@sharp narwhal Hi, no just a regular Xbox controller, although it is not an orignal. But it works no problems on other games. PS: I just closed and reopened the game and the bug was fixed.

For those that are concerned about losing your save data and progress, please set up File History within Windows 10. A Google search will provide you with easy instructions on how to do this using a shared folder or thumb drive. This way you can always recover your save data with the click of a button.

Hey I am not sure where to post this, but it is a very minor bug. I was facing one of the 3 fates (the one the yells murder all the time), and I just had a visual issue where my middle death defiance didn't show, it was just a visual thing. after I killed her and went to the next room it was back.

please report bugs in-game with F10 when you encounter them!

Error hades CLR20r3

sharp narwhal
#

Please try the following launch option:

/UseNativeOpenGLRenderer=false ```
rain cradle
#

U can write the launch option in epic settings , choose hades (at the bottom is game list) select the additional line arguments and write the /UseNativeOpenGLRenderer=false there

jovial lance
#

Ty I will try

jovial lance
#

Didnt work, this error again(

rotund nova
#

Im losing my save data and progress I just dont understand what to do at all...

sly mist
#

hey I emailed you guys like to weeks ago with an error report just asking if you guys got it or not

thorn forge
#

Hey I already submitted a ticket with f10, but is there any other reason why I wouldn't be able to go into the chaos realm?

sharp narwhal
#

Nope. Known issue, reloading your game should fix it!

thorn forge
#

i see

#

thanks!

brisk drift
#

the jolted debuff doesn't trigger on the final boss though the use of scintalising feast and static charge

sharp narwhal
#

Scintillating Feast not applying Jolted is a known issue, but for future reference, if you see issues in-game, please report them using F10!

brisk drift
#

Would have done that but final boss needed full focus plus using controller XD

sharp narwhal
#

๐Ÿ‘

brisk drift
#

any chance of implementing the functionality to make the push of the touch pad on ps4 controller a keybind?

sharp narwhal
#

I don't know! It's worth suggesting in #hades-feedback if it's something you want to see.

opal walrus
#

Made it to the final boss. Hit F10 to report the lag that ensued. Game crashed. :|

#

I tried repairing my install last time the bug reporter crashed the game... apparently that's not it

will hades be release to steam on December 10?

#

yup!

hardy marsh
#

(pls dont make fun of me im new to computer gaming ๐Ÿ˜ฆ ) im getting a new laptop soon (which will run games much faster thank GOD) but will i have to repurchase hades for that one

full crater
#

if you load up ur account it should be there, but not your saves!

#

epic doesnt have cloud saving for hades yet i dont believe, but you could always email the file over!

hardy marsh
#

ok!!! perfect

#

i only just bought hades so im not worried about the saves

#

thank you so much

flint compass
#

you can always back up your saves if you would like yo keep your progress, theyre located in Documents/Saved Games/Hades

carmine hatch
#

My primary save file was completely deleted. I have bought a new computer and the save file exists on the old one but not the new.. i thought it was backed by a cloud but now that this problem exists what should i do ??

flint compass
#

do you still have your old computer? if so you can transfer it from the old to the new one, from the filepath I mentioned in the message just above

carmine hatch
#

how do i back it up though?

surreal pike
#

Copy the file Documents/Saved Games/Hades on to a flash drive or other device

#

Cloud save is being rolled out slowly by Epic so there are a few hiccups with using it still

frosty tiger
#

What FPS counters have people been using in Hades?

kind yoke
#

Hiya, not sure if this is where I should bug report, but realized I should copy what I said in the other channel here:
Okay I think i just ran into a heavy bug with the hades fight (2nd life bar)
I had charm and weak on both my dash and attack (shield) so it was charm for days, hades was being a pushover until he tried to summon his vases - HE DIDNT STOP SUMMONING THEM. I got stunlocked as he non-stop kept making vases and I couldn't do much to get away. It seemed like interrupting his vase making just got him into a loop of making vases?

surreal pike
#

Hey! Bugs can be reported in-game with F10! This channel is more for Hades-related computer or controller support

rain cradle
#

@surreal pike msi afterburner

surreal pike
#

?

rain cradle
#

oh bad i had to call @frosty tiger

frosty tiger
#

Thanks. I don't have any MSI hardware, will that matter?

rain cradle
#

its msi software but works whatever you have

#

i use only 2400G iGPU

inner echo
#

Hello Guys, I need your help. I played at Hades on my laptop since months and now I get a real PC and installed Hades on it. Unfortunately, I've got low FPS playing on it. I fint it weird since I don't get that low fps on other games like Overwatch, PUBG, etc...

#

Do you have any fix to it ?

civic igloo
#

I heard AMD GPUs have problems with OpenGL

inner echo
#

I have a NVidia GTX 1660

#

(Sorry if I don't get all what you're saying, I'm Belgian and usually speak french)

#

Ho yhea and, if I don't move, I don't get any problems with my fps it's only when I start attacking or dashing into ennemies

rain cradle
#

Check if game runs on the dGPU rather than Intel graphic or Vega graphic iGPU if you have Ryzen

civic igloo
#

If it's desktop, Integratet GPU is turned off automatically... Low fps might be caused by outdated drivers (NVidia Drivers version might hace significant impact for framerates in games - that's why NVidia like to make new release of drivers while bigger game is released)

subtle aurora
#

@inner echo if you need a french translation just message me : )

#

Hey everyone, my game keeps crashing when I start it! Has anyone had the same issue?

sharp narwhal
weak lion
#

i just got a new pc.. and install hades. and forgot to get my old save files for hades from my old pc.

#

guess is back to the grind had almost eventhing unlocked D:

flint compass
#

if you still have access to the old PC, the save is located in Documents/Saved Games/Hades

flint inlet
#

If not, well...

#

Time to go get killed again

sharp narwhal
#

@misty lotus did updating your game fix the issue?

patent zephyr
#

Need some help, guys.

#

needless to say, it's the first file

sharp narwhal
#

No leadup to it at all? No crashes, computer resets, etc?

patent zephyr
#

Played a game 2-3 days ago, recorded it as usual, left the game in skellies room as I usually do.

#

Nothing unusual in that regard.

#

When I click on the safe file, it asks me if I really want to start a new safe-file.

sharp narwhal
#

When I load it into my game, it tells me the save data has been corrupted

#

Which...yeah, clearly

patent zephyr
sharp narwhal
#

Right, I'm assuming that because it was corrupted and the game can't read it, it's trying to clear it out/start a new save

patent zephyr
#

So what do I do?

sharp narwhal
#

I don't know, whatever got your save also got your backup file...I can pass it along to see if anything can be done with it or if they can at least get any info about what happened, but I don't think anyone's really going to be in the office until tomorrow.

patent zephyr
#

I'll be damned

patent zephyr
#

Anybody here who help me with this issue now?

sage knot
#

My weapon randomly dissapeared

#

It was very weird

sharp narwhal
#

@sage knot you can report bugs in-game using F10!

#

@patent zephyr Supergiant is in Pacific Time on the west coast of America. It'll be another 5 or 6 hours before anyone is awake and at work.

patent zephyr
#

Six hours then.

flint compass
#

i dont know how far in in the game you were before your save was wiped, but i'm assuming you played quite a lot. maybe you could download haelian's save from speedrun.com? i havent downloaded it for myself but im pretty sure it should have all keepsakes maxed, all story progress, all of the mirror, all heat statues, etc.

patent zephyr
#

Yeah, I think Haelian would be the closest to me.

#

I had a 120 heat clear, 9 to 10 Fated Authorities and all Keepsakes maxed out

flint compass
#

seems like a pretty good solution then

#

and it was his wr, so youll also get a pretty good run as compensation for your save being deleted lol

patent zephyr
#

Thanks for that safefile. It is overall fairly similiar to my own. Only things missing are some maxed out keepsakes and...my 120 heat clear

flint compass
#

seems like they were reset with the big bad update. im sure you can do it again!

patent zephyr
#

I already did it in the Big Bad Update once. And that was all I wanted to do in this update. Damnation.

sly mist
#

just confurming you guys got my email sent it like a week ago happy to wait just wanna make sure it got though

#

i believe the giants just recently got back from pax, so they might still be catching up on stuff!

#

OOPS sorry bout that

errant oasis
sharp narwhal
#

This is a known issue and there's a fix in the works! Thanks for reporting.

patent zephyr
#

@sharp narwhal What was the cause for that? It seems to pop up against Hades quite often, but I have seen it in other instances too.

#

Sometimes, I have seen Zags health bar vanish in Tartarus for a while too.

sharp narwhal
#

I don't know what causes the bugs, I just pass them on. ^^;

vocal vortex
#

when megaera is speaking to hades about sending ''them'' here hades says they are alreddy ''on'' there way but insted of on it says ''en''

sharp narwhal
#

That's "en route", a French term common in English to mean "currently going somewhere"!

vocal vortex
#

oh i see, sorry my French is not quite what it used to be ๐Ÿฅ–

Hi! I've been playing Hades for a while now and everytime I open it, it says file is corrupted. I checked hades-tech-support and saw Documents/Saved Games/Hades but is non-existent in mine, only Pyre's. I'm not sure if it has something to do with Epic Store.

sharp narwhal
#

If you don't have a save folder at all despite having played Hades before, it must have gotten deleted or destroyed somehow. Sadly, I don't know what would have caused that - it could've been a number of things - but if your folder is entirely gone, there's not much you can do but restart.

wet drift
#

A small note on controller support - if the controller disconnects during play (dead battery/bt connection interruption/etc), the game will immediately switch to KM controls and continues. If possible, it might be better if the game paused on when an input device drops - this lead to a rather unfortunate death when my controller battery died.

wet drift
#

Also, on v20003, during the fight with the first fury, she can occasionally appear to glitch, making her appear to do a quick series of disconnected animations while remaining in the same place. For lack of a bitter description, it looked like like the old n64 geddan glitch.

sharp narwhal
#

You can report glitches as they happen in-game by pressing F10!

wet drift
#

Ah, alright - does that work from the pause screen as well (if I'm battling with a controller, can I pause, tap F10, and resume), or do you need the game running to capture the glitch?

sharp narwhal
#

It works from the pause screen!

#

Hitting F10 will pause your game while you send a report in, too

#

But once the report sends it'll resume

#

I think we're aware of/have gotten feedback about the controller disconnect before, but for future reference, feedback about things that don't seem like bugs goes in #hades-feedback - you can read the pinned post there for instructions on how to use the channel shadesmile

wet drift
#

Will do. Do you want me to resubmit the feedback there?

sharp narwhal
#

If you want to, sure!

wet drift
#

Ok - thank you!

robust dust
#

hey, I'm not sure this is the right thread, but feedback won't let me comment so here goes!

full crater
#

pssst to comment in feedback check the pins

robust dust
#

...I don't know what that means...

sharp narwhal
#

There's a whitish-gray "pushpin" icon at the top of the screen for each channel. Go to feedback and click on it to see a pinned post with instructions on how to gain access.

robust dust
#

ok, thanks!

daring token
#

Hi there, is there any option to improve performance in game, like tune down some graphical setting?

sharp narwhal
#

There are no options in-game to adjust the things you might traditionally be looking for, like resolution settings, Vsync, etc. You can check #hades-tech-fixes-old for some other suggestions that might help, like playing in windowed mode; it also has instructions for checking that the game is running on the right graphics card.

valid zephyr

For those that are concerned about losing your save data and progress, please set up File History within Windows 10. A Google search will provide you with easy instructions on how to do this using a shared folder or thumb drive. This way you can always recover your save data with the click of a button.

Please be proactive about this. Without some sort of backup or file redundancy in place, you risk losing your data without the ability for recovery.

Is there any way to save my run? Game bugged out once I cleared a room, supposed to get a boon from Hermes but it doesn't appear. Can't grab it if I try to pick it up in the area it's supposed to be in. Can't go to other rooms, and quitting will end my run. Is there anything I can do other than abandon? Already submitted as a bug btw.

surreal pike
#

Tbh you could just close the game and try the room again?

frosty tiger
#

I thought closing would start the run over

surreal pike
#

Does it say โ€œquitโ€ or โ€œgive upโ€

frosty tiger
#

Give up

surreal pike
#

Hmmm, that means you havenโ€™t killed an enemy in the room usually

#

Alternatively though just close the game via task manager

#

That will force it to go back to the most recently saved point (likely the beginning of the room, or the moment the boon appeared)

#

Should help fix minor bug issues preventing you from picking up the boon

flint inlet
#

Give up means that you have taken damage on the current encounter

sly mist
#

what is you guys support email

tight peak
#

How well does Hades run on Integrated graphics?

#

I have an Intel HD 620

rain cradle
#

720p should playable

#

I have vega 8 laptop and it runs okey but there are 2 facts, first vega suck in opengl (engine of the game), second vega 8 is way more powerful.
Overall you should have similar results as me haha

wooden spruce
#

I need some help, I had to format my PC and forgot the saves, is there anyway to get them back?? (don't really want to unlock everything again ๐Ÿ˜ฉ )

rain cradle
#

That's depends what do you mean by format. If you did real format then no way. If you just reinstalled system then go to windows.old /users/your_username/documents/game save/hades

#

And copy it to your actuall library

cobalt kite
#

So I'm having trouble getting my controller to function with Hades, has something changed recently?

sharp narwhal
#

Shouldn't have. There have been Windows updates recently that may have messed with your settings and such

cobalt kite
#

I didn't think so but I'll look around

visual summit
#

bloodshards not increasing with rarity for chaos, i.e common rare and epic chaos boons all locked at +1

#

Happened to me yesterday

#

I assumed it was intentional, but Idk

toxic trout
#

i just checked the patch notes and at one point it did say โ€œgrasp (chaos): reduced max possible bonusโ€

#

grasp being the bloodstone ammo increase

#

so looks like itโ€™s not a bug

mental snow
#

So even after following all of the "Game Won't Start" fixes, I still can't get Hades to launch after installing again after my computer drive had to be wiped. I see the icon pop up on the task bar, and then it goes away and nothing happens shortly after.

pastel geyser
#

How can i save my game?

surreal pike
#

It auto-saves every time you die or change rooms!

pastel geyser
#

I tried but its not

sharp narwhal
#

Your anti-virus software (windows defender, probably) may be blocking access to your documents folder; there are instructions in #hades-tech-fixes-old to whitelist the game

mental snow
#

So I went through all the tech fixes in that chat, and I still can't get the game to launch. I submitted an email with the important stuff to the support email but still no luck.

#

umm, i've tried messing around for a while now but overall i'm only mildly computer literate so i can only spitball a lot of stuff; my problem is my mouse cursor blinking in and out, it seems to affect the sensitivity too, causing drag. i've tried all the links provided in "tech-fixes" but none of them are available for download anymore, i can't find the "KB3140743" update at all, and Mouse Lock was never on to begin with. please help wraxuFeels

rain cradle
#

Can you make video of that?

#

Imgur allow for uploading videos

restive gust
#

of the actual issue? i'm literate enough that i could stream and clip it but pepega enough i don't actually know how to capture for an upload on imgur

#

that happens throughout the game, it's a bit more obvious on my monitor. the recorded version just has the basic cursor override it more

rain cradle
#

It's direct link to windows catalog with updates

#

Will look into your recording next day. I'm mobile now

restive gust
rain cradle
#

Win+R, type winver and enter, the update is for version 10586 (or around, don't remember exactly)

#

If you have any higher version of windows the solution is not for you, cuz it's already patched

Did the game crash to desktop?

no froze so I had to alt +f4

sharp narwhal

Sometimes the F10 window won't pop up correctly, you can try pressing Alt+Tab

#

Yes sir I will try that! ๐Ÿ™‚

You can also do the following, from the tech fixes channel

f10 in game is for bug reports. Also just submitted one on an unbreakable urn after 2nd boss. Tried all my attacks on it, submitted the report, and spitefully attacked it again and it broke. need a button that says 'bug resolved after I told on it'

well im in the same room again in another run right this moment

so definitly a bug

Yeah I personally fixed it, but just thought I would mention it so if it was on SGG's end rather than maybe an Epic issue, they would be aware.

I could say issue with this antivirus

Maybe its being too heuristic in detection

pure ferry
#

Is there something to do to unlock the New Pact of Punishment ?

#

I can't interact with it, even after completing a run

thin sparrow
#

Does it not appear when you start a new run?

#

As soon as you go through the door to Tartarus, should say something like "prepare"

rain cradle
#

you need to kill last boss

pure ferry
#

Oh really ? Damn...

#

Well, here goes my night

thin sparrow
#

Ah, I thought that is what you meant when you said you completed a run. Whoops!

pure ferry
#

No worries, even Zagreus said something about the pact like "What happened to the pact of Punishment ? ร‡

sweet bison
#

he does, but he also talks about the new pact in the courtyard later but i dont have it (as i have not beaten the game yet)

Heads up: if you're having trouble unlocking the Pact and you feel like you should have it by now, please F10 and we'll take a look at it!

the 6th weapon no, i mean the aspects for every weapon

theres 3 unlucked at least for me

the 4th one had to be unlocked or its something for the new versions?

I reinstalled Hades/updated the game for this patch, and donโ€™t have any of my old saves. Is that supposed to happen, or is that my cloud saves messing up?

Or is Hades not one of the supported cloud save games?

fast nova
#

So I continued a run (pre-patch) this was one of my rewards:
is this normal for this situation, and shouldn't matter since this is early access?

#

That reward would have been Heat, but heat was removed as a collectible resource

#

So that's probably why it's blank in your continued run

my friend is struggling because he had a lot of pacts of punishments going before the latest update and the effects are still lingering and he cant remove them. he also hasn't beaten the final boss yet and I heard that gives access to the new pact of punishment system?

regardless, he's stuck trying to beat a nearly impossible game at the moment and he doesn't want to have to start a new game.

Hi, game crashes every time I want toi interact iwth trader I belive. No errors, just freezes.

chilly rune
#

Think there might be a bug in current patch. If you had a pact of agony on before the patch, it's still on but now you cant adjust it since was removed from your room. Probable should reset any existing pacts?

bright comet
#

the issue above seems to be save related as on new save slot everything is fine

hushed zephyr
#

i'm not able to use the pact of punishment anymore and i dont want to attempt to defeat hades with out removing the affects of it.

i could make a new save file but i put so much work into the mirror already and i just don't want to do it over

same issue as Nitek, crashes every time

@bright comet and @covert otter : if the problem only occurs when interacting with the Broker, ignore him for now. Do a normal run without interacting with the Broker, die, and return to the House and see if it's still happening!

ok, doing a run now, will check when i die

Idk if this is under tech or what, but I just saw on stream that final boss' pulse didnt break his vases. Death Insurance pact was on, but dont think that affects it. Any clarification on whether this is intended?

If it seems wrong to you, F10 to report it as a bug and QA will look into it

spiral flax
#

Alright thanks!

wispy basin
#

Hello, team.
Hades gives me the dialog about the new Pact of Punishment, but there's nothing in the courtyard for it, and I can't remove the conditions already on my character. Is this a bug, or do I need to unlock something?

#

... actually, reviewing the thread now I see that it's later unlock.
Surely there's a way to remove conditions from the old build?

sharp narwhal
#

Hi there Frogurt, the old heat carrying over and making the Pact inaccessible is an issue we're aware of and looking into. You can press F10 to report that, and other bugs, to us!

#

Sorry about the inconvenience

cursive granite
#

I've already submitted a bug report, but having the issue with the game freezing up when talking to the trader. I have tried a dozen times, and only once was able to speak to him without the game freezing up. Since trading resources was one of my favorite parts of the game, this bug is a deal-breaker for me.

@cursive granite This is a backwards compatibility issue because Heat was removed from the game. It's temporary - if you go on a run, die, and return to the House, you should be able to use the Broker no problem.

cursive granite
#

@sharp narwhal I wish that were the case, and it worked once. But after that, no matter what I do, it crashes the game. Also, this wasn't on an existing save, but a new run through.

sharp narwhal
#

Hm!! That's very odd indeed. Sorry the common solution didn't work for you - we'll take a look at your report soon.

hushed zephyr
#

i still see the heat in the top right corner of my screen during a run does that mean that the pact of punishment is still in affect?

sharp narwhal
#

@hushed zephyr There's a bug right now where saves that had Heat active when loaded into the patch are unable to turn the Heat off. We're looking into it ๐Ÿ‘

thank you

#

Does Hades support Cloud Saves? I thought it did, but my saves prior to reinstalling the game are all gone

It doesn't currently, but hope it does soon

Hello, I saw on reddit that the new patch had dropped. I have mine on Epic Games set to auto-update but it has not done so. What steps should I take to update the game?

cinder totem
#

Hey Pianoman! In your library, Hades should have a settings menu (a cog or a ... button depending on you selected format). In that menu, select "Verify" and it should start downloading the update. ๐Ÿ‘

lusty thistle
#

When I select the cog, the options I am presented with are "Create a shortcut", "Auto Update"(ticked to enabled), and "Uninstall" Thanks for the help Caitlin

Hi! Hades worked fine for me, two days before the last major update. However, both with the major update and the subsequent minor patch, it crashes on start. I seemingly didn't install anything else in these few days. What do I do?

#

Things that didn't help:

  • uninstalling and reinstalling Hades
  • moving safe files and config to another location
  • reinstalling graphics driver
  • verifying installation via Epic Games launcher
sharp narwhal
#

Hey Gassa, I assume when it crashes it's crashing to desktop without a bug reporter?

prisma jackal
#

Yeah, just a generic Windows crash message after a second or two since launch, like:
Hades has stopped working
Windows can check online for a solution to the problem.
-> check online
-> close
-> debug

#

The debug.log file in Saved Games folder just contains the directory and the version

sharp narwhal
#

You can check the error log by searching for "Event Viewer" in your windows search bar, then clicking "Windows Logs" > "Application" in the left sidebar and looking for Hades-related crashes

prisma jackal
#

hmmm, thanks, that sheds some light:

Try this in the launch options on Epic Launcher: /UseNativeOpenGLRenderer=false

#

You can find them by going to your settings (little gear in the bottom right) and opening the game settings for Hades

Click the checkbox for "additional command line arguments"

I can't earn bounties. It worked fine last night, but now even if I beat a boss with the right heat, I will just get Darkness. I've tried this on 2 runs and one of them I completed. The heat requirements didn't update and I didn't get a fresh set of bounties.

sharp narwhal
#

Sorry about that! It's a known issue with this patch, we're looking into it now

#

Gassa, if that launch option isn't working independently or through Epic, you can follow these steps and send a report to our support email:


Please notify support@supergiantgames.com and attach Windows Event Viewer information as follows:

1. Search for Event Viewer in the start menu, go to Windows Logs > Application
2. Select all of the "Error" events you can find related to Hades
3. In the Action menu bar, choose "Save Selected Events"
4. Run dxdiag.exe and generate a report by clicking "Save All Information". (More detailed instructions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028644/windows-open-and-run-dxdiagexe)
5. Attach the .evtx file and DxDiag.txt and email us!```
#

I think someone had some success recently with updating their C++ redistributable, too, so you can give that a shot

prisma jackal
#

Much thanks for the support and the pointers, Ellis! Next I'll try updating my C++ redistributable and .NET framework, if that fails, I'll write an email to support.

sharp narwhal
#

As a heads-up, support may be a little slow since we're still ironing out the wrinkles from this patch, but I hope you get it worked out!

Hi there, we're aware of this issue and looking into it. In the meantime please report bugs using F10 in-game

wooden crow
#

Just started playing hades again and I got 2 runs in but my mouse disappeared completely

#

restarting the game doesn't fix it

sharp narwhal
#

Send a bug report with F10; I think we've had a couple reports of that, we're looking into it

wooden crow
#

Just did. I know yall are workin really hard on the game but this is a real bummer. I was just getting back into it and having fun but now I basically can't play it.

prisma jackal
#

Updates didn't help, so I wrote an e-mail with .evtx and dxdiag as suggested above (as in my case, the game crashes before being able to report bugs via F10).

I'm getting the "Audio disabled! Please update your audio driver" message again. I have the latest driver already- I just checked and Dell hasn't put up a new one for my model since I last updated it in August, and if I try to update through Windows it says I already have the current version Updating my nvidia drivers fixed it, which is odd since that's my graphics. But if anyone else is in a similar boat, try that.

#

It is not odd. All Nvidia, AMD and Intel graphic drivers include audio drivers too.

#

Hi, in which of these threads am I supposed to report a bug?

none of them! use f10 on the game to open the bug reporter

I took a screenshot of the bug but moved on, the bug reporter take a screenshot of where i currently am so I cannot show the bug

Hey there, I seem to have lost my save after the Superstar Update. Anyone know how I may be able to recover it?

sharp narwhal
#

There are some suggestions in #hades-tech-fixes-old, but if those don't work, I'm afraid it's probably gone

cinder yacht
#

Ok ill take a peek thank you.

#

Gave renaming the save file a shot no dice. I think I goofed and clicked through when loading up which created a fresh save in the slot where my regular save was.

#

whenever i try to save i get a popup that says unable to save progress in storage device

Your antivirus might be blocking access to your documents folder. Check out #hades-tech-fixes-old for tips on how to whitelist the game

Check around the courtyard some more. If you don't see the Pact, do a run (you don't have to do a complete run, just leave the House), die, and return to the House and you should find it.

This feels unfair

I have to eat a bit of lava damage to get out of this room

F10 it, i suppose?

unreal siren
#

I did

#

it popped in front of me and when I went to grab it

#

it warped into the lava

So, I was just playing the game using the repeater (I forgot the name of it I'm sorry) and when I was done with a room, I reloaded the repeater. I didn't get any reward from the room and the markers for leaving the room are not showing up.

#

I had that happen a couple times with the Rail too. Keep checking I always found the item it just spawned far away with the Rail

#

ok

#

I checked the entire room I don't see anything

#

Nvm it just randomly appeared out of nowhere right in front of me

#

And the entryways opened up now

Problem solved

Thanks @wooden crow

#

yea not sure what it is but I only experience that on Rail runs and it was mostly in Asphodel with items that blended in with the orange of that realm

I just started using the Rail

#

@void canyon If the game isn't creating a bug report window when it crashes, you can see what the issue is by looking at Windows Event Viewer and checking "Windows Logs" > "Applications" on the left sidebar.

#

You may be able to tell from those logs what's going on, but you can also follow these steps to email Supergiant support:


Please notify support@supergiantgames.com and attach Windows Event Viewer information as follows:

1. Search for Event Viewer in the start menu, go to Windows Logs > Application
2. Select all of the "Error" events you can find related to Hades
3. In the Action menu bar, choose "Save Selected Events"
4. Run dxdiag.exe and generate a report by clicking "Save All Information". (More detailed instructions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028644/windows-open-and-run-dxdiagexe)
5. Attach the .evtx file and DxDiag.txt and email us!```

I had to close it forcefully by tab manager because it was flashing dark and white on my screen
it didnt crash automatically
more like first the image freezed, but the actual game kept running on the background, and when I try to move away from the frozen screen, it starts flashing

sharp narwhal
#

Oh! Alt+Tab might help?

#

Force-closing often clears runs due to a failsafe meant to keep people from save-scumming

void canyon
#

alt tab is what I used to try to get away from frozen screen

sharp narwhal
#

I see...at least if it's a screenshot issue that seems less likely to be permanent or unfixable

#

Do you play in windowed or fullscreen?

void canyon
#

oh, that makes sense, but also destroy my run
it was a really good one... pretty bummed out about it actually..
my 145th
150th is you count the crashed ones

#

i play in fullscreen mode

sharp narwhal
#

I understand; if it makes you feel better, the random seed for the run should be the same

#

Try playing in windowed mode?

void canyon
#

i didnt know there was a window mode

#

where do i change it?

sharp narwhal
#

There is! It's in the display settings on the main menu

void canyon
#

im also looking around for that bug report to send you

#

where do I find windows logs?

sharp narwhal
#

Use the search bar; type in "event viewer"

#

If screenshots are causing the problem though, I think just playing on windowed mode will probably fix it and it's likely to be a display issue of some sort

#

You're not playing on 4k, are you?

void canyon
#

I wish, my screen isnt this advanced xD

sharp narwhal
#

Alright, just checking ๐Ÿ˜‚

void canyon
#

what should I do in situations such as this?

#

one time I actually managed to beat the remaining 25% life of last stage hades, take the reward and force crash after he got back home, that way it wasnt erased, but i wasnt able to guide myself to the reward and to the exit this time

sharp narwhal
#

Your run has been "reset" - if you start the run again with the same setup, you should get the same things offered to you when you start again, so hopefully you can have something close to the run you lost

frosty tiger
#

having a problem where the run is going good an my computer handles everything before freaking out and getting 6 ish fps until i restart the game.

void canyon
#

oof
thats tough
i was took a hidden rewarda from chaos early on and have no idea which path I took aside from first boons

frosty tiger
#

only happened once so its not a big deal but i thought that you guys might want to know

#

i'm only a few hours in

sharp narwhal
#

F10 when you're experiencing heavy lag, helps us pinpoint places that need optimization

frosty tiger
#

k. will do

void canyon
#

ah
one more thing
everytime I try to bug report with F10, it shows a pure black screenshot in the report instead of the game, what do I do here?

sharp narwhal
#

That sounds like it's probably the same display issue as whatever's causing your problems with screenshots

#

Make sure your display and graphics card drivers are up to date

#

Like I said, playing in windowed mode might help too

void canyon
#

I found no erros related to Hades there
just a ton of Bonjour ones

sharp narwhal
#

Hm! Well, try updating and playing around with your display settings. I hope that'll fix it

After entering the last zone, the asset textures were missing, making the area look black. The entrance, main hall, and the area after entering a chamber door remained black. After interacting with the chamber door, the door regained its texture when I walked through it. First time encountering this bug (after about 20 times in this area). NPC's retained their texture.
Quitting back to main menu didn't fix it. Quitting the game and reopening DID fix it (returning it back to normal).
I may have just run out of memory on my comp near the end of the run (since the SSD is near it's limit), but thought I should mention it for in case.

#

(Also, after reading comments found there's a way to get bug reports, something I'll keep in mind for the future, if I ever encounter any ๐Ÿ‘ . Keep up the awesome work yall)

limber timber
#

^ After posting this, reentered the game and only a few textures were missing this time (when before it had returned to normal). This time sent the bug report ๐Ÿ˜‰ .
I tested this out more by opening and closing the game 10 times. Only occurred 1 out of 10.
Further areas acted normally ๐Ÿ‘Œ

sharp narwhal
#

Have you tried verifying your game files?

limber timber
#

Yes

#

Once before, and then again after sending the bug report.

devout quarry
#

I hope this is the right channel:
I switched monitors and could no longer alt tab to the window when I played my first game on the initial major update (day of release).

I met Eurydice in Asphodel and was right outside Final Boss. I had to task manager kill the game and I lost all progress from that run.

Since then, I've done close to a dozen runs and I've yet to be offered a door to Eurydice. Is she very rare, is there a prerequisite I'm somehow missing, or is there some sort of bug?

sharp narwhal
#

There are no prerequisites for meeting Eurydice. She appears randomly in Asphodel, like Sisyphus does in Tartarus and Patroclus does in Elysium.

#

She shouldn't be absurdly rare, but I have gone 5 or 6 runs without seeing her before.

#

If you've been "giving up" runs instead of finishing them or dying, your random seed won't be reset, which means you'll see about the same rooms every time you do a run after giving up. I don't know if you've been doing that, but if you have, that could be why you aren't seeing her.

devout quarry
#

I have not been giving up runs, but that's good to know about the seed. If I don't see a "!" room in Asphodel over the next handful of runs I'll F10 and go from there. Thanks!

Hello, I am stuck on the 9AUG2019 "The Big Bad Update"

#

I have auto update enabled but it is not auto-updating. Is there a way I can manually update or reset something so it auto-updates?

frosty tiger
#

Go to your Library page, click the triple dots option on Hades, click on "Verify".

lusty thistle
#

"Verify" does not appear when i click on the gear

frosty tiger
#

Are you currently running Hades?

lusty thistle
#

No

frosty tiger
#

All that I've got left that I can think of is unchecking and rechecking auto-update or reinstalling. Sorry.

lusty thistle
#

Guess i'll reinstall then, small price to pay ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you for your help

frosty tiger
#

No problem.

lusty thistle
#

How do I reinstall once i've uninstalled though..because it's not showing it's available like it does on Steam..it just takes me to the page to purchase the game again

frosty tiger
#

When it's grayed out there's no big "Install" button?

lusty thistle
#

It removed it entirely from my Library..

#

Guess at this point I wait for a member from Supergiant.

#

My stuff is all sorts of jank

This sounds like an issue with the EGS.

I'd try restarting it at this point.

@ellis I am an idiot. Thank you very much.

Reinstalling drivers didn't help, btw

#

Huh. It's working again. The only driver I was out-of-date on was the wireless so updating that can't possibly be what fixed it?

prisma jackal
#

Hi @sharp narwhal . As a follow-up, the patch-notes channel states that there will be no more updates till December. Still, the game does not start for me since the Superstar update, even with the latest patch (the same DLL load error). I shot an e-mail to support a few days back, and got no reply there so far. What to do next?

thick lava
#

Even if you have a dedicated GPU, if you have integrated graphics on your chip at all (e.g. an i7) sometimes this can cause problems creating an OpenGL context

#

@thick lava Installed the updated Intel driver, rebooted, but it didn't seem to help... thanks for the tip, anyway! Anything else I can try updating? ๐Ÿ™‚

You might be right, I

No problem, glad I could help!

#

okay, im legit gonna die
i have no idea what triggered it, it was working perfectly for like 10-12 runs

and now Im talking to Eurydice and the game screen froze
I got a really nice build and was going to get the Pom Porridge along Sweet Nectar

if I move the weird flashing will start and Ill have to force quit the game

I already did everything you said, any clues of what to do?

void canyon
#

sorry about the overreaction
i managed to guide myself through sound, open the menu and exit the game through the Exit option

I later opened it back again and everything was fine, ill try to use this from now on, its better to re-do one fight than the whole run

also, I know maybe the interaction isnt there because it would be unbalanced, but is it on purpose that Sweet Nectar doesnt affect Pom Porridge?

Malwarebytes thinks the Hades.exe is ransomware and quarantines it.

Was something done with mouse input in one of these second or third mini-patches after the initial one? Haven't changed settings or my mouse but it feels sluggish and wrong suddenly

fathom zephyr
#

I have no clue what to do. The game is not recognizing my controller as a controller but rather is using it like a mouse so I can half use it to accept and cancel but I cant move around it moves the mouse cursor instead. I have tried to disable steam controller but its not on my steam and doesn't recognize Hades as a game to add to my steam library. I use to be able to use this controller without any problems

Can I make it so that while using a controller, my character will move with the left joystick, and aim with the right joystick?
And if that's suppose to be the case, I tried using a switch pro controller.

If you open the codex too quickly after clearing a challenge room (where Hades gives you harder anymores or you have to survive for x seconds) you cannot leave the room as in the door assumes there are still enemies or something of the like going on.

Hei everyone! Can we port the game when the it will be on avaible on steam?

frosty tiger

You can add it as a non-Steam game, but to get complete Steam functionality with it you'll need to repurchaseit.

digital vigil
#

Heya, just started playing today, unlocked the spear and was having a really good run, then on a difficult chamber where I was on a floating barge in the second area, it crashed the game.

#

THis pretty much stopped the game in its tracks and I actually had to restart my pc to be able to use it again.

When I come back, it's put me to before the run started, so everything I got has been lost. Is there no mid-run autosaves?

#

Shame as well as I beat the first boss first time and was feeling pretty good. Now I just think I'll put it down for a while

sharp narwhal
#

@digital vigil There are mid-run saves. The game saves before and after every chamber, and you can stop in the middle of a run to take a break if you'd like. In the case of hard crashes, the game usually resets to the point it was at before you started your run. This is to prevent people from abusing save states by hard-closing the game using task manager, etc.
I'm sorry about the crash though - you can report it to support@supergiant.com using steps in #hades-tech-fixes-old if you'd like.

#

If it makes you feel better, your random seed will be the same as it was for your run with the spear, meaning there's a good chance you can pick up the same boons etc. as you had before the game crashed

digital vigil
#

Cheers Ellis, is there no way currently to differentiate between a hard crash and a close via task manager to combat that?

I'll give it another go later, really like the spear though, much better than the sword or bow (IMO)

Once I have the time (need to get back to work after my lunch hour) I'll write the defect report and send it over

sharp narwhal

Thanks! You'll want "Crashes without F10/Bug Reporter", right near the bottom of the channel.

Bluetooth and wireless controllers have known connectivity/compatibility issues; we recommend using wired controllers for the time being!

#

Is increased dash attack damage suppose to increase the dash attack for bow? It is not for me.

flint inlet
#

It increases your charge speed

#

If you shoot that faster charge shot it counts as a dash attack

#

You need to begin charging during the dash though

leaden moth
#

more "dash damage" was not increasing the charge speed or the damage.

#

just attacking from a dash increased the charge speed, which was the same before and after getting increased dash attack damage

flint inlet
#

that attack should count as a dash attack, and get the increase from dash attack related boons

Hi!
Got a problem :(
I purchased the game yesterday and played 5hours in a row without turning off the game. When I restarted the game, all progress was lost.
How to solve this problem ?

#

Since EPic Games Launcher has added Cloud saves, does Hades now automatically support it? If so, why aren't my saves available on another machine (and yes, it is enabled on both machines in the settings)

sharp narwhal
#

Epic is rolling out cloud save compatibility gradually. It's not available for Hades yet, though it is available for some games on the platform.

digital vigil
#

Shame! Wanted to give it another go at my lunch hour at work, no worries!

echo vine
#

Is there any way to turn on the debug display just for fun? I can see all the code for it, but I just can't figure out how to enable it.

sour sail
#

If I buy Hades from the Epic games store can I transfer the saved data to steam after it releases there? (I don't mind buying it twice)

#

Hi, for the past two weeks I had been starting hades only for it to not be updated on my pc. Today I tried uninstalling, but when I went to the library to reinstall it I realized it wasnt there anymore, same for a lot of other games. Has anyone had the same issue?

flint compass
#

are you logged in on the right account?

scarlet lodge
#

it was that, i don't know why i have two accounts shadeembarassed

sinful wasp
#

I had this same thing when I came back to the game recently after a hiatus, did the exact same string of events as you, scared the bejeezus out of me until I realized what was happening

pearl cave
#

hmm...I appear to be stuck

#

In Elysium one of the ghosts got across the wind-river thing and then kinda walked off screen

#

And I can't follow, and since I was doing a run with the sword, I can't attack with any range

#

I can no longer see them, but they've assumed archer form and I just see them targetting me, but then they don't hit me

#

Anyone ever see something like this happen? They're right in that spot on the leftish

#

bottom leftish

#

:/ aww well... rip that run

sharp narwhal
#

For future reference, you can report bugs directly to us using F10 in-game when you see them! It sends us a screenshot and save file so we can try to find the issue.

pearl cave
#

oh sweet! ty ๐Ÿ™‚ will do

#

I just still have it just kinda magically hoping the guy will pop out

#

Thanks for the help!

somber fern
#

Didnt bug report it but clipped it

#

I've had him go perma invuln on me once before lol

#

Hello,somebody can help me? I can't take any spell or buy something in the shop. How fix it?

sharp narwhal
#

Please report the issue with F10 in-game and describe what the problem is!

sage vessel
#

Hello, I am currently having issue with mouse not responding in game properly. I had this issue months back but it got fixed. Somehow Its now returned this patch..

prisma topaz
#

is there anyway to get save data back i believe while cleaning up my computer i might have deleted my saves or it might be a bug, ive got 42 hours of progress just missing at this point

young shadow
#

So I just reset my PC, and since then the Aim Assist doesn't seem to be working anymore. Anyone have any suggestions?

timber thunder
#

Hello did anyone had problems with the game closing as soon as you open on EGS? That never happened before and now I can't play the game at all.

#

Updated all drivers and the dependencies, didn't work

#

Also tried reinstalling the game and the launcher, didn't work too.

sharp narwhal
#

Some folks with this issue have had success in updating their C++ redistributable

timber thunder
#

Oh gonna try that, report back with the result.

#

It worked! Thanks! It should've proced an error message or something. Maybe add to the tech fixes list?

sharp narwhal
#

CTD doesn't create asserts from within the game, but Windows does log the errors in its Event Viewer - unfortunately, even those logs tend to be sort of vague. I'm glad that fixed it for you!

timber thunder
#

The weird thing is that usually in the case of Steam it procs the installation of this package, but I don't know if this is developer side or distribution platform side.

prisma jackal
#

Hey again, more on that old issue of mine, when the game doesn't start for me.
The event viewer says, in particular,

Exception Info: System.DllNotFoundException
   at Game.Windows.NativeOpenGL.OpenGLInitialize(OpenGLInfo ByRef)

And it doesn't matter whether I try the command line option /UseNativeOpenGLRenderer=false or not. Which looks strange.
So, the question now is: what is the proper way to pass the option, and does it work at all in the recent builds?

#

The ways I tried were:

  • Additional command line arguments in Epic launcher
  • Command line proper (Hades.exe /UseNativeOpenGLRenderer=false), both x86 and x64.
rain cradle
#

Win + R, dxdiag enter, what's your gpu driver?

prisma jackal
#

I've sent dxdiag to support already, they were not able to help.

#

GPU: I have Radeon 7900, and integrated Intel HD 3000 (disabled). Updating drivers to both didn't help either.

#

The game started not working for me since the Superstar update.

#

The question right now is, how do I pass the "no native OpenGL" option? Or perhaps how do I know whether the game acknowledged the option.

#

Because, as it is calling a native OpenGL initializer, looks like the option does not make it to the engine.

rain cradle
#

You can try creating shortcut to hades.exe and at the end of it add the line with use nativ open gl

prisma jackal
#

@rain cradle Same with the shortcut. No better than a command line.

#

Hey, this is off topic for tech support- discussion channel is fine, though, thanks!

sharp narwhal
#

@midnight scarab Hey there, that sounds like a bug! It'd be helpful if you reported that with F10 in-game when you see it.

midnight scarab
#

@sharp narwhal My bad, will remember to do that next time I play, thanks!

Just installed the game on a MacBook pro 2015 running windows 10. The game opens to a black screen and then immediately closes. :(

Hi, i havent played hades for, maybe, two weeks, but today came to make some runs, and as i launched game, i realized, that my whole progress has been vaporized! Can you please help me? It is hard to come to terms with this, because i nearly completed contract of punishment and mirror progress, and killed hades 2 times in a row

limpid cobalt
#

guys I need help asap

#

just yesterday I played Hades

#

but today, when I resumed my Ruiner download...Hades wasnt installed?!

#

but when I checked the directory...the files are all still there

#

when I click to install hades it wants to install all the 8 gigs again!

#

did I just loose my entire game progress??

sharp narwhal
#

Are you logged into the right Epic account?

#

If it just wants to reinstall, it shouldn't touch your save files, but if you're worried, you can always copy your Hades folder, put it somewhere safe (in a different directory), and then reinstall.

limpid cobalt
#

i am, it's never logged out

#

okay, got it

#

but isn't this weird?

#

when i click to install it even tells my hours of gameplay

#

are the save files only in my native setup? like, doesn't it also save online addressed to my account?

sharp narwhal
#

No, there are no cloud saves for Hades

#

Epic is rolling out cloud saves gradually, but they haven't been implemented for Hades yet.

limpid cobalt
#

oh god...

#

well, it's installing

#

I guess Hades doesn't like spiders and he cursed you.

#

Hi, I have been playing Hades for a week now and after starting the game up today my progress was wiped. Is there some form which I can retrieve my files and does anyone else have had similar issues?

static anchor
#

so i bugged the game

#

asphodel, adament rail reflect on attack

#

wave dudes killed themselves

#

now im stuck

#

perma locked in a room

sharp narwhal
#

It's likely that your reward spawned offscreen somewhere; this is a known issue that sometimes occurs in Asphodel that we're looking into

#

Generally it will appear after some time

#

Also, for future reference, the game has a built-in bug reporter that you can use by pressing F10!

static anchor
#

yea it was hella far right

#

found it in lava

sharp narwhal
#

It sends a screenshot and a save file to us so we can investigate the issue

static anchor
#

ty for bug report button

#

will send others later if found rooAYAYA1

sharp narwhal
#

Thanks!

marsh plover
#

Can I transfer my save file from Epic to Steam in the future?

frigid crater
#

If I run the game through steam (which I have to in order to make my Steam controller work) it launches an old version of the game for some reason... Anyone know anything about this?

sharp narwhal
#

Do you have the latest version when you run it through Epic?

#

Also @marsh plover you'll probably be able to use the same save file location - I don't know for sure, but the game dictates its save directory. Even if Steam uses a different save location, you should be able to just copy your save from its current location in Documents over to wherever Steam saves to and loads from.

#

The save itself should work regardless since it's the same game and the same system, just different platforms

frigid crater
#

yeah if i run it through the epic launcher its the correct version

#

i noticed I had the game installed in two places, probably because I changed where epic launcher games were rooted... anyways it was the same with both of them..

#

Both of them had old versions if not launched through the epic launcher... So then maybe I have it in a third place, where the launcher is launching it from? But I cant find it anywhere else.. And I can't seem to be able to find a reference to the game files through the Epic Launcher settings.

#

Oh I actually found it in a third place now, and that seemed to work correctly... Geez.. It be nice if you could actually check where the files associated to games in the launcher were located ๐Ÿ˜›

sharp narwhal
#

Weird!! I think if you went to Control Panel and looked at your list of installed programs, it would've shown you where they were installed?

#

I thiiiink you can check your default install directory in Epic settings too but don't quote me on that, I don't have my laptop right now to check

frigid crater
#

I can't find it at least, if you can.

#

Maybe it's in some text file somewhere or something like that.. It's clearly not somewhere where it's plain to see at any rate... Never noticed how much better the dash feels now until i switched from an old to new version like this ๐Ÿ˜›

marsh plover
#

No, I'm just asking cause I wanna buy the game on Steam, but I cant wait so I'm decided to buy it on Epic and transfer the file in the future, plus I can support SuperGiant ๐Ÿ™‚

sharp narwhal
#

Yeah! Sorry the version question was directed at Anton ๐Ÿ˜„ Should've been clearer about that.

surreal pike
#

You should be able to use the same save files regardless of which platform you use thankfully!

marsh plover
#

Yes!!! Thank for the confirmation guys

leaden moth
#

idk if it was a bug or not, I just had a heat room in which more than 20 waves of enemies spawned, and it they wouldn't stop spawning until after I took a hit, after which they stopped spawning more. I haven't had this happen before.

#

is aphrodite working ok i haven't seen her in like 3 days played like 10 runs

#

@real zealot I think you just have bad luck

#

I've been getting her a few times in my runs

#

Whereas I haven't seen pos in prob 8ish runs now

fossil merlin
#

lol same i hadn't seen zeus or athena since my first run. just took about 15 runs to see them again vv

fallen hedge
#

few days ago i wanted to play Hades after maybe week or two not playing it and i found that all my progress and saves disappeared. And its not for the first time. Is that a known problem ? And how can i maybe get it back and what could possibly provoke that ? How can i prevent happening it again ?

flint compass
#

you can try the things listed in #hades-tech-fixes-old, but if they dont work, to prevent it you can only back up your saves in the future :( due to the nature of early access these things happen

#

if it doesnt work and you dont want to restart again, let me know, i can send you a save

potent zealot
#

I experienced some audio glitches when I loaded my save and was in asphodel. The music didn't play for one encounter then went normal till styxs when there would be weird audio cuts then booms of sound. When back in the house some of the voices went appearing even though they were ones I had heard voiced before. I'm not sure why this happened or if its a glitch and not my system??

sharp narwhal
#

@potent zealot This is a known issue that we're looking into. Closing out of the game and starting it back up should fix it!

cursive flume
#

A chaos portal spawned under non destroyable things on the stage

sharp narwhal
#

Cool, if you're still in the room, could you report that using F10?

cursive flume
#

Forgot about the F10 bug report, so I can't do that.

#

Sorry

sharp narwhal
#

Ah

#

That's fine!

#

I'll keep an eye out for it

cursive flume
#

Thank you. If I notice it again, I'll F10 it.

Heya, I didn't play Hades since Dionysus Update. Today I downloaded it again and my progress is deleted. Is there any way I can fix it.

hey i was doing a run and i was in asphodel, doing really good then i picked up a power pom and my game froze and i cany get it to do anything. i could not even give up, i was forced to restart my computer for the window to close and lost all my progress.

Hi, it appears to me like Artemis' dash boon does not do any damage like it should?

sharp narwhal
#

Artemis' dash works a little differently from other dash boons. It buffs your dash attack, instead of doing damage in an area like other dash boons - attacking with your weapon immediately after dashing should give you the benefits listed by the boon (increased damage, some critical chance).

leaden moth
#

If you're using the bow, the bow currently isn't getting any dash attack damage bonus

patent nest
#

Thank you, that makes sense ๐Ÿ˜‚

So I needed to get a new pc because the old one died on me. I'm still waiting for the new one, but need some information. The specs are AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 2.00 GHz, graphics AMD Radeon Vega 8, 8GB RAM and an SSD disk. Reading the game requirements, don't think that the graphics card will hold very well, but the other stuff will compensate. Does someone have similar specs or lower, that can give me some feedback, so I can know if the pc can hold on?

#

I hope that this is the right forum to ask this ๐Ÿ˜‡

rain cradle
#

What exactly model? I have matebook D14 and it runs hades at 40-70 FPS

#

At 900p

#

The important note is that the ram must be dual channel

#

Then it will be fine

#

If you can take an mx150 Nvidia model

solid tinsel
#

Well it's a Lenovo IdeaPad 330s-15arr-482. The RAM has a speed of 2400Mhz and is a DDR4

#

And I think that the can reach like 3.5 GHz if I use the pc on high performance

#

Sorry, 3.5 GHz with some boost clock

rain cradle
#

The problem with AMD cards is that openGL works bad on them. So it works at 40-70 FPS but getting mx150 give you twice many FPS

solid tinsel
#

The stuff that made me worried was that is an integrated card. But when I bought the laptop, I investigated a bit and looked at some tests and it can play some games pretty well (altough not on the hightest quality and the latest ones). I'm not an expert on computer stuff, but if you say that I can manage to play fairly well, it's fine by me

#

@patent nest the bow used to get the dash attack bonus, it was super broken

warped hamlet
#

Are hades saves stored on the epic account? or if i lost my harddrive i lost all my hours of grinding?

rain cradle
#

Stored in documents folder

warped hamlet
#

whats the name of the folder it saves it in?

flint compass
#

Documents > Saved Games > Hades

warped hamlet
#

thank you

noble walrus
#

Is the update live on the Epic Games launcher yet? If not, how do I check?

sharp narwhal
#

It's not; it will be announced here when it's live

cinder totem
#

And if you miss the announcement for some reason/the update doesn't begin automatically, you can always select "Verify" from the menu attached to the game in your library, which will check if your game is up to date. ๐Ÿ‘

noble walrus
#

Oh cool!

thorny trout
#

Are we talking atleast not a day away regarding the update? If that can be disclosed

sharp narwhal
#

The update will be today, "soon" according to announcements channel

thorny trout
#

Is the game really supposed to have volume levels different for each save you have? When pressing "Play" and hovering over saves, and going to a new save slot, the sound is max volume then, and the other are at the sound level that you set them at when ingame~ Seems a little weird to me~

sharp narwhal
#

Settings - for volume, captions, controls, etc - are locked to profiles, yes

leaden moth
#

I'm curious if controllers might get aim direction and movement direction split between the joysticks.

frail rain
#

I'm getting crashes on startup following the update

sharp narwhal
#

Crashes with a bug report window?

frail rain
#

Yup. After clicking launch the game jumps immediately to the bug report window

sharp narwhal
#

Alright. As long as you submitted it, we'll look into it and hopefully have a fix up quickly

frail rain
#

Thanks for that

frosty tiger
#

Although the download % keeps progressing veeeeeery slowly, the graphics are not moving at all and it just shows "reading" as the only active action ( see pic)

#

like even if I pause it they don't drop all to 0 or anything

#

and it's taking ages which it definitely shouldn't for something that size

forest plank
#

how do i fix this?

#

i ve tried to open it again but nothing

#

so i fixed it by going to the next round

near lily
#

Me too @frail rain
I was able to play a few Styx encounters, but when progressing to the next room the game just crashes immediately, and then I get the bug report window

sharp narwhal
#

Thanks for your reports - we're looking into the crashes, will hopefully have fixes out soon!

narrow estuary
#

had the crashes since last patch, but now i get them regular with reset the complete progress of the actual run. even got one just as i entered to fight hades and woosh crash and run reset :>

sharp narwhal
#

With or without a bug report window?

naive basin
#

does anyone have a save file that they could give me? lost about 70 hours of progress :/

narrow estuary
#

no bug report window just crash to win

sharp narwhal
#

hey I just got back to the game since January

#

my save had me in my room

#

the moment I walked out I got a bugsplat

#

giving a black screen

#

and that happens as soon as I load game now

#

has anyone else gotten this?

Hello, I made the download I launched the game but I don't have any saves. Can I do something or is my progression lost?

charred trench
#

@sharp narwhal had the same roblem as Cenoroid, sendt a bug report. It did seems to be only my 2 previous savegames, the new one i made to tested worked fine and i could move back into the main room(my two other files are now effectivly softlocked as they autosaved in the main room in the house)

minor skiff
#

I paused my game, tabbed over for a moment to another app, came back and now I can't hit Continue. The controller stopped working, tried keyboard. Nothing works. How do I report this?

charred trench
#

F10 on PC

sharp narwhal
#

@charred trench I think you're experiencing a different crash. Looking into it

minor skiff
#

Even F10 isn't working.

sharp narwhal
#

@feral wren A small hotfix went out recently - check and see if your saves are loading now

charred trench
#

one of my savegames suddenly started working but other was still broken apparantly

sharp narwhal
#

Alright, that must be the other issue then

#

Glad one is working

charred trench
#

main save is the one that started working so thats nice so i can actually have a run before bed :)

sharp narwhal
#

Alright, another small fix - you should be on 23623 now

#

if you're still crashing on 23623, report again

charred trench
#

ill have a look once it actually shows up and is downloaded

half marten
#

Im crashing on 23623 in two fun ways: on my main save i cant start a run, and on my other save it crashes when i try to load it. Ive already reported via the tool, is there anything else I can do or just wait for fixes?

ripe slate
#

Sigh, can't play the game either.

#

Are only new games working?

sharp narwhal
#

I'm seeing a lot of crash reports but they're all from 23622

half marten
#

Huh, my in game version is 23622 but epic launcher says its 23623

charred trench
#

yeah no download for 23623 for me either so or atleast its 23622 ingame but laucher says 23623 as max said

sharp narwhal
#

Checking with an engineer, just a sec

#

Try restarting your Epic client to force the update?

charred trench
#

not sure about forcing as i don't see an option for it but tried restarting the client a few times already

sharp narwhal
#

Noted.

half marten
#

Force quit the launcher and still no update. Would a full reboot possibly work?

stark ferry
#

Same problem. in game 23622 in epic launcher 23623. Crushing when start run after weapon room

#

I got no crashes right after update but it just downloaded a small update and now crashes every time residentzag

sharp narwhal
#

Sorry yeah we're working on it! Looks like the fix may not have pushed through

#

Thanks for your patience

charred trench
#

no worries we are here to help you guys test out and report problems anyway

unique belfry
#

Well it seems that I have lost all my progression. Anyone else got that?

modern coral
#

Emm, no shadeeyeroll

sharp narwhal
#

Aaaalright one more go around this, should be another small update and then give it another try, y'all

charred trench
#

last savefile works now

#

23624 worked

sharp narwhal
#

Great! Good to hear

half marten
#

Cool, no more instant crashing on 23623. Should i be getting 23624 soon?

ripe slate
#

23623 worked after a client reboot

#

Thank you so much!

#

just confirming the "start of game crash" issue here - appreciate you're all working on it, I've been there on the "production release day launch issue" train, sending all the best solidarity for everything being sorted โœŠ

#

It'll say 23624 in the Epic client but probably 23623 in-game

ripe slate
#

the graphic updates to be the goofy face

sharp narwhal
#

potato, potahto

ripe slate
#

updated*

charred trench
#

ah yeah right thats correct its 23623 ingame

ripe slate
#

so whatever is the goofy face patch is working lol

#

It says 23623 in my client and crashes stopped

#

Cool, thanks so much! I really appreciate the help

#

Thanks๐Ÿ˜‹

confirming it's working for me now - thanks!

#

now if we only could have cloudsaves aswell :P, got 2 pces that i need to manually transfer savegames between and saw that main pc had outdated file. Guess that would be nice for people that apparantly lost saves aswell (having backups). But i guess thats a feature request that devs should be aware of by now.

craggy willow
#

My epic says 23624 and still unable to start a run...

near lily
#

No longer crashing! Thanks for the swift fix.

opal walrus
#

I'm not getting the option to update to 23624. Glad it's not just a me problem at least

#

oh wait i have it, just got thrown off by it being one less in game
I get crashes trying to load my save when I launched the game manually, it seems to be working through the launcher though

opal walrus
#

although i do kind of want to start a new save to see some of the earlier-game changes (e.g. how to unlock Orpheus) ๐Ÿค”

frail rain
#

Just verified my install via the Epic Games launcher and the game loaded

sage rock
#

Mine says it's 23624 in the epic client but it crashes almost instantly when I launch it. I've tried verifying and restarting clients and doing windows updates but no success. My event viewer shows an .net runtime error.

stuck hearth
#

So... this is an interesting one. I just entered the snakestone miniboss room, and the screen sort of blacked out. I hit pause, and the screen is just a flickering image of the weapon room from before I started the run, but paused. I can still hear the sound effects when I arrow through the options, but the image doesn't update. If I unpause, I can hear the miniboss fight continuing in the background. I still hear my attacks and actions, everything is still happening, but I can't see anything. Just this

#

I assure you I am not actually paused in the weapons chamber, haha

sharp narwhal
#

That's...a doozy

patent bronze
#

Hi, I just got a new pc and I'm wondering how can I transfer my progress

flint compass
#

@patent bronze the saves are located in documents > saved games > hades, transfer the files to the new pc!

patent bronze
#

oh okay thank you @flint compass

sage rock
#

@sharp narwhal That did it! thank you!

visual summit
#

are saved games linked to epic games or a physical file on the hard drive?

sharp narwhal
#

Physical file. They're saved in Users>Documents>Saved Games>Hades

#

Epic is rolling out cloud saves gradually but they aren't available for Hades yet.

shut island
#

So here's my situation: I backed up all my files on a hard drive last week and since then I had to delete all my files and reinstall everything. are my save files from last week compatible with the new update? Do I need to change anything or just copy over my backed up files?

sharp narwhal
#

Your save files should be compatible, yes. You can just copy them over!

shut island
#

It's not working for me ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

sharp narwhal
#

What's happening?

shut island
#

So I'm on linux and running the Epic Game Store with Lutris. The game opens up fine, but the saves are not there

#

I tried to start a new game and then it crashed

sharp narwhal
#

I assume since you're running on Linux you'll probably have to do some finessing with the directory where the save files are located

#

Fair warning, I know very little about Linux

#

But I'd assume the game is trying to read from and write to a directory that's formatted differently on Linux than it would be in Windows - e.g. Users>Documents>Saved Games>Hades

#

Unless it was working fine before, in which case can you replicate the way you had it set up to work on Linux previously?

shut island
#

No I'm also new to Linux (hence the wiping the computer)

#

I'll see if I can find the folder it's looking for

sharp narwhal
#

I'd look to a Linux support forum for ways to work with games with set save directories

#

Or just tips on running Windows games on Linux more generally

#

My own advice is going to be pretty limited

shut island
#

haha yeah that's what I've been doing the last 48 hours

#

trying to get all my games to work again

#

Thanks for the help ๐Ÿ™‚ I'll hit up the channel again if I find a solution

#

@sharp narwhal Will a crash report help with figuring out how to get it working?

sharp narwhal
#

If you want to submit one you can, to see if it's another issue, but I really don't know what we'll be able to do in terms of forcing the game to work on Linux

shut island
#

I was thinking just in terms of seeing why it crashs when I try and start a new game. I sent one it just in case it had something to do with the save file locations.

#

Keeping on to work on it ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi. Are there still known issues with performance on higher resolutions? I have a computer that should be able to run this fine, but there is a noticeable delay in responsiveness at higher resolutions. This is full screen and borderless

sharp narwhal
#

@shut island I'm not seeing your bug report in our database unless it's a NativeOpenGL issue; is the report window that's popping up a window from Hades, or is it a system bug reporter?

shut island
#

From Hades

sharp narwhal
#

Hmm

shut island
#

Screenshot?

sharp narwhal
#

Could you pull it up and let it crash again and send me a- yeah, a screenshot would work

shut island
#

๐Ÿ‘

sharp narwhal
#

ah, ok yeah so yours was the nativegl issue

#

I'll bump that over to Dexter and see if he knows what's up

#

You don't have to submit it, I found yours!

Thanks!

#

Hounestly feeling so special, not used to getting to actually talk to game devs and getting a response. Thank you for the support ๐Ÿ˜„

No problem!

well on Linux using another source I was only able to run the game , click start, choose save (yeach the app create normal enviroment so I just go to documents/saved games and copied mine here) and watch an black screen with freeze. So I had to kill process in manager .

#

Did not triedmore cuz this took me like 3h. But if Hades will feature linux support im gonna install linux Again becuase openGL runs so much better ( like twice many FPS) on AMD gpus.. Anyway Im looking for Switch release if there will be such possibility

Hi, on .23623, having an issue where loading any of my files gives me just a black screen. Sound (And subtitles) still seem to be working though; wherever I am on both saves I seem to have the railgun.

So, my game hasn't updated yet, i live in brazil, is the update available for my country? (Already tried to uninstall and install) My version is 0.23623!

#

So I know I should report bugs with f10 . I do. But my laptop just died so I can't for a bit. ^^" Figured I'd post here and then go and report it tomorrow as well.

The issue is that my resources/rewards/whatnot are not displaying (except for nectar and darkness but that could be due to use / early pickup) until I pick a new one of a specific category up. Essentially, keys don't exist on my screen until I pick up a new key. Same for gems, diamonds, blood, etc. This happens every time I start a new run. They just don't display. Obviously they still exist, even when I don't pick one up on a run, because I can exchange them in the house as per usual. But on the runs the right side of the screen's empty.

sharp narwhal
#

@topaz venture 23623 is the current version

#

@ember quartz You're probably seeing a bug where your room reward spawned at a distance from you in Asphodel. Look around

#

@keen hamlet Resources no longer display by default during runs. You can open the boon menu to see how much you have of everything. The only resource that should display by default during runs is nectar

#

Question. Should I be seeing the Welcome to Hell release art on the start up screen like with all of the other updates? Because it does say "Welcome to Hell" update but no art. Super minor, does not affect gameplay at all, just seemed strange

ember quartz
#

@sharp narwhal it ended up spawning waaayyy off in the fire and i died getting it :(

I'm sorry! If you see that happening again, could you please f10?

Hello, i have a big problem with the game and i don't know what else to do

#

When i load the game, the menu works fine but when i get into the game the frames drop at 3-5 fps and the cpu usage for the game drops to 3% but if i tab out the cpu usage goes back up until i tab into the game again.

#

It started to happen a long time ago, around 2-3 months now so i just gave up on playing but i'd like to play the game now and i was hoping for a fix after the update

sharp narwhal
#

Hi, have you made sure that your graphics card driver is up to date?

robust arch
#

Yes, both graphics card driver and windows updates

sharp narwhal
robust arch
#

I only have one graphics card, i also tried to change the display from fullscreen borderless to fullscreen and subsequently to bordered at different lower resolutions

tribal kelp
#

Hello,
I have a problem, I reinstalled Hades on my new computer and the controller I use is no longer recognized by the game while on my old computer, it is operational. The controller works too because my computer shows me that he is connected. I don't know where the problem comes from and it's annoying because I only have this controller and I can't see myself playing with my mouse and keyboard.

robust arch
#

So in the menu the game works fine, no lag, no frame issues, no cpu issues but once i load either a new game or an old save, my frames go down to 3-5 fps, the audio is fine and the cpu usage for the game drops to 3% as opposed to 60% when in the menu so the frame rate issues might stem from the cpu use dropping to 3% and not related to the graphics card

sharp narwhal
#

@tribal kelp Try reinstalling the drivers for the controller on your new machine. Is it a standard console controller?

#

@robust arch Could you send an email about the issue to support@supergiantgames.com? And follow these steps to attach DxDiag information to the email, please:
4. Run dxdiag.exe and generate a report by clicking "Save All Information". (More detailed instructions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028644/windows-open-and-run-dxdiagexe)

tribal kelp
#

It's an horipad switch controller. I don't know if it's a standard controller or not but it's pretty basic I think

#

a wired controller exactly

hoary glade
#

For some reason my controller doesnt work on Hades , it works on Steam but not in game ?

#

I have the drivers installed

#

My playstation three controller works but Xbox one doesnt haha

sharp narwhal
#

Is your Xbox One controller wireless?

hoary glade
#

No

tribal kelp
#

I reinstalled the drivers but it still doesn't work, the game does not seem to recognize it

Hello everyone. I have run into a situation where the game freezes when I try to talk to Charon in his shop at Asphodel. This could be reproduced by reloading the save. This is first time Hades has ever glitched for me, so please let me know if this is a known bug or if I should report this. (Read the #readme-first and searched for 'freeze' with no avail). I also recall that there was a button dedicated to creating an error report - would someone care to remind me which one it is, please?

#

(Oh, it is F10, okay, neverming the last question)

sharp narwhal
#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

talking to charon crashes the game. Im pretty sure it has to do with the "meet al chthonic" achievement in the new achievements table

It's only in some instances! We're looking into that crash now, will hopefully have a fix soon

#

great, thanks!

Dash attack damage up still isn't increasing the bows dash attack damage.

Someone encountered that game randomly start stutter every 1,5s when entering room until game restart/next encounter?
l'm launched MSI Afterburner to track my rig condition when this happens.

lament fiber
#

hunting blades produces random crashes in the small styx chambers if you instantly cast 3-6 after entering the room
maybe its "too much sound effects" going on - the sound is stuttering first
only had crashes with hunting blades never with any other playstyle so it has to be related

sharp narwhal

f10 please!

talking to charon crashes the game. Im pretty sure it has to do with the "meet al chthonic" achievement in the new achievements table
I have the same problem, I'm currently in chamber 32 in Elysium. Everything was fine until I got the Fates list, if that's a cause of problem.

sharp narwhal
#

We're aware of that issue and working on a fix!

dreamy rapids
#

If it helps, the game doesn't crash, when you have a proper dialogue with Charon. (the "!" mark)

I dont know if that fits here but i dont know where to put it so imma try here. I just ran into a Problem i had a few months ago too, but it got fixed right away. Iยดm currently playing with an xbox 360 wireless controller on PC and now i cant navigate in the Controls(bc somehow its always switching between mouse and controller even tho i tried plugging out my mouse) and my B-Button does dashing and casting at the same time and i cant change this. This happened after the Patch today.

#

There are known issues with using wireless controllers to play Hades. We'll be evaluating those issues long-term; for now we recommend using wired controllers!

@sharp narwhal can l just add answer to letter? or better send new one? (previous contain same error)

well not same 1:1, but too "system.outofmemory"

@fresh pebble have you been talking to Achilles and not getting the conversation from him?

#

If so could you F10 so I can look into it?

dire trout
#

I'm getting a hard crash whenever i try and go to elysium. (F10 not working) cursor is still visible but can't tab out or anything.

#

Additional info(hades voicelines don't trigger before the hangup happens and using chaos shield)

sharp narwhal
#

So the window is still open but frozen?

#

Or does it crash to desktop?

dire trout
#

Window still open

#

Right after the new zone transition.

sharp narwhal
#

And alt+tab isn't showing any other open windows?

#

If F10 isn't appearing, you can also try this with ctrl+alt+delete:
+ The Bug Reporter window will sometimes not appear. Please close ProcessCapturer.exe via Task Manager

dire trout
#

Alt tab and ctrl alt delete aren't working (kinda the reason i'm calling it a hard crash/hangup(

sharp narwhal
#

Alright. Close out however you can and then check Windows Event Viewer; you can save the crash logs there and send them to us at support@supergiantgames.com

#

Please notify support@supergiantgames.com and attach Windows Event Viewer information as follows:

1. Search for Event Viewer in the start menu, go to Windows Logs > Application
2. Select all of the "Error" events you can find related to Hades
3. In the Action menu bar, choose "Save Selected Events"
4. Run dxdiag.exe and generate a report by clicking "Save All Information". (More detailed instructions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028644/windows-open-and-run-dxdiagexe)
5. Attach the .evtx file and DxDiag.txt and email us!```

Would tile data layer issues fall under that? Sorry not tech savvy.

I don't think so, that sounds like an issue with your computer - you can google solutions and see if those help

thats the thing, i've tried it on both my laptop and pc. both crashed trying to get into elysium

Did you copied Hades to another PC?

#

Maybe you have corrupted files?

yeah i copied the save data but the crash reset the run back to the house of hades.

would the game updating mid run do anything to screw up the file?

It shouldn't have, no

Hi, after you open a treasure chest and then finish it, the game no longer let's you quit (save and quit) and instead it says give up even though you cleared the room. I assume this is a bug

Hello! New player from a couple of days ago here. Maybe this is a dumb question to ask here, but I am noticing that every time I clear Last Boss, my weapon clears are all 0 but that last one I used. This reflects too in the Master of Arms fated prophecy list, that never fills up. I am positive I have cleared a 0 Heat run with every weapon at least once, and a couple of 1 Heat. Am I doing something wrong?

Well, I needed to reinstall windows on my pc and then I lost all my progress in Hades, which was quite big for me.
Anyone know if there is something I could do now?

cinder totem
#

Hey @minor garden , sorry to hear that. Hades save files are only stored locally, so the reinstallation must have wiped the files. There's no way to recover your game saves at that point, but I know that the Hades speedrunning community keeps some save files on hand as resources (so runners can all start with the same access to unlockables). If they're up to date, you can use one from here: https://www.speedrun.com/Hades/resources

minor garden
#

Ow, thank you @cinder totem , that will help me a lot โค๏ธ

My pleasure! Make sure to thank the speedrunning community too! They're entirely independent from us, but I know more than one person whose saves they've.... saved!

Hey all it seems the game keeps crashing upon steam start up on trying to start a new game any suggestions?

Hi there! We have some tips in #hades-tech-fixes-old you can try. I'd suggest making sure the game is running on the correct graphics card, and updating your C++ redistributable.

Can you transfer your save from Epic Games store to the Steam version ?

thin sparrow
#

@hoary glade Yep, you sure can!

sharp narwhal

Saves should be in the same folder no matter which version of the game you play, so your progress should be right there when you boot up the Steam copy, and vice versa!

There is no mouse sens option is there? I find basic sensitivity extremely low, so I have to change my mouse DPI every time I want to play the game. Would be very good to have this option in-game.

Thanks for the feedback @cold moss ! If you check out the pins in #hades-feedback and get the early access role, you can post the suggestion in there for others to see and vote on! It's a more surefire way to make sure the team sees it and considers it for the future. ๐Ÿ‘

did the bug of orpheus not appearing even though zagreus said that he was there got fixed? I saw there was an update

sharp narwhal
#

Hi there! We're looking into the issue of the voice line playing when it isn't supposed to. However, Orpheus no longer appears spontaneously in new saves, so that by itself isn't a bug.

#

Previously his appearance was tied to the number of completed runs, but that's no longer the case.

hihi, can i launch the game with low specs via launch options on steam? i currently have to make do with a toaster setup and i get sound but can't actually see the main menu

sharp narwhal

@manic rain There are no adjustable graphics options for Hades other than window size. Updating your graphics driver may fix the display issues; check #hades-tech-fixes-old for more info and #hades-faq for minimum specs

manic rain

ah, ye, mb, i saw on steam forums right after that the codes apparently are the same and it's basically all been answered already, sorry. ๐Ÿ™ƒ stuff's fixed! maybe let morgan know to remove specifications of the launch options being for epic launcher in #hades-tech-fixes-old, if they're the same in steam, as that confused me. thanks though!

Okey I just spend little over 4 hours in just released steam version and have some bugs to report:
-When I speed in labyrinth and try to jump in to next chamber asap i have this glitch/clipping effect as my character is doll attached to the fun.

  • There is no animation for my spear when im going to next chamber if i left the spear laying somewhere (the crystals have this animation where they float towards me
  • Sometimes I get the (-) goods aid points even if i dont have the perk - happens mostly if i have perk in previous game
  • (Not really a bug but) the fire after slaying hydra have resolution like it was pulled from 80's :/
  • Not sure if that supposed to be like that but its very irritating so Im posting it here - the shield Elysium warriors (my most hated enemies in whoooole game, those shields are op as...) have shock wave which also goes through walls... dont know if it supposed to be like that but that's annoying
  • When dummy will be forced summoned (buying the weapon before he appears naturally) we have (!) but we cant speak with him
    Hope it will help ๐Ÿ™‚
