restart and see if it by offchance would do anything.

#

huh, would you look at that. I runs fine now :S
That is so weird. Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
It might just be temporary but for now, I will take it!
Thanks a lot.

sharp narwhal
#

No problem! Let us know if you have more issues

#

Perhaps SuperGiant knows I have no more exams since today, and they wouldn't let me play during the time leading up to them.

#

#

#

Hope it keeps running smoothly for you!

#

#

Hm, I spoke too soon. But the freezes are much more infrequent and are rather short. Its actually playable now. I'll have to do some more testing now that I another state of the system. I'll report back with my findings.

@pseudo yew I read your original report and was pretty baffled. I'd try reinstalling your GPU drivers. It almost sounds like a hardware issue to me.

Hello everyone. I am running Hades on the integrated Vega11 of a Ryzen 2400G with 3Gb of VRAM allocated out of 16Gb of DDR4 RAM at 3000mhz (and that's about all my pc). This iGPU is capable of running Hades at 60 fps at 1080p, I am sure of it. Still, every time I encounter an enemy the fps drops to 30 - 40, also in some rooms where there are no enemies. This happens at 1080p and also on 720p. I am pretty sure it's not my hardware or drivers (everything is up to date and installed in a clean manner). What do you guys think? It's still playable nevertheless, and really awesome btw.

I've got one with sli m650GT it plays Dead Cells fine

sharp narwhal
#

You can see the baseline specs required in #hades-faq , I believe

floral quarry
#

yea thanks

frosty tiger
#

is a vega11 not capable of running the game at 60fps or is optimization still being worked on?

sharp narwhal
#

Optimization is always a work in progress, since the game is in Early Access - you can compare your specs to the minimum specs listed in #hades-faq

frosty tiger
#

well, mine are well above that

#

I have a ryzen 2400G with 16gb of ddr4 and 3gb allocated to the vega11

sharp narwhal
#

Other than double checking to make sure the game is running on the dedicated graphics, all I can think is that yeah, optimization is still being worked on

frosty tiger
#

I don't have a dedicated gpu, I run all my games on the integrated Vega11. It can run cs:go for example, full detail at 100+ fps, so I really don't think my hardware is the cause

sharp narwhal
#

Alright, it's just a common issue, so it's worth asking

frosty tiger
#

It can play hitman at medium detail so I don't think Hades should break a sweat on it

#

Anyway, I will wait and see if further updates fix anything. I would really appreciate if APU performance is something the devs are looking into. These AMD APUs are pretty wide spread and they are made exactly for games like Hades, Transistor...It would be a real shame if I had o buy a dedicated GPU when the integrated one should run it just fine.

I'm in 1680x1050 resolution the game plays in a letterbox will they add a fix for this?

#

I know it's a weird resolution but it works

I'm using Windows 10, and the OS mouse speed seems to increase when I quit the game. Am I the only one with this issue?

I'm unable to use controller with the game. Please help

#

I can't find any specific post regarding controller setup either

toxic trout
#

what controller are you trying to use?

Wireless

#

Nevermind figured it out

#

The controller had shut down while the game launched

Hi. I have a 4k monitor and the game was lagging, so I turned down my resolution. Now the game launches with a black screen

#

I went into the epic launcher settings menu and added launch options in an attempt to manually set the resolution, but I'm not sure how to actually change the launch options

#

Disregard that second message. I was about to figure it out. But I still seem to be having issues with Fullscreen.

And lag

quick question. I can pick 3840x1080 for my displey but the game never changes to that view. Is it something I'm doing wrong?

Hi. I have a very fast PC: 9900K, 2080 Ti, Gsync screen. No stuttering or frametime problems on any of my other games. Yet I installed Hades and while the framerate remains relatively consistent (118-120 fps), there is a noticeable, and very annoying, stutter that appears to coincide with frame time spikes. I've tried everything I can think of, including enabling/disabling vsync, same with G-sync, changing max pre-rendered frames, full screen mode, windowed mode, using mouse/keyboard, using controller. I always have the stutter, and it's constant. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this, please?

Running into the sticky mouse lock issue. The suggestions in tech-fixes do no apply. Starts as soon as the game is launched so I cant get past the menu. Basically it lags and beeps. I reinstalled win 10 last week and I'm using a logitech g502

Is there anyway to force the game to launch in window mode?

@dark otter Are you using a wireless controller?

dark otter
#

The controller was yeah

#

But my keyboard and mouse are wired

sharp narwhal
#

Was the controller's receiver still plugged in when you switched to MKB?

dark otter
#

nope

sharp narwhal
#

🤔 Well that's about all the suggestions I have - I know wireless controllers in general have caused a lot of grief and strange bugs, so I'm not surprised to hear you're having trouble...maybe someone else has some advice? SGG will be back in the office on Monday PST and may have some suggestions too

dark otter
#

yeah, im ok waiting. the game is so much fun and for on;y £5 in the epic sale it's worth holding on to

#

does fell like something that should be addressed rather quickly though as most the people i know use bluetooth controllers and would probably refund it

empty marlin
#

has anyone else had an issue where they enter your bedroom and megera is standing there and your desk has a key on it but you cant move and the courser has disappeared? I've completed 85 runs and defeated the bone hydra on my last run if that means anything

toxic trout
#

that was the first time you beat the hydra, i take it?

empty marlin
#

yes

toxic trout
#

hey @sharp narwhal , you might have a better memory than me on this - there's dialogue from zag when you unlock the pact, right?

sharp narwhal
#

"What's that on my desk?"

toxic trout
#

yeah

sharp narwhal
#

event conflict, huh?

toxic trout
#

it sounds like the game's getting its wires crossed

sharp narwhal
#

I thought that might be the case

empty marlin
#

zag says that line for me but nothing else happens

toxic trout
#

what i think is happening is that the game can't decide which event to play - talking to meg, or revealing the pact on zag's desk - so it sort of botches both of them and softlocks

#

hmmm

sharp narwhal
#

that sounds like a reasonable guess

#

can you hit F10?

#

Wizard I mean - or are all your controls locked?

empty marlin
#

ill try

sharp narwhal
#

at the very least it should be bug reported, haha

#

an edited script file may be able to get you out of the softlock

#

change the conditionals on the meg convo

toxic trout
#

i'm looking at it now

sharp narwhal
#

you could just add some random conditional - the lounge convo with than for example

toxic trout
#

@empty marlin - when you load your save, what room are you in?

#

hopefully the game hasn't autosaved you into the bedroom 🤔

empty marlin
#

when i load the save I'm running into zag's room, but stop when i would normally be able to move

toxic trout
#

right.... ablobthinkzerogravity

Hi Hades team, I "deadlocked" the game by pressing E to start a run while an arrow of my bow was hitting the training skeleton, now I am in front of the first boon but I can't take it since the game considers I'm in battle ("Foes nearby!" message), I could give up and start again. Didn't manage to reproduce it though 😅

I think I was at 19 runs, and now no save, any solutions somewhere?

odd zenith
#

so, are anyone else here having an issue where after a few runs, every character but Zag stops voicing his lines in conversation dialogue?

#

it's happened to me 3 days in a row, usually happens after a run or two

#

actually, if I alt-tab out of the game and alt-tab back in again, the lines play

#

but I have to do it every time a character that isn't zag talks

analog fjord
#

I've been trying to figure out what causes that to happen for ages. If you can figure out what causes it to start happening I'd love to know.

cosmic oyster
#

I don't have a screen, but I just had a convo with Thanatos at the House. Zag says something along the lines of "I would like to see what it's like for myself." But the text says something else entirely. I just can't recall what it was because I click it by before I realized what I was reading DDX.
But if this'll help ya http://prntscr.com/nr7jyu

Sorry, that's a known issue. Unfortunately there's no workaround at the moment (other than to play wired in)

Alot of people including myself are getting horrible horrible framedrops since last patch, while it used to run like a breeze. People think it's a memory leak. Have the devs adressed this?

wet garnet
#

Yes

thick lava
#

Okay, thanks for letting us know. If the frame spikes are localized to a particular area, that would also be helpful to know

toxic trout
#

I've noticed weird framerate issues after entering rooms - most notably in Elysium, but also, to the point where the screen stays dark for a few seconds when entering boss rooms - and also when beginning a run, if I try and take the boon/hammer before the Tartarus text has had time to appear on screen, which didn't happen prior to the Beefy update

dark otter
#

@thick lava is it something that's actively being worked on ? a lot of people use bluetooth controllers now

wet garnet
#

When I try to use a weapon in the storeroom it's the worst (as in goes down to 10FPS) during fights. It's completely random, some fights will be crazy and i'll get a steady 60fps other times it's a few enemies and it drops to 20. I don't even use a bluetooth controller

thick lava
#

Thanks for the added info on where the frame drops are. I'll log a bug for it. @dark otter If you're playing with an XB1 controller, I have a bug for that in the works -- if you have a different controller, please let me know

dark otter
#

Yeah it's an xbox one s controller, thanks for the fast reply

short vault

I have a large (43") and a small (24") monitor.

If using mouse and keyboard, the mouse cursor size stays the same on both monitors regardless of the resolution used. The mouse cursor can be easily lost in the game world details on the larger monitor.

I understand that controllers are recommended at this point, but apart from this issue there are no problems with using mouse and keyboard for playing the game.

Suggestion: add a mouse cursor size option in the menu.

The only other issue I have faced with mouse and keyboard controls is that keyboard input cannot be used to interact with menu items i.e when selecting boons, but that is not a major issue since menu interactions don't happen during combat.

thick lava
#

What's the resolution of the larger monitor? My guess is Windows 10 display scaling is contributing to the problem

short vault
#

It is 3840x2160, but the game cursor stays the same even if I set the game to 1080p.

thick lava
#

We use the system cursor, so it should stay the same size regardless of resolution

#

I have a 4K monitor here, lemme check

short vault
#

It does! The physical size is rather same on a 1080p 24" monitor and 43" 4K monitor. On desktop this is not an issue, because the real-estate can be used to show more of any program or multiple programs at once. It's just more real estate. While when playing the game, the game will appear to be "more zoomed in" on the 4K monitor (for the same screen real estate) while the cursor size stays the same.

#

Changing to 3x scaling fixes the issue, but this needs to be set every time the game is booted. The cursor will appear slightly blurry, but it will be similar relative size of the game view as it is on the 24" monitor.

thick lava
#

Interestingly enough, increasing the pointer size in settings had no effect for me. Duly noted

short vault
#

Scaling fixes it though I think an option would still be a better idea than having to set scaling every time the game is launched.The game window is fixed size regardless of resolution and monitor size, and cursor is used differently in a game and on the desktop.

#

I just posted the picture for clarity, it's not a critical issue and scaling can be used to fix it. I mostly play on controller anyhow, but it's just something I noticed. I do use the same cursor size across all monitors on desktop. It's just that with most programs larger monitor means more space for toolbars. Inside the game, on a larger world the game will appear more zoomed in and objects are bigger, but the cursor size stays the same.

#

Nevermind with the keyboard in menus thing though, I don't know why I couldn't use it to interact with menus before, but it seems I can. :()

#

I have an issue where when I go to the mirror to upgrade my stats it goes up by 2 levels if i have enough darkness to do it and so the only way i can get 1 level is to spend my darkness on something else so I only have enough to get 1 level of it and then remove it from those other traits, but if I don't have enough for 2 levels then its fine. I tried running the game at 60hz instead of 144hz to see if that fixed it but same issue

Hmm, I seem to be stuck in Asphodel because I think a Charmed enemy killed the last one and died itself, now the exits are locked and there is no reward spawning, anyone else faced the same issue?

anyone having issues launching the game?

#

i'm stuck on this but the game doesn't start

#

never had that issue before

valid zephyr
#

Strange. It's working fine for me. Have you tried rebooting the computer? If that doesn't work, possibly uninstalling and reinstalling the game (make sure to create a backup of your save files).

frosty tiger
#

already did all those

#

my gpu kernel crashed earlier and I did a fresh uninstall and reinstall of the drivers on safemode

#

all other games and apps work

#

only hades is having an issue

sharp narwhal
#

Does the bare .exe file work if you dont try to run it through epic?

frosty tiger
#

oh yea let me try that

#

it took a really

#

really long time to launch

#

but it did launch from the .exe

sharp narwhal
#

Sweet

frosty tiger
#

I wonder what the issue is

#

everything else runs like before if not faster after some cleanup that I did

sharp narwhal
#

Since you had to redo everything with your gpu, have you made sure that the game is running on the right settings?

frosty tiger
#

my rig is 4990k 1080ti

#

ya

#

I checked nvidia settings aswell

sharp narwhal
#

🤔

valid zephyr
#

Perhaps try to revert Windows to a previous Restore Point if you have that feature enabled

#

Should fix any registry and app issues, etc

#

Saved me before

frosty tiger
#

hmmm I did some registry cleanup with ccleaner and restarted my pc

#

tried to launch through epic

#

and it launched like usual

#

🤔

sharp narwhal
#

🤷

frosty tiger
#

I mean that's great I guess but I wonder what the issue was

sharp narwhal
#

Yeah...well if the registry cleanup fixed it, maybe something was still just a little out of wack

#

Can you review a log of what was changed?

frosty tiger
#

I didn't press save after cleanup on ccleaner

sharp narwhal
#

Well at least we can assume it was a registry issue...

#

So that's a start

frosty tiger
#

yea

#

I really should have saved a copy of the errors LULW

#

oops

#

oh well!

you could revert back to earlier windows and do the whole shebang again fgshfkg

#

I've read the sticky notes, didn't find my issue so I hope someone can help me, it's very simple and not a big deal.
In the mirror, or in the heat toil, I just cannot only add "+1" to any upgrades, neither can I subtract "-1", it always goes 2 by 2 points, and it has been a while it's not only with this update it's really odd.
Also when I just boot the game, the very very first "+1" that I do works, but after that I can only do it 2 by 2. I tried fullscreen, windowed, borderless, Graphic card 1080 up to date... if you could help :)

sharp narwhal
#

Someone was talking about a similar issue earlier...very odd. I'd say bug report it with F10?

#

But 🤔 I'm not sure

#

Like to me it sounds like a hardware issue

#

A sticky input or something

fathom hill
#

I'll report it with F10, thank you

#

But if it's an issue with the mouse that click twice, I should have noticed the issue before right?

#

On my desktop, on my browser... I guess

sharp narwhal
#

Yeah...I assume you tried the mouse settings and such in tech fixes

fathom hill
#

Yeah, i tried to disable mouse lock, it didn't change anything

#

going to try some other fixes, reading the forum posts about mouse lag/beeping even though my mouse is not lagging, will see

#

with a controller it's working flawless btw, but I prefer mouse/kb

Hey! I just bought the game. Launched it, started without any issue, the title screen was smooth. As soon as I launch the game, and the first cutscene begins, the whole thing slows down and starts to stutter. I tried waiting for the cutscene to finish, after that the game remained in that state, which I would say is unplayable. I tried the game on my laptop, and found no issues there. My PC has an AMD Radeon 285X GPU. I hope somebody can address the issue and help me. Thanks!

sharp narwhal
#

Hey there! Have you made sure the game is running on the proper graphics card? There are tips for that in #hades-tech-fixes-old

agile cloak
#

Oh, I thought those were nVidia specific problems. I've tried some of the fixes there, but not that. I'll check it now.

#

According to task manager the game uses the proper graphics card.

sharp narwhal
#

Alright, I assume your graphics drivers are also up to date?

agile cloak
#

yes

sharp narwhal
#

Alrighty. My other suggestion, just because the Epic launcher can cause issues, would be just to give running the basic .exe file a shot - it should be in Program Files/Epic Games/Hades/x64

agile cloak
#

Should I close the launcher completely?

sharp narwhal
#

No, that's not necessary

agile cloak
#

Okay

#

Could it be a problem, if the game is not in the launcher's folder?

sharp narwhal
#

🤔 I'm not sure! Were you able to find the .exe?

agile cloak
#

Yes, the game is installed on drive D, while the launcher is on drive C

#

I ran the .exe anyway, the problem is still there

#

I will try to reinstall the launcher and the game on the same partition

sharp narwhal
#

Alright. If you continue to have problems, an engineer would probably be interested in seeing your DxDiag, but the Supergiant staff are off for the weekend - regular work hours are weekdays, 10 am to 6 pm Pacific Standard Time

agile cloak
#

I reinstalled everything. The problem persists.

dark otter
#

@agile cloak you using a wireless controller? That did it to my game

agile cloak
#

@Lightfoot21113 no, i'm not

#

@dark otter

#

It's wired, speedlink if I remember right

strong sedge
#

i had an unresolved issue i mentioned here that i have now resolved, zag's stutter step walking was being caused by a keybaord repeat rate setting above "Default"

#

returning this to default rate fixed the issue i was having since beefy update

sharp narwhal
#

🤔 very interesting!

#

thank you for the update

Hello! Yesterday I have posted an issue here about the game being very stuttery except in any kind of menu. I seem to have found what's causing this.

sharp narwhal
#

Oh? Please share!

agile cloak
#

It seems like my controller somehow messes with the game. It's a simple speedlink controller, wired.

#

When I unplug, the game runs without any issue.

sharp narwhal
#

Hm! It's possible that the game doesn't support that controller specifically; major console controllers (PS4, Xbox, etc.) don't have issues.

#

That's useful to know!

agile cloak
#

I see. I will try an xinput emulator, see where that goes.

sharp narwhal
#

I assume you made sure its drivers were up to date and such, right?

agile cloak
#

Not with the controller. Completely skipped my mind to do that. I will try some things and report back.

sharp narwhal
#

👍

agile cloak
#

Yeah, I've tried emulating, drivers are up to date. The problem didn't go aeay

I've been having a lot of framerate issues too and I'm using an official Xbox controller. That being said it's wireless, so that might be the issue, since it was mentioned earlier? (I've been trying to pinpoint what might be the cause but so far all I have is wild guesses)

lost parrot
#

The Hades FAQ on the SG website answers the controller question this way:
Does Hades have controller support?
Yes! The game should automatically work with PS4, Xbox, Switch Pro, and other XInput controllers. If you run into issues, try disabling Steam Controller support in Steam.

#

Could anyone explain why it mentions Steam?

toxic trout
#

iirc, steam controller support can mess with keybindings that the controllers use, so disabling it would likely fix those problems

#

don't quote me on that though

lost parrot
#

Oh. Interesting.

lyric walrus
#

is there a trick to get the xbox controller to work ingame?

#

sorry just seen the post

#

how do you dis able steam controller everything i see does not really help

valid zephyr
#

I'm thinking based on the changes made in modern Windows versions and how games are programmed nowadays, if your controller doesn't have native XInput support then it's probably going to cause your more headaches than it's worth. Logitech makes inexpensive Xbox clone controllers if you are interested in saving a bit of money. (last time I bought one they featured an XInput <--> DirectInput selection switch on the back)

Hi everyone, small question it's maybe me but I think I didn't meet aphrodite in like 10 runs now, I usually take her first since her weak effect is quite helpful with a lot of heat and I stalk her since I need to offer her some ambroisie for my last item so I'm quite sure more my attempts =/

I had an interesting bug where I activated the Ares Wrath and at the same time dashed against a destructible pillar. The game thought that I was still casting the Wrath ability while colliding with the pillar canceled both the animation of the blade-spinner as well as its hitbox while allowing me to remain impervious. Assuming that wasn't intentional.

The game stutters a lot if I launch it through the epic launcher. It works fine if launched from the main game folder (hades.exe). Any help?

sharp narwhal
#

If it's Epic, it could have something to do with your internet connection, or just with having more processes running on your machine; you could try running the Epic Launcher as administrator but tbh I'd just suggest to run it outside the launcher if it's causing issues. The launcher's only necessary for downloading updates.

Thanks for the reply, ill keep running the game outside the launcher. I guess that the epic launcher is not well optimized yet or it is just too demanding for my pc 😄

Hello guys! I'm really loving Hades, and the first runs it was performing great, but now the game consistently crashes at some point of each run (usually on Asphodel). It freezes and I can't even report the bug with the F10 thing. After crashing, when I start again sometimes it just loses the whole progress of the run and other times I can continue from the same room, but looks like the run is corrupted anyways because it tends to crash again at pretty much the same point.

Is there any way I can help you to track and solve the crashes? Like sending you logs, recording a video of the run or something..?

Windows generates error logs that could be helpful, but @thick lava would know more about that.

thick lava
#

@plain hedge You can email your save file to us at support@supergiantgames.com since it sounds like it reliably crashes when you try to load it. Any errors related to Hades that you can find in Event Viewer would also be helpful!

plain hedge
#

Thanks for the quick answer @thick lava !

Yeah, it's probably related to the save file, because I've even tried to reinstall the game but the crashes still go on. I will send you the files so you can check them out.

#

About the Event Viewer, it definitely shows some stuff about Hades, but I'm not familiar enough with this program. Can I export the errors to some text file so it's readable? Or what information are you exactly looking for? Also, it's in Spanish, I'm not sure if that's a problem.

thick lava
#

I usually just ask people to copy the content of the *General tab. I believe there's an XML export feature under Details, but I don't find it very useful

#

What's the .NET Runtime error? I don't recognize the error code in the screenshot you provided

plain hedge
#

Here you go, this is the .NET Runtime error General tab:

#

thick lava
#

Okay, thanks. This verifies that it's the same error. I'll log this

plain hedge
#

Cool! Still want me to send the Save Files to the mail, right?

thick lava
#

Yes, that'd helpful, as well as your DxDiag information. I'm not sure we'll be able to reproduce this given what the error code is, but it can't hurt to try!

plain hedge
#

Alright, email sent

#

Do you think deleting the save files and starting a new game would be useful? Actually that save only had 2-3 hours and I don't mind to reset if that means I can play the game

thick lava
#

It's possible. If you haven't tried a full restart, I'd do that before deleting saves

plain hedge
#

Okay, I will. Well, thanks for your help, you've been really nice! Also, keep up the good work with the game, it's awesome (:

terse pebble
#

Hii guys, every time I turn on the game, I can only play for a brief while, then the screen freezes ( the game still runs in the back). I can restart the game but it always gets stuck at the same room and I need to get myself killed and then restart the game. I was unable to proceed in the game because of that. Is it something that happens to more people or is it just me? Also, is there any way to fix this? I run a Dell XPS 13.

Hey don't know if it's been talked here before but I'm experiencing a serious frame drop after upgrading my card from asus 750ti 2gb to asus dual oc rx580 8gb, that's a serious upgrade to be having issues I didn't have. Any ideas to help me?

proper mesa
#

Hey, not sure if it's come up but I just had my save file reset on me.
I might have miss clicked somewhere going in (playing on gamepad though so seems unlikely), or it might have had to do with the fact that I had put me previous run on pause twice.

#

Looking at the menu again I might have miss clicked. :/ Might recommend for gamepad users the addition of a requirement to hold down the button to confirm a save reset

Found an issue where the Codex pop-up windows does not close properly. Fixes after you load a different room. I was able to replicate it by opening the codex (hold C) tabbing between different types (alternately tapping A and D repeatedly) and closing the codex (pressing C again, but still tapping A and D) . Screenshot included.

sharp narwhal
#

Hi there, did you report this in-game too using F10?

last bloom
#

I will now

#

done, thanks

sharp narwhal
#

👍

#

@lilac hedge Have you made sure all your drivers and such are properly changed and updated after the upgrade? You may also need to redo any graphics card settings, and make sure Hades is running on the proper card.

#

@terse pebble If it always sticks in the same place, it sounds like something could be missing or corrupted. Try verifying your installation through the Epic launcher

polar gulch
#

hello, i just started playing the game and im getting slow downs upon loading into every area, it takes some time until the area goes smooth, like it takes all the enemies and the character to at least play their animation once before it gets smooth. It repeats that behaviour upon every new room i get into. Not sure if its the texture resolution is too high but I would like to lower it down if its possible, but theres barely any graphical settings i can config in game so I'm wondering if there's some ini or xml files that contain those parameters that I can adjust? Im on PC btw

sharp narwhal
#

No, there are no adjustable graphics settings. Playing in windowed mode may help, as might playing the game directly from its .exe file rather than through the Epic Launcher.

polar gulch
#

oof

sharp narwhal
#

You can also make sure, especially if you have an Nvidia graphics card, that the game is running on that card. There are instructions to check for that in #hades-tech-fixes-old

polar gulch
#

im running on a amd rx580 :)
solved the issue by running in 1680x1050 instead of 1080 😓

steep nimbus
#

Hi i'm having some problems with the xbox controller

sharp narwhal
#

Is it wireless?

steep nimbus
#

yes

sharp narwhal
#

There are compatibility issues with wireless controllers right now; it's being looked into

#

If you have a wired controller or keyboard, those are your best bet

steep nimbus
#

Oh okay, thanks

sharp narwhal
#

👍

granite hawk
#

Sometimes my mouse and keyboard controls go out at the same time, idk if thats an input problem on my part or just a bug

lilac hedge
#

@sharp narwhal yeah I clean installed my new AMD drivers after uninstalling my old NVIDIA one in safe mode and I don't have any issues in any other games, only hades. Should I reinstall Hades?

sharp narwhal
#

Might be worth a shot. Someone earlier said changing resolution helped too

lilac hedge
#

didn't work squirtmeh

#

taking the res down to 1600x900 worked but animations are blurry now, swapping back to 1920x1080 is a nono

novel elk
#

is it normal for sprites to appear this low res compared to the backgrounds?

fast nova
#

Before I submit a bug, after Than leaves, there is this constant "slicing" sound; is that a known issue?

sharp narwhal
#

Haven't heard about it myself - go ahead and report it!

#

since 3 months i was wondering why hades works for me in 30fps while gpu usage was 30-40 % , finnaly entered to AMD Radeon settings and turned off Vsync .... 90fps , 99% gpu usage

#

50-70 fps in game on vega 8 iGPU (2500u AMD)

#

wish i had freesync here

rain cradle
#

Also tried on 2400G on my desktop Vega 11 makes 90-150 fps while with vsync its had problem to hold 60fps

#

wonder hot the performance will looks in upcoming patch

#

how*

thick lava
#

@rain cradle Both of those machines have freesync?

wet latch
#

hi my music stopped working during my run

#

works on main menu but even when i restart the game it still isnt working

#

i havent tried a new run yet, tho

sharp narwhal
#

Have you reported it with F10?

wet latch
#

just did, thanks for remind me

#

ok nvm i went to asphodel and its working

"Hey, not sure if it's come up but I just had my save file reset on me.
I might have miss clicked somewhere going in (playing on gamepad though so seems unlikely), or it might have had to do with the fact that I had put me previous run on pause twice."

I just had the same issue. Started up my game, clicked my save file and suddenly was on a new game. My save file was gone. It's very, very unlikely that I clicked both delete file and the confirmation prompt without seeing either of them. I don't mind starting over but I wouldn't want this to happen to someone else.

Hey, sorry to hassle. I was wondering if someone could help me out i've been trying to get my gf hades as a gift, but i can't figure out a way to gift it on the epics game store, is there another way for me to do this?

surreal pike
#

Unfortunately Epic does not have a gifting system yet, you would have to buy it from her Epic Account.

frosty tiger
#

I'm unsure how well i can do that as a gift. I it wouldn't be a surprise anyway.

rain cradle
#

If you have Hades, get pendrive and copy Hades to it. No DRM. If hope we could later buy the game on steam or supergiants site

surreal pike
#

Hades is DRM free, however the file shortcut created in your desktop will be to the epic games store shortcut, not the game itself.

#

You can find the actual game in your file explorer and create a direct shortcut to it to avoid having to be connected to the internet.

#

Upon the full release it will be available on other platforms though, so waiting till then is a valid option too!

vague dragon
#

My save just turned into a brand new save due to some bug. What can I do to recover my save file?

rain cradle
#

Idk mine sync to one drive what make it available on all my devices up to date

#

But probably no way to recover it due of bug

weak beacon
#

anyone else experiencing crashes?

toxic trout
#

you don't need to ask in three separate channels

thick lava
#

@weak beacon If you're crashing and not seeing the bug reporter, you can email us support@supergiantgames.com

sharp narwhal
vague dragon
#

Didn't help. The backup file is also a new save now.

vague dragon
#

The tech fixes FAQ says: "Try renaming Profile1_temp.sav.bak to Profile1_temp.sav". This did not help.
But someone on reddit said to rename Profile1_temp.sav. and Profile1_temp.sav.bak into Profile1.sav. and Profile1.sav.bak. This did help and my save was restored.

vague dragon
#

It's also crucial to not finish a run in this brand new game or it will save over the temp files.

vapid crypt
thick lava
#

@vapid crypt Sometimes antivirus will flag Hades (erroneously). You should be able to ignore this and/or prevent Malwarebytes from flagging Hades in the future

elder zinc
#

i dont know where to report a bug so im doing it here, in asphodel sometimes when i clear a room the screen or HUD shakes and my chamber reward teleports randomnly and it's very hard to find it.

frozen adder
#

You can report bugs in-game using F10!

frosty tiger
#

So i'm streaming hades, and i want to be able to alt tab to my chat or to click on my chat in stream without the hades music disappearing each time

#

is this possible?

#

If so how

#

if it were steam i would be able to edit variables in the settings

#

but i can't do that in epicgames launcher

flint compass
#

it's been feedbacked! i think its being looked into?

frosty tiger
#

-AllowBackgroundAudio

#

this is what i need to get into the

flint compass
#

yeah its not far up in the feedback channel, its been Acknowledged

frosty tiger
#

command line argument

#

yeah i was just wondering does epic games need the command to be inputted differently

#

Because i should be able to do it manually

#

but i can't figure out what's different about epicgames and steams commands

flint compass
#

sorry i dont know the launcher very well, maybe if you google it there will be something?

frosty tiger
#

if you go into steam for example and right click a game in your library and do 'view properties' 'set launch options'

#

but i don't know if i need to somehow write down that it's for a launch option

#

i've tried googling it, but it's too specific for any search results to come up

toxic trout
#

your google-fu is weak, then ;P

#

lemme just test this to see if it'll actually work

#

welp, nothing broke but adding the line in didn't work properly either

frosty tiger
#

Yeah

#

because it's not being read properly, or being utilised in the correct area

#

I'm looking into the epicgames config files

#

to see if i can manually input it

#

but i'm not sure where i'd put the executable

#

It seems like it might be more on 'hades' side than epicgames since when hades is in the background the entire picture/animation stops moving, as if it were paused.

Helllo i Have a problem in the game :

The game backups but the backup locations are still empty

#

and when i start the games

#

A message appears and tell me that my profile is corrupt?

#

Ok i found the problem this is my windows defender the problem sorry ^^'

proper idol
#

Hey, I found that if I "Give Up" during an attempt and start over, I get the exact same boon options and rooms. I don't know if that's intentional or not, but seems like something that takes away from the randomization factor.

#

Also, I found that if I get hit during an attempt ||wherein I have used the Pact of Punishment,|| it gives me invulnerability for a brief second when I take damage. ||I don't have the keepsake that gives me that equipped.|| Is that intentional?

toxic trout
#

the first one is because the seed isn’t reset on a “give up”

#

the second is because zag is briefly made invulnerable if he’s hit by a lot of damage at once

edgy shale
#

Hades is no longer showing that its installed on Epic, even though its in the directory and I can launch it via the .exe

If I click "Install" on Epic it says the directory has to be empty

#

Not sure what caused it, all my other games are fine

fast nova
#

Anyone ever cast Ares' wrath and actually not turn into the blade before?

#

Hello, ich have a perfomance problem. My FPS are stuck at 60 or lower for no reason. I dont know how to fix this problem.

golden raven
#

keep having this popup whenever i open the game, then it sends a report and immedately closes the game. any fixes?

mint ocean
#

it is update day, maybe they're in the middle of patching the game atm

golden raven
#

afraid its been happening for a few days now

sharp narwhal
#

@golden raven Most likely, you have antivirus software like windows defender that's blocking the game's access to your documents folder, where it's trying to create save files. Whitelist Hades with your antivirus software and that should clear it up

earnest wasp
#

I think if you're still having problems after trying Ven's fix, I'd just wait to get the update first before reporting it just in case. You can report directly in the game using F10!

alpine hazel
toxic trout
#

oh dear, that’s another person he’s decided to be mean to

valid zephyr
#

Please report with F10 if the game caused you to get stuck. Also, try to exit to main menu and restart the game to see if it saved your progress and will allow you to continue unstuck.

#

HI after downloading patch game doesnt open anymore

#

what do please

#

ill try to re install

lean solar
#

hey since the new patch came out my game is stuck at 2 fps

copper kestrel
#

Check tech fixes from Morgan

minor pond
#

Can someone help?? I just brought up Hades by the Epic Game Launcher to play the exciting new update, but my save file isn't even there!!!! It's totally gone!!!!!!!

copper kestrel
#

That might solve your issue

#

@minor pond try running epic launcher as admin, that's what I have to do

#

As much as I don't like it

magic matrix
#

oh boy im

#

having fun waiting to re install game

#

i really hope it'll work tho

lean solar
#

huh, my controller wasnt even turned on, just the USB plugged in

#

and it still made it my game run on 2 fps

minor pond
#

@copper kestrel how do you do that??

copper kestrel
#

@minor pond Right click the program and click "Run as Administrator"

shy comet
#

@copper kestrel Thanks, that's what I suspected happened to me as well but I am currently battling the same issue @magic matrix has.

copper kestrel
#

Ouch, did it not work?

minor pond
#

I'm trying it!

magic matrix
#

@shy comet has what?

shy comet
#

That the game doesn't open anymore.

minor pond
#

Zades it didn't work!!! 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦

copper kestrel
#

@shy comet Oh wow, that sucks.

minor pond
#

The same thing happened with Bastion 2 years ago...my save vanished for 3 days before reappearing, and I'd no idea why....

magic matrix
#

oh sorry i was reading your message as 2 different messages

copper kestrel
#

@minor pond You did make sure to exit the epic launcher first right? Like not just collapse it to the toolbar?

minor pond
#

yeah!

copper kestrel
#

Hmm, that's too bad. That's the only fix I had because it has been that way for me from the first time I played

minor pond
#

This is terrible....I had so much Darkness, and conversaion progress.....

#

and all the weapons....

#

maybe it'll work if I reboot my computer?!??

copper kestrel
#

You could try verifying the game files as well like someone suggested for something else, but I am not sure if that's a common fix for the save game issue

#

Just thought it may be worth a shot

minor pond
#

I have no idea how to do that lol XP

#

should i pose this problem in a different channel??? would that aid it in any way???

copper kestrel
#

I haven't done it either, think it was within the Epic Launcher and you click the gear button

#

I don't have the launcher in front of me, so I can't walk you through specifically, sorry

minor pond
#

aw thanks for helping anyway 😄 😄

flint compass
#

yeah, click the gear icon below the game banner

#

it should have a "verify files" option

copper kestrel
#

Maybe, might be worth a try at verifying the files, maybe try searching for your issue as well, but barring that it would probably be a new issue worth reporting

minor pond
#

oh, I see it. Should I click verify?

thick lava
#

@minor pond What's your antivirus provider? Is it possible your save files have been quarantined?

#

(I'm assuming you haven't switched PCs)

shy comet
#

@magic matrix It was actually two different messages, two issues

  • missing save file (most probably just account-related because I ran it as admin at first and then as regular user)
  • game not running, just a black screen like it's starting and then I get thrown back into the Epic Store, no sign of the game running. I have tried all the #hades-tech-fixes-old I could find.
minor pond
#

Possibly?? Um I'm not sure which one I have, LOL, I'm pretty sure I have one my brother tech-wizard installed for me 😛

thick lava
#

Check Documents\Saved Games\Hades and see if anything is there

minor pond
#

ok!!

#

🏃

#

ok, there's definitely some type of stuff within the save files....

thick lava
#

Feel free to DM me a screenshot

minor pond
#

there's"active profile" twice.
Debug Log and 2 "Profile 1"....

#

but they all have today's date....

#

that seems like sign of a reset to me....

shy comet
#

Update: Launching x64 .exe doesn't work (same issue), launching x86 .exe works. My system is x64, though.

magic matrix
#

@shy comet oh im having the second thing happen to me too

#

im re installing rn tho

#

so ill update back in like 20 minutes

shy comet
#

@magic matrix I'll probably be in bed by then so feel free to @ me if reinstalling helps, thanks.

magic matrix
#

yea ok

#

does the game work for you now though?

thick lava
#

Does the x64 version bring up the bug reporter, or does it hard crash?

shy comet
#

No bug reporter in my case.

magic matrix
#

yeah same

#

just starts booting up then it closes

minor pond
#

just tried re-starting my computer, it didn't work...

shy comet
#

It works only if I run x86 .exe. But that showed an error on the first launch which I (stupidly) didn't screenshot.

thick lava
#

Are there any Hades-related errors in Event Viewer?

#

Search for Event Viewer in the start menu, go to Windows Logs > Application

shy comet
#

Thank you for showing me a thing I didn't know Windows had, there are several, in fact.

#

Pasting them now.
