nimble scroll
what is the difference in launch options?
stray elm
any specific ones you're curious about?
nimble scroll
im just wondering what each of them are, i hadnt noticed that there were multiple until now
stray elm
Ah, yup. Most of them just change certain settings that aren't accessible through the in-game menu
nimble scroll
would you be able to summarize what each of them do? if you dont want to thats fine
stray elm
I'll summarize the ones that I know, sure
nimble scroll
cool, thanks
stray elm
/SaveToTempAndMove=true
Pretty sure this one tells the game to handle autosaving differently, in a way that automatic security programs are less likely to worry about
/alternatesavemount
This one's pretty literal, it just moves your save location
/DrawBlendMax=8 /DrawLights=false
These reduce certain ambient effects to improve performance
There are some other ones listed in fixes that I don't really know what they do, as well as several launch options that aren't listed in there
nimble scroll
okay, thats weird i only have three but none of the ones you listed show up
stray elm
what do you have?
OH!
I think I see what you mean, apologies
You're referring to default, vulkan, and 32-bit, yeah?
nimble scroll
haha sorry, i dont know much about this so i think i may have explained it incorrectly. yes those are the one's i was talking about
stray elm
no worries--launch options is the term for commands you can set before launching that change settings. Lemme grab the summary about what you asked
nimble scroll
okay cool, thanks again
stray elm
DirectX and Vulkan are two different modes of processing graphics
32 bit refers to a version of Hades that uses less memory
Vulkan may work better on some setups, DirectX will work better on others
nimble scroll
okay, is there anyway i would be able to tell which to use for mine?
stray elm
theoretically you could do some research, but I'd just go with default unless you're having performance issues
you could also just try both
nimble scroll
alright ill just use default for now, i was just curious because it never prompted me to choose before, it would just open. They only affect graphics and the speed of the game right?
stray elm
it's a relatively new feature they added, and yeah they should only affect that
nimble scroll
alright, thanks for helping me out
stray elm
sure thing 
stray elm
What kind of not working?
warped field
When I launch it I hear the music and everything
But i can’t see the game
And when I click the game icon from the taskbar nothing happens
stray elm
Steam or Epic, and PC or Mac?
warped field
Steam PC
stray elm
alright--could you try this:
On Steam:
· Right-click on Hades in your Steam Library
· Select 'Properties...'
· Press the button that says 'Set Launch Options...'
· Enter the following:/FullScreen=true
If the game works, it's a fullscreen issue, if it doesn't work, then we have to try something else
stray elm
Sure thing! If you'd prefer the game not be full screen, there are a couple things we could potentially test
stray elm
Aight 
Best of luck!

whats the difference between directx vulkan and 32 bit when launching hades?
stray elm
DirectX and Vulkan are two different modes of processing graphics
32 bit refers to a version of Hades that uses less memory
Vulkan may work better on some setups, DirectX will work better on others
quiet wasp
oh is there any way to know which one works better for me
stray elm
theoretically you could do some research, but I'd just go with default unless you're having performance issues, or you could try both and see which feels better

Sure thing ^.^

Reporting more bugs from switch first bug is the bone hydra will shoot out their bones and they will not appear this actually has happened to me a couple times but this is my screenshot I got of it happening
And then second bug is what happened when reflecting a bomb with Athena dash boon randomly this has only happened to me once
stray elm
Thanks for reporting, @tired surge ! For the first one, do you have a chance to hit them before they disappear? And for the second one, it looks like some weird bouncing against the wall

I tried putting hades into windowed, now I can't get it to come up on the screen. it loads fine, music plays but no game. Have tried restarting and uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing.

@stray elm not sure if I could or not I was sadly only able to quickly get the screenshot because I was focusing more on the boss then the glitch itself

Thank the gods! It worked! Gives nectar

No worries, @tired surge , though feel free to drop a message here if you notice either way again!

Will do! I'll probably be dropping more bug reports here if I find any, because I see many more hours of Hades in my future
crystal summit
In the weapon aspect interface, the values for Aspect of Chiron are backwards for me. Upgrading from lvl 4 to 5 shows 9 -> 7 (and the 7 of course in red), when it should be the other way around. Probably known?
faint jewel
@crystal summit that's not a bug. The default special arrows' count is 9. For Chiron is less, so it will show 9->7 for lvl 4 and 9->8 for level 5, indicating a change
naive current
Hi guys sorry i don't know if i'm on the good channel first let me know you're game is amazing GG to all Supergiant team !
i had a lot of framerate problem on this game, i've check your channel tech fixes and it's better now
i'm on steam and every version game work for me, with default sometimes it was unplayable, with lot of mobs, graffics effects everywhere on the screen the game slow down under 30 fps ez,
with vulkan i haven't many try but the game slow down too.
with 32 bits it's very playable but sometimes i feel everything is slow for a short time, it's not unplayable but disturbing can we do something to this ?
What's the difference between three version ?
thanks for you're answers.
ps: on 32 bits version the first speech bubble acting voice don't work sometimes and sorry for my english 😅
maiden yarrow
Hi, I went in my screenshot folder in my documents but it's completely empty? Does anyone know where to find them or if they're all gone? I didn't use the steam screenshots (F12) but I used the game's (F11)
faint jewel
@maiden yarrow Screenshots from Hades are in C:\Users[your user name here]\Documents\Saved Games\Hades\Screenshots. Did you look there? If yes, then try right-clicking on the Screenshots folder and unchecking "Read-only" attribute to make sure they can be saved there.
maiden yarrow
Ugh "read only" was checked, I unchecked it. Thank you for your help!
EDIT : It recheck "read only" every time automatically. I'll use the steam screenshots instead, it's easier 
faint jewel
Did you try making a screenshot and seeing if it's in the folder? They are saving there for me even though I have "Read only" checked...
maiden yarrow
Yeah I took several screenshots but they never appeared Don't worry though, I'll just use F12 to screenshot 
lethal pawn
I was playing with the gun and got the boon which expand the size of the rocket, so I was using the rocket a lot. But half the time (I think maybe when I was dashing right away, not sure though) the target of the rocket would change. I'm sorry I don't have any record of this, and I don't know if it is a known issue
@magic cairn
I had this setup recently and the exact same thing happened to me! It was the extra range + damage for your special upgrade from a hammer I think, and it had the caveat of you can also take a bit of damage from it.
My special would completely move target location in a direction/position parallel to where I was facing (so to my side), even if it was 70+% of the way down, it made things infuriating in the tiny ||styx|| rooms but also the big final boss room. Thankfully I got some clips but I need to edit them together, I will post them here as soon as I can
Sometimes it did it after I dashed sometimes I was sitting still
pure knot
Is there any update on fixing controller support on Mac? Is there something else I can do? Really frustrated that I can't play the game I bought. I'm using an Xbox controller, would it work better with a PS4 controller? Switch Pro Controller? Should I get a refund and buy it on Switch instead?
stray elm
@maiden yarrow there are some instructions in #h1-tech-fixes about fixing that read-only property, under the section about If the game won't start or read/write save data
@naive current
DirectX and Vulkan are two different modes of processing graphics
32 bit refers to a version of Hades that uses less memory
Vulkan may work better on some setups, DirectX will work better on others
Have you tried any of the other fixes listed?
@lethal pawn Most likely, this was due to the bomb bouncing off of the level geometry—the game is partially 3D, and bombs can bounce off of walls/terrain
@crystal summit if you look at the menu a second time after selecting Chiron it will look like what you'd expect
@pure knot what's the issue you're having?
Ah! I see your previous message
Unfortunately, I don't have any updates with regards to that, but I can ask Ellis when she's next online
She might have some more information

Has anyone here encountered issues with achievements not being recorded and being able to launch the game only directly through binary not thorugh Steam client itself?
pure knot
An SQA person said it was a known issue they were working on, but yeah i haven't heard anything. Just a real big bummer since that is the recommended way to play.
stray elm
@cobalt wyvern What platform are you on? (Steam vs Epic, Mac vs PC)
cobalt wyvern
PC windows 64 bit architecture
stray elm
@haughty knoll What happens when you try to launch the game through Steam?
haughty knoll
@stray elm It's actually my friend who is seeing the issue, let me check with her.
stray elm
Alright—@cobalt wyvern are you using a program called f.lux? It can sometimes cause issues with the mouse showing up
Also, could you try verifying file integrity? It could be that an asset is missing
haughty knoll
@stray elm So the game launches at first and crashes when the save slot is chosen. Error is connected with Vulkan as I now found out. "Connection to the DirectX graphics was lost. (...) try the VULKAN.exe instead." Running VULKAN.exe doesn't help. This may be one of your already known issues but I'm not sure.
vapid lava
Hello, I'm having trouble with the game being stuck on a black screen when going in a corridor in the "Temple of Styx". Does not happen every time only after every couple of runs. Any way to fix it?
stray elm
@vapid lava what platform are you on?
vapid lava
@stray elm Playing on steam
haughty knoll
@stray elm : We'll check the default graphics cards etc. as this may be connected with NVIDIA Optimus.
stray elm
@haughty knoll first thing, could your friend try verifying file integrity? And then there are some steps towards the top of #h1-tech-fixes relating to the game not starting, could they give those a try?
And sounds good
haughty knoll
I hope that these achievements will work if the game doesn't crash. File integrity check was done as the first step of course 😉
Thanks for now and I'll get back to you if the issue is still there.
stray elm
@vapid lava there are some fixes relating to getting black screens in #h1-tech-fixes , and I would also try verifying file integrity.
Does this just happen heading into the Temple, or anywhere else?
tired surge
Here's another bug
lethal pawn
@lethal pawn Most likely, this was due to the bomb bouncing off of the level geometry—the game is partially 3D, and bombs can bounce off of walls/terrain
@stray elm it did not seem consistent with this or how the special behaves with different parameters. Like I said I will provide the footage, ty for your response!
vapid lava
@stray elm Tried the fixes on #h1-tech-fixes but still happens every couple of runs. Was going to send an email to support@supergiantgames.com but figured I'd ask here first.
It only happens when you choose a corridor at the Temple. After going in it freezes and shows the Submit Error window.
stray elm
Hm--when you sent those in, did you include your discord tag or other contact info?
Other than "sounds good", nope, that was to LordRanar ^.^
vapid lava
Yes I put in my Discord name and email address when I submitted the error report in game.
tired surge
Ah, good old frozen Asterius
@stray elm did Asterius get frozen? I meant Theseus's spear floating in a pillar while Theseus still has his spear
I didn't even notice Asterius lol
stray elm
@tired surge oh, I meant Asterius staying in his kneeling position longer than normal, don't know if it's actually a bug, it's just kinda funny. The spear one makes sense though, you probably deflected his spear as he went invulnerable. Good to know ^.^
@vapid lava alright--I don't have a way to look at those, but I'm sure the devs will take a look soon. In the meantime, if you lose your run progress, there are steps towards the end of #h1-tech-fixes to help you recover it
vapid lava
@stray elm I'll just send that email then. Thx for the help.
stray elm
Sounds good! Best of luck ^.^
lethal pawn
@stray elm i looked at the footage more closely and I think you're right that it was just collisions. I guess it's a bit hard to read the height of some environmental objects in the isometric view, sorry for the trouble!
stray elm
No worries! Did his spear come back to him after?
haughty knoll
@stray elm : Now save loads properly with NVIDIA card as the default one so if if achievements prove to be OK, then everything is working. Thanks and bye for now 🙂
stray elm
Awesome! Hope it goes well
faint jewel
The save file is overwritten rather than deleted, so you need to delete the save file in the desired slot and then do a run and save for it to be changed.

nvm i deleted files from the save folder
fast crag
whenever i press command space in game on mac steam edition, the controls get screwed over and it spams " a s" and forces zagreus to walk to the bottom left continuously
stray elm
@fast crag if you use something like command-tab to switch applications and then switch back, does Zagreus continue moving to the bottom left?
stray elm
alright--could you try setting the launch options:
On Steam:
· Right-click on Hades in your Steam Library
· Select 'Properties...'
· Press the button that says 'Set Launch Options...'
· Enter the following: /UseNativeGaInput=true /UseNativeGaInputNoControllers=false
And if you have any controllers connected, try disconnecting them as well

Sweet!

Has anyone reported any bugs for the stubborn roots boon for restoring 1 up every .8 seconds ?
faint jewel
What is the bug you're experiencing?
cobalt crystal
It’s not working in the Styx chambers or the hades fight for me
Although I’ve experienced it working for both of those in the past
Does it conflict with any existing boons that I’m not aware of ?
faint jewel
It shouldn't. It should work when you have no Defiances (Death Defiance of Stubborn Defiance). Do report it in-game with F10 if it's not working as intended.
cobalt crystal
So if you use up the defiance, that’s when it should work ?
stray elm
Yup

AH okay

Hey, I'm sorry, I'm not sure where else to look, but my controller isn't working and I feel like I'm losing my mind trying to get it to do so
I've tried looking it up online, but everything I find just said, "Oh yeah I plugged it in and it worked perfectly, try disabling Steam controller support, and disconnect any other controllers" and as far as I can tell I've done all of those things and the controls settings screen still doesn't show signs of a controller
Oh I guess I should read through Hades tech fixes first whoops one second
Alright, sure enough tech fixes solved my problem, changing the launch settings with /UseNativeGaInput=true /UseNativeGaInputNoControllers=false fixed it, my bad

Hello. Apologies if this is not the right thread. I have this issue with Thanatos. He literally never appears. I have unlocked him, meaning he helped me in Elysium and after that started appearing in the house, but I haven't seen him there in about 15 to 20 runs. Im pretty sure I haven't seen him in my runs as well despite reaching Styx consistently. Im not 100% sure but I think the issues started appearing after the newest patch. Is there anyone with the same experience here? At first I thought Im just unlucky but at this point it seems improbable.

Not to be a bother, but I can't seem to find any word since september about switch/PC crossplay and what it will entail, though it was something that was supposed to be implemented (as of last post, during october). IS this still on the table, delayed a little while, delayed indefinately, what?
Couildn't find anything in the faq or anything further
faint jewel
is the an official forum for requesting features?
@peak orchid There isn't as far as I know and keep in mind that apart from bug fixes and minor tweaks, Hades will not have any new features, as the Devs said themselves, that they put everything they've got into this game. There was a dedicated "Feedback" server which has been closed.
@brazen frost There's no new info about it but they are working on it as have been said in the post from 28 of October in Announcements (#announcements message). AFAIK there was no exact date given or even ETA, so we just need to wait when it's ready.

Experienced what looked to be a bug on Switch, might not be a new one, but nonetheless:
Final boss ||During the Hades fight, I depleted his first health bar near the bottom left of the arena, right next to the body of water - his invulnerability thing before he stops to do his phase change activated, but his movement got stuck for the next ≈5-7 seconds. He was just walking back and forth near the water, and I imagine it's because it couldn't find a suitable space to stop and do the phase change animation?
He didn't get permanently stuck though; I might have knocked him out of it myself by whacking him around with the shield, giving him enough space? At the very least his movement was clearly stuck for a bit.||
stray elm
@scarlet ivy that is a known issue, you can fix it by increasing the in-game volume and decreasing your system volume
@tulip iris Thanks for reporting! If you got a screenshot or video, feel free to drop them here--if not, no worries
tulip iris
Didn't get any such thing unfortunately. Cheers though

I am just curious - did anyone encounter an issue with Theseus ||with Extreme Measures turned on? What I mean is that he did his charge while shooting his cannons through the middle of the arena and... got stuck on Aesterius and me. He just wouldn't budge. I didn't report it in bug tool because i didn't know there was one at the time lol, but i did take a screenshot. Minotaur just did a leap and could move just fine, but Theseus was stuck there untill i destroyed the chariot. I don't think that is supposed to happen

I actually joined the server because i wanted to share, but didn't know where.

· Select 'Additional Command Line Arguments'

@faint jewel Thanks, that was actually precisely what I was looking for. Wasn't like throwing a fit or anything, just my good friend has that specific case (owns it on switch and on PC, but is being mildly hampered by children stealing his switch and not wanting to retrack progress)
Not 'end of the world', and he's not upset, just like 'oh hey, is there some update' which is -precisely- what that contained, will pass along

hello, has anyone got the new xbox core controller and connected it to Windows 10 via bluetooth? I'm having issues with button mappings in the game
the xbox accessories app correctly recognized the controller and updated the firmware, and I checked the button presses there- they were all detected correctly
However, in Hades, for example, the buttons don't correspond to their usual mappings
stray elm
Epic or Steam?
plain panther
Steam
stray elm
are you using Big Picture Mode?
plain panther
no
stray elm
could you give that a try, and check the settings there to make sure Big Picture Mode is seeing the controller correctly?
plain panther
ok, gimme a minute
ok, Steam Big Picture doesn't appear to be capturing the controller input correctly
when I try to use the left stick x-axis, it moves left or right twice instead of once... I'm guessing I'll have to wait for Steam to update
I also tried to setup button mappings in steam (both in big picture and desktop mode) and I can get as far as trying to map the left trigger before it fails... it doesn't detect the left trigger at all
based on that, I'm guessing this is not a Hades problem, but a Steam problem
stray elm
alright, still other things to try
(in or out of big picture)
could you try the launch options: /UseNativeGaInput=true /UseNativeGaInputNoControllers=false
On Steam:
· Right-click on Hades in your Steam Library
· Select 'Properties...'
· Press the button that says 'Set Launch Options...'
plain panther
ok I put in those launch options, but they didn't resolve the issue
I can move around in-game, but for example if I do a 360 rotation of the left stick, while in the weapon room, I get a message above Zagreus saying "Summon Unavailable"
the "B" button opens the codex but none of the buttons closes or exits the codex
plain panther
out of big picture
this has been working fine on my old xbox wired controller
but the new xbox core controller isn't working at all
stray elm
alright--do you have any other games you could test with?
plain panther
I tried Halo, and it doesn't work in there as well- that made me think it's more than likely a Steam problem
stray elm
do you have any non-steam games?
plain panther
I have WoW, but it's not usable with a controller IMO
plain panther
yeah, I think I'm going to wait a couple days for a Steam update and then re-try
thanks for the help anyway!

sure thing! Best of luck

Hello Swan, I tried the fix you mentioned earlier to allow the game to not pause while alt tabbed, but it hasn't worked. Is there anything else I need to do?

that's weird that that's not working...
just to make sure, you're launching the game through steam, not through the taskbar?

Yes.

could you try running steam as admin and launching the game?

Yeah, I opened steam as administrator, doesn't seem to work. I think it will be fine though, I can work with it. Thanks!
stray elm
you could try asking the person who's sharing to set that option? If I get the chance, I'll look a bit more into steam share
weary wharf
Sure, if I'll see if I can get them to set it. If you can't find anything on it then I think it will be alright.
Thanks again.

sure thing! Best of luck

Hi folks, just got Hades as it says it supports controllers. The tech fixes channel doesn't address my issue: The controller (Xbox Elite 2) is not seen by the game, seemingly, at all. Works fine in my other steam games.
What else can I do? I have nerve conduction issues in my left hand, so WASD is out of the question entirely.
stray elm
Hey @golden fossil ! Sorry to hear it's not working. There's one part in fixes about your controller not being detected--
If your controller isn’t detected by the game, try disconnecting all controllers and ensuring all controller devices are removed from the Device Manager. Then, reconnect your primary controller and try again. The game will always read the controller in slot 1.
Have you checked that?
In addition, I'd still give the launch options a try, just in case.
On Steam:
· Right-click on Hades in your Steam Library
· Select 'Properties...'
· Press the button that says 'Set Launch Options...'
· Enter the following: /UseNativeGaInput=true /UseNativeGaInputNoControllers=false

Hey guys. Im getting this weird slowdown effect whenever I enter a new chamber
it fixes itself everytime I tab out and back in but I dont want to keep doing that lol
stray elm
@mossy shadow what platform are you on?

I'm on Epic. I found out my VSync was still on after it reset my settings lmao
thank you for the help though

Hi everyone! I'm running with a potato computer here and Windows 7 (as I currently have to due to external project restrictions who require Windows 7). While being potato, I have successfully being able to play previous Supergiants games with 60 FPS (including Pyre). Hades is acting strangly on my PC. First of all, Hades runs on 60FPS (actually, it's run around 80ish, but I use VSync). Intrestingly, when I have vSync on in game, it mostly smooth, but there a line of tearing in the upper section (which vSync should remove in the first place), and the game shutter a bit when I dash. Mostly in crowded areas, or demanding areas like Asphodel. But while this happening, FPS is still flat 60.
When I disable vSync, I goes to 80 FPS, but the game feels choppy.
I tried enable external Vsync, and disable the one used in Hades, but it has no effect. It's almost like the vSync acting funky on Hades. I tried to Cap FPS externally, or use RivaTuner scanlines (which acts sort of like Vsync), tripple buffering... etc. Everything has that "Dash" shutter.
I assume Windows 7 and my old hardware isn't support, but figured I will ask if someone seen this before, as it doesn't seems to be a FPS issues, but something else.
stray elm
Heyo @mighty quail ! There are some additional steps for performance issues in #h1-tech-fixes , have you looked there?
mighty quail
Yep. I did. Including /UseSwapEffectDiscard=true.
But most are Windows 10 releated.
(And specific one says not to run on Windows 7 compatability mode, so Windows 7 might be a problem with Hades).
I'm only posting in case someone encountered that. If there was shuttering with low FPS count, it makes sense. But shutter with 80 FPS makes me feel something else is happening in the background. Or perhaps FPS count is not the ideal parameter to benchmark that.
stray elm
how are you measuring FPS?
mighty quail
Rivatuner. I own the Epic copy, so I added it as external game to Steam - so I can see Steam FPS count - and the results are the same.
Unless those shutter are very fast FPS drops, and the FPS counter just don't update FPS on fast enough intervals.
Do you have other ways perhaps more consistent way to measure FPS?
stray elm
Not off the top of my head, no
At the end of #h1-tech-fixes are some instructions for sending in system info to Supergiant, could you do those? Theoretically, Win7 is the minimum spec for the game, so it should run alright
mighty quail
Yes sure. I can. But I think the hardware is probably not on the minimum spec. So I'm not sure it's worth their time.
It's a Radeon card.
stray elm
mighty quail
Well, I guess I am not too far from that:
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
- 8 GB RAM
- Readeon 4800 HD (4GB VRam)
Guess it's worth a shot.
My Monitor is also 16:9, so does my native resolution. So that's might be another issue related.
Sorry, I mean 16:10.
(1680x1050)
stray elm
is that resolution one of the options in-game?
mighty quail
Aye.
stray elm
have you tried windowed/borderless mode?
stray elm
up to you, no worries if not. It's just piqued my curiosity and I want to see if it's something I'm able to figure out. I'll probably still be on my computer at that point, but I won't be very active (it's getting a bit late on my end)
mighty quail
Sure. No worries. Just ping me back with @mention so I won't miss your reply. Thank you Swan!

My controller stopped working in hades anymore. Do anyone know why?

crude acorn
@mighty quail maybe you could try running the game with /DrawBlendMax=8 /DrawLights=false
mighty quail
Hey @crude acorn - I will give it a try. What they do exactly?
I'm home in like 20 minutes and will update. Thanks! 🙂
crude acorn
Reduce some in-game graphics options (Blending and Lights, respectively) so the game may perform better on older hardware
sick granite
Hum, quick question. I just lost against the last boss, when he goes in his second phase. He's supposed to do this like, greenish wave that does damage, but it didn't appear on screen, but I still took damage for it ? There was some movement in the snow but that's it... Some of the skull that he throws also seems to do the same thing sometimes...
Is that a normal thing, or is that a bug ? (I'm playing on Switch)
mighty quail
@crude acorn @stray elm I tried to run with /DrawBlendMax=9 and DrawLight=falase. I didn't see any imporvement (which point again it's not Hardware/performance issues).
Here's an example:
I'm starting without Vsync. Note I'm running around 80FPS, But everything is super shutter/choppy. When activating Vsync, it stands at 58-60, but still shutter during dash (less so - but still is).
It normally runs at 60 flat, I guess ther's dips to 56-58 because there's a recorder in the background. I also scaled down the video resolution so the file will be smaller and takes less resources to create.
I did noticed a thing though. It seems like that with the recorder, the framework was more choppy then without an active recorder. But the frame-rate was still quite high. So I'm starting to think maybe RivaTuner or Steam overlay are not precise enough with FPS updates? but I never seen it in other games...

@sick granite This is a known issue on the Switch that we're hoping to fix in an upcoming patch
sick granite
Okay, thank you for your answer !
mighty quail
Maybe there's a way to increase the verbosity of the Hades.log?
misty summit
Just gonna copy and paste the message I typed earlier onto here for sake of convenience
So I've noticed I have a glitch (or two? they're both the same glitch just happened twice) with the Fated List, relating to Power Without Equal and Primordial Boons. It says I need to get two more of the boons to unlock them, but after a bit over 175+ run attempts and spamming both of them for god knows how long, I still cant unlock it. Has anyone gotten this glitch or is it just me?
fleet saddle
power without equal is legendaries. your number of runs doesn't matter if you never had the prerequisites for legendaries, plus they won't always appear even then (using keepsakes and green side of mirror may help). and primordial is probably just bad luck. both of these not bugged for me on switch, at least
misty summit
The Issue is, I know I picked it up at least twice, same with the primordial boons
not only that the exclamation point to show that its required for the fated list doesn't even appear anymore

Hi guys, i have 2 questions. What is latest version of the game released on switch? quz i have 1.0.36054 and as i have read 2 or 3 patches were released from that time and i cant update my game, so i dont know if its only my problem or it is kinda "normal"
And second, i kinda stuck with achilles and spear. I upgraded almost all normal aspects, i cleared most of game (kinda i have to organize last party) and when i speak with achilles he says sth like " we dont have anything new to talk about". so i began to think is it my version of game bugged (cuz of pkt.1) or im missing sth.
stray elm
@royal needle in terms up updates, the Switch has a few extra steps go through, so updates are delayed
For Achilles, have you || unlocked at least 5 non-Zagreus aspects ||?
royal needle
yes, 1 for sword, 1 for spear, 2 for bow, 1 for fists and 1 for gun- non zag asp
stray elm
Hmm...it's possible that Achilles' dialogue got a bit backed up--how long has it been since he's had an ❕ above his head for new dialogue?
royal needle
it kinda depend, im dealing with him and patrocles so, he have ! mark only when i speak with other
i did some suicide runs, and after 5 still he didnt have to talkt to me about
stray elm
Alright. Right now, there isn't really a way to look into that, sorry ^.^" The Switch version doesn't have a way to send in bug reports. Theoretically, once cross-saves are enabled, there will be

hmmm. thanks for trying to help me ^^

Swan: update on the xbox series x controller: it's working now, I had to do the following steps:
- update firmware in Xbox Accessories app, while controller is connected via USB
- unpair the controller from the PC
- run windows update, get latest cumulative update installed
- reboot
- re-pair controller
plain panther
it's working great in hades and had no problems with it in-game
stray elm
remind me--is it a wireless controller primarily, that has a wired function? Or is it just wired?
plain panther
it's a wireless controller, and it has a usb-c port that can plug into the PC
the Xbox accessories app won't detect it while it's wireless, has to be via USB
stray elm
Thanks for the update ^.^

you're welcome, have a great evening!

When I try to record Hades gameplay, it records my desktop instead of the game. Recording with Geforce Experience.
Tried Vulkan and DirectX, Fullscreen and Borderless Windowed mode.
A few weeks ago, or maybe months, I did successfully record the game. Back then the game only had DirectX support.
Okay I guess I'll also try restarting my computer...
stray elm
Hey @slender lotus ! Have you updated your drivers recently?
slender lotus
@stray elm Yeah, one or two weeks ago
Btw I just realized it doesn't actually record the desktop under the game, it records my second monitor for some reason... so it might not be the game's fault, but my geforce settings or something...
stray elm
I'd take a look through this ( https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/geforce-experience-recording/ ) for a start. I don't have a lot of experience with using GeForce
Ah, that would also do it
slender lotus
but hades is running on my primary monitor and it should record the primary one
I'll play around a little
stray elm
Sounds good
slender lotus
Okay, so I found a workaround... I disabled the ability to capture the desktop, now it can only capture the game and it works. Not great, but it works for now.
stray elm
glad you got it to work!
lone galleon
This isn't really a bug that needs fixing, but does anyone know what the different launch options mean and what they affect? (DirectX, Vulcan, 32-bit)
stray elm
@lone galleon
DirectX and Vulkan are two different modes of processing graphics
32 bit refers to a version of Hades that uses less memory
Vulkan may work better on some setups, DirectX will work better on others
lone galleon
okay, is there a way to figure out which is best? or do i just gotta try them out?
stray elm
theoretically you could do some research and figure it out, but it'll probably be faster to just try them
lone galleon
ok lol, thanks

i am here beacause i defeat hades and when i get out the zone the game crashed because direct x. that have a solution?

Did it pop up with a crash report window @lost iris ?

ajam
stray elm
as long as the game doesn't crash again soon, you should be fine. If you lost your run progress, there are instructions in #h1-tech-fixes to recover it.
If you need help in a different language, let me know and I'll do my best
lost iris
well is better in spanish XD

ah me dejo en grecia cuando lo volvi a abrir

si el juego no se crasheo de nuevo, debe estar bien

Quick minor quirk I noticed: On macOS, if I change my system sound output device (e.g. from speaker to headphones) while Hades is running, the game does not switch but sticks to the "old" output device. Quitting and relaunching the game seems to be the only way to get it to use a different sound output device.
stray elm
Feels kinda strange to be doing this myself, but I got a video of the Dash Nova bug for y'all
(additional info sent in a bug report, short version is I'm pretty sure it's because of how animation-cancelling works with the Sword's special)
delicate mural
I find it hard to explain but I'm gonna try.
Sometimes I've noticed that Zagreus won't quite follow the direction of where I tilt my stick towards, like I'd tilt the stick towards left for example and he'd follow it but not instantly, only a second later or such. It doesn't happen too often but it mainly happened during my fights with Hades, so ya. XD no Johnning
I use a PlayStation 4 controller on Steam, connected wirelessly through Bluetooth. Could this happen because the controler might be out of battery when it happens?
And sometimes he would get stuck in a direction and keep going into it unless I nudge the stick away from that direction into a different one.
stray elm
Hey @delicate mural ! In the in-game settings, there's an option called "dead zone." Have you tried adjusting that?
It affects how sensitive the controls are
delicate mural
Oh ya, I noticed that option last night but I'm not quite sure how it works.
stray elm
If you increase it, the controls should be a bit more sensitive
stray elm
ideally, you would barely need to move your joystick for the controls to be registered
are you using Steam's Big Picture Mode?
stray elm
You can also check the dead zone settings in there
delicate mural
Maybe using wireless controller generally isn't a good idea since there might be some input delay?
stray elm
Mm, maybe a bit, but at this point that kind of delay is negligible unless you're using an older controller or computer
mostly likely, it's either Hades' or Steam's Dead Zone settings
delicate mural
Hmmm, do you believe it could be as a sign telling me the controller might be dying, as in no battery?
stray elm
definitely possible, though most wireless controllers have warning lights for low battery
delicate mural
Hmm, I generally don't notice the light.
Oh ya
Also
Now whenever I open Hades I have the option to choose default
Vulkan
Or one other setting, I forgot
Why are there these option for me? What are they supposed to represent?
stray elm
DirectX and Vulkan are two different modes of processing graphics
32 bit refers to a version of Hades that uses less memory
Vulkan may work better on some setups, DirectX will work better on others
those options show up for everyone
delicate mural
So one option gets you running the game at lower settings while the other does it at default settings.
stray elm
not quite
DirectX and Vulkan are both 64-bit, they just function differently. The 32-bit option does run at some lower settings

Hello guys are any of you having an issue with Divided by Death / End to Torment questline ? it wont trigger no dialog no nothing I want their contracts. I got to the point no more dialogs in hades house. I also maxed their hearts and finished all of their dialogs.
spent around 30 hours in game trying to unlock it 😔
I looked it up online so far. Meg only complained once in the hub that he is helping me. no convo with hades about it. also no convo with Nyx. I thought because of dusa Questline after I finished it it still nothing
especially hades.
slender lotus
This doesn't really belong here, but I don't know how else to address this: Is there a way to disable the HUD ingame during normal gameplay? Maybe with some debug menu or something? I would love to know why the developers didn't implement that as an option into the game.
faint jewel
@slender lotus As far as I know, there is no way to do that, but maybe you can find a mod that does it here: https://discord.gg/KuMbyrN.
@visual plank For Achilles, ||you need to get the contract from the Admin Chamber and then buy it from House Contractor (it will be available to buy after a run). Same goes for Sisyphus.|| Have you done that?
visual plank
No I cant see anything to collect from there
faint jewel
Have a look here and see if you done all the things listed: https://hades.gamepedia.com/Sisyphus
visual plank
going to give it a look thanks
faint jewel
Under "Favor"
It should be up to date, the wiki that is, checking it now
For Achilles as well: https://hades.gamepedia.com/Achilles
visual plank
I got risk it all
but nothing after from him
nothing in room to collect
sorry for the tag fat finger * 😔 I believe it is bugged because I have looked everywhere.
I still dont have his quest from the fated list btw
faint jewel
If you also meet all the requirements listed in the wiki, then report it F10 and make sure you add your Discord nick or some way of contacting you for the team
faint jewel
yes
visual plank
hmm weird
faint jewel
so looks like a bug indeed
it's weird it haven't been triggered even though you had that Achilles' line... unless I'm missing something in the requirements...
faint jewel
Ok, so to get the Achilles quest complete, you need to complete the Sisyphus one first, looks like it
visual plank
hmm probably
Do I need to clear hades every time for the quest ? It is okay to suicide each time I start a run
pain 😔
faint jewel
It doesn't look like you need to finish the run to progress
Have you meet Thanatos in the field?
faint jewel
ok
Did you have conversation with Sisyphus about how ||he ended up down there in Tartarus? How he cheated death? ||
visual plank
|| yes, also about how he fooled hades and thanatos||
faint jewel
Have you ||talked to Bouldy?||
visual plank
oh no !
faint jewel
Try then! That might be it
visual plank
ok
stray elm
@visual plank have you gotten || Nyx to her locked heart ||?
@sterile lake is it not working in-game?
faint jewel
try talking to Sisyphus few more times, you should have all the requirements now to trigger dialogue starting with this line: ||Sisyphus, I know you tend to be in remarkably good spirits, all things considered, but there must be something I can do to help with your predicament, isn't there?||
visual plank
this is one of the requirements to trigger the diolog
it says first meeting and I just have met bouldy
so probably I should give it more tries
faint jewel
yup, exactly

@stray elm when i check "Playstation Configuration Support" the game detects input but some actions are mapped to the same button, for example Attack and ||Summons|| are both mapped to the same button
And when i disable "Playstation Configuration Support" The game does not detect input at all

faint jewel
Great! Have fun then 🙂
stray elm
@sterile lake Mac or PC?
And are you able to rebind those buttons in the in-game menu?
sterile lake
@stray elm Im on PC, trying out your suggestion right now
also fyi it works the same (or doesent) in directx and vulkan
Okay R2 and L2 arent working
when i try to rebind
but i swear when i pressed attack multiple times i attacked and a text was displayed Summon unavailable
stray elm
Makes sense, those are render options not control options
Alright—could you try the launch option /PS4Gamepad=true ?
Not certain it will work
But worth a try
sterile lake
you sure i should type it that way? other steam launch options usually start with a "-" on pc if i recall correctly
stray elm
Yup, that's how Supergiant has theirs set up
There are also the other launch options in #h1-tech-fixes for controller input issues that you could try
sterile lake
Ill try it thanks for your great support so far

I filed a bug report I hope if the devs can ignore it under the name of fahad aljohani sorry for the hassle.

I was helping someone else recently with a (different) new controller model, and this is what they ended up needing to do: #h1-tech-support message

@atomic badge there's one last interaction with her that is gated by RNG, unfortunately--how long has it been since you got her to max?

uhm I dunno a while? I know that's not really a number but all I can really say for certainty is that I'm p sure it was not much before the final release and I play Hades kinda off and on, any info on the last interaction so I know if I hit it?

iirc, it's the || bedroom scene with her ||

Hi, I hope this is the right place for this. I'm playing Hades and loving it. I'm playing it on steam using a Nintendo Switch Controller. The face buttons aren't right even though I have Switch Controller Support. For example the game tells me to press B but what actually should be pressed is A. Any fixes for this to make the buttons match my controller? I think its using Xbox button layout by default even though Steam has it on using Nintendo Lay out and Switch Controller Support. Sorry if this is jumbled and has been asked a lot before couldn't find an answer in the discord search bar.
stray elm
heyo @sterile rivet ! Are you using Steam's Big Picture Mode?
sterile rivet
I'm not, should I? I just launch it normally and it says gamepad controls loaded

I'd give BP a try, it tends to fix most compatibility issues. Just go into the settings when you open BP up and make sure the Switch Pro controller is turned on

I'll give it a shot thanks

The text font bug is something the devs have been trying to track down, so any reports are helpful!

hardy flicker
So, I set a setting for hades to not be full screen a few days ago, and it caused the game screen to completely disappear. Attempts to reload the game have kept the setting and still do not allow me to view the game
Is my best bet to uninstall and reinstall?
I’m tired so if I don’t respond I’m asleep
stray elm
@hardy flicker can you try setting the launch option /FullScreen=false?
golden knoll
just here to check if anyone else's game full screen doesnt work the same as before after updating to Big Sur?
it now has black borders on each sides (top, bottom, left, right) where previously it fills up the whole screen
crude acorn
@golden knoll I don't have a Big Sur machine at the moment, that may have to wait for someone in the US time zones
@hardy flicker either try what @stray elm mentioned or delete all of the following lines from the Documents\Saved Games\Hades\Profile1.sjson: X =, Y =, WindowX =, WindowY =, WindowWidth=, WindowHeight=
Depending on which was the last slot you used to play, do that for Profile2.sjson, Profile3.sjson and/or Profile4.sjson.
If all else fails, delete Profile1/2/3/4.sjson file(s). This won't lose you any progress, just the settings (not controls either)
jaunty veldt
so i have a bit of a bug going where the Customer Loyalty prophecy refuses to exist for me
I only just today did my first Stubborn Defiance run and bought Touch of Styx from the shop, figuring that might be the last one I need. Nope. Prophecy's still not on my list. Not complete, not incomplete, not pending reward claim, just not there.
I can take and attach other screenshots upon request, or even upload my save data if you tell me how.
(i have over 100 runs and there seems to be no easy way of tracking mirror settings in the Permanent Record)
last kettle
Hi @jaunty veldt, are you on PC? If so, can you send an in-game bug report with F10?
jaunty veldt
should i worry about what screenshot i'm sending with it?
last kettle
Any screenshot is fine!
severe raven
Hello, sorry if this is not the right place. I have the hades game in Spanish, and the Epic Games client in Spanish too, why do I get the achievements of the game in English? I have seen other people who have them in Spanish, can I change the language of the achievements in some way? Thank you
stray elm
@severe raven hey! Could you report that with ? ¿Puede reportarlo con ?
Creo que deberían ser en Español / I think they should be in Spanish
No se lo suficiente de Epic Games para saber si usted puede cambiarla, yo podría buacarlo
last kettle
Hi @jaunty veldt, I looked into your save file. While I'm not sure why Customer Loyalty isn't showing up to begin with, I was able to get it to appear by purchasing one of the items still required. It looks like if you purchase either a Price of Midas or a Flame Wheel Release, the prophecy will show up on your list. Purchasing both will complete the prophecy. Hope this helps!
stray elm
@sonic sedge what's the track?
sonic sedge
oh wait it's a longer version of the track... uhh you know what, nevermind I should really listen to the whole thing
stray elm
XD no worries!
sonic sedge
House of Hades in-game starts somewhere in the middle of where the House of Hades track starts, didn't make the connection until now
stray elm
Though I certainly encourage you to enjoy all of the music :P
sonic sedge
but the leitmotif carries over with The Painful Way in a way that... yeah
wild hawk
I seem to have issues with unlocking affection for multiple different gods and characters. I've looked everything up and have done multiple runs with all conditions satisfied (completed prophecies, maxing affection with other characters, etc.) Should I submit a bug report for each character affection issue I have or just lump them all together?
stray elm
@wild hawk just one--submitting that (and including your discord tag) will let the devs check all of them and get back to you.
You could also run through them in text here if you want--there are some extra conditions for some that aren't well-represented on the wiki
wild hawk
I have it all typed up already so whichever you think works best 😄
stray elm
let's start here, and then whichever ones we don't figure out, send in that report, maybe?
wild hawk
Trying to unlock max affection for all characters and seem to have hit a wall. This is not the only one I have noticed, and will end up submitting bug reports for each
Have completed the War-God's Bloodlust prophecy and have met Ares at least 3 times in game since then and have not unlocked his final heart. I unlocked the prophecy and it auto completed the next run (late unlock).
For Aphrodite, I have max romanced both Dusa and Thanatos and she will not unlock her final heart. I would say it's been 4-5 runs at least since that has been fulfilled.
For Dionysus, I have gifted well over 30 ambrosia and have almost every character maxed affection and he still won't unlock his last heart. Easily met him in more than 5 runs with this completed.
I have had Magaera at max hearts for at least 30 completed runs and still have not had the dialogue option / bedroom meeting. This one I know is RNG based (dialogue option when you fight her) so I might just have to keep running.
All of this affection stuff was happening right around when I completed the epilogue of the story (Hades party).
stray elm
Have completed the War-God's Bloodlust prophecy and have met Ares at least 3 times in game since then and have not unlocked his final heart. I unlocked the prophecy and it auto completed the next run (late unlock).
This one is slightly RNG-gated, unfortunately, so I'd give it a couple more encounters
For Aphrodite, I have max romanced both Dusa and Thanatos and she will not unlock her final heart. I would say it's been 4-5 runs at least since that has been fulfilled.
That's on me, I forgot to update the wiki. You need all three
For Dionysus, I have gifted well over 30 ambrosia and have almost every character maxed affection and he still won't unlock his last heart. Easily met him in more than 5 runs with this completed.
Not sure about Dio's, so go ahead and report that
I have had Magaera at max hearts for at least 30 completed runs and still have not had the dialogue option / bedroom meeting. This one I know is RNG based (dialogue option when you fight her) so I might just have to keep running.
Yup, lots of RNG
wild hawk
Thank you very much for the help, I'll submit the Dio one!
stray elm
Sounds good!
sharp rampart
hi, i wanted to ask if test branch and normal versions do interact with eachother
stray elm
In what way?
sharp rampart
does one save file work on both versions
stray elm
yup!
sharp rampart
so i can play on test branch and try latest changes
and if i kill ||hades|| then it'll be saved and i will be able to continue on higher heat on normal version?
faint jewel
Aren't test branch and standard one the same now anyway? As it states in test branch announcements?
stray elm
yup
also, Tiank, for whatever reason gamepedia isn't letting me actually reach the edit page (stuck on loading), are you in a place to update Aphrodite's page?
sharp rampart
but it might change in the future right
faint jewel
Will try when I'm home, Swan
stray elm
potentially, yes, I'd keep an eye on #test-branch-updates . It won't be any significant gameplay changes though
Thanks!
sharp rampart
thanks!
stray elm
Sure thing ^.^

plain sigil
Will the next update / patch for Switch be the one that also introduces cross-saves? I only encountered one bug (green waves not appearing in the final boss sometimes) and don't know if there have been any patches recently
sterile rivet
So I finally got around to testing out to see if my Controller issue was fixed in Steam's big picture mode and unfortunately it appears that big picture mode was not the solution. The buttons in the game do not match what they are mapped to still currently. For example the game tells me dash is the B button while the Dash is actually my Switch Pro controller's A button. I have it set to Nintendo Switch Controller Support and "Use Nintendo Button Layout" in the steam menu. Any tips to fix this issue? I'm led to believe the game is using the Xbox controller face button layout even while I'm on Switch Controller support on steam
stray elm
@plain sigil It should be pretty soon, and that bug specifically should be fixed in the upcoming update
@sterile rivet I can check real quick on my end as well, I'll let you know what I see
this is what my screen looks like in the controller settings
worn lion
Hello - I am having a serious problem progressing Thanatos's story (i.e. unlocking his favor). Please see my reddit post with full details here https://www.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/jtt1y8/i_cant_unlock_thanatoss_favor_no_matter_what_i_do/ but bottom line is I think I have broken the coding and can't unlock his favor. Is there a way I can edit the config files to force his story to progress?
stray elm
Hey @worn lion ! If you're on PC, could you send in a bug report with , and include your discord tag? That will let one of the devs check your save file to see if you're missing any pre-reqs, or if it's just really bad RNG (or if something really is broken)
worn lion
Thanks @stray elm will do. Is the list of pre-reqs known anywhere / available online?
stray elm
Most of it is listed on the Hades wiki (http://hades.gamepedia.com/thanatos), but from your post you've already met those
worn lion
Okay thanks for the help!!
stray elm
Sure thing ^.^
(make sure to include details of what you're wondering about in the bug report!)
sterile rivet
Thanks for the response, unfortunately my settings appear to be the same as yours though yet the controls are still swapped. I'm having the same issue this reddit post is having
stray elm
alright, just a sec
interesting, getting the same thing on my end with the incorrect icons
alright, I just sent in a bug report on my end, feel like this wasn't the case a while back but not sure
I'll keep you updated if I learn anything more
sterile rivet
Thanks for the help

sure thing!
open pagoda
Is there a way to refresh my boons for the next run, like if I dont like the boons I get, ill just "give up" but get the same ones next time
stray elm
other than dying, @open pagoda , no
"Give up" keeps your seed
though--
you can equip different god keepsakes to tweak it a bit
open pagoda
Ah, ok thanks

primal turtle
Hi there! I’m unable to get “Good Riddance” from the house contractor, although I’ve heard Orpheus sing it, and have maxed hearts with both him and Eurydice. I’ve googled around and it seems others are having this issue as well and I’m wondering if this will be patched? I have the switch version of the game (and I love it!!)
stray elm
Hey @primal turtle ! That's a known bug that should be fixed with the next Switch update!
primal turtle
Thank you so much for answering my question ☺️ it’s a beautiful song and I really admire the musicians (and all the staff for the game) 🥰
stray elm
Sure thing! And yeah, they've done a really good job with it
narrow crest
So I was kinda doing this because I wanted to listen to something in a background, and I noticed that when you turn the SFX volume all the way down, there are still some sound fx that sound
stray elm
Huh--could you report that in-game, @narrow crest ? Especially if you can identify any specific SFX that keep playing
winged swan
when going from zag's room to skelly's place, the game seems to crash after saving but before loading on steam version? it''s happened twice now, is this a known issue or should i trouble shoot about it? all files validated successfully via steam, dunno how accurate that is
narrow crest
@stray elm done. I think an easy repro is just turn down music, turn off SFX, dash around inside the House of Hades.
stray elm
Thanks!
@winged swan could you elaborate a bit on the sequence of events? I don't quite follow, sorry
winged swan
uh so i go from the main house of hades area, go to zagreus' room, then try to go to the training area with skelly, and the game crashes while the screen's black and closes itself. upon restarting the game and starting that save file, the game starts with zagreus entering the training area where skelly is, with the data seemingly saved before the crash
stray elm
in terms of the data saving, that makes sense--entering and exiting rooms in the House triggers a save. Do you get a crash message/popup?
winged swan
i might've the first time? not the second, or if i did it closes when the game closes
stray elm
alright. could you follow the steps at the end of #h1-tech-fixes about sending in your log and system info? Hopefully the devs will be able to ID what's going on
limpid bridge
I don't know where to ask this but with Exagryph when i used the special and the moved while special is up in the air it will change location and use doing so multiple times in the air not sure if this was supposed to be a feature or is a glitch but i thought i should try and contact someone to let them know
narrow crest
are you sure it wasn't hitting a pillar?
stray elm
If you're near a wall @limpid bridge it may have bounced against it. If you think that's not the case, could you try to get a video or screenshot of it happening?
limpid bridge
no it was open space when fired
it was in the middle of the Elysium boss fight and it started to happen and i lost with one hit remaining
stray elm
What platform are you on?
narrow crest
Has anyone seen the little Fated prophecy marker next to a legendary boon? I feel like I've never seen that
stray elm
back when I was first getting those, I did, yeah
limpid bridge
@stray elm PC
stray elm
Alright--could you report that with and describe what happened? And if it ever pops up again, try and hit as it's bouncing, and/or get a video/screenshot and upload here
limpid bridge
ok i will

Noticed that I could get unshakeable mettle with divine dash and flood shot, but the requirements in my codex do not list divine dash as a prereq for it. I compared my prereqs with a friend and noticed that his list is different. We're both playing on 1.36645. Screenshot is from my codex
stray elm
Hey @regal flume ! What platforms are you and you friend one?
regal flume
we're both on pc through steam
stray elm
could you both try verifying file integrity? And if that doesn't change anything, could you both report in-game with ? I'm not certain what the correct pre-reqs should show up as/be

hello - i have my xbox series x controller connected to mac + steam. seems to work except i cant reload the rail by clicking the right joystick. any thoughts?
fiery arch
Hi. How can I change renderer to Vulkan for Steam?
faint jewel
@fiery arch it should come up as an option when you launch the game in steam (though the interface)
@sleek pasture You could try rebinding reload to a different button or open the game in Steam Big Picture which usually helps with controller issues.
fiery arch
Thx 🙂

Hi there,
Little bug found on the PC version of Hades:
When having Aspect of Beowulf and taking Chaos's boon Grasp, if you "load" all cast ammo and then have the boon "evolve" (getting +1 cast ammo), the cast counter will refill, making possible to have (in my case) 7 cast ammo loaded in the shield despite having only 4 cast ammo. So it's very specific.
Didn't had the reflex to report with F10. Sorry ^^"
faint jewel
It happened to me once as well, reported it through F10, so hopefully devs will be able to fix it 😉 It's definitely connected to that Chaos' boon.
analog anvil
Hey i have a problem.. Epic Services are activate, cloud saving too.. But i have 2 save in the cloud. 1 is my main save, 2 is an other useless save. But i can't delete save number 2. Did you know how to do that ?
faint jewel
@analog anvil The only way to delete a save permanently is via the saved games folder
analog anvil
But it's not working @faint jewel i have already tried that many times..
or wait, i will try something new
faint jewel
It's in C:\Users[your user name here]\Documents\Saved Games\Hades\
Deleting it through the game only allows to overwrite the save slot
analog anvil
Oh ok !
I need to delete the entire folder ? Or juste profil2.sav and more ? @faint jewel
Because i try with profil2.sav and it's not working :/
and i have already done a copy of my folder 😄
faint jewel
Definitely not the whole folder, as you will loose your save game (all of them)
Try everything related to profile2 if save slot 2 is the one you want deleted
analog anvil
Yep it's slot 2. Ok i try
Not working ! But it's cloud saving @faint jewel , like both saves are in the cloud. Even if i delete the whole folder, thoses saves will come back
My game look like that. And i want to delete the little cloud on the 2nd save.
faint jewel
I was trying to delete it as well but it will automatically come back from the cloud as you're saying. I was pretty sure it was possible to delete a save before, so maybe recently it was changed or something... Are you on Epic?
analog anvil
Yup i'm on Epic.. I can try to text the support, i don't know..
faint jewel
let me try something
analog anvil
Okay 😄
faint jewel
I didn't succeed to delete it... I mean, I did once, but I couldn't reproduce it XD.
So it is a bit weird atm... Sorry...
analog anvil
No problem ! Thanks a lot ! Hope we could fin a fix in next weeks !
ripe pond
Hey 👋 Is anyone else experiencing a problem with voices in a dialogue where they start off really quiet and then get to normal volume quickly?
It happens not just at the beginning of the line, but every time they make a brief pause as well. For example in this dialogue, Orpheus is really quiet for the words "My friend", "Eyridice", "I, no" and every time he says just "I".
Hey! I finally was able to make a video of it, this time in a dialogue with Eurydice. Zagreus' voice is fine, but when Eurydice is making a pause and starts talking again, she starts off very quiet. Here it's not quite as prominent as other times, but still quite noticeable. Also attached the Saved game data, maybe that's helpful. 🤷♂️

Hello! I feel a bit silly, but wasn't sure how to fix this - I typically play on a mac with a switch pro controller. I updated to Big Sur two days ago, and now the controller no longer seems to be recognized in Hades. I have tried the fixes in the tech-fixes channel (changing the launch settings to have /UseNativeGaInput=true /UseNativeGaInputNoControllers=false, turning off rumble, launching from steam big picture mode) as well as uninstalling and re-installing Hades, as well as verifying the integrity of the game files, restarting (the game, steam, and my computer) multiple times, etc...Is there anything else I could try?
(Steam does continue to recognize the controller, and I am able to use it in big picture mode - just not in Hades itself).
steady willow
I am in a big distress here and I'm supposed to stream tonight and panicking my Hades game on my laptop isnt showing but I hear music and I dont know what to do
I tried closing it and booting it back up
@everyone anyone can help?
sick haven
Update to switch controller issue - I realized that the game will recognize input from the following: the right stick, and the screen shot key. The right stick movement is very jumpy. If I try to swap to using keyboard and mouse while the controller is connected, Zag will consistently try to run North and it looks like he is "fighting" the keyboard input. Overall very weird. (Also sorry Crimson, hope you find an answer soon!)
steady willow
Yeah I opened up another game from steam and it works fine
Hades is the only one having the issue
placid pulsar
I've found something very weird. whenever i fight Asterius and Thesius, whenever Asterius does his bull rush attack he always targets Thesius. It makes sense as he is slightly getting annoyed by Thesius's Boasting. Is this meant to happen? I'm confused.
crude acorn
@steady willow delete all of the following lines from the Documents\Saved Games\Hades\Profile1.sjson: X =, Y =, WindowX =, WindowY =, WindowWidth=, WindowHeight=
Depending on which was the last slot you used to play, do that for Profile2.sjson, Profile3.sjson and/or Profile4.sjson.
If all else fails, delete Profile1/2/3/4.sjson file(s). This won't lose you any progress, just the settings (not controls either)
faint jewel
@steady willow Are you using OBS to record by any chance?
crude acorn
@sick haven thanks for the report, it seems that unfortunately some players on Big Sur are experiencing issues, we will be looking into them
faint jewel
@sick haven Maybe try adjusting the Dead Zone in the in-game Settings. It's a long shot but maybe it could work, since the game recognizes some input...
@placid pulsar That is an additional attack that should start appearing after you completed the ||Asterius and Theseus friendship storyline. The attack should produce a shockwave once Asterius hits Theseus.||
vestal olive
i can't ALT-TAB the game anymore, i have to force it with CTRL-ALT-DEL. And then when i bring up the game again i get a black screen but the game is still running, if i do it again i can play just fine but it's really tedious. Seems to happen since the major windows update from a few days ago i dunno. The game used to handle ALT-TAB perfectly 
placid pulsar
@faint jewel Thanks I didn't know that 🙂
faint jewel
@vestal olive Try using Windowed mode. You can select it in Display option in the Main Menu. It should allow you to Alt-Tab.

Hi, I came across this while I was exploring the house : Cerberus is the featured house servant in Zagreus's voice line as well as on the wall, but the subtitle (French ones) is the one for when Thanatos is House servant... (I'm on the Switch version)
faint jewel
@ripe grail ^ Maybe that's something you can check and fix?
ripe grail
it's already fixed on pc
sick granite
Then it should come soon to the Switch version, I suppose

Yes

yeah the switch version's localization is like a month behind the pc version's

Hi, my friend installed the game for the first time but can't hear it, but me who is watching her play via sharing screen on discord can hear it perfectly, anyone knows about that problem?
faint jewel
Maybe she should try this:
If you are experiencing issues with the game audio, please first make sure your audio drivers are updated:
· Open Windows Device Manager
· Open the Audio Inputs and Outputs list of devices
· Right-click on your audio device and choose "Update Driver"If sound effects are cut-off or "staticky", check the in-game settings menu and try adjusting any lowered volume sliders back to maximum, and control game volume with your system’s volume settings instead.
If you’re using a controller, make sure it’s disabled as a sound device.
wise jewel
It was the controller, thanks so much

@Joseph.#7694 as far as I can tell, Epic does not have a way to manually delete a save file from the cloud. As long as having that second save isn't an issue, personally I wouldn't worry about it.
Welp, guess they left xD
@ripe pond I noticed in that video, the music was off—do their voices seem to fade in and out in the same way with music on?

Hi there, the game is gorgeous. Sometimes, on my MacBook air, it freezes, and gets really boring in the middle of a battle. Thx for this incredible game.
stray elm
Hey @dark ravine ! Are you getting short freezes that resume after a few seconds, or longer freezes that force you to exit the game?
dark ravine
It resumes. Game is still running
I have to press pause asap not to be hit
Is this a recurring issue? Or am I alone?
stray elm
There are some things listed in #h1-tech-fixes that might help, I'd start there
It's known, but there are things that should help
dark ravine

Sure thing ^.^ Let me know if none of those work, there might be some other things to try
frosty tiger
Hello, Hades was working fine just yesterday, but now it crashes even before getting to the title screen. Can anyone help me?
sick haven
@faint jewel & @crude acorn Thank you for the suggestion - I can confirm that that did not fix the issue, but it was worth trying! Please let me know if you end up needing more system info in the future, and I can send the reports listed in the tech-fixes channel to the email listed.
I can also confirm that it looks like it's just the switch pro controller on my system that isn't working - I plugged in a dual shock 4 and that worked just fine.
Thank you again for your help!
stray elm
@frosty tiger Sorry to hear that--have you looked in #h1-tech-fixes ?
(whoops, missed part of your message, sorry badger)
@sick haven , could you try the launch options /PS4Gamepad=false and /AllowControlHotSwap=true ? Not certain that those will do anything, but could be worth a try
sick haven
Should I clear out the other launch options (/UseNativeGaInput=true /UseNativeGaInputNoControllers=false)? Or have all four?
stray elm
could try both ways, though I don't think the first two would interfere with the second two
sick haven
super interesting -
stray elm
oh?
sick haven
so with the previous two options on along with the two new ones, it didn't work. With just the options /PS4Gamepad=false and /AllowControlHotSwap=true on, it works as long as I have the steam controller preference one for PS4 controller configuration on.
but the buttons are obviously ps4 layout and not swapped
if I turn the switch pro configuration on, it stops working again
stray elm
are they PS layout, or xbox layout? (as in, shapes or letters)
stray elm
ah-ha!
I have no idea why that fixed it, mind you
but the icons being swapped from switch pro layout is a known problem with the switch pro in general
I have the same problem on my PC
out of curiosity--
sick haven
Ah, yes - sorry, I meant for the "confirm/cancel" buttons
stray elm
could you try without /AllowControlHotSwap=true?
sick haven
Yes! I can try that
stray elm
(as in, A/B and X/Y are swapped?)
sick haven
Yes - I always had the issue before of needing to change those buttons in the hades menu for attack/dash etc, but could still use the A button to confirm and B to cancel on the switch pro before
but now they are like the PS4, where the bottom button (B, or X on the ps4) is confirm, and the right button (A, or circle) cancels
stray elm
and what icons are showing up in-game?
sick haven
In game, it is letters
And I took out /AllowControlHotSwap=true, and it still works :)
stray elm
sweet!
@crude acorn to condense that down--setting /PS4Gamepad=false, turning off Switch Pro Config Support, and turning on PS Config Support somehow fixed it
sick haven
(with the exception of the confirm/cancel buttons being switched from how it usually is on the switch pro controller).
@stray elm Thank you so much
I am really glad I can play with my preferred controller again!
stray elm
Sure thing! Happy to help

i am not very tech savvy and im having no luck...
stray elm
alright--do you have anything like Google Cloud or OneDrive that backs up your files to the cloud?
and have you just started the game, or have you been playing before today?
rapid ridge
i have onedrive. no ive played many times and this is the first time theres been a saving issue
stray elm
Steam or PC?
rapid ridge
um... both?
stray elm
oh
(sorry, tired)
xD
I meant to say Steam or Epic, but that answered my question >.<
rapid ridge
hahaha
stray elm
Could you try this:
On Steam:
· Right-click on Hades in your Steam Library
· Select 'Properties...'
· Press the button that says 'Set Launch Options...'
· Enter the following:/SaveToTempAndMove=true
rapid ridge
didnt work
stray elm
Alright--could you try these steps? (You don't need to change Pictures, just Documents)
actually--
before that
if you go to Documents/Saved Games/Hades and right click on one of the files, then select Properties, is Read Only checked?
rapid ridge
i already changed the read only
stray elm
if you check again, does it still say that?
rapid ridge
my onedrive isnt signed in and i dont think it usually is so i dont think that would need to be changed? and it also doesnt have all those 5 tabs only setting,account and about
stray elm
if you're not using OneDrive actively, then that wouldn't be it, so don't worry about that
rapid ridge
it does keep putting the read only back on
stray elm
could you try the steps listed here? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/allow-a-blocked-app-in-windows-security-b5b6627a-b008-2ca2-7931-7e51e912b034
stray elm
you want to change Controlled Folder Access to off
rapid ridge
nothin
stray elm
do you have active antivirus, like McAfee Antivirus Software or BitDefender?
rapid ridge
i would assume so. is there a way for me to check?
stray elm
if you open the start menu and start typing "antivirus" they might show up?
rapid ridge
i finished my run and i entered the room where skelly isnt and didnt get the message so i think the issue may be fixed?
stray elm
it might only pop up during a run, when the game autosaves to the temp save file (as opposed to saving to the main save file)
rapid ridge
thanks alot for your time and help 🙂
stray elm
sure thing!
steady willow
@crude acorn I'll remember that in case it happens again thank you! <3
@steady willow Are you using OBS to record by any chance?
@faint jewel
Yeah, I managed to resolve it while OBS was closed though.
Fiddled on the resolution settings, and BOOM it was back to window mode like I wanted it to be. That whole ordeal WAS SO WEIRD.
faint jewel
@steady willow I found out that if I want to record Hades with OBS I need to have OBS opened first and then launch Hades, and OBS will then detect Hades. Sometimes I need to fiddle with Window Capture Mode in OBS (change it from Hades to something else and then back again). I'm glad it worked for you in the end! 🙂
stray elm
OBS opened first and then Hades
took me way too long to figure that out...
toxic venture
(PC)
When I press "give up" it kicks me to the main menu
Is it suppose to be like that or is it suppose to kick me back to main hall in the game?
stray elm
that's intended, yes
it reloads you to before your run started
and the easiest way to do that is to just send you back to the main menu, since you don't keep any of your resources anyway
toxic venture
My friend who is switch user said it sends them to the main hall instead of the game menu so I was a little confused
thank u
stray elm
Sure thing! I didn't know that about the Switch, interesting

Hi! I'm on Windows 10 and I play on GOG Galaxy (I bought Hades on Epic Game Store)
My save data is corrupted and I've already tried the solutions from Supergiant (in Saved Games/Hades w/ Profile1.sav...)
stray elm
what kind of corrupted is it?
still abyss
still abyss
Yes
stray elm
do you know what caused the corruption?
still abyss
Not at all
stray elm
alright. You could try deleting Profile1.sjson? But there's unfortunately not a ton that I know of for recovering corrupted save data. Have you submitted any bug reports recently?
stray elm
fair enough xD
still abyss
It still doesn't work....
stray elm
drat. I'm not sure then, sorry. One of the devs might have an idea when they wake up in the morning, but I can't make any promises there
You could get a save from someone else to make up for you progress, though--how far in were you?
still abyss
I've been playing for about 50 hours. I've simp every but Patrocles until the lock (but I've full simp Zeus and Charon and Hades) ; I've unlocked the aspect except the secret aspect of Sword, Gun and Fists.
stray elm
Alright--when you start up the game, are you able to hit to pull up the bug report window?
still abyss
Yep
stray elm
could you send that in, and include your discord tag?
stray elm
sure thing--if you do end up wanted to get a save from someone else, you could ask around here or on another forum. If you're not worried about progression, you could grab one from the speedrunning website

Hi there, is there any way to get my Borders back? The Ultrawide side Borders (Art Borders) are gone.. and no setting (or startargument) brings them back. 😦 i'll try to locate all the Hades Files on my PC and try it again.. but i'm out of Ideas.
stray elm
@gray knot what have you tried so far for launch options?
gray knot
/UseSideBarArt=false
/UseSideBarArt=true
i mean there are no black borders instead.. they are completly gone. the image is streched all over my Monitor 😆
stray elm
Alright
Could you try /AttemptHighDPI=true?
You can also try /x= /y=, with your desired resolution
gray knot
Have to reinstall the whole game. just a second
stray elm
Aight
gray knot
/AttemptHighDPI=true makes no change to me
stray elm
If you look in the in-game settings, does your resolution show up?
stray elm
Sounds good! Glad we got it to work
gray knot
For Information: 21:9 MSI MAG341CQ @ 3440x1440 Win10 64bit Professional (if the problem goes around)
Tahnk you :9 have a nice day
stray elm
Sure thing! And you too
gray knot
/UseSideBarArt=true /x=3440 /y=1440 works too with slightly better fps.

Hello, i've got some problem happening after trying to start up the game at around the 40% loading mark. It always happens after switching the pc off, and then getting on again. I always launch the game in administrator, and it works fine until pc reset. I have a mod loaded through the hades mod importer, but since there were no updates i know off, i don't suspect that's the problem. Tried everything suggested in the crash report and tech fix section, but nothing seems to work
Additionally, the crash report isn't always the same, and sometimes the crash report doesn't appear at all, and the game continues to load, altho increasingly slowly, and it eventually stops to a halt, and only task manager can close it, seems weird
sharp narwhal
If/when it's creating a crash report, you can submit that with your Discord tag (Niko#0027) in the contact info section of the report and we can take a look!
calm shell
Done
sharp narwhal
Alright, I'm not too sure, but I'll hold onto it and ask an engineer when my coworkers are online!
