Hello, I am having a problem with my game saving files
I am using Windows x10, and I also use Bitdefender. I tried turning it off, I tried whitelisting every file, nothing is working for me at the moment
The game is cracked
@dusty steeple what specifically isn't working?
check if the folder/the files listed there are marked as read-only
They are, I am changing now and will reload the game. One moment
you might not be able to change manually
Hey got a crash today on the switch version when using the gloves as a weapon and get the chaos boon where you first get more dmg by enemies but after? 3? Encounters your I think special attack does % more dmg.
hey @red summit ! I believe the devs know about and are working on fixing switch crashes, thanks for reporting it!
This is pretty minor, but if a charcter had (!) Dialogue, and I gift them nectar / ambrosia before I start the (!) dialogue, I have to walk away from the charcter and walk back to them before the prompt to hear the (!) dialogue is active again.
@ember narwhal that sounds like a bug, you can report that in-game with 
Thank you!
sure thing!
Is there a list of known bugs for the switch version? There's something to report but I don't know if it is a duplicat
duplicate*
@pallid moon it's fine to report a duplicate
||The final boss fight, the exploding skulls will often have an invisible 'wave' effect. You can see the dust, but not the wave (and thus is it difficult to dodge sometimes). It happens more often when the skulls are slightly off-screen.|| (on switch)
Just read through the tech-fixes post, doesn't seem to address my issue.
I'm on a Macbook and the game runs pretty smoothly for about 10 seconds before it freezes. I can still hear my character responding to my inputs but the graphics are not responding. After about 10 seconds it unfreezes and the whole cycle repeats itself. Is there a thread on this?
I submitted a bug report, but I just died to ||EM4 Hades|| and now I'm stuck on the death screen, and have been for about 5 minutes now.
@drowsy jay Try restarting the game—if you're back at the House, but before the run started, check #h1-tech-fixes to recover the run (if you want to)
thats fitting
so
im still getting the not able to save error
changing read only manually is fully not possible
ive whitelisted it on my antivirus
and its not in onedrive documents anymore
i have no idea what to do
im reinstalling to see if that works but if it doesnt then i have no clue
@worthy terrace did you also check the windows 10 link in #h1-tech-fixes ?
the c++?
maybe im dumb
but i dont see the virus and threat protection tab anywhere
this is what happens when i try to go to virus and threat protection, wtf???
Has anyone had the Urge to Sing achievement not unlock for them? Seems to be bugged for me. (have submitted a bug report anyway)
Are you going to update the game to fix the framerate and the tiny texts on handheld?
Switch ver.
@junior magnet what text do you feel is tiny? i didn't feel handheld had tiny text so i ask
@fleet saddle Well, in general all the text is small, but especially those skill descriptions. A zoom in is also missing. I speak on handheld.
ok. seemed fine to me. if it helps, switch has a zoom tool feature of some sort
i haven't used it myself but it may be worth looking into
I have good eyesight but the game really looks extremely small on a handheld.
also, be careful not to use a mirror with zero skill points (until patch comes out with fix)
not eyesight. i may just be used to small font size from some other things 😛 but an option for larger text wouldn't hurt. i think some other people have also requested it so they may be looking into it already
okey I need help
just load game from steam and can't play properly, game freeze every new things come
PS. my laptop is mac os 10.14.6
@marble willow I see it unlocked for 14% of the people on Steam and for me as well, it should be working
@brazen dove which macbook model is it?
unfortunately, there's a known issue with 2013-2015 models of Macbook with intermittent game freezes, we are investigating that right now
okie, hope you have update and fix soon, cause overall is looking good
@crude acorn Yeah I noticed that as well which makes it even stranger. I'm not the only person it's happened to it seems. https://www.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/iwqpaf/achievements_not_showing_up/
hm interesting, we'll investigate
Thanks, much appreciated.
I've been playing the game since the early days of early access and never once started a new save. I always had this last keepsake locked and for the life of me couldn't figure out whose it was. So I did a quick google today and found out my keepsakes list is also out of order it seems, and the last one which is locked doesn't even exist? I hope this doesn't break my game but is there a way to somehow fix this?
You miss ||2 keepsakes.|| The order is also ok 👌

wait @rain cradle who exactly am I missing?
Good Morning, since 1.0 launch I have had to save corrupts
first on profile 1 then on profile 2
I tried changing the Profile1.sav and Profile2.sav as instructed still wont launch the save data
wait @rain cradle who exactly am I missing?
@hallow gull || Persephone POM Blossom and Hades keepsake ||
hmm ok
@crude acorn Hello did Ellis mention anything about my cloud sync problem?
Hey i have a bug issue where i am unable to ever give hades nectar. Not even the first one. I have also cleared the game over 10 times, and I still am unable to gift nectar. the prompt option never appears
@dense parcel I'm not sure I fully understand the issues you are having, could you type them out to me in a private message?
@gleaming wasp how do these manifest themselves?
@light forge do you get a popup asking to send the crash report? how often does the crash happen and at which point of the game?
@chrome basalt could you press F10 when next to Hades and report the bug in the bug reported that pops up?
@crude acorn Seems to be happening anywhere. Has happened in the hall of hades when I was idle, when Im in tartarus or the area after. Havent been able to pinpoint what could be causing it.
@light forge found your report, I'll take a look now
@light forge in the meantime, I suggest trying to verify your game files from Steam/Epic
@waxen drum This is a known Mac issue that we are currently working to address
@pallid moon Yes, we're aware of that issue and investigating it, thanks for the report!
@worthy terrace Do you have a third party antivirus, or just windows defender?
@light forge @crude acorn I have the exact error on gtx 1660 super. It happens every 5-10 minutes.
@crude acorn I have sent lots of reports with my discord name and some with my email.
I have a big problem. The game crash in the mirror like you see in the Video and now i can't load my savegame. When i load it crash directly. I play on switch.
@tidal osprey same boat, mate. I haven't seen an ETA posted but know they're working on a patch for these Switch crashes.
@oak mauve I see the reports, looking into them now, I suggest trying to verify files as well
@primal solstice thanks for the info. I hope my Game can be saved
@crude acorn i Install the game again but still the same
@tidal osprey yes, unfortunately the game acts as if the save is corrupted and we are working on a fix
@crude acorn I did. I also unistall the game and install it again but the error persist. I use steam and i have the game installed on D: drive not C: , i don't know if this helps you.
@crude acorn thanks for the info. So start a new File will result in the same?
@tidal osprey If you start a new file, you can most likely avoid this specific bug by making sure you have at least one rank invested in every talent in the Mirror that's available to you
@sharp narwhal First is just was im Game in the second Part after Meg. Then on the mirror and now i can't load my game anymore.
Can't load the game at all, or just the save file?
Hello! I have an issue where the sound kinda stutters sometimes, which I've noticed doesn't happen as much when I turn on vsync, but when I have vsync on, the game slows down/FPS starts dropping in some rooms.
I think this became an issue in the Blood Price update, but I didn't play the game as much back then, so I only recently started noticing this pattern.
@sharp narwhal Just the save
Right, so if you start a new save, you should be able to avoid the issue with the Mirror by investing at least one rank in every available talent
@sacred mulch Report that in-game using F10 please!
@sharp narwhal but is It possible to rescue the old save file?
Not currently, no - we're working on a patch that should restore corrupted saves, though, and hope to have it out soon!
@sharp narwhal ok. But beside this its a great game. Well done
Thank you, and sorry for the trouble!
@crude acorn I have already tried verifying files and showing as ok 😦
@sacred mulch Report that in-game using F10 please!
@sharp narwhal will do!
@light forge we are on the same boat bro 😐
@oak mauve yeah sucks as the game is great otherwise
my pc is old as hell so hoping its not my pc being unable to handle it
@light forge yes. Nikola is checking my crush reports also.
@light forge mine too. My cpu is old but my gpu is a 1660.
But i was able to play on early access without a problem. With error happens only on 1.0 update.
I didnt play much of early access but I dont recall this happening either
It's something with 1.0 update i am sure. We also have the game installed on a different drive other than C: . Your crush report says D: drive as mine.
Let's wait till Nikola exams the reports. 🙂
@sharp narwhal malwarebytes
Alright, that's why you can't get into controlled folder access - it's actually disabled if you have a third party antivirus
So that shouldn't be the issue
Let me backread your messages here and I'll see what else I can suggest off the top of my head
Alright, you mentioned deleting OneDrive - was Hades saving to your OneDrive Documents folder before you deleted it?
Like was there a folder there for \Saved Games\Hades
No but it was trying to sync
Well actually
I'm not surr
Does that folder stay on my computer after I delete the app
You can check, I think the path is like \Users \ [your name] \ OneDrive \ Documents \ Saved Games \ Hades
That's probably the issue
This happened when I downloaded blasphemous too, I guess I should've thought of that
Alright, I'm going to ping @earnest wasp who also I think had an issue like this where she unhooked OneDrive but Hades had chosen it as the default filepath or something, pretty sure she eventually got it fixed and might have some better pointers
Oh no, OneDrive at it again I see
Yeah I ended up copying my Saved Games folder, disconnecting the Documents folder from OneDrive*, and then slapping the Saved Games folder back in Documents on that drive.
*This will trap all your files from that folder in OneDrive just fyi, but you can retrieve those files from the internet so they’re not gone.
Some stuff you'll probably see when you pull it off:
where are my files gkdjhgfdkhg
OneDrive is a public menace.
Any else having trouble dashing in Hades? Is there a bug related to this? Sometimes I hit my dash key and it works. Sometimes it doesnt. Works maybe 25% of the time Is guess
Hello my girlfriend is playing on switch and her save file got ruined. it sent her back like over 20 runs
is there a fix for this with the nintendo cloud saves or can i transfer my PC save to her?
@cedar viper do you get similar issues with that button outside of the game?
Ye xD
Its exclusively with Hades and killing the game for me
Check in #h1-tech-fixes , there's a part on input issues
TY
@mossy plover Unfortunately, cross-saves haven't been implemented yet, so there's no way to transfer save files from computer to Switch. We're aware of a bug that may be what you described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/ixjcyk/lost_save_after_giving_up_on_switch/
We're working on a patch for Switch and hope to have it out soon, though not sure if this issue specifically will be fixed there since we're still investigating.
10 votes and 9 comments so far on Reddit
@sharp narwhal Any addl info on input bugs? Specifically dash? My dash only works 25% of the time Id estimate.
Thank you Ellis. Is there any advice I can give her? Is the temporary file still there somehow and she should wait for the update?
Or do you think it be best for her to try to get back to where she was
@mossy plover As far as I know there's not really a way to do save editing or move files around on Switch, sorry; probably best to just try to get back to where she was
@cedar viper You can try the launch commands /UseNativeGaInput=true /UseNativeGaInputNoControllers=false and see if that improves responsiveness; instructions for adding launch commands are in #h1-tech-fixes
Yup read that TY. Going to try. Hope it helps
I had a bug on the nintendo Switch version of the game with Patroclus where the subtitle of his dialogue the black box surrounding the text was much bigger and the text was completly bugged inside it, Not a major bug cause it disapeared when he stopped talking but just posting it to inform you.
Mine is freezing every 5-10 mins now, have uninstalled and dled again, verified files, still nothing. Am going to try isntalling to C drived then I'll give up 😦
@light forge There are some other things to try in #h1-tech-fixes , have you looked there?
Yeah sorry @light forge we're investigating; it takes a little while to dig into these reports, appreciate your patience in the meantime!
No rush, games only just came out so there's bound to be some stuff. Thanks Swan, I missed the bit about disabling the steam overlay so I'll try that next and see if any improvements!
Good luck!
@lethal lantern Thanks for posting! We'll investigate this.
@light forge if anythink works for you and the game stops crushing sent me a message as well. 😄
Yeah will do my friend
How do we stop the game from pausing on alt-tab?
@daring lily launch option /RequireFocusToUpdate=false
Instructions on how to use those are in #h1-tech-fixes
TY!
Sure thing o7
Woot it works 😄
Anyone else had the issue where the game is stuck on the loading screen when you start the game?
It used to work just fine and I've already verified the game files
@wary silo Try the launch commands /UseNativeGaInput=true /UseNativeGaInputNoControllers=false if you haven't already, steps for accessing launch commands are in #h1-tech-fixes
It worked, I got through now, it was really laggy in the menu though but not in the game itself so fine by me
Thanks!
C drive installation and disbling overlay didnt work 😦
Heading food anyway, thanks for the assistance so far1#
!
jesus christ my typing :p
one other potential fix @light forge
On Steam:
· Right-click on Hades in your Steam Library
· Select 'Properties...'
· Press the button that says 'Set Launch Options...'
· Enter the following: /FullScreen=false /NoBorder=true /X=1920 /Y=1080On Epic Games Store:
· Select 'Settings'
· Scroll down to Hades under 'Manage Games' and select it
· Select 'Additional Command Line Arguments'
· Enter the following: /FullScreen=false /NoBorder=true /X=1920 /Y=1080
@stray elm i will try it right now. I have the same issue.
👍
is there a compiled list of major switch problems / how to avoid them for now? the two that i know of from reading here are
- save corruption: don't use mirror with zero points in something
- progress loss on giving up a run: don't give up runs
Those are the only two I know of off the top of my head
alright. thanks ❤️
@stray elm No joy with that unfortunately 😦
dang :/
@stray elm @light forge I just played for 30 minutes and no crush. Maybe the commands helped. I will play some more and i will report tomorrow.
sounds good! glad it worked
def still crashing for me unfortunately, just tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and still no dice
prob my old ass pc unfortunately
Hello team, I'm having some issues with xbox360 controller input for the Epic Games version on PC. I unplugged the controller during a run and after plugging it back in, half the controller doesn't seem to register during gameplay (but I can open the Codex properly, and the entire controller works in menus and such). Using the launch commands for mouse and input troubleshooting lets me use my K&M controls for gameplay after startup, but plugging the controller back in puts me back at square 1. Any advice?
hi @queen crow hmm have you tried restarting your PC?
then try starting the game with the controller already plugged in
No joy unfortunately
I initially thought it might be an issue with my PC registering the controller, so I rebooted everything and relaunched the game with the controller plugged in, and it was still giving me the same problem
ok thanks, does the controller work in other games now?
Yes, I tried it with Bastion and it was working fine
I'm not sure if this would help, but after I plugged my controller back in the first time and the issues emerged, I attempted to remap dash on the K&M controls and was having input issues there as well. Now, with the controller plugged in, if I launch the game even with the launch commands, I can't use dash/cast/etc in gameplay with the K&M controls
The K&M input issues didn't crop up until I tried remapping (cleared a room after dash stopped responding)
Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting anything!
Sometimes (rarely) when I start the game it gets stuck at 60 fps. But not normal 60 fps, it feels extremely sluggish, as if the frame times are really inconsistent. Normally the game runs at 144 fps (vsync on, without vsync easily 500 fps or so). This happens rarely, but when it happens it's really annoying and the only way for me to fix it is to restart my computer. I don't have issues with any other game. RTX 2080, I5-8600k, 16 GB RAM, Windows 10. Game is currently running in this state btw!
have you tried resetting your controls back to default in the Settings? or you could also try going here:
\Documents\Saved Games\Hades*
and deleting* Profile1.sjson** and** Profile1.ctrls**
(these are you settings files not your save progress)
I've tried it through the menu and was still having issues, but let me try deleting the files
hey @slender lotus try this:
· Right-click on Hades in your Steam Library
· Select 'Properties...'
· Press the button that says 'Set Launch Options...'
· Enter the following: /UseDXGI12SwapChain=true /UseSwapEffectDiscard=true
@dim spruce hi, thanks, that fixed it, game is running at over 500 fps in the menu now. May I ask what those launch options do?
@slender lotus they just change some options with the game's DirectX rendering that works better on some systems
Okay 🙂 Thanks anyway, the issue was really annoying and is gone!
@light forge @stray elm The game just crushed so the commands didn't help for me too. 😐
@dim spruce Hi again, just wanted to say that using those launch options apparently disabled the Steam overlay. Not a deal breaker, just FYI.
@dim spruce No change unfortunately: dash/cast/etc not registering in gameplay with controller or K&M even when game is started with launch commands if the controller is plugged in. K&M controls work as expected if game is started with launch commands without controller plugged in
@queen crow ok thanks for the info, we will look into it more, apologies for the inconvenience
Hey all - has there been any update on the Switch save issues?
No problem, best of luck!
@fair galleon We are still actively working on Switch save issues and hope to have a patch released soon. Thanks for your patience!
Got it, thanks @last kettle !
btw steam overlay is working again...
alt tabbed, steam overlay stopped working again haha
I guess when I alt tab it sometimes goes away
not a big deal
@fair galleon If you feel like starting a new save file in the meantime, you can also avoid save corruption by having at least one rank invested in every Mirror talent that's available to you
Oh, good to know! I was ~25h in, so I'm really hoping I don't lose that file, but if worse comes to worse I'll make sure to do that.
does someone know how to keep game going on
while background?
(alt tabed)
oh damn the poison damage of those rats are high..was cruising along till then, hoping to reach the boss 😦
hi @dire tartan using /RequireFocusToUpdate=false in the game's launch options should do that
gonna try thanks
should i do it on the properties?
properties icon*
im not sure where to do it
got it
uh its over steam?
it didnt work
Hi guys, I'm crap with PC's so sorry if this is obvious. Is there a way to lock my fps at 60 for ages without enabling vsync? With it on the fps is garbage
Im thinking the game is trying to run at 500+ fps so on my old pc is causing problems
for hades *
hey @light forge if you're having framerate issues try this:
· Right-click on Hades in your Steam Library
· Select 'Properties...'
· Press the button that says 'Set Launch Options...'
· Enter the following: /UseDXGI12SwapChain=true /UseSwapEffectDiscard=true
Hi Gavin, im not entirely sure if this classifies as a tech issue, but I've been playing the game since early access and got over 60+ clears now. However I still do not have Patroculs's keepsake. I also can't give him any nectar. So I dont really know what is going on here.
hey @short sparrow you can hit F10 in game so we can look at your save file but usually that means you're still missing some conversation or storyline you need to find first
Yeah I thought that would be case, but after 75 hours of conversations with pretty much everyone. Its hard to believe that I would still miss something.
I've submitted the report 🙂
Hello i have a problem where the game would become black screen mid gameplay and idk how to fix it
@lean berry check in #h1-tech-fixes
@dim spruce Its fixed, the codex entry probably got reset to "unseen" when I gave up after selecting a wrong keepsake and starting my run. Never checked it again. I got it now 😄 Thanks anyways, love your work!
hi I have a question - what happens if you change any of these files? or any of the Lua or SJSON files?
that's a question for the modding server, probably. the short answer is "weird things, probably"
oh theres a modding server?
got it ty
ye!
@wide canyon I checked your bug report - in order to unlock Legendary Aspects, you're missing a handful of conversations with Achilles. They're all pretty easy to get, and you only need one of them, so you can probably just throw a few runs away to get them quickly. If you made a lot of progress quickly, it's likely they just got backed up behind more plot-central convos.
As for the administrative chamber, I'm pretty sure you just haven't done enough runs yet to have seen the flashback that unlocks it.
@quaint sky Your favor with Hypnos isn't bugged, but you are still very early in the required subplot. Doing more runs probably is the answer here!
Any advice with my crash reports? heading off for the night but really want to play more!
even with the crashes just got to 'ornstein and smough' and got my arse beat :p
@light forge is there a name on your reports that we can look up?
sorry for aking but did u guys reduce fish chance in chaos e played since realse date and didnt see 1 fish in chaos weet.
...
must be a bug i mean i played 50h this week not even 1 and i go there 2 to 3 times a run
I forgot to put my name and email on them >_>
When it crashes next Ill do it with name on
@upbeat token it's a pretty low chance--I think around 5-7%
@light forge can you DM me with the name or email you used? I don't see anything under your Discord name here
Will do, like I say I forgot to put them on but will do from now on 🙂
Ok, played a little before bed and got a crash. Should have my name and I'll dm my email @dim spruce
@sharp narwhal Thanks for your reply. I have done 24 runs of which I finished 11 or 12, seems unreasonable, no? I mean it seems like I should get access before I completely finish the game not after, it's one of the most common achievements.
But if you are sure, I can try to finish a few more times I guess, it's just like I feel I will unlock everything after I am kinda done with the game. 😦
Achilles has a lot of main storyline conversations that can outprioritize the lower level convos needed for Legendary Aspect unlocks; it's very possible for them to get backed up if you started clearing super early and got very far on each run
I meant mostly the Access to Admin Chambers.
That's a lot, since I complete all my runs now. that's a good 4-5 hours 😛
I feel like I played 5 hours with every weapon now, would be nice to play a bit with the special aspects. But if it's no bug I guess I will continue. If I lose my streak I can also just suicide runs to force conversations I guess?
@sharp narwhal thanks for the help, but how many more runs...? I've done over 3 dozen since the last time I could give hypnos nectar
You need more conversations between Hypnos and Thanatos, so if you haven't been seeing him on runs or if he's been getting pulled away for other convos, that'd be doing it
what can i do to make them talk?
Hi, im not really sure if this is even some kind of bug, but I noticed rainbow-like spots (only a few pixel in width) everywhere. I guess this is a design choice? I just wondered why it is this way
It's a design choice; you can see it in character portraits too. Not sure about why - just what Jen & co decided on for the art direction!
@quaint sky Not sure there's a way to "make" them talk, unfortunately, other than trying to see Thanatos. There isn't a way to force him to show up but if you prioritize regular combat rooms (not Trials of the Gods, not Chaos/Erebus, not shops) your chances are statistically speaking better.
I see, thanks!
I've seen than in rooms multiple times, he just gives me generic lines now
do i have to see him a certain number? I'm just confused bc idk how this should work other than more runs, but I don't want to put in another 3 dozen lol
hi, i just recently bought Hades but it doesn't save my progress and every time I start the game, it warm me that there is a problem saving data, I've tried somo advises that the geme give me but they didn't work, I don't know what to do.
@tight lagoon Sorry about this. There's a few more things you should try in #h1-tech-fixes. Be sure to check the section about OneDrive and Windows Defender, as they are both known to cause problems saving
@quaint sky No, the conversations he gives you won't be on runs - those will still be generic - they'll just be back at the House. There's not any "certain number" of times you have to see him to trigger more House conversations, it's just RNG when you get back.
@thick lava thanks for your reply. I've already disable controlled folder access and i add Hades.exe to the white list and run as administrator to launch the game outside of Steam, but it doesn't work
so how do i get the hades folder out of onedrive
every time i play the game it just restores it
I...do not know. You've turned OneDrive off, right?
yeah
i just got rid of the entire one drive directory
i dont even have the app anymore
@tight lagoon Can you tell me what the file size is of your Profile1.sav file in \Documents\Saved Games\Hades ? It should be a few KB. If it's 0 bytes your save might actually be corrupt. In that case, I would restore from the backup save (.bak version)
Can anyone help me with black screen/crashing in the game? I have gone through all of the steps in the hades-tech-support page for the past few days and have been unable to fix it
@thick lava my profile1.sav file size 25,8 KB, so i don't think it's corrupt
@mint hull Here's another launch option to try if you haven't already: /UseDXGI12SwapChain=true I would also recommend you email us your DxDiag information just in case
@thick lava thanks. I just tried that launch option and it is still crashing. Is my DxDiag the information that pops up when it crashes?
That would be the in-game bug reporter. If you're seeing that and it doesn't have instructions on what to do to fix the problem, I would definitely submit that as a bug
@tight lagoon Do you have any other antivirus on your computer that might be locking your save folders?
@thick lava I had Mcafee when i installed the game, later I uninstalled it and actually just have windows defender. I already reintalled the game one time.
@thick lava I just submitted a bug report. I have submitted a whole lot of them previously but never put my name/email. I am assuming I just wait and see if you guys can help me through email?
Yeah, we'll reach out if we need more info about a bug report.
@tight lagoon If you're absolutely positive that McAfee is uninstalled (and not running in the system tray), it's possible the save games folder is still set to read-only. I would suggest following the instructions here & then restarting your PC: https://windowsreport.com/folder-reverting-to-read-only/
@dim spruce Checked back in with the Epic Games launcher just now and it was requesting an update to the game; installing the update seems to have fixed the issue I was having!
Stygian Soul + Multiple Ammo upgrade - Normal status, countdown working
Second Cast ammo timer when firing a second time originally
Ahh I see
Glitch timer issue with UI bug, caused by shooting a second time after first timer has ran out
No I didn't. Back when I encountered it, I soon forgot to bring it to SG's attention
I am only remembering now that I'm on this server
Well thanks for dropping it here! I'm sure the devs will look at this
@smoky forge If you still have that save, that would be excellent to 
Goodness knows how bad three ammunition pieces would look
I've confirmed more than once, it happens with every attempt involving Stygian Soul + Multi Ammo (don't remember the name of the upgrade/boon)
Also the save is long gone
But I've reproduced it without trouble
Then could you reproduce it and
it when given the chance?
How does the F10 work? Is it just a written bug report?
Oh, does it send the save state to them?
that has always happened to me with stygian soul and +ammo upgrades, i thought it looked a bit weird but was never positive if that was a bug
Cool, someone else who saw it
it takes a screenshot and your game log and sends it to the devs (awfully simplified). Its pretty nifty
Yeah it sends us the log file, save and some system info along with the written report. It's extremely useful -- gives us almost everything we need the majority of the time
Your game might freeze for a bit cause it takes a while to open it
Okay I just wanted to make sure it was something where there's any benefit over just explaining how it works and that it occurs without fail the same way each time
Though I guess it can be assumed that it's not in 100% of cases
Anyway yeah I'll F10 it when I can
As mentioned I always use Stygian Soul so I'll definitely see it again
Thank you so much!

My save files got replaced by a save file from the first day I played. I tried everything in the hades-tech-fixes, and my anti virus is disabled. It’s probably a wash to restore it, is there any other things I can do to help prevent it from happening again? Lost a good amount of progress ..
i f10ed it last patch
Not sure if a bug or not, but on my Switch file, Orpheus says the same line to me most times I speak to him, which seems weird considering nobody else does this. The line is “I hope the fates don’t ruin all your dreams as they did mine.” (Or something very similar, I forgot to screenshot it)
I thought maybe it was because something wasn’t progressing yet, but it’s been a few runs and it’s still happening
I have read through the tech fixes article, but my issue does not seem to be there. Every 3-4 encounters I will get an error saying it can't save, but it saves fine the rest of the time. Anyone had this issue or know a fix?
@compact crescent This could be caused by any number of things, though usually it's antivirus or OneDrive sync
Would google drive cause similar issues to OneDrive?
It's possible. If you're clearing rooms pretty quickly, and you have google drive syncing your saved games folder (or, probably you entire /Documents/ folder) it's possible the two processes are fighting over the save file
my friend just bought the game but is getting a black screen on launch, are there any potential fixes?
Yep, there's a section for that in #h1-tech-fixes
ah thanks
I took a screenshot of something I think is a bug, but didn't know about F10 at the time. How do I submit that screenshot as a bug?
Depends on the nature of the bug. It's usually best to
it if you get it again, or you can post the screenshot here (or email it to us)
@leaden junco The only reason I can imagine a newer save would get overwritten by an intact, much older save is if something is set up to cloud sync with your save files or your documents folder. If you have OneDrive sync set up, for example; it's also possible Steam sync downloaded older saves
@molten olive There's a bug with how the priority system works with some "miscellaneous" conversations like that; it's fixed on Mac/PC but isn't fixed on Switch, will theoretically be addressed once we can get a Switch patch out
Cool! Thankfully it doesn’t seem to be preventing anything essential, but I just thought I’d bring it up :)
yup yup! it's only on "miscellaneous" lines so definitely won't affect any new conversations or quests
I appear to be missing the upgrade to see boons in the codex..? My friend who's played this says I should get it pretty early on though.
The boon index is an item you have to purchase, not something you receive automatically; folks in #h1-discussion might be able to tell you the pre-requisites for it to show up
@thick lava Earlier, tried to reproduce it after I learned about F10 without any luck, so I'll post it here if that's okay. The gates and statues here don't turn translucent when near them. You can see I'm in battle. They turn transparent every other time I've been there. I tried moving away and moving back, but it persisted for that one room. This is on PC.
yeah, I'm aware
I've already beaten the final boss though and done many renovations
and it's not purchasable
this is what i have purchasable
+erebus gateways
Have you ever been offered a duo boon?
Or taken a duo boon, I should say
🤔 Not sure I know how to do that actually
Go ahead and report it with F10, I can take a look
Just did
We'd probably need to check your save file. But yeah, as Ellis says, that's the only requirement that seems like you may have missed
thanks for helping guys :D
Unless you haven't met all the gods yet, but I'll check that right now
Looking now
Hey! I don't know if anyone's asked this yet but my game can't save... I've tried all the options in a pop-up in the beginning of the game, but none of them worked.
I've had this problem since the beta so idk what's up with it...
Hey, this is usually caused by OneDrive (or other cloud file software) or antivirus. What's your antivirus?
OK, yeah there are instructions in #h1-tech-fixes on how to add an exclusion for Hades' save folder to Windows Defender (I'd probably start with McAfee though)
The main thing is to make sure \Documents\Saved Games\Hades is excluded from Controlled Folder Access, and that your antivirus isn't trying to sandbox Hades.exe
Gotcha. I'll get on that. Thanks a lot! I've been looking forward to playing Hades since beta
@woeful patio You've never taken a duo boon; that should be all you need
oh my

well
i thought after 28 runs i would have taken one
sorry for taking your time
thank you for helping
no problem! they're pretty rare, so you've probably only passed them up 2 or 3 times
i've definitely seen them before
but i'll be extra sure to take my next one
thank you!!
(stubborn roots is an easy one to get :P)
(Just wanted to say that I noticed you guys redid #h1-tech-fixes, it looks more organized now
)
Hello, i've played with the Hexagryphe. It happened very often while spamming the A Spell (Technique?) that maybe 0.5s/1s before touching the ground, the circle just teleport on me. I've lost a run after 4 hits from this bug while i was playing the benefits +300% dmg. And it look common when i play!
(Can happened without enemies in the room.
Edit: Woops, sorry didnt see that we could F10 to report a bug)
Might be bouncing off walls, it can do that
The reticle doesnt move until after it bounces
just bought the game on epic store but it isn't version 1
hi @fair plover could you describe what you mean in more detail? the version number in the upper right corner of the main menu should be 1.36076
beta v 0.31588
and in the games list it is listed as "hades tech beta"
auto updates are on
there should be a different product in your library that's simply labeled "Hades"
AHA! sorry my list is so full from all the free games i missed it
thanx, gav!
what's the difference in the versions?
the tech beta was simply a beta test version we did a while back
definitely not what you want now!
your save should carry forward to the 1.0 version still
doesn't matter, but yes you can uninstall it
hi, is the audio supposed to be really compressed for the switch version?
hi @snow prairie can you describe the problem in more detail? the audio is compressed somewhat but should still sound clear
it sounds muffled like a low bitrate video on youtube
i tried restarting my switch and changing audio settings but it still sounds low quality
Hey, so I've beaten like 12 runs at this point, finished the main story, but Achilles still hasn't given me the codex. Is this a known bug, or should I keep talking to him until he gives the codex to me?
@snow prairie are all the volume sliders up to the max? try that if not. and are you listening through the Switch speakers or some other device?
volume sliders are up to the max, i'm listening through my headphones
@whole olive yes most likely you just need to keep talking to him, though if after a bit longer you still don't have anything please use F10 to report it and we can take a look at your save
Sounds good, thanks.
@snow prairie does it sound better if you use the Switch speakers or docked mode?
it sounds the same with my switch speakers
ok sorry about that, thanks for the details. we will definitely take a look at if that can be improved in a patch
thank you! also i'm having trouble swapping controllers on the switch too
when i'm using my pro controller when docked, i can't swap over to joycons to go handheld even after changing grip/order
I think if you restart the game after making the controller swap it should work?
it does let me change but the problem happens again if i decide to use my pro controller again
Also got my save game file corrupted on switch. Same issue as others are reporting it seems. I have a question if I do start over and want to avoid the issue. I have heard to make sure I have 1 rank in each available talent. What if I don't have enough darkness to afford it?
@modern summit it should be ok, just buy them from top to bottom as soon as you're able to afford them
we hope to have a patch out soon though to fix it and hopefully restore your original save
I'm having possible issues with my save after the switch crashed, but I'm not sure if it's related to the recent save file corruption bug because I was able to load the save.
I walk out of the blood pool, talked to most people in the house (meg, hypnos, orpheus, cerberus, achilles, thanatos), then the switch crashes. (Error 2162-0002) I manage to turn the switch back on, reload the save to when zag is leaving the blood river, all dialogue same except for orpheus and thanatos. They repeat lines they said a really long time ago, some of which are now inconsistent in context of some plot stuff I've just ran into.
Let me know if you want the dialogue
@dim spruce I hope so. I'm probably going to hold off on playing until the patch. I started a hell mode game to try that out but don't want that to get bured as well.
@normal cliff sorry about that, yes it's probably related to the same issues and sounds like you may have lost some amount of save progress. we suggest making sure you purchase 1 rank of every available mirror upgrade as a workaround for now until the patch comes out
Unfortunately I don't have the darkness to do it so I think I'll just wait for the patch. Will it be able to restore my original save from before this? since I did end up saving over it and can still load my save file so I'm not sure if you all would be able to pick up on that
Ah one more question, are the Hades saves on Switch backed up to nintendo online? From my research so far on the error code for that crash I got could be a severe issue so I'm wondering what to do if my switch bricks
Unless I'm misunderstanding and the code 2162-0002 is just due to the hades save issue?
we hope the saves will be recoverable once the patch comes out
@normal cliff as someone using nintendo online, yes hades switch saves are backed up
Also just want to say I love the game and appreciate you guys working on a patch for this issue promptly. Looking forward to playing again soon.
^Same here! Thank you for your hard work
second wave of hydra heads just didn't spawn for me
already did
on it, just thought i'd post here at well
super weird
very strange, thanks for reporting @solemn bane !
wondered if it was like the old hydra skip, 'cause i went through its second vulnerable phase so fast
no worries!
Hi, I'm sorry for my bad English (I'm French) ! I don't have the folder "Saved Games" on Documents\Saved Games\Hades ! And the game can't save the party ! I try to create this folder manually but this is useless ! Someone can help me ? please .
Not sure if this is feedback or tech support: Joystick is very sensitive when Navigating in the house contractor and codex with Gamepad. More often that not I end up moving left and right when I want to scroll up and down quickly
@buoyant matrix please check out #h1-tech-fixes , there's a section **If the Game Won't Start or Read/Write Save Data
** there, if you have any questions about it, let me know
@tawny sparrow which controller are you using and on what platform? feel free to log this as a bug with F10 if on Windows
@crude acorn thanks you but i try all but don't work ! i can't save.
It’s on Switch with pro controller. Not sure if’s a bug bug or more of a quality of life fixe
I usually use d pad to move on menus, much better
what's the best place to report a bug?
@west cipher you can report bugs in-game with 
Although, for me, I find that I can't type in the in-game bug reporter window [the game grabs my keyboard input and won't let me type anywhere else]
Is there a list of known bugs somewhere?
anyone else having issues with game not responding on launch (steam pc) ?
@worldly lily there should be some things to try in #h1-tech-fixes under "If You're Having Issues Launching the Game, or See a Black Screen"
yeah I've tried almost all of the fixes trying another reinstall and reset after driver update hopefully sorts it out
@normal berry there isn't a list of known, but feel free to report any bugs with
!
Is there a list of known bugs somewhere?
@normal berry
--Athena Duo bug with deflect dmg
--Skelly doesn't show in Zag Room, you must pick an weapon before
--On Switch : [Probably] Mirror Bug, causing game unable to read save if you have an perk without rank (at least one level)
--Hades casts have invisible explodes (tho I did not encountered it)
... and probably few more. I do not seen people talked about others more widely.
Since F10 doesn't work for me [I can't type in the window that it opens], can I report a bug here?
sure!
So, unmarked spoilers: the Skelly "unlock" (kill him with Stygius Aspect of Zagreus, at MAX) doesn't seem to trigger for me. We've discussed it a bit over in hades-discussion, and the only thing that might be missing is that I don't have any other Aspects of Stygius unlocked, just Zagreus maxed out. [To be clear: I've had the dialogue with Skelly that gives you the Minor Prophecy; I've since maxed out the Aspect - switching to it gives no special dialogue from him, and neither does killing him with it, even switching between multiple other weapons, running into and out of the room, or even trying a new run and then coming back to him]
However, since the conditions for the Prophecy don't mention needing other Aspects unlocked, this is a bug [either in the trigger or in the wording of the Prophecy]
@vestal oriole thanks! have you tried submitting the issue with F10, even if you can't write text?
i am certainly happy to if it gets a useful copy of the game state to you guys
yeah, that would be great if you could
Aha, no resolved it just now, before I pressed F10: you can make this work by "trying to switch" to a locked Aspect of Stygius, and then explicitly clicking Zagreus again after "failing".
So I think that the trigger is probably tied to the button click...
ahh, that makes sense; should make it easy to reproduce and take care of on our side, thanks for the info!!
||Hey all, I've been told that I'm bugged regarding unlocking of Guan Yu Aspect (26 clears, more than 20 bloods across all the aspects, cleared runs with each weapon, lots of fated list quest unlocked, 100+ suicides) so I've reported via F10. I've got a friend that says I actually need a maxed out spear aspect as it's one of the requirement, is that true? Would like to know before wasting another 5 blood||
@eager zinc || You need a total of 5 unique aspects unlocked ||
Do you have that?
You do not need || a maxed spear aspect, can confirm that ||
Yup || I have 11 unique aspects unlocked, maxed an aspect on the sword and spear||
Are you || still getting important (!) dialogue from Achilles? || Either way I'd probably
, and include your discord tag or email on the report
Nope, ||It's been ages since I've gotten a (!) from Achilles.|| Alright sure thanks
Best of luck!
Hi, I'm having a serious graphics issue that the #techfixes section doesn't seem to fix.
On Macbook Pro mid-2014, Mojave 10.14.6, 16GB ram. Game starts fine, but when playing, every minute or so the visuals freeze (though the game continues). Sometimes I can pause and wait for it to correct itself, then unpause and continue playing. But just as often it permanently freezes the graphics so I have to quit.
Have done latest Mac update, changed fullscreen/v-sync settings, stopped steam overlay, unplugged external display, and changed launch settings, but no improvement.
Any ideas? Thanks.
@chrome sorrel may need up update graphics drivers?
I did the Mac latest update, which I thought updates the drivers at the same time? But perhaps this means I'll need to upgrade to Catalina...a scary prospect! :p
I don't know! Macs aren't my area of expertise xD
Might be something to look into a little bit 
Thanks :) Has anyone else gotten then game to work on Mojave?
Hi @chrome sorrel , this is a known issue we're looking into. We hope to have a patch coming soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Hello! Is it possible to port a save from my switch to my Epic version on PC? It says cross saves work in this game but I am kinda confused.
EDIT: Oh I see from some research it isn't working yet. Well my question to the devs is will you be able to bring a Switch save to PC? And above all else amazing game Supergiant! Love it!
@warped shell Thank you! Our goals for cross-saves include transferring saves between Switch and PC, yes. We hope to add this feature later this year.
Very happy to hear that! Looking forward to it. 
Seems about 50% of the time the game is unable to write saves? It's been like this for a while. anybody know what to do to fix it?
hi its seems that i have a bug with the success, i look at them and a lot of them are still lock.
@harsh patio Would you mind PMing me your DxDiag or system information, as well as your Hades.log file? You can find instructions on how to access those under #h1-tech-fixes
@lunar cairn Hi, which achievements are not unlocking for you?
let me check its in french so its will take a bit of time xD
Take your time! You can also paste them in French, if you want
Champion of Elysium, Weapon of Fate, Hold the Onions, To Charon's Credit,
The Useless Trinket, Something From Everyone, Day-or-Night Trader, River Denizens, Nyx's Mirror,Musician and Muse, Harsh Conditions,
Thorn of Thanatos /// i think that all but im not sure for some other like Skelly Slayer or The Family Secret
and i'm pretty sure that i did Death Dealer in the early access
Alright, thanks! Could you please submit a bug report in-game with F10 along with a brief note about this post? I'll take a look and see why these haven't unlocked yet.
Thanks, got it! I'll start looking into this now, though it may take a bit.
Hi, me and my bf play on my computer so we were using two saves, but suddenly my progress was on his save and the other save was something older. We deleted those saves and started again and I played a bit and then he played, but just like before his progress went to my save and the saves we had deleted earlier were there again, so yeah, lost my progress twice (tho it wasn't much), any ideas on how we could fix this?
sorry if this was confusing
After playing for about 15 hours no problem I now am unable to open game. As soon as I launch it goes not responding. So I've updated my graphics card (nvidia 980ti), verify game files, reinstalled game, signed in/out of steam and restarted pc.
Hi! Is it ok if I post in here even though I only just joined? I've been having a persisting model glitch where characters disappear, most notably Thanatos, this is the second time he's glitched on me, and the forth time I've had models go invisible. I was told to press F10 the last time this happened, but I'm on Switch so that is not possible :(
@somber condor, sorry to hear that. If you haven't already, could you try verifying your installation? See "Veryfying Game Files" on #h1-tech-fixes for instructions.
If that doesn't work, please send DxDiag and Hades.log to support@supergiantgames.com and we'll get back to you as soon as we can (see #h1-tech-fixes for how to find these files)
@worldly lily Sorry for the issues and thanks for trying those fixes. Could you please send your DxDiag and Hades.log to support@supergiantgames.com? We'll investigate and get back to you as soon as possible. Instructions on how to find these files can be found on #h1-tech-fixes
Hi @frosty tiger, welcome to the Discord! Thanatos appearing invisible is a known issue that we're currently investigating. What other models are glitching?
@last kettle Dusa has disappeared on me twice, once after a conversation with Meg, and another after a conversation with myself. I have a screencap of the Meg instance, but I don't have one of the time with me. I knew that she was still there at the time with myself because I still had the option to gift her.
Okay, thanks! Dusa is also a known issue that we're working on. We hope to address this in a future patch.
Thank you!
Hello - loving Hades! Have ran into a few bugs on the switch though. How should I report those? E.g. Stubborn Roots boon doesn’t recover any life
I can't seem to unlock the aspect of lucifer, I have the guan yu spear and over 5 blood invested in the rail but everytime I speak to Zeus he doesn't mention anything specific
@untold creek You can report them here and we'll take a look!
@sweet eagle Could you please submit a bug report in-game with F10? We'll take a look at your save file and see if there's anything holding the event up.
@last kettle Thank you I have submitted it
@lunar cairn Some of these achievements are not retroactive, meaning you must complete their requirements again. These should include Hold the Onions, To Charon's Credit, Thorn of Thanatos, Death Dealer, and Day-Or-Night Trader.
I see on your profile that you haven't unlocked a keepsake, which means that Something From Everyone hasn't been completed yet.
The rest should be unlocking retroactively. Are you playing on EGS or Steam?
Hi @chrome sorrel , this is a known issue we're looking into. We hope to have a patch coming soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!
@last kettle Thanks!
steam
Alright, we'll look into this. Thanks for your patience!
Hey, I'd been playing Hades on Switch for around 2 hours, was down in Asphodel, around a room or two before the Bone Hydra. I'd gotten a Poseidon boon but as soon as he finished talking and it went to show me my options, the game crashed.
I haven't had any trouble loading my save (though it has gone back to before the run happened) so it's not the save issue, I don't think. Just wanted to check if this was a known issue?
@slender crane Hey, sorry about that. This is a known issue on the Switch. We're working on a patch right now that should fix it, which we'll release as soon as possible. In the meantime, a potential workaround is to put at least one rank into every Mirror of Night talent you have unlocked. This could help prevent this crash from happening in the future.
I see. I was actually aware of that issue and I'd already done that as a precaution. I've got 40% on Shadow Presence, Max Chthonic vitality, 1 death defiance, and max greater reflex. I don't have the keys currently to unlock the next talents.
It's possible you encountered an audio crash or another of the freezes that are currently still an issue on PC/Mac - I know at least one of them is from our audio middleware so could probably also occur on Switch
It should be a one-off, though if it continues to happen under the same circumstances an engineer may want to get with you and get some more info
If it happens again, I'll speak up so I can hand over details to make it reproducible, I hadn't had any problems up until now. Thanks! It's a fantastic game, one crash can't really sour the experience, haha.
@sweet eagle I threw away a few runs on your save file and was able to unlock the Aspect just by talking to Zeus a few more times. I think it'll unlock naturally for you in a couple more runs. 
@harsh patio If I can't figure it out an engineer will get with you later, but wanted to double check that you've already tried the steps in #h1-tech-fixes regarding saving
In particular, if you only have Windows Defender and don't have a third-party antivirus (Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, Norton, etc), you'll have access to something called "Controlled folder access", which should be turned off for Hades: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4046851/windows-10-allow-blocked-app-windows-security
OneDrive sync can also interfere with the game's ability to save, as can a faulty or out of sync computer clock/calendar
Hello - loving Hades! Have ran into a few bugs on the switch though. How should I report those? E.g. Stubborn Roots boon doesn’t recover any life
@untold creek Think I just read the boon description incorrectly actually - I thought Stubborn Roots was taking away Death Defiance and adding in the heal over time, rather than only applying after the Death Defiance is utilized. My bad!
Edit: deleted and posted in appropriate channel
Hey there, feedback is best posted in #hades-feedback - we read and consider everything that's shared there, and having it all in one channel helps us keep track of things. There's a pinned post there with rules for posting and instructions for joining the channel!
The gift from Demeter is not fully translated into Russian description.
P.s Otherwise, this game is infinitely great. The only bug found.
Thanks for the report! I'll log that. You can also report issues like this in-game using F10 if you're on Windows!
@sharp narwhal thank you so much

On Switch, when I encounter Eurydice no music plays. The captions display the lyrics for the song, and I can hear the ambient sound effects of the environment, but no signing. Issue persisted across multiple runs. Is this a known issue?
If you quit out of the game while you're in the Eurydice chamber (it should be safe to quit) and load back in, does the music play?
Quit out entirely, I should say - close the software
i been playing for 6 days on my 50th run on switch without issue then once my "god mode" resistance hit 68% the file started crashing on loading.
@snow tartan You never experienced a crash before that?
no
@snow tartan your game crash when you load the save Data?
Alright - we're working on a patch that should improve recovery of corrupted saves in general, which should be out soon. I don't know much about Switch but will ask someone who does to see if we can get any data/logs from you
I seem to have broken the mirror 😄
ya the ame loads but when i try to load the save it crashes out
@indigo niche It looks like you have Routine Inspection active in the Pact of Punishment
@snow tartan same as me
@sharp narwhal I've adjusted my antivirus and swapped over to Windows Defender and It seems to have fixed the issue.
Hello , where do i report a bug?
Here is fine, or if you're playing on PC you can use
(in-game bug reporter)
i did report it using the f10
but since i am here , i am playing on PC indeed, today i was playing for several houres , unlocking 2 hidden aspects , but when i closed the game and opened it again , both aspects were ReLocked , i can buy them again but it is as if i didnt buy them in the first place and all the titan blood is gone !!
Is it possible that you have some sort of cloud software that might have reverted your save file (e.g. OneDrive / google drive etc.)?
no cloud software whatsoever , plus , the titanblood is gone , so it hasnt reverted
it is just both aspects are locked again !!
well, it is not that they are locked , i can buy them again , but it is like i havnt bought them in the first place !! but they are able to be unlocked if i had the titanblood !
which i allready apent unlocking them a few houres ago !
Well, I don't have a workaround for this. If you check the Pact, are those bounties reset (as in, not-unlocked?)
I can take a look at your save here and see if anything seems off
lemme understand ur question better , are you asking me if the previous escape attemts are logged?
the checkmarks for the specal boss loot
ah yes , they are logged as done
OK, I was curious to see if the game had stopped saving before you started collecting more titan blood
just to be in the safe side , is there a record i can check for each escape attempt done in which weapon , cos i believe i tried one of them aspects before i turned the game off
You can see the highest heat clear (per weapon) on the Pact screen. You'll need to unlock the Administrative Chamber to see more detailed records
yes . the logs show aspect of hera as one of my last attempts , which is one of the two hidden aspects relocked now
that and the railgun hidden aspect
i checked it in the log room , i believe it is called the record room
yes , the administrative room , exactly
no , it is aspect of rama i think .
donno if it is shown or not now
i think it might not have saved the last run when i closed the game to be honest
but the weapons are unlockable , they just show they havnt been bought !!
And to be clear, you unlocked these aspects far prior to your last run?
The exagryph should reload any time you hit R on the switch, right? Haven’t been able to get to reload manually yet
It's on clicking down on the right-stick, not the R button. Sorry about the confusion there
Oo thank you!
@thick lava i unlocked both aspects in one run several houres earlier , i even played with one of them in an escape attempt but didnt go far , i closed down the game and when i launched it again , they show they are buyable , i mean , unlocked but u have to buy them !! but the titan blood i spent on buying them is gone !!
Wait! I'm having exactly the same issue!
Got it, thanks. Sounds like a bug -- we'll look at it
I just jumped in here to figure out how to sort it
@thick lava thanks m8 , i really spent some good time on today to unlock and buy them 😦
Hi! i cant save the game, i try it all the recomendations that appears on the game. Anyone know what i have to do?
@thick lava I haven't been able to bug report properly - I'd like to get you guys my game files to help figure things out, but I'm not seeing anything when I press f10. This is on a 2017 macbook pro running mojave. Is this something you guys have seen before?
(I couldn't find anything online)
@wet ridge Hey sorry about this, F10 doesn't work on macOS right now. Best way for you to send us your files is to email to support@supergiantgames.com
@glass valley There's a couple other things you should try in #h1-tech-fixes (in particular, disabling OneDrive or other cloud software, and checking your antivirus settings)
Okey, thank @thick lava
Sorry - last question, @thick lava - which files exactly should I send?
Mostly likely your Hades.log file, which is in ~/Library/Application Support/Supergiant Games/Hades and your system information .spx file (spotlight > System Information > File > Save)
Thank you! We appreciate you guys being here to help out through the weekend!
hello i just got a nasty bug which i reported already and i can't load my save anymore, but the last backup was when i only had 1 attempt
i've put my name and email on the report so do i just wait for an email
@olive oxide Do you have OneDrive installed or antivirus interfering with the save folder? I would try the steps in #h1-tech-fixes
i don't have onedrive installed but i do have avast antivirus
not sure if that's the problem though since i have 33 attempts so far and been playing for a week now without any issues
I would make sure there's an exclusion for Hades in avast, just in case
i've uninstalled avast, restarted, and the problem seems to still exist
the bug report seems to indicate a script crash with RunManager.lua, so maybe all i can do now is wait?
In that case, yeah. If you haven't submitted the report, would be helpful to us
yep i've done that already, ah well
other people seem to have had the same problem where they get stuck on a black screen after dying
could be an entirely different bug still though 😦
@olive oxide is it "RunManager.lua:3788 attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'investment' (a nil value)"?
hello, yes that's exactly it
You're on an outdated version of the game - 1.35966, probably. Update through the game's launcher and the bug should be fixed
oh yes that's my current version thank you!
Any updates on the Nintendo Switch save bug?
We're still working on getting the patch ready, though we believe you will be able to continue your save once the fix is live
Awesome! Any ETA on when the patch will go live?
Can't say yet, though we hope it will be pretty soon. It takes awhile for these things to clear
I see. Thanks for the information and for the great communication though! I'm looking forward to when the issue clears up and I can get right back into my old save
Are there any updates on the screen freezing issue on mac's with intel irs pro graphics cards?
hi there! I had some issues with the achievements and the report bug (f10) today. I collected all the Keepsakes but the achievement on Steam didn't count. I attempted to login again a few times in the game and gave a quick test, but still nothing with the achievement and when I tried to acess the Report Bug, my game just crashed. Nothing was lost but everytime I press f10 the game crashes
It's not fixed yet, though we have someone on the team now who can reproduce it now.
@waxen cove are you playing on mac? F10 doesn't work on mac yet
@thick lava nope! WIndows 10
hey not to be a bother but is there a way to stop music and sfx from playing while alt tabbed
i dont see one in the settings
Cool. Appreciate the communication.
@magic matrix Try running with /RequireFocusToUpdate=true
@waxen cove Can you PM me your save file? I want to check that you've met all the requirements
in here?
Yep!
Any ideas when it comes to older cloud saves on Epic not appearing in the newest install of the game?
I've tried copy-pasting the local save data from another computer that I originally played on, but can't seem to get my original save file back
Have you enabled epic online services in the settings menu?
I did, it gives me an error everytime I try to toggle it that it's not working
it sometimes works, I quit and restart, but still nothing :\
Is there any way to recover an old Epic Games save? I'm not sure where it disappeared to
@livid gorge When you say "older cloud saves", do you mean before 1.0?
@thick lava Yes sure! Give me just a sec to locate the file!
Looking for support, I have tried everything in the game (so I think) and I still can't get access to my Codex
@dusty steeple If you make a lot of progress very early in the game, it's possible for the Codex conversation with Achilles to get pushed back by narrative progression. Try throwing away 3-4 runs by dying in Tartarus and it should come up before long.
Okay thank you very much Ellis
Hi! I was wondering if it was possible to use my Xbox One controller whilst playing on my Macbook?
@golden moat You should be able to, yes, though there is a known issue where the game may crash if you disconnect the controller while the game is active, which we're investigating.
For some reason it's not registering that there is a controller. I plugged in my mouse and for some reason the left click had to be a double click for it to work.
anyone an idea why npc's don't wanna talk about their hidden weapon aspects? Zeus and Artemis just don't seem to care
@golden moat Are you on Steam or Epic?
This is technically the best channel for this, despite this being an issue I learned to fix, rather than an issue I still have.
I was having fps issues with Hades, and nothing in the fps section of #h1-tech-fixes worked.
The fix is simply to go to the computer's settings, then search graphics settings. There, you can choose apps to edit. Use the "browse" thing and find the Hades in steam > steamapps > common > Hades > 64x (not sure what happens when you use the 86x), then Chose the exe in that folder. Set it to "High Performance". The fps issues were fixed the next time I started the game.
Since this isn't already in #h1-tech-fixes, I figured this would be useful to report.
If it matters, I'm using Windows 10 and have a Nvidia graphics card.
@carmine tendon If you submit a report with F10 with your discord tag attached I can take a look
Epic @sharp narwhal
@golden moat Try this:
· Select 'Settings'
· Scroll down to Hades under 'Manage Games' and select it
· Select 'Additional Command Line Arguments'
· Enter the following: /UseNativeGaInput=true /UseNativeGaInputNoControllers=false
@carmine tendon If you submit a report with F10 with your discord tag attached I can take a look
@sharp narwhal in the name section of the report or the description
Doesn't matter, I'll be able to search it either way! Just somewhere in the body
aighty, ty
Hi @sharp narwhal, the double click issue has been fixed but the controller still doesn't work. It works on my PC though so I'm not sure.
Alright @golden moat could you message me a copy of your system information (Spotlight search > System Information > File > Save > report.spx)? I'll log your report and we'll see if we can reproduce it. I assume it's a wireless controller?
Why can I only run the game once per day? As in I play with no issues when I start my pc, close the game and do something else for a while and when I try and open it again I'm greeted by a black screen and crash
Restarting pc let's me play again
Never seen this kind of issue in any other game
@half leaf When it crashes, is it prompting a bug report window?
i got a back up of my old saved game on google drive but i cant recover my old save
i dont want to restart from the beginning
@sharp narwhal No, just says that the program is not responding
There are some launch options in #h1-tech-fixes you can try that may help stabilize it, though let me know if they don't help
@terse violet Is the old file on your google drive not the same as your old save? Are you just not sure where to put it so you can load it back up?
i put my old files in C:\Users'users'\Saved Games\Hades
Are there any documentation on what each launch option does? I don't want any negative impact on visuals or such
When youtube 60 fps is playing on my second screen, hades fps limits to 60 fps, which makes it really stuttery for my 75 hertz screen
I got hades for switch, I have about 25 runs done and at the end of one of my runs instead of taking me back to the start I got the message "the software closed because an error occured". I tried restarting the system and got the same error message. I tried turning on god mode and that got me back in, but only for one run and then when I died I got the same error message. I really do not want to have to erase my save file. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix I can do?
I also checked for corrupted data and it came back clean
@sharp narwhal should i expect any progress on the f10 report soonish? or a few days
@terse violet The directory is C:\Users\Documents\Saved Games\Hades
that what i did @sharp narwhal
@carmine tendon Working on some FAQ updating right now and bouncing back and forth between that and this, but will definitely get to your report in the next 20 or 30 minutes, whenever I finish this up!
dang, das fast. Thx for the info 
@surreal musk Report that in-game with F10 please!
@sharp narwhal sorry i think thats gonna work
@exotic fern Yes, we're aware of issues with Switch saves becoming corrupted due to an issue with the Mirror, we hope to have it fixed in an upcoming patch but can't say when it will be out. Hopefully soon! It should restore your save
ok so just wait for the patch and the save should work again when it is out?
Yes
cool thanks, I will just get my fill of hades watching it on twitch in the meantime I suppose 🙂 Beautiful and super fun game btw!
Hi! I'm playing the switch version. Is this the right channel where I can post a couple of bugs i found?
So basically I'm at my 10th attempt and, upgraded the mirror and unlocked an additional slot for it. when I try to upgrade "stygian soul" to rank 2, the game crashes.
@idle flume Yes, that's a known issue that we're working on a fix for and hope to have patched soon. Keeping at least one rank in every available talent in the Mirror should prevent you from crashing for now!
Ffs. @sharp narwhal I didn't see that I had to accept the use of the controller in my preferences. The pop up was behind my browser. Thanks for all the help!
Yes, same issue and same "fix" @idle flume
@golden moat Good to know, thank you, I'll keep it in mind in case someone else has the same issue!
@sharp narwhal can i add a "problem" to a report i've made? ||just noticed that ares and his 10k kills didn't appear on the fated list, even though i have ares at full nectar and about 15k kills on my save||
welp
i had to restore my onedrive folder because for some reason all my files got deleted when i had it in my recycle bin
and now that ive restored it, my onedrive hades folder came back
and deleted my 10 hour save file
@carmine tendon This shouldn't be the case but it looks like you need to invest more blood in the Bow, at least. Still checking the other two things
Hey just a quick question, I had lost all my data a couple days ago and tried to recover it (and failed to). So I decided to restart and cut my losses, but do we know the source of the problem to prevent it from happening again?
@quick reef On Switch?
PC, Steam
After a crash, or it just disappeared?
No crash
@carmine tendon For Zeus, you're missing a conversation with him. Try doing more runs with the gun.
@quick reef I don't know what would have affected it, then - saves are stored locally in your Documents, so anything going on with your drive or your machine could have affected them, if you reformatted or deleted a bunch of files. We haven't done anything that would've affected your saves and there aren't any bugs that delete save data, though crashes can sometimes revert it. If you have any sort of sync set up, that can also revert data
Well what was super weird is everything got wiped except for my back up save file from 3 months ago, and nothing else in between
@carmine tendon Yes, it should come up for you soon
Okayy, thanks a lot 
does the steam cloud have a copy of my save file possibly
@worthy terrace Possibly, yes - looks like you can download cloud saves in your browser, https://www.howtogeek.com/428491/how-to-download-your-save-games-from-steam-cloud/
when my files got wiped so did my steam cloud files @worthy terrace but you can check
@worthy terrace Dexter should be on in another hour or so and may be able to help you troubleshoot some more.
so when i deleted the onedrive folder version of hades
the real one also poofed
thats why it isnt reading files
and hades never got backed up on steam cloud
welp
oops
why does onedrive mess with this game so much
and not any other game
Probably because we save in Documents (which OneDrive loves to sync) instead of creating a folder in, like, AppData or keeping saves in the game's install folder
Not sure about narrative flags, but you could see if the Hades modding server folks know anything about that
hey guys,
So i was playing Hades daily about 6 months ago, and i haven't really played it much due to being busy. So i went to check out the 1.0 update, and when I try to play it the game loads up, and i can hear it, but I cant see it. Do you guys know any way to fix this? I'm assuming its resolution related, but nothing has changed on my end since I played it last. Thanks for your time!
-Cranch
@meager ibex There are a bunch of launch commands you can try in #h1-tech-fixes , might also be worth going to \Documents\Saved Games\Hades and renaming the Profile1.sjson file to cause the game to reset to default settings and see if that fixes it
hey everyone! I just started playing the game and it's stating that it cannot save. I am having troubles locating the files its listing. Is there any help with this?
Hi, Since I had an update to the game yesterday my game won't launch 9/10 times. It becomes unresponsive. I tried all troubleshooting steps listed on the Hades Technical Support FAQ from Sep 25, 2020
I have a DxDiag file I can DM
@little falcon As in, you don't have a \Documents\Saved Games\Hades or ~/Library/Application Support/Supergiant Games/Hades directory?
There was an update with my Windows and anti virus...that might be the issue
@brisk rose Yes, can you message me your DxDiag and also the Hades.log file from \Documents\Saved Games\Hades?
Hi! My game (I’m on switch) won’t play any singing (either character that sings). Otherwise it’s fine, all the voice lines work and the music works, it’s just that none of the vocal songs have the vocal aspects to them. My sound settings are all up, so I’m not quite sure what’s wrong. I’d love to hear the singing, the songs themselves are beautiful 🙃
@plain spoke If you close out of the software fully and boot it back up, does it restore the vocals?
I just restarted it, no one is supposed to be singing so I’ll let you know the next time there should be singing
Any idea why Daedalus Hammer as well as Chaos isn't showing in my Codex?
Also, the only artifact it shows for me is the diamond
okay so now that ive accepted my file is gone
i cant get rid of my hades folder in the onedrive folder
and i cant get rid of the one drive folder
or it deletes everything on my computer
if i delete the onedrive hades, the real hades disappears too which is why my save doesnt exist anymore
@dusty steeple There are a couple pages to the Artifacts category, you don't see them if you check both sections?
@worthy terrace Litvac posted a step by step for unhooking OneDrive, did you try that out?
https://discordapp.com/channels/456889434672201729/520430049003044864/759079967840534588
how do i disconnect the documents folder?
@sharp narwhal yes! I was playing at the very first time it was able to be played for the public, so much before 1.0
@livid gorge Alright, cloud saving wasn't available for Epic prior to 1.0, so there wouldn't be any saves in the cloud before that - you would've needed to upload them beginning with the 1.0 release. The local saves you have from that other computer are probably your best bet if your other saves were lost at some point.
ok - once those are brought in would it be able to transfer over to the cloud from there?
Yep!
thanks!
@earnest wasp How do you unhook Documents from OneDrive, is it just disabling OneDrive sync?
Uhhhh I’m away from my computer right now but let me see if I can find a guide or something
You had success with this so I trust your word more than whatever random thing I find online 😅
is there a bug reports channel? I found a minor text display bug
I'm on switch :)
Ohhhh
You might want to send it to support@supergiantgames.com then
You can take a screenshot on Switch and upload it to your computer via your microUSB
@frosty tiger If it's the font looking kind of monospaced and computery, we're aware of that bug and investigating - no need to report!
Okey doke. just figured I'd try here (discord) first.
@Ellis, you mean like this?
Yep like that haha
Hey, I'm having sort of a reoccuring issue. The game often stops between rooms to tell me I'm unable to save cause of something. I follow the instructions and manage to keep playing the game for a bit by changing a folder option, but after a while, the folder goes back to its previous setting and causes the can't save problem again. Any way to prevent it from reverting back to the old option?
ok, cool, thanks!! obviously pretty minor too.
@willow kettle Do you have a third party antivirus software, or only Windows Defender?
As far as I know, only windows security.
Gotcha. Try disabling controlled folder access: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4046851/windows-10-allow-blocked-app-windows-security
Thank you. I'll see if the issue stops.
Go to documents/saved games/ and click hades folder with right click
There should be option to keep files always offline
Imo, it should be enough so one drive will works fine
Always keep on this device
Then wait a bit, One Drive will process it / Download files of it uploaded it previously. And try load game
Others games doesn't save to documents, there is a lot of games which holds saves in the same directory or in %appdata%
what do i do about the second hades folder in onedrive
i still cant delete it
without it getting rid of the og folder
and the game still doesnt save
You need to totally disable OneDrive sync on the /Documents/Saved Games/Hades folder
@worthy terrace what folder are you trying to delete?
In the dialog box you posted earlier, did it not allow you to deselect Documents?
Clicking OK does nothing?
yep
doing this also does nothing
it just deleted my saved games folder for my whole pc
so now i have to reinstall my game again
You don't need to reinstall to recreate the saved games folder
So looking at your most recent screenshot, sync should be disabled now on that folder. I'm guessing you want to keep your existing saves
Even if you log in in a browser? https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/signin/
yeah
In that screenshot it says there's 75KB
hold on ill check it rq
yeah my save is long gone
that file doesnt contain it
i deleted the onedrive version of the folder that had all my progress on it and for some reason it decided to take the original folder with it
so my save is fully gone
my game can save now though
Are these achievements broken rn?
Is there a keepsake I'm missing?
Yeah, I'm sorry this was such a hassle. So long as OneDrive's disabled now, you shouldn't have further issues saving
@flint summit You aren't missing anything, I've seen another report of this today
Has anyone else on switch had issues with the x/y/a/b or dpad on joycons/pro controller not working properly? Mine will sometimes hold the buttons (like with shield bull rush if I hold a button and release it just doesn't ever register I released) or the game just stops responding to button presses. At first I thought it was a controller or connection issue but it doesn't seem to be happening with other games. Disconnecting and reconnecting the controllers sometimes works but not always
Occasionally movement with the left joystick is also weird but not as consistently, like I'll keep running in the same direction even if I change the direction I'm pointing the joystick
Should Chaos pacts which stop me from earning gold also stop me from receiving gold when selling a boon in a post-boss chamber?
feels a bit harsh
@normal cliff Hey, sorry about this. We've heard a few reports of this happening and are looking into the cause.
@gritty ibex Thanks, this is a good thing for #hades-feedback. We read through everything in there
@thick lava Right, sorry - do I get permission to post there at some time after joining the server? Haven't found any info on that in the welcome text
Check the pinned message in that channel -- it will explain how to get permission to write in there
I'm experiencing a bug I haven't found other reports of. Will report via F10, but checking if there's a known solution: ||I can't pet Cerberus anymore. I'm on my first save, 35 runs total and 1 clear. Sometime before the 20th run, the command to pet Cerberus stopped doing anything. All three commands show up (Talk, Pet, Feed Nectar) when standing next to him, but the Pet command never registers.||
@thin lintel Yes, please
this. Definitely make sure you're on the latest hotfix too (1.36076 )
thanks
@sharp narwhal restarting worked. I could’ve sworn I had done that before but I guess not. Thanks! The music is even more gorgeous now!
hey so I asked earlier about the switch bug that comes up where you get the error message "the software closed because and error occured" and was told it was a known issue and a patch is in the works but not sure when it is going to be released. I was going to wait for the patch but I just really like the playing the game so much that I was considering starting a new file while waiting for the patch to come out. 2 questions, 1. Do you know if the patch something is likely days/weeks/or months away just to get
a rough estimate. 2. If I start a new file on my switch is there something I can do to avoid the error coming up again? Like I heard it was due to the mirror, so maybe don't upgrade something specific? or don't max out a certain category or something?
@sharp narwhal Sorry for the ping, but, the problem with the save issues is back still.
@exotic fern 1.) No ETA yet on the patch, though it will be soon (certainly won't take months) 2.) Yes, we recommend upgrading the Mirror evenly (putting one point in each talent before unlocking more with keys)
@willow kettle Not sure all the steps you went through, but want to make sure you don't have any cloud software that's syncing /Documents/Saved Games/Hades
for part 2 of my question does that mean if I put one point in each category before unlocking more catergories with keys, then after that I can upgrade however I like and it should theoretically be ok
In theory, yes. We know the incidence is a lot higher when people dive deep into the tree early
ok cool thanks for the help, makes sense as one of the first things I did was collect keys and unlock the mirror categories over everything else. Also congrats on such a beautiful and fun game, you guys deserve all the credit, success and attention you are getting from this game, it is a ton of fun and really well made kuddos!
How would I locate or check for cloud software?
OneDrive comes preinstalled on Windows 10, and a lot of the time it interferes with Hades. Google Drive / Dropbox can as well, if you've configured them to sync the Documents folder
Hey, my laptop just bluescreened and restarted while I was in the House of Hades, and when I went back into the game after restarting, my save file had lost like a week of progress (and considering its after 1.0 thats been a Lot of progress). I know that my local save file has been updating consistently because frequently when I have opened the game lately I have to select that I want to use the local file over the cloud file because its more recent, but even the cloud file I know for a fact has updated much more recently than what it just reverted me to. Does anyone know how to possibly fix this short of grinding the last 20 hours of progress again?
Are you playing on Steam or Epic?
Epic
Have you tried loading the .bak saves in /Documents/Saved Games/Hades ? Or the Profile1_Temp rename trick in #h1-tech-fixes ?
I have not I just panicked and came here. I will try those and let you know, thanks for getting back to me!
Definitely copy anything you have in the saved games folder somewhere else before you make any changes too
I'm new here. Is this normal behavior?
@Dexter Loading the temp save as suggested in #h1-tech-fixes worked! Sorry for bothering you with something already detailed elsewhere, but thank you so much for your help! Yall are the best <3<3<3<3!
@karmic cobalt Are you throwing a trippy shot there? That seems OK to me, but hard to tell from a screenshot
or wait, is the cast invisible?
yeah it is throwing the trippy shot but the character snapped to that angle
Are you permanently stuck in that position?
i was during that animation, but have since died 🙂
Hmm, well that's definitely not normal. If you run into it again, feel free to
it (though make sure you're on the latest build, just in case this gets scooped up in the next hotfix)
thanks for the advice! absolutely loving this game
hey i was at 32% and 25/26% but the success didn't pop do i need to do something else? i did f10 that but wanted to be sure
I have a video of a bug (didn't realize what was happening at the time, took a Shadowplay recording at the last second) but I couldn't attach it in the F10 bug menu, is there somewhere in here I can post it?
Purged a Heroic Boon in the post-boss fountain but didn't get any Obol or the achievement
@frosty tiger No, that should be all you need to do - we'll investigate!
@edgy viper Did you have a Chaos curse active where you couldn't receive any money?
(The achievement being a separate issue that I'll note)
Not to my knowledge, no. I don't think I'd come across them yet them at that point (the video was from yesterday)
You can probably upload it here as long as it's under Discord's attachment limit, or post the link - streamable is a service a lot of people use
Whoops
Alright that one's on me but presumably that shouldn't have impacted the achievement?
Yeah, it shouldn't have affected the achievement
We've heard it triggers incorrectly on purging duos, so might just be a data error
Thanks for the support! Game is top-notch in every way.
Glad you're enjoying it!!
@frosty tiger Sorry about that! There are steps to recover progress in #h1-tech-fixes
ty
@normal cliff Hey, sorry about this. We've heard a few reports of this happening and are looking into the cause.
@thick lava Thank you for looking into it!
Do I put my bug reports here for the Switch version of the game?
Sure, what's the problem?
Is this spoiler free room as well?
Yes, you can post spoilers here
So the skulls hades shoots out in the last fight, when they explode have a green ring animation that expands, but in my last fight a couple of them didnt have the ring
I was still damaged though
Not sure if thats a bug or a heat addition?
I think it's a bug, or at least not working entirely as intended - we've heard reports of that from other Switch players and we're investigating now
👍
Another small bug/lag issue, doesn't happen all the time, but when selecting weapons on the Switch, the game will momentarily freeze if you switch weapons
Yeah, that happens on PC/Mac too, it has to do with loading all the weapon models
How does one gain permission to post in #hades-feedback ? (thank you Ellis for the reply) I'm in a run right now and deflect collision detection is very bugged with the bow's 4th aspect. Specifically, the Attack is passing right through deflectables such as witches' cluster shots, whereas the Special is able to deflect them (I have both Divine Strike and Divine Flourish).
@spark rune There's a pinned post in the channel with guidelines and instructions to join.
I found a game breaking softlock in the switch port I'll try my best to describe. During the event where Achilles grants you permission to enter Hades personal chamber if you instead start Dusa's final affinity event which teleports you to your room when you get sent back to the main hall all exits become inaccessible. Resetting the game won't fix it because the game saves in the screen transition between your room and the main hall so the save becomes unusable
If there's anything I could have worded better or if you have any questions just about the bug let me know
I just installed the game and all enemies seemed to have invisible idle animations and I submitted an in game bug report. Wanted to put here for reference that afterwards I told steam to verify integrity of game files and that seemed to fix it
So if anyone else gets that problem that fixed it for me
@flat patio hey, thanks for letting us know what fixed it!
@pale dew Sorry you have experienced this, we are aware of this issue and are working on a fix, it should be in the next patch on that platform
No problem at all love the game and thank you guys for all the hard work
Not sure whats causing it, but I just finished a run (heat 0) on the switch to completion, and the game crashed after the death cutscene, but before returning to base. Tried reloading the same save twice, but it keeps crashing before loading into the base.
I have 13 hours in the game and have reached hades 2 times but for some reason i still have no ability to use my titan blood to upgrade my weapons . any reason that option wouldnt show up for me ?
@red vigil you need to unlock all of the weapons
@languid pebble sorry to hear that, we are working on a patch for that issue which we hope will allow you to recover your svae
Not sure if related, but during the fight whenever Hades would start using his laser attack, he would stop (so it would never come out). I thought it was because I was using the charm boon (even though it didn't proc during those moments), but I didn't really think anything of it during the fight.
he might've been briefly charmed, and it's possible the effect didn't show?
thank you @stray elm
sure thing!
my achievements and play time are still bugged. i bought the game after early access, and i'd like to track my play time. any fixes?
basically, if i look at the game on steam, it says i have 0/49 achievments and 5 minutes play time
i've done ~115 runs
@halcyon ermine sorry to hear that, are you running the game from the Steam client as normal? or are you running Hades.exe directly?
Steam client
do you know if Steam is tracking time played in other games for you now? it should be automatic on the Steam side
Yeah it's just Hades as far as I can tell
and while you're playing Hades if you use Shift+Tab does the Steam overlay come up?
Haven't tried that, probably will in the morning
thanks try that, and also try running Steam as Admin and disabling any AntiVirus software you may have
I've noticed the same thing as Kuroui for Hades
Except on PC, and from Hades himself when he starts phase 2
I think it had something to do with the chill debuff. It seems like the ring still goes out but has no color to it?
Skulls seem to inhibit similar behavior
@nova vortex hey, thanks for the report, does it happen every time in that fight or only when you have the chil debuff? Could you hit F10 during a combat where you notice this behavior and submit a bug report? That way we can test using your save game and make our investigation easier
To my memory, only when Hades/skulls have the debuff. I would have to try again. I am not sure if it has to do with a specific stack.
It's happened on two runs so far, so I might be able to reproduce it if I take chill into it and my hunch is correct.
I will see if I can make it happen tomorrow and report it proper if it does.
awesome, thanks!
hey my hades crashes everytime i try to open in both x64 x86 and as admin
hey @crude pond there are a number of possible solutions in #h1-tech-fixes if you haven't tried them yet. does it open a bug report Window to submit?
yes it does
if you submit a report and include your Discord name here we can look it up and see what the specific problem may be but it's likely the steps in #h1-tech-fixes will resolve it
thanks I see it. it looks like you're not updated to the latest version of Hades. please connect to Steam or Epic to download the latest version
ah will do been playing in offline mode
is there any sort of fix to hades where my game will occasionally freeze at random times for about 5 or so seconds then resume? ive tried some of the tricks in faq but nothing is seeming to work i might try and uninstal/reinstall but am unsure how to save my file
@frosty tiger are you playing an a Mac?
playing on pc currently
You won't lose your save files if you uninstall and reinstall the game 🙂 But first, I suggest you try verifying game files in Epic/Steam, that should be faster than reinstalling. Did you experience these freezes since you started playing or did it work fine for a while and then they started happening?
i believe these have been happening since i started playing the game
i just had the weirdest thing happen
i stood around in the main hall of the house doing nothing for a while, and then went to zag's room
instead of the normal screen transition, somehow it played the transition between asphodel and elysium, including the sound effects, except this time there was no little tracker thing with a dotted line going up, just the sound
and then the screen transitioned to zag's room normally
never seen that before
@lofty vault can you report that in-game with
?
playing on mac, never had to use the function keys for anything before since they all do different things on mac
the top row technically is still the function keys but they all do something else by default like changing the volume or all that and i've never had to actually use the function keys as function keys lmao
one of the devs might ask you to manually send in your save file or logs, might want to save a copy of those in another folder
Finder’s Go > Go To Folder menu and navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Supergiant Games/Hades
is \\AQUARIUS\share\Minos\LatestSaves the folder
it's empty
the only other file in the hades folder is just the Game.macOS file
literally says zero kb lmao
i mean it's a minor bug anyway it didn't actually affect anything
it was rather strange but that was all
sure
eh i found it
is it Profile1_Temp.sav or the .sav.bak file
should i duplicate both?
or one or the other
all of the .sav files
every single one? okay
i guess i'll put them all in a separate folder off to the side somewhere
yeah
there aren't that many?
and they might not even need them, this is just a guess. if they don't, or after you send them, you can always clear the duplicates
aight i got Profile1_Temp.sav, Profile1.sav, Profile1.v.sav and a bunch of Run 1 somethingsomething.sav files
wait, what?
you said all the .sav files and those are all the .sav files i had in that folder
uhh
i take it it isn't supposed to look like this
ah so you also want the .bak ones
