@bitter thicket

[last rampart]

why are there so many stats? like actually?

• weapon damage
• physical power
• physical power bonus %
  these all do the same thing and its pointless to have so many of the same thing
  i understand +true damage
  but why can we get +magic damage on our melee weapons? i believe it doesnt actually do anything on melee

and theres more things that are useless
+# spell memory and +% spell memory (which comes in generally around 1% and just rounds up to 1 anyway?) why

+% debuff/buff duration by things like 1% or 2% will probably never effect the outcome of anything

no one is gonna put on an item in order to get a 1% bonus item equip speed

why are there so many useless stats? and stats that do the exact same thing as another?

[radiant rapids]

I've wondered that for a bit too, it does add a huge array of loot which I do like, but does seem pointless

never changing collision, it makes for some of the best and funniest deaths in the game

[burnt badger]

Does anyone else have problems with rubberbanding like crazy and how would you fix that if so????? (I have 180 fps and 12 ping)

[lime creek]

the loot is gone, but don't alt tab while you are in a match and it shouldn't happen again

@burnt badger you can change regions, but they are currently under ddos attack

[pale harbor]

Alt-tab has an effect??? oh shi

[lime creek]

yeah it can also cause an audio bug with push to talk or discord and also black screen you at end of match / lose all loot

[fluid kestrel]

ok all seems good, thank you

[lime creek]

nice 🫡 safe hunting bro

[pale harbor]

bummer, so many inferno exits I've lost to the "lose loot" bug. I was wondering if something I was doing was making it worse. this doesn't involve blackscreens FWIW

how do i make an account? i finally went thru that long process and there is no sign up button

[keen aurora]

The log in screen is also a sign in if you use a new name and password

[elder stream]

oh okay thanks i guess i shouldve tried it before asking

[keen aurora]

All good lol

[quiet agate]

Is it a common issue, and if so, how does one fix it?
"Failed to connect to the server. Quit the game." error on "login"
Hotfix installed, tried different "accounts" etc. Help><
Did a full reinstall, been trying since yesterday evening, before the server went down.

[lone rampart]

what the hell does a wizard do starting out? in pvp, spells do good damage, but in pve? enemies take so much to kill

[keen aurora]

@quiet agate ive just relaunched the game till it worked
@lone rampart mainly for backline damage, run with a team

[quiet agate]

I'm probably on a couple dozen launches at least, so that doesn't seem to help on my end. Damn.

[lone rampart]

wanted to level a wizard to run with my team, but i guess i'll just ask them to carry me a bit. ah well

[hoary widget]

Load into goblin caves and just spam magic missile in the heads and then die to get to level 10 so you have dmg, cast speed, and knowledge skills then away you go to pvp. Wizard pves really well if you're willing to sit down and meditate or rest. Just gotta missile some faces

[keen aurora]

Do you hve both hotfixes?

[quiet agate]

actually no, just installed the initial + patch 2. Will try to find the link to hotfix 1 now, ty.

[lone rampart]

i see, thank you

[solid cedar]

yeah, you have to have both

[lavish lion]

what does +1 magical healing mean?

[keen aurora]

Most likely increases healing from spells if i had to guess

[solid cedar]

physical heal is items. magical is from skills/spells.

[weak steeple]

Would anyone happen to know if spell casting speed/ knowledge lets a bard play their music faster?

[keen aurora]

I dont think so, but if you want the longer songs to be faster just spam and mess up, you still get the full spell pretty sure.

[weak steeple]

was just wondering because they have a -15% casting speed debuff, but I guess its more playtest bard things

[quiet agate]

Reinstalled just to be sure in the Base+1+2 order.
Tried 5 times.
Nope, same stuff. GAHHHH

[keen aurora]

sorry for being vague because i genuinely dont know if you can make his songs faster. hes still new so anything goes really, no hurt in figuring out though

[solid cedar]

did you run the installer of each seperately

[weak steeple]

fair enough, maybe I'll try to go for items that buff the casting speed to determine the truth

[quiet agate]

Yeah. I'm legitimately confused, maybe something with my internet connection. hm.

[keen aurora]

Thats what i was about to do lol
@quiet agate Are you getting any specific error? or just failed to connect to server?

[solid cedar]

If you ran the game installer separately after getting them on torrent I wouldn't know.

[weak steeple]

well, either or. I'll just try something else (man I wish enchanted lutes were a thing)

[tidal matrix]

i also did this in order and i still have black screen hmm

[quiet agate]

Failed to connect to the server. Quit the game.
The basic one.
Reinstalling to a new path rn just out of sheer rage xD

[cinder moon]

ho w do i get the fighter badge on my name lol

[keen aurora]

The black screen might be because of drivers, my buddy had to update his due to a black screen but i dont know.
@quiet agate i dont know man, i downloaded mine out of relative ease, so far youve done everything i can think of

[quiet agate]

Did see a reddit post today where people claimed a system restart helped with the same problem.
Which... raises some concerns of the "does the game try to sneak some service into my system and relies on it" variety.

Think if the new path install doesn't work, I'll do the reboot trick, but that's the extent of suffering for today><

[plain canopy]

dude i am so confused i need to redownload dark and darker and 2 patches ?

[quiet agate]

no, probably not, Bosh. Was talking about a problem on my end.

[tidal matrix]

aight thanks im gonna reinstall it again from scratch just to make sure

[plain canopy]

no i mean i havnt downloaded the 2nd patch yet and i read the annoucment base 64 what happened to torent why is it all this now im confused asf was simple copy and past

[keen aurora]

The second patch you have to decode using a website they linked

[gilded ferry]

It’s now a copy paste and a copy paste.

[plain canopy]

why is it GETTING WORSE AND NOT BETTER

[quiet agate]

They encoded the links because discord doesn't allow such torrenting distribution.

[dapper umbra]

I am here again asking this :
Hello, does the bard healing get affected by magical healing or physical healing?
any clue or something about ?

[solid cedar]

if you have the game and patch 1 you only need to get patch 2 and ignore the rest

[quiet agate]

You probably just need the second hotfix. Copy the text, go to site, paste - decode - copy decoded magnet link - paste in torrent.

[keen aurora]

Just stick with the game for now its in a rough state

[keen aurora]

The only thing i can think of helping his healing is maybe magical speeds up his tranquility, but i doubt it. you cant overheal the retainable heath

[dapper umbra]

tnx for the answer, yea I was wondering the same.. I just want to pump the healing over time.
Like now it seems that just heal 2hp/ sec until u heal the maximum amount possible.
I just want to pimp up this value so people can fast replenish the lost life during a fight but I Am not sure at this point

[burnt badger]

are severs down

[keen aurora]

Yeah im also trying to figure out how to get the maximum value from him, hes kinda underpowered right now but he will be stroger in the future.
@burnt badger the only time servers are fully down are when they are announced

[weak steeple]

Its magical healing, it makes the healing it does go way faster

[dapper umbra]

tnx for the answer!
So Will stats will also affect this thing as well, right?

[keen aurora]

Good to know thanks for the info

[quiet agate]

Ho-ly-Hell. I was really sure it'd work, but nope =_=

A clean reinstall also doesn't do anything for the "Failed to connect to the server. Quit the game" error.
K I give up. Sigh.
HWYYYYYYYYYYY

[zinc sphinx]

when does the playtest end ?

[keen aurora]

Sorry to hear that man, dont fully give up on the game when it fully launches though
@zinc sphinx The 19th unless it gets extended

[weak steeple]

yes, unfortunately when I was testing my items were both will and +magical healing so Im not sure what affects it more but you can definitely tell the difference

[dapper umbra]

well this is very nice to know.
I tried one run with a +2 Will thing and tried with and without.
but in the end the healing/second stayed the same.
I thought that maybe my stats werent enough to make a difference...definitely need to try with magical healing as well.
I just want to pump up people and have imba healing effect so they just need to dont take dmg for 4 seconds and get a nice chunk of hp back XD

[quiet agate]

Depends on the financial situation and if they actually release in my region, I guess. TY for the encouragement tho, have fun with the game, maybe see you in the release

It is what it is.

TencentGME.dll in a pre-release torrentable alpha scares me a bit too, in all fairness xD

[dapper umbra]

if I can ask, which region you are? because you can always use VPN to play the game bro

[keen aurora]

I have faith in them, its a genuinely good game and im down to follow it till the end.
I hope to see you in the release too, i doubt anything harmfull will come from to game to its fans because thats ALOT of people that they would have on their backs

[quiet agate]

I'm in the "Red Scare of 2022" Russian region, so jumping through those couple extra hoops to BUY the game might not be worth it if the publisher decides to restrict us on Steam/Epic/wherever.
Although that's (hopefully) not happening. Game looked nice in previous alpha peeks, concept's solid, and they seem to be pumping content, so...

Just keep prayge-ing for no apocalypse and we'll see how it goes with all the rest xD

[cosmic seal]

is there set times for when the zone moves? I assume so but idk

[glossy turret]

I can't get in to a game it just says matchmaking, how do I fix this?

[uneven pollen]

Friend downloaded the launcher, hotfix 1 and 2 -- still getting build version incorrect... anyone help?

[keen aurora]

@cosmic seal yes cant tell you the times of the top of my head
@glossy turret try relaunching the game or choosing a different region
@uneven pollen Are they in the right order in qbit?

[uneven pollen]

Right order in qbit?

[quiet agate]

Wait, they have an actual "build version incorrect" error?

Yeah it was 100% my connection or problem with current provider/region/wherever then.

As for the friend - solid advice would be "Uninstall + reinstall all in the correct order, reboot and pray"

[keen aurora]

In the QBitTorrent window make sure they are in the right order, game on top, then first fix 2nd, and then second fix 3rd

[dapper umbra]

Oh I see I see.. well I m not much expert but maybe a VPN can still route you to let u play the game even if the region is blocked.
I suggest you to try atleats this now for the playtest that's free so u can experiment it. ( u can try windscribe VPN, is free and is solid)
That's if is a connection issue, if is ur machine or any problem related to this side then.. I dont know how to help you D: this playtest is a bit too much rough.
Sadly Ironmace had to put all the effort in few days to fix up the fact that the game couldnt be released on steam so I cannot blame at all..actualy they did a pretty good and solid work in such short time so they should be only praised

[keen aurora]

Yeah its a shame it has to be this way but i imagine what were dealing with is small compared to what ironmace is going through right now

[burnt badger]

Im so confused on how to play now

[keen aurora]

Are you having trouble downloading the game?

[alpine snow]

any one elses game after update looks pixle werid??

[burnt badger]

yes

[carmine fern]

I hate to ask, especially if it's been asked before, but I keep freezing mid match and end up having to use task manager to close the game. I'm aware of graphics being bugged out and have AA maxed with low shadows. The game seems to run fine and very smooth up until the freeze. Any fixes/suggestions?

[keen aurora]

You will find how to download the game in announcements, you might have to scroll a tiny bit
@carmine fern It mgiht be a space issue, are you low?

[burnt badger]

no im just so confused on why it aint working

[keen aurora]

What specifically are you having trouble with

[quiet agate]

Aaaaaand with a vpn game is fine.
Goddamn it.

[brave relic]

hey, so im tryna log in and it says wrong password, what do i do?

[burnt badger]

i download it and it says it need to update

[carmine fern]

No have plenty of space, also on an SSD

[quiet agate]

You'll need to download both hotfix patches and install them as well.

[keen aurora]

Pft, hey you can play now good job lol
@brave relic try a different password, if you cant remember they gave you a code when you first made your account that you can use

[burnt badger]

redownload even the first one?

[quiet agate]

No, I really can't as it's not a gameable vpn xD
Reinstalling hotfixes. Will see if it's JUST the login server and I can drop the vpn after it...

@burnt badger If you have base + hotfix #1 - then no, only install hotfix #2

[brave relic]

yea... i have no recollection. dont even know if its the right username

[keen aurora]

I dont know, try running on lower graphics, or close a couple apps. could be a internet issue

[keen aurora]

Just try everything you think you'd use, other than that you might have to make a new account. The playtest ends tomorrow so its not a huge deal.

[burnt badger]

wish me luck trying to play again

[rapid hamlet]

what?

[brave relic]

as i was, i used a different name and made a new account

[rapid hamlet]

did they run Dark and Darker A5 Patch.exe?

[burnt badger]

it still diddnt work im salty asf

[keen aurora]

You need the game and both hotfixes, the second is provided in the community announcements.
@rapid hamlet huh

[quiet agate]

Well shit. It's an actual IP lock, might be a region lock for some Russian IPs.
Not only login server, but ingame as well. Ah well. G'luck, everyone, and maybe see you guys in the next one. G'night 🙂

[burnt badger]

im so stupid guys sorry for wasting ur time

[undone dune]

Do you benefit from your secondary weapon stats while in primary weps?

[keen aurora]

Im sorry to hear that, i hope to play with you in the future somehow though, goodluck to you and goodnight
@burnt badger your okay man, did you figure it out?

[hardy stag]

try using a VPN or something. If it's allowed in the rules.

[rapid hamlet]

the order in qbt doesn't affect anythig

[burnt badger]

i did i was installing the installer for patch 2 but wasnt installing patch 2

[lament gate]

is anyone else picking up all aggro dropped after invis ends, even if u are miles away?

[keen aurora]

I meant the order you download them aswell sorry im tired
@burnt badger good to hear that, have fun

[burnt badger]

thx

[rapid hamlet]

you mean the order of installing them?

@last raven
yes

[keen aurora]

ye, i think that effects them unless im completely wrong

[last raven]

do i need to do hotfix1 before hotfix 2?

[hardy stag]

yes

[last raven]

ty for reply!

[lusty helm]

when does the playtest end?

[keen aurora]

19th,

[last raven]

what does the cut throat skill do for the rogue?

[wraith yew]

[delicate kite]

When does the goblin cave staircase exit open?

[wintry horizon]

is magic damage good for rogues?

[tidal summit]

Anyone have a solution for successfully escaping and then not getting ANY loot like you died?

[little aurora]

Random time I think, you have to wait quite some time (I'd rather say quite long)

[vernal birch]

Rogue need magic power or magic damage for stronger poison dmg

[stiff marten]

How do you make a suggestion?

[inland elk]

does anyone know if the rogue perk "thrust" helps with the troll? or rather does the troll have physical dmg reduction?

[scarlet oxide]

Has there been any way found since the playtest started to circumvent losing my loadout to the black screen bug?

[gritty gale]

its not a bug from what ive been hearing

its you spawning into a dangerous area with clerics killing you, and that you can prevent it by going into the area with guard/magic defense etc, supposedly?

[scarlet oxide]

If I get hit with the black screen before entering a pregame lobby, does that still hold true?

[gritty gale]

did you follow the YT vid on the latest patch

[cunning fractal]

Q: Why is my game so pixilated
A: Dunno tbh, use XeSS or try other upscaling options, fixed it for me and my friend.

[upper plume]

i m stuck at connecting screen

[scarlet oxide]

do you mean adding -dx.11 at the end of the file property name or whatsit?

[exotic aspen]

i can't run the .exe of the hotfix 1 it just freezes can anyone help me pls ❤️

[faint arrow]

i simply cant see any links to load the game

[heady canopy]

Any reason I can't unsheathe weapon with X? Changing the bind doesnt work and Im stuck using fists

[faint arrow]

please someone can point me to links to download the game

[exotic aspen]

check dm

[remote silo]

Where is the link to download?

[velvet dawn]

I went out of the map due to a map penetration bug in the Forgotten Castle Underground Waterway and fell to my death. How do I compensate for my item? Take a screenshot when you fall

[surreal zinc]

[primal pumice]

yo i moved my dark and darker in a diff drive and now i cant patch my game and theirs an error that dark and darker cannot be found

[gritty gale]

cant just move games dude, that doesnt work with anything hardly ever

[restive knoll]

Max sure you are opening HOTFIX 2 - they look exactly the same and hotfix 2 moved tothe TOP of qbittorent when i downloaded it in stead of the bottom

[primal pumice]

cant i just manualy search for the game file rather then let the patch search for it cuz somehow the patch cant find the game file

[mighty delta]

Playtest extended?

[fallen kraken]

Why did I rollback 4 games in a row? :((

[ocean kite]

In a way, extending it would also cost IM more money to keep up the servers, so if it would cause more trouble for them I'd rather they didn't.

[radiant rapids]

Will this game ever be released? Just read over the lawsuit from Nexon and it’s not looking good :/ what happens if they win?

[fallen kraken]

We will just play P3

[versed egret]

set ur game to dx11

[primal pumice]

help

[fallen kraken]

How does that help? I dont know anything about this kind of stuff

[radiant rapids]

Hopefully Nexon is just as good with listening to the community as IronGames is—but won’t P3 be a completely different game with only similar assets?

[versed egret]

game is coded to work with dx11 api, like most games. As they're not running through steam, it doesn't run dx11 automatically for you. So right click properties on your dnd shortcut, put dx11 after dungeoncrawler.exe" -dx11 like this

[marsh scaffold]

please made a 20$ beta test servers .... 20$ is like nothing...

[radiant rapids]

It’s fr a shame, Nexon’s lawsuit has some valid points and I genuinely don’t see a future for this game—I hope to be wrong considering even with the bugs it’s still one of the most enjoyable games for me at the moment

[spare folio]

move it back to where it was, properly uninstall it, then reinstall at the new location

[past arch]

Through bitcoin ?

[short lagoon]

Will the playtest be extended due to the bugs taking from our time?

[marsh scaffold]

maybe i dont know, 20$ for beta test is not really that bad, Tarkov devs sells there game for 120$ full version...

[spare folio]

it's a playtest, bugs were a given to start with

the attacks on the servers weren't though

[short lagoon]

Same shit... We are cut on the playable time...

[spare folio]

be glad we got a playtest in the first place with the legal issues

[short lagoon]

Yeah...

[mossy rampart]

guys how do i download the 2# patch?

[spare folio]

decode the message from #📢community-announcements , then use torrent again

[ocean kite]

Exactly, especially since it's also all financed out of IM's pockets and they got no income whatsoever from the game as of yet

[fathom crow]

Try putting the patch file into the same folder as the game and run it there maybe?

[primal pumice]

still no

[fathom crow]

Did you move the whole folder or just the game? I think the folder might have some other files needed as well. Also can you even start up the game?

[primal pumice]

ye i did

[vestal oxide]

What stat do I go to increase mining speed?

i get stuck on loading screen but my game starts i can tell from the spawning sound. only solution right now is to alt f4 and relog back in. how do i fix it this is annoying

[glossy pine]

Same problem

[strong whale]

so, I set AA to high and epic, it only blurs it out, and looks really blury... this issue came with hotfix 2, it was perfect before the patch, dafuq happened ....

[glossy pine]

Yeah idk bro...

[burnt badger]

yea same

[hidden basin]

THIS

[craggy bane]

question are they planning adding gear score match making for the howling crypts because the problem is ppl with high lvl gear just one tapping fresh players what will slowly lead death of the game itself...

[fluid meadow]

this again

[hidden basin]

ALso if u change the light setting to 1 ITs basicly black

[vale snow]

cant connect to server how can i fix this, btw i downloaded in order.

[coral shale]

Is reporting clear teaming in goblin cave valid?

[celest urchin]

All the traders have somewhat randomized inventories. You’ll have to check in with him every few raids.

[fluid meadow]

i dont think honestly, there isnt anywhere that states that teaming up is prohibited exactly, just that you cant drop with teamates

[celest urchin]

There’s no rule saying you can’t make friends in the dungeon…

[spare folio]

teaming up makes the troll a good bit easier, just a matter of always watching your back, because people can turn on you at your most vulnerable time

[fluid meadow]

true id def say unless its ruled out in the next patch then teaming is fine

[twin swift]

My level 14 Ranger is bugged. I get black screen when I enter ancient ruins as this character but all my other characters are fine

I played two matches in the crypts, escaped with really good loot but both matches didn't count. I got no xp in neither game, nor did I take my loot with me. In fact it reset my character to starter gear

Anyone know how to fix this tilting issue?

[surreal nexus]

always has been and always will be

[slate forge]

did the devs announce the end of the playtest?

[spare folio]

the thing with teaming is that it's a risk, not to mention a loss of a lot of loot, a rule of honor, more than anything as it's not a battleroyale

[coral shale]

Yea one of the guys got killed at the end kekw

[twin swift]

I guess no one knows why then :\

[hot raven]

I was just in one then and there were 4 of them teaming together 😆 , there's no preventing it really though

[spare folio]

I havent encountered that issue myself, it's your game that's the issue though, not the character, that's all i know

[ruby girder]

Whats up with the races missing

[radiant rapids]

Anyone got a fix for pixelated game and incredible darkness after hotfix 2

[runic tree]

anyone figured out how to fix infinite loading screen when a match starts? i have to relaunch the game and reconnect to the match

[fluid meadow]

thats the only way ive found

[celest jetty]

the patch 3, where they will broke more things that were already working

[odd zodiac]

my game started being stuck at loading, any idea?

[runic tree]

no idea, only restarting the game helps

[versed egret]

No fix found so far, try getting into games slower, switching characters back and forth in character selection

[radiant rapids]

I have found that changing class before loading helps a bit but is not a fix all ^ @versed egret you are a good man

[versed egret]

U2 🤝

[odd zodiac]

thank you

Do we know something about the release of the early game? It was delayed bcs the dmca?

Ok, yesterday when I installed the fix 2#, i got a pixeled image, I set up all in epic and not pixeled anymore, but I see A LOT more darker now, at the point of cannot see, anyone know about that?

[versed sorrel]

does anyone have any tips on fighting the death beetle? I think to me it's the most annoying enemy in the game currently (Melee combat)

[runic tree]

they're all annoying when you're fighting 10 of them and one player at the same time

[versed sorrel]

that is true

[fathom haven]

just don't hold left click, circle around them, after they miss the attack do 2 hits, rinse and repeat. you move much slower when attacking

[versed sorrel]

I see I see, I'll try that, thank you

[lusty solar]

how to fix the black screen? ty

[versed egret]

Enable dx11, pinned in general, put -dx11 directly after dungeoncrawler.exe” AND before server

[spice geyser]

Yo i downloaded and installed the patch, but when I try to login it still says I need to update and won't let me in. What do?

[runic tree]

yea i will just wait for the release, i dont understand that game

[vale snow]

"cant connect to server" how can i fix this shit man

[junior hatch]

try again. you cant 'fix' a server being full.

so i have to restart or wait connecting

[versed burrow]

where can we share screen?

[wraith veldt]

No announcement about that yet. There will probably be an announcement tomorrow

[wraith veldt]

Nothing, that means the download is finished. Your torrent is probably 'seeding' which is optional to do.

[sonic current]

does true magical damage increase your damage output on a fighter considering you are not actually using magic?

[fathom crow]

Its not stuck it has downloaded and is now seeding to others. You can find the file and install it now

[supple nexus]

thanks alot

[fathom crow]

No. It only applies to sources that already deal magical damage.

[wraith veldt]

Magic damage is not solely for spells, it also applies to things such as poison damage. I recommend assigning your discord profile to a role which will grant you access to that classes discord chat where they will have more (and probably better) class specific info for you. #1026916693806686208 is where you can assign yourself your role

Make sure your graphics software/driver is running the latest version, reboot your PC, and see if it's still happening after that

[sudden fox]

happened after i had to update outdated intel processor driver, game wouldnt start otherwise

[copper mortar]

how can i get the link?

[golden totem]

I have a 3070ti and also was having major GPU issues with the game even after updating my driver's. This includes multiple crashes and 3 total blue screens. The game currently is stuttering and having massive FPS drops and GPU consumption. (This is not a complaint like most everyone else in this Discord. Just an observation. I wish more people understood the troubles behind the scenes as well as what an Alpha Play Test typically entails for games of all types)

[ocean kite]

Do you know what would have more impact on a Wizard?:
+2 Magical Power
or
+2 Will
choosing between amulets

[barren timber]

will

[crude lantern]

The same button you pressed to start the song, RMB

[golden totem]

No clue personally, I don't play Wizard or Cleric but from what I've learned from my usual party I'd assume Will.

[barren timber]

will gives magical power + other stats like magic resistance

[ocean kite]

Mhm, thanks for the help~

[crude lantern]

@ocean kite So think of it this way, Will and Strength and Agility are like Parent stats, and Magic Power, Physical damage, movement speed are children stats. Magic Power is a child stat of Will, so in essence you get the same +2 magical power with whatever amulet you choose, but having 2 Will gives you 2 Magical Power + 2 more of whatever other child stats (magic resistance, buff duration, etc)

[swift ridge]

Anyone know why after this hotfix game started to freeze my pc so i can`t even ALT+F4 from it?

[golden totem]

I had the same problems, to the point where I blue screened multiple times. I haven't found a fix sadly..

any1 one else getting ded games?

[next cradle]

hi! i am sorry, but i am not a very smart person, and i fortot my login name, i have the recovery code, where or who i should contact to recover the "account"

[crude lantern]

Honestly, I don't know. Maybe a warden would be able to help with that? But do a DM. And if you find out how to do it, let me us know

[dawn sedge]

Anyone know how to get more spells per slot? Also any ghost king tips?

[crude lantern]

@dawn sedge what do you mean more spells per slot? more charges?

[dawn sedge]

Yeah I’ve seen people have more charges but I dunno how to do it

[next cradle]

high will stat and items

[crude lantern]

You cannot increase the charges on spells I think. They have a charge limit, it can't go over that. You can recover charges by resting, resting at a campfire or drinking clarity potions. (or meditating if you're a wizard)

[copper mortar]

thank you do yk if i have to download the hotfixes after aswell?

[crude lantern]

Yes, hotfix 1, install that, then hotfix 2, install that as well.

[dawn sedge]

Thanks man, I’m trying to become a better cleric than I am lol

[copper mortar]

Thank you kind sir

[heady canopy]

Anyone experience that they cant unsheathe weapon? Im stuck playing barefist even if I change the binds

[crude lantern]

You can sheate your weapon with x, but are you sure the weapon is in the weapon slot? you gotta press 1 or 2 for that

[crisp ingot]

Anyone know if the ability on wizard that stacks arcane damage works per projectile or per spell?

[crude lantern]

There is only 1 arcane spell that can do damage at the moment, so it is per projectile I think.

[crisp ingot]

okay thats what i was thinking but didnt wanna use it if that wasnt the case thank you

[valid needle]

Is the blackscreen Bug still there ?

[fathom crow]

Per projectile yeah, but its still pretty trash

[sour pagoda]

Hey guys, I installed the game, hotfix 1, hotfix 2 in order, but when I try to create an account and click login nothing happens? Has this happened to anyone else?

[crude lantern]

The login page is the account creation page as well. Whatever you put in there will be your account as long as it's not taken. Are you sure you are not getting any errors/messages/popups?

[sour pagoda]

No, it just stay on the same page

[crude lantern]

no idea sadly

[sour pagoda]

I tried 3 usernames and password already:(

[crude lantern]

you mean new ones? Try to restart the game or your PC. Did you install the game + hotfix 1 + hotfix 2? did you play yesterday or before?

[old belfry]

just me or why cant I sell stuff rn

[crisp ingot]

restart game @old belfry

[sour pagoda]

Yeah, I restarted my game each time I tried a new name and pass. And yeah I installed the game and hotfixes in order. No, today was my first time

[crude lantern]

Very strange. Also quick question, where did you get the magnet links from? ALSO, please tell me the version # of the game. Bottom right corner of the login screen

[daring gorge]

How to fix this?

[sour pagoda]

I got the links from a pretty big DaD Taiwan discord server, everyone seemed to be running it no problem. the ver is 0.5.0.1173

[alpine rock]

is matchmaking bugged?

[sudden fox]

anyone else game runs on <30 fps and gpu is 100%?

[fathom crow]

Drop all graphics settings to low-medium except AA

[obtuse needle]

anyone else having a problem logging in bc my servers are failing even tho i reinstalled the game and its patches?

[sudden fox]

everything is already on lowest possble, still extremely laggy

[fathom crow]

Bad computer?

[sudden fox]

game was running 40-60 fps before patch

[obtuse needle]

i see other people on the game but my game wont load up after putting in my login info

[crude moth]

Servers are dying right now in EU West

[fathom crow]

Hmm, then i have no idea. Maybe try upscaling?

[obtuse needle]

im in us east

[crude moth]

Someone is most likely attempting to DDOS the servers

[sudden fox]

upscaling didnt work either. after patch game didnt run because of "outdated driver" gave me crash reporter, i think new driver caused it

[somber moon]

Tips on fighting someone who crouch shields?

I can't hit their head or legs. A side swipe doesn't work either

[obtuse needle]

christ

[covert gorge]

Game just crash (only in match)without error, how to fix.. so tied recconect

[crude lantern]

I've had the outdated driver message for 5 playtests, not upgrading my drivers seems to be a good idea

[fathom crow]

Hmm. You tried all the upscaling options? Might also have something to do with the DDoS that is apparently happening rn.

[primal heron]

same lmao

[tiny crystal]

playtest gonna be extended?

[languid cedar]

sorry if this has been asked already, but what time is the playtest ending tomorrow?

[obtuse needle]

bro wtf do you mean its still one more day left?

[fathom crow]

I had that too for the playtests that were on steam, doesnt happen anymore but i didnt update them.

[normal grail]

Hello. I was curious about something. How exactly can Rogues POSION Skeletons? They are made of nothing but bones.

[topaz rain]

Which room is the treasure horde on lich king map?

[normal grail]

As a wizard what key do i press to select what spell i want to cast? it just kept saying to pick a spell from my memory bank

[wind cloak]

failed to connect to the server when i login it is normal ?

[crude lantern]

E by default

[carmine fern]

I hate to ask, especially if it's been asked before, but I keep freezing mid match and end up having to use task manager to close the game. I'm aware of graphics being bugged out and have AA maxed with low shadows. The game seems to run fine and very smooth up until the freeze. Any fixes/suggestions? Have tried setting the game up in Nvidia control panel, running as administrator, disabling Fullscreen optimizations, trying compatibility modes, setting priority to high in task manager.

[pseudo hare]

servers having troubles rn

[silver saffron]

failed to connections sad

[wind cloak]

@pseudo hare ok thx you

[copper mortar]

when severs are down does it just say failed connecting quit game? im new

[silver saffron]

no, need reload the game and try again maybe 5-10th times will be help you to connected xD

[topaz rain]

Where is the treasure horde on the Lich king map?

[copper mortar]

lol ok thanks

[halcyon estuary]

Why item icons swap with such delay?

[crystal charm]

https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Dark_and_Darker_Wiki here u can find it idk which map u mean

[worn willow]

failed to connect

[fast summit]

Will the game be free when it comes out?

[shy fog]

#server-status

[dark arrow]

Idk if you got your answer but market price tends to go all over the place with Cobalt and Ruby items. If anything, Cobalt shouldn't be anymore than 15g, unless you want to buy the price at 20g. Ruby should be around 20g or 25g. 30g is a bit steep and 40g is overpriced for that

[copper mortar]

do i just keep trying?

[charred halo]

When is the play test going to end?

[obsidian anvil]

19 April 2023

[haughty patrol]

will dark and darker close down tomorrow?

[wispy crystal]

Can someone send me the dx11 configuration

[native sinew]

my game keeps going to a black screen when loading into game

[wispy crystal]

Restart the game it will ask you to reconnect select no. And try again

[native sinew]

ive done that 3 times now, still happening on every time i try to load into a new game

[cobalt oyster]

2 questions
This one I know will get an idk but do we have any info on if the game will get extended
Secondly do we know what the end time of the game is for tomorrow if it is not extended

[rugged lagoon]

my friend is tryin to dl the game and his torrent says upload only and its dling???

[ancient vault]

has ironmace confirmed/denied an extention yet?

[wispy crystal]

How do I change to dx11

[mellow blade]

i was wondering the exact thing! game won’t even launch for me. if i try in safe mode it gives me that direct x wrong version error

[sonic current]

does the altar of sacrifice regenerate like the health shrine does??

[native sinew]

right click shortcut -> properties -> in the target go to the right, add -dx11

[rough dove]

when does playtest end? specifically what hour? is it tonight or tomorrow night

[spark dove]

is str best for barbs?

[crystal charm]

it revives ur ally when u have his soul

[haughty patrol]

When is the playtest opening again?

[sonic current]

yes i know that but is it one time use or does it reset after a while like the health shrine?

[untold knot]

Do I need to keep the files downloaded on the torrent or can I remove them without issue?

[crystal charm]

i think it doest

[pale reef]

U can remove

[tall torrent]

Let me know how to download the new patch.

[wispy crystal]

Thanks

[foggy bolt]

is servers down it says failed to connect

[shrewd heron]

Use YouTube

[burnt badger]

game crashes on startup after installing first patch

[low aurora]

Would anyone know why unless I rerun the patch 2 install and hit play from that finishing the game runs but anytime after that If I close the game and double click the icon it black screens unless I reinstall patch2?

[untold knot]

How do I use the restoration code for an account and can you create multiple accounts?

[pearl bear]

The server went down at the start of the game, so the screen is black even after reconnecting, does this mean that the equipment will disappear if I quit the adventure?

[empty scarab]

so server went down as soon as i started match than i black screen

[autumn trail]

when i try to open the game, it crashes on me

[marble hamlet]

I crash when i try to start the game and get that error message, can someone help with it ?

[honest pumice]

is there a way to recover password?

[pearl bear]

u too

[cold tundra]

I mean theres only a day left so your bound to lose it eventually

[tall drum]

they will most likely extend

[empty scarab]

they will extend it

[untold knot]

there's a code you get when you make your account, how you use it is another deal, maybe mod ticket?

[chrome quiver]

Hey not to change topic but are the servers down? i patched it with both installers and its saying its down

[tawdry flax]

Where do I create an account so I can play the game?

[autumn trail]

same me too man

[marble hamlet]

i think i might have fixed it, try to install patch 1 again

[cold tundra]

I doubt it this time.
With the amount of ddos attacks that are going on and the current on-going lawsuit.
They’re gonna need all the time they can get to fix these bugs and cope with the lawsuit instead of fixing these ddos attacks 24/7 for players. Small team of devs.

Not to mention they’re already having problems with uploading and updating the game via torrent.

[topaz bane]

is there 'universal' timestamp on when exact playtest will be over (for example 24h from now on ) etc

[empty scarab]

these bugs would have never happened if it where to be on steam

[lament helm]

login after you've it installed

[autumn trail]

yeah it worked thanks dude

[tawdry flax]

I tried, but does not work

[pearl bear]

@timber mist

[marsh ocean]

does anyone know whne the playtest will end? because it initially said 14-19 but we lost so much time due to server issues

[arctic spire]

Why are all my servers empty?

[wheat hedge]

What’s the best way to level? Kill as many monsters as possible and play safe to get extract bonus? Goblin caves or other maps?

[desert ibex]

Exit portals give most exp as i know

[wheat hedge]

So I should aim to survive more than kill a couple extra mobs and die?

[long gust]

Yes surviving gives more than just killing a few

[desert ibex]

it has to be like this

[wheat hedge]

Ty!

[forest onyx]

[tidal geode]

@lime lion Turn up anti aliasing and textures to epic

[burnt badger]

[ember flare]

there's only one link to download for hotfix #2 right?

[hexed crow]

try and try u join but have a lot of problems to join

[runic tree]

i think i know what causes infinite loading screen when connecting to a match
if you left previous match while it still hasn't ended, game thinks you are in a previous match therefore cant connect you to next one
just a theory tho, haven't fully tested it yet

[rancid sparrow]

how do i fix this bug where i can see through walls every raid?

[twilit quartz]

Ohh okay gonna try it 😄

[vernal birch]

Plz somebodyyy

[hexed crow]

Can someone tell me why many people go naked is it worth it for the rogues because of the speed?

[gloomy kelp]

is the playtest extended?

[buoyant falcon]

there's anyway to stop having those blackscreens?

[prime yoke]

after the server crash I can not run the game, tired re installing, tried re installing c++ game still wont run any help?

[gloomy kelp]

file integrity check

[ancient wigeon]

The starter gear gives so little defence that it'll almost never save you if you get into a head on battle.

The speed you get from being naked often will though

[tulip mango]

is there a fix for "failed to connect to server, quit the game" whenever i log in says this

[willow kindle]

Can you reset game setting from outside the game ?

[severe summit]

@scarlet garden Just played with you, cleric and fighter? DM me ill give you my IGN

[glossy turret]

HOW TO FIX BLACKSCREEN? im in game right now

[tough onyx]

prob a DDOS attack, just try to log in every few minutes

[ancient wigeon]

Just keep restarting and trying to log in - the servers are stressed and under DDOS attacks

[tulip mango]

BRO THEY CANT CATCH A BREAK

[analog cape]

microsoft visual c++ runtime error anione knows fix?

[charred night]

My game freezes all the time, i always have to close it and open it again, what can i do?

[sage zodiac]

How do i use magic missile? it always shoot one only

[hexed crow]

okey thx bro

[ancient wigeon]

Go to google and search for "Microsoft visual c++ " and download that. If you can't get it working - try downloading both the x86 and x64 versions

[hoary widget]

It's still worth wearing to save you damage taken from pve tho. Rogues defense is their movement so slowing yourself is not worth it if you don't get stats

[fierce mesa]

if u move it interrupts

[dark obsidian]

I had to download it from Microsoft’s website. Then uninstall the version I was running THEN install the newest version to get it working for me

[near phoenix]

is the playtest till the end of 19th?

[cobalt glen]

i entered the game and it was lagging alot, even my gpu was like under 50% loading, then i died, is it ok from start to have such much lags?

[main hamlet]

Where i can find the link of the torrent?

[tulip mango]

according to one guy they are being ddosd or something. so thats probably where the lag is from, i cant even get into the game

[onyx merlin]

Yeye I am

[runic tree]

my game just crashed and i cant close it or open task manager, gg

[vernal birch]

Anybody know this plz?

[open thorn]

[primal sequoia]

My pc is no the problem

[open thorn]

it is

[analog cape]

failed to conect to the game?

[pure sundial]

Hey first time asking a question here... is anyone familiar with this bug? is it currently related to the game not working for everyone else or is this a local issue?
"File:Unknown] [Line: 5467] Invalid pak file version (11) in '../../../DungeonCrawler/Content/Paks/pakchunk300-Windows.pak'. Verify your installation."

[open thorn]

Verify your installation.

[vernal birch]

Bruh it doesn’t say on the skill you just wasted time replying and so did I and I’m at school

[dawn sedge]

Verify your installation and make sure it’s on C: drive not anything else

[sick zinc]

You want to know if you can stack poison on top of poison?

[pure sundial]

@dawn sedge @open thorn Thank both of you very kindly 🙂

[vernal birch]

If I can make the poison dmg more than 4over 4 sec like 5 over 4 sec etc

[open thorn]

just don't forget to Verify your installation.

[sick zinc]

More than likely not during the playtest, that might be part of the skill trees that aren't released yet.
I personally haven't seen anything related to increasing the D.O.T effect of poison.

[pure sundial]

When you say verify you mean like redownload it?

[vernal birch]

K thx was hoping magic damage or magic power gonna hope someone else knows for sure

[copper mortar]

failed to connect to server quit game. what do i do about this

[open thorn]

anything that can prove your installation

[burnt badger]

thoughts on dnd so far? I like it a lot

[fast falcon]

Does the fighter breakthrough skill remove the movement penalty from armor?

[hoary widget]

Magic damage makes poison tick for more. Can get it up quite high and not many people wear any magic resist gear

[hexed crow]

try and try

[vernal birch]

Ty for the reply you have tested this I’m guessing? I bought some magic damage items wasn’t sure if I should buy more yet

[hoary widget]

Yes. I have a small amount on my gear and it ticks for 11 per tick stacked up. You can hit the dummies in the lobby to test for yourself if you load in before lobby is full

[inner plume]

Hot to run it on DX11

[vernal birch]

Woooo appreciate you

[wispy crystal]

Properties>target> -dx11

[sick zinc]

We both appreciate you

[inner plume]

where are properties ?

[wispy crystal]

Right click on launcher icon

[inner plume]

okey and target ?

[runic tree]

literally cant pvp anyone, all of them have better gear

[wispy crystal]

Go goblins always stay with the zone at your back move slowly and get out with loot

[hollow rivet]

my game said:
The Build version is incorrect. An update is required. Quit the game.
how do i update it

[wispy crystal]

Play smart hide as much as possible and listen to your surroundings for enemies and portals

[whole radish]

does anyone know how to fix the game not loading in

[inner plume]

i dont see where to type - dx11

[runic tree]

yea, and im like 50 hours in and haven't even seen the portal with my eyes
my character is already lvl 20

[wispy crystal]

FOR ALL THE LOW SPEC GAMERS
You can enable DirectX 11 mode by adding "-dx11" line in launcher properties. While it doesn't fix the black screen issue I currently have, it raised my FPS during previous playtest and I hope it'll do the same now.
To reach the string on screenshot below, right click on the shortcut you're launching your game from(one should be created on your desktop), then click "properties".

[runic tree]

also the bugs, this infinite loading screen makes me just quit the game and forget it
but the game is hella addictive tho, ngl

[vocal adder]

everytime i load the game it says, cant connect quit the game

[toxic tide]

where do i make an account to login or do i just use my steam login or something?

[true ferry]

just try again until you get in, it has worked for me

[glass jewel]

Us this the form to create login and password. 1st time you create account

[upbeat hawk]

Are they gonna extend play test due to all of these issues with the game?

[pastel raven]

I just saw a fighter using the Slayer perk while they had plate armor equipped. I saw they had the Slayer buff too while spectating. Doesn't the perk stop you from being able to wear plate?

[sleek lantern]

Report him for hacking.

[pastel raven]

I'll send a bug report, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something

[river pilot]

anyone else not able to get into the game?

[toxic tide]

what form?

[inland mauve]

same server down ?

[river pilot]

idk but i am getting "failed to connect to server restart game"

[glass jewel]

Start the game. It will ask you for login and password. Use it to create an account

[toxic tide]

oh okay

[upbeat hawk]

yup im getting failed to connect i havent been able to play nearly at all this playtest because of these issues i hope they extend it its really getting on my nerves now tbh

[inland mauve]

Well they got so much going on I can't blame them , I hope they extend it as well , I love this game

[waxen edge]

did u install both patches in order?

[upbeat hawk]

yeah i know they are trying its just annoying all the legal issues they are having that has an affect on the game i really enjoy this game and the devs actually listen to us its just frustrating

[inland mauve]

I did , you are able to log in ?

[waxen edge]

i was able to play a game and then the screen froze and i closed it. Then i couldnt log in anymore, always saerver fail I'm in Spain, someone with the same issue?

[upbeat hawk]

im in now

[compact rune]

US East not loading atm.

[heady igloo]

why is the hand crossbow bugged? when i shoot it doesn't come out

[compact rune]

Is Locust Swarm just not as good anymore after being patched? Been trying Cleric on solo runs... and it barely does any dmg at all to mobs. Not sure why people were saying it's broken.

[muted linden]

Why is the loot in highroller so much worse than standard? It's as if they are reversed.

[compact rune]

@muted linden Just RNG. Further down you go better the loot but all still about your own luck.

[livid plank]

is anyone else not able to login?

[somber moon]

Anyone have thoughts on why people are DDoS-ing the servers like this? Do we really think it's Nexon, or just some losers with no life?

[glass jewel]

Just keep trying to log in. Sometime it takes 10 tries or more 😄

[muted linden]

Played two matches went down portal both times was pulling all cracked and flawed loot.

[inland mauve]

Thanks

[rotund harness]

where do i get the update

[wispy crystal]

Hosting server prob a max calacity

[compact rune]

@muted linden All that loot still appears. It doesn't raise the minimum quality of loot. Bad luck happens. Some people can go like 1000 times failing a 10% chance.

#📢community-announcements all here

[remote skiff]

is there a way to queue with a party?

[quick slate]

... like, you and your friends group together? Yes?

[late crescent]

Ive got both patches and the game is still telling me im out of date

[graceful whale]

I think you installed them in the wrong order then

[remote skiff]

there is no random player matchmaking i need to find people for party up?

[neat dome]

getting notified "your access to the game has been permanently revoked by using an unauthorized program" even though not using any hacks or etc, booted up fine played the past days fine but now i see this when i log in, any fixes to this?

[late crescent]

So first i download DnD installer, then hotfix #1, then hotfix #2 correct?

[quick slate]

Ahh... So there's a chatroom where you can find people once you hit level 5, but if you click the + icon (plus) before starting your game, you can try and find solo's to invite that way.

It's not the greatest, but it's functional. Otherwise I would recommend, depending your class, runing Goblin Caves until you hit 5 and can advertise yourself as LFG (Looking for group)

[remote skiff]

aye noted

[graceful whale]

well.. doesn't matter what order you download them in, as long as you install them in that order yes

[radiant coral]

after downloading the base game, i get "installer integrity check failed" and i cant open the game file?

[graceful whale]

did you play cleric and oneshot people with the bugged locusts swarms before hotfix 2? lots of people got banned for that

[crystal prairie]

@late crescentafter downloading them all, you also have to use run each exe file to install

[quick slate]

that's a really great point -- I could see some people reporting players for hacking in cases where locusts were a bit rowdy.

[graceful whale]

go back to your torrent client, right click the torrent and select "force recheck"

[neat dome]

im a rogue ranger abuser 😦

[compact rune]

Does Locust Swarm last longer the longer you charge or something? Each time I cast it only lasts like 1 second. 2 damage isn't worth 8 memory.

[graceful whale]

I reported 3 of those clerics two days ago, and when I logged in the next day I got a notification saying thanks for the report and confirmation that 3 playernames were banned

[spiral bronze]

are servers still down?

[radiant coral]

i tried that but it still fails upon trying to open the file location or the file itself

[late crescent]

Alright so im downloading playtest 5 exe. I run that and then close out? And then download hotfix 1, launch it, then hotfix 2, and then launch it, and the game should be playable?

[crystal prairie]

yes there are also exe for each hotfix to install

[graceful whale]

yeah you got a well deserved ban then, that shit is even worse than the cleric shit... expect them to have your hwid banned for whenever they rerelease on steam too

[compact rune]

@late crescent Yep, might get an error but solutions to those. Only issue is servers are down atm but usually they get back up fast. Seems people are DDOsing them.

[graceful whale]

salty rogue hackers ddosing the servers because they got banned smh

[neon berry]

Rapier second attack doesn't do damage to Training dummies, is that a bug or DMG is just not showing?

[compact rune]

Most likely the dummies. Doubt they spent too much time making that feature.

[neat dome]

damn bro cmon man i didn't even use no bugs 😦

[quick slate]

what do you mean "you are a rogue ranger abuser" ?

[graceful whale]

but you just said you were abusing the range bug on rogues

[spark schooner]

anyone able to use game capture on OBS to capture dark and darker? i can only get it to work if i use display capture.

[hoary widget]

Think your game just displaying things wrong. It definitely hits for dmg

[late crescent]

Do i need to log in with my info or just launch the exe and close out? Trying to be thorough so i dont have to go through this stuff over and over

[neat dome]

i mean like i feel like rouge and ranger is strong so im playing the hell out of it, im a legit player tho

[graceful whale]

oh, it sounded like you said something different

[rotund epoch]

Pretty sure it's a cast, and then channeled so you can't move during the channel

[graceful whale]

there is an exploit for giving melee weapons an absurdly long range that some people are abusing

[signal root]

any fix to the "Needing to completely restart the game every 2nd run"??

[warped plinth]

Okay thanks

[neat dome]

maybe abusing is the wrong word hahah

[nova frigate]

For those of you running into a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error when you already have it installed try going to your install folder IE: C:\Program Files\IRONMACE\Dark and Darker A5\DungeonCrawler\Binaries\Win64 and running the DungeonCrawler.exe file directly.

[compact rune]

@rotund epoch Ah, okay. So I have to keep channeling it. Makes it not very viable doing solo goblin runs then.

[quick slate]

if you're landing on a black screen, try adding -dx11 to your startup shortcut which changes the game to render with DirectX 11. It stopped the black-screeen-when-loading issue for me.

[vital edge]

Is there any news about this game coming to console?

[late crescent]

my brother in christ

[signal root]

will try thanks i love u

[ruby sequoia]

i cant join the game its saying that " the following compomemt(s) are required to run this program :
microsoft visual c++ runtime" what do I need to do

[graceful whale]

it won't help, the blackscreen issue doesn't happen clientside, it happens when you join a server instance just as it crashes

[rapid hamlet]

try this https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist
@ruby sequoia

[late crescent]

Guy named @nova frigate posted a thing to try a few messages above

[south lance]

what is the lastest game verison?

[compact rune]

@late crescent Just launch and close.

[unkempt acorn]

Is it safe to run jokester or is it still bugged?

[ruby sequoia]

doesnt work

[neat dome]

its patched i believe

[crude briar]

Did nothing for me. 3x black screens in a row.

[unkempt acorn]

dope, ty

[quick slate]

yeah, I'm sorry. @graceful whale mentioned it wouldn't, and I was grasping a bit. It's more for the startup-blackscreen and not the in-between-game issue.

[pliant canyon]

Can you go to hell in normal dungeon or just high roller?

[compact rune]

You can keep going down in normal. Red portals.

[pliant canyon]

thank you sir

[graceful whale]

to avoid the rage with blackscreens, don't bring in your best gear when the discord chat seems to be complaining about disconnects and servers being down, as the blackscreens are directly related to server stability

[signal root]

so can anyone confirm if they can load into back to back gcaves? first one loads, second has infinite load screen. I wanna know if its the game or me

[sacred notch]

when I left, I still had the last loot, on the new one it disappeared after re-entering the game, it said to return to the match or exit, but when I click to return to the match, I have a black screen, what to do?

[ivory trellis]

will we have another patch today??

[graceful whale]

yeah 12 hours ago it worked fine xd it's when the player numbers peak that the problem seems to happen more often

[signal root]

yeah i was running gcaves all morning and now all the sudden i can't queue 2 in a row without rebooting the game

[graceful whale]

altho the infinite load screen can sometimes be fixed by just alt-f4 and reconnect, as long as you don't get a blackscreen you should be able to reconnect just fine

[gentle dagger]

what's the fix for black screen on start up? swapped cpu now having issues - the pinned message in general is dogwater terrible

[graceful whale]

if you get a blackscreen, just kiss your gear goodbye, relog a few times until you don't get the popup saying you're still in raid

[gentle dagger]

sure, not the answer to the question i'm asking

[quick slate]

for startup black screen I had success adding -dx11 to the startup shortcut. I also noticed that hotfixes reset the shortcut, so I had to re-add it.

[inner oasis]

you need to edit engine.ini as well

[graceful whale]

blackscreens are seemingly caused by game servers going down just as the lobby starts, putting all the players in-game but without a server, there is no fix for it, -dx11 flag will do nothing to help it

[gentle dagger]

adding it to the shortcut key or where am i looking, astfolo pp tool, i'm asking about ON START UP, learn to read

[ruby sequoia]

what do i need to do if

You've said that twice now but there are cases where the game loads and you can hear the menu but you can't see anything. That's what the dx11 thing fixes, was all I'm trying to share. Not sure why everyone's so contentious today.

[inner oasis]

that's not the same blackscreen fam

[graceful whale]

ah ok sorry
