q-and-a

[visual summit]

Will they be bringing back voip? I noticed its not in early access

[blissful swallow]

whats ur gpu? seems like all ppl have geforce with the problem

[dry osprey]

Nope, 6800

[cinder thistle]

Will we one day be able to upgrade our standard edition into a founder's edition?

[sullen glen]

Does anyone know if we will be able to transfer our purchase of the game to steam if it releases on there?

[hearty shell]

after buying the game on darkanddarker.com/shop how do i then download and start playing it?

[normal thistle]

Have they addressed voice chat anywhere? Or is it just the elephant in the room for now?

[blissful swallow]

Download the launcher and log in

[lofty hull]

Are ring drop rates changed? Me and my mates have only found one in 8 hours

[visual summit]

@normal thistle ive been askin and i havent had a response yet

[willow fog]

is anyone experiencing massive stutters ingame, yesterday was fine and smooth. today every couple seconds i stutter and lock up for a half second.

[tidal berry]

I launched dark and darker on my steam deck, closed it, now can’t find where it’s installed smh

[hearty shell]

@SirDunkin it was adressed

[cloud ocean]

some folks have recommended fixes but none have done much good on my end. oddly the only short term fix ive found is alt f4ing out when i load in and relaunching into the active lobby

[west vine]

I love you.

[supple nexus]

does killing people give exp???

[hearty shell]

yes

[coral finch]

You need to download the launcher

[thorn rampart]

How can I make my discord push to talk (mouse 4) work normally while I'm playing? DnD seems to block it

[copper cedar]

Been downloading the game for 40~ minutes, at 10% now, a friend started downloading 10 minutes ago and is done.. any fix for slow DL?

[novel ermine]

specifically announced no voice for now until they can make sure perfect legal terms

[wanton inlet]

The game are comming in steam or other plataform? Because is too expensive for my country. It is the price of a triple A game

[ebon falcon]

is it safe to download from dark and darker website cause it keeps saying file is unsafe?

[willow fog]

@cloud ocean that has worked for me just now. thank you for mentioning it.

[sudden sparrow]

what is grave essence? a craft-able?

[mystic comet]

I did the scan for fix thing even though I was 99% sure that it wouldn't do anything. I think that my computer may have just been doing weird startup tasks at the same time since I still don't think scanning and verifying the files did anything. Working fine now though. Hope you find a fix as well!

[cloud ocean]

are you scanning for fix in the launcher?

[autumn warren]

I get a rendering api warning and then I boot up to a black screen. I’ve played in previous play tests and had the message appear but the game booted normally.

[small hornet]

why is my launcher not opening up?

[distant elk]

please refix it #known-bugs message

[upbeat bluff]

Hey how much does the white skeleton cost in blue shards?? I already have it so I can't see it myself

[mystic comet]

Yes

[stable plover]

where do I download the launcher?

[upbeat bluff]

darkanddarker.com

[small ingot]

what happened to the rare candy stuff is that ever coming bacl/

[willow fog]

@small ingot that is seasonal event stuff

[robust river]

any change about shadow users using DaD website launcher ?

[worthy quest]

I’ve had nearly the same problem, except whenever it finishes downloading, it begins an update… and then begins another update, and then another. Has anyone else had similar issues ?

[cloud hedge]

Anyone know if theres a fix for crazy bad stuttering?

[willow fog]

@cloud hedge there was a recommendation to alt f4 at the start of match and reconnect. worked for me. another recommendation to verify files through the launcher. which im doing now.

[cloud hedge]

Ok thanks, I will try. It's completely unplayable with the stutter

[upbeat bluff]

On Christmas I guess just for events

[willow fog]

we had holiday vendors for most major holidays, usually seasonal.

[small ingot]

thanks for the answers im also curious when the training page is coming if theres any news on that and if there will be quests for the merchants because i remember seeing it last play test but it wasnt implemented

[hot snow]

Is it going to be released on steam???

[worthy quest]

Not until this lawsuit goes away

[main zephyr]

Whenever i try to loot a open chest, it just closes it back again without me pressing shift, anyone knows how to fix that?

[naive umbra]

i keep getting small lag spikes any fix?

[cobalt grove]

yeah same, lag every few seconds

[tight mauve]

yea this framedropping is making it borderline unplayable :/

[analog ginkgo]

I had that issue last night. Reinstalled and didn't have the issue this morning - not sure if the reinstall actually fixed it or if something else did.

[long swallow]

Is there any plans to bring back potion stacks of 3? it feels like such a waste of an inventory space just for 10-15 hp, especially on barbarian with almost 150 hp...

[sage wadi]

im suttering so much ingame

[river path]

If you buy the game right now, do you also get the steam version when ironmace wins the legal battle?

[willow fog]

@analog ginkgo im repairing through launcher, ill let you know how it goes. ive heard reports of restarting your comp after launching the game seems to fix it for most people. so it sounds like a launcher issue.

[onyx mesa]

Why does chaf games still say Dark and darker will be available soon? cant buy it

[analog ginkgo]

Awesome. Let me know - it was unplayable last night. 1.5 seconds of frozen screen every 5-10 seconds lol.

[analog ginkgo]

I can literally hit the "Buy Now" button below that message.

[median beacon]

Hello

[nimble plover]

I'm getting a CDO construction error on launch

[onyx mesa]

didnt work all day for me but i saw that you can change country on the dad website now so i can pay with my bank card i dont have a credit card thats why i wanted to do it through chaf games but this works too

[steep delta]

Is proximity chat still in the game?

[analog ginkgo]

People aren't responding to you because they tell you where you can get the game in the announcments channel.

[night kelp]

everyone with framedrops check if u not in windowed mode

[slow wind]

my only fix to stuttering is not playing on us east, restart after changing servers

[modest fox]

what do drums and flutes do besides make noise? do they buff you or something?

[analog ginkgo]

Not at the moment. Please read the announcement channel. They stated it in the early access annoucement as well as on their website.

[delicate quail]

How long this alpha will stay 1 week or more?

[cloud hedge]

someone recomended that I alt f4 and then rejoin the match, fixed stuttering for me

[analog ginkgo]

It's early access, not a playtest - so I don't think it's going to end? I could be wrong though. However in the past they have always stated an end-date and called them play-tests.

[willow fog]

@slow wind funny you mention it, last night i was us west. no stutters. today us east and stutters.

[flint harness]

❤️ Q:-does action speed affect resting? + Do healing shrines reactivate after time? ❤️

[median beacon]

Dam they made the game 35 dollars 😢

[dense rampart]

Is there a specific reason why we cannot buy it?

[onyx mesa]

yeah big sadge not good for the playercount imo even though im willing to pay that

[willow fog]

@flint harness shrines do reset after time, no idea about action speed and resting. i would assume it would be affected by physical healing.

[median beacon]

lol i just broke so i cant

[analog ginkgo]

From what I'm reading in responses to this video - it seems to fix the stutter issue. I haven't been able to validate myself though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6C4gjoBZho&ab_channel=j0shXH

[thin pike]

Anyone know why download speed is rediculously slow?

[topaz zinc]

stuck on the title screen, is it supposed to load long?

[analog ginkgo]

My buddy had to restart the download client a few times and it eventually started downloading fast (it took him 2 hours to get 13% then 10 minutes to get the last 87% after the 3rd restart of the client.

[blissful swallow]

lots of people downloading, servers overwhelmed. Go download a VPN and switch your location and you can download it faster, I did japan and took me like 15 min tops

[thin pike]

thanks ill try that

[noble plinth]

Does anyone know if warlock curses stack? Like are you able to have 2 curse of pains applied to one enemy at once?

[flint harness]

Q is fighetrs skill "slayer" bugged? and does "counterattack" blocking with shield also count?

[errant tulip]

Launcher seem ok, download seems ok, but when i launch game i get an error indicating some missing files… i tried to repair / resinstall but same error once done. Has anyone solved this issue yet?

[sharp flax]

No it doesnt

[boreal lily]

currently playing on chafgames, any way to play via blacksmith without buying it again??

[blissful swallow]

https://darkanddarker.featureupvote.com/suggestions/470641/error-cdo-constructor-fail-to-find-how-do-i-fix#comment531856 Lots of people having the same issue, upvote this thread so the devs can see the bug and if you can post your specs in the comments

[flint harness]

anyone else having massive laggs/desyncs?

[cloud hedge]

yeah was happening to me, I was told to alt F4 at the start of a match and then reconnect, fixed it for me, I've played like another 5-10 matches since with no stutter

[flint harness]

Are you toxic troll?

[errant tulip]

Thanks for this, sucks paying 50$ to be stuck on this hang up…

[cloud hedge]

Me? Nah man fr, just go in with basic loadout if you don't believe me or something so you know you won't lose anything. You can reconnect if you Alt F4, do it during the lobby while it's finding players.
It worked for me anyway, hopefully it will for you. Just trying to pay it forward since the other guy helped me out, the stutter was crazy bad I couldn't play.

[deep shoal]

[deep shoal]

Somebody should really put together a master problem thread with solutions or ways to attempt to fix. I tried to use the search bar function, but nobody got a response or reply to our problem. I would like to chat w/ a dev or tech help, but I have no idea how to reach out to them.

[nimble plover]

Yeah no fix yet, This sucks. spending 50 bucks on a game and it doesn't work

[stoic echo]

[quiet cedar]

When i play D&D with discord in the background, the game tends to freeze at random. In game it says i get disconnected, and the game becomes unresponsive. I have to go into task manager and end the task to get it to close. My CPU runs at around 30% and gpu at 60% when this happens

[devout wyvern]

[polar coral]

Any news on if we'll be able to get the game on steam (when it inevitably gets back there) if we buy it via their website and all? Maybe like a key distribution thing? Just really would like to avoid either paying twice or having to use a separate launcher.

[true burrow]

Lowering all the graphic settings to low and making the game full screen fixed my lag/stuttering last night. But today I am experiencing the same thing and changing the settings isnt doing anything

It progresses to about 4% before I get a notification saying "Ready to play Dark and Darker." I then check Blacksmith, and it's resetted the "Update" to 0%. The process repeats. - Tried Uninstalling, didn't let me. Tried uninstalling Blacksmith and reinstalling- same problem.

For stuttering, try adding -USEALLAVAILABLECORES to the launch options in the top left of the launcher. That's been the recommendation going around for a minute

[rich path]

[smoky zinc]

Im in tavern table 2 if someone could help me fix the launcher issue pls

[native steppe]

will the game be free after the early acces?

[split path]

Any ETA on full Warlock release

[sand hamlet]

[merry garnet]

How do I turn on voip?

[devout dew]

anyone else getting failed to connect to server on launch?

[halcyon gull]

The shop says "Redstone Shards, the premium currency of Dark and Darker, empowering you to acquire cosmetics and provisions to accompany you on your journey. Players can purchase Redstone Shards in their local currency." Right now we see classes and races gated behind red/blue shard purchases. What else will be available for purchase in the in game shop? Will this become a pay to win game with items/consumables for purchase?

[chrome coral]

I think it's disabled for the moment

[noble plinth]

Voip currently disabled for legal reasons

[burnt badger]

the shop isnt pay to win what yall on about

[halcyon gull]

Right now the classes/races are gated behind shards which you can buy in the shop to unlock. I really hope they don't add in game items/consumables to the shop that you can pay money to buy.

[green monolith]

Hey guys, im trying to install the blacksmith launcher but Im getting these errors when it finishes installing : The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found.Reinstalling the program may fix this problem
The code execution cannot proceed because CONCRT140.dll was not found.Reinstalling the program may fix this problem
The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found.Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. I have tried reinstalling the program, it has not helped

[burnt badger]

i doubt they will but anyways the blueshards arent gated with pay u have to earn those by playing

[crude beacon]

Can we get an official statement from Ironmace about this?

[halcyon gull]

Right but you could just pay $10 bucks and unlock the class like 20 hours of play before someone else.

[smoky sedge]

anyone else getting insane lag and stutters and any fix for it atm?

[native steppe]

will the game be free after the early acces?

[burnt badger]

how would that make sense 🤦

[daring surge]

I have the Same issue

[green monolith]

helppp

[burnt badger]

holy fuck this stuttering problem is so bad

[marsh vine]

I've done litterally every fix and my 3090 pc can't fix the stuttering

[green monolith]

mess with graphic settings, that's what I heard works.

[fast parcel]

switchiung servers fixed my stutter i am playing on brazil and it works perfect

[sand hamlet]

found that swapping to mobile hotspot helped fix the Server error upon trying to sign in thing. Could be a bug with your wifi blocking the transaction of data with blacksmith/ironmace. Mine blocked the D&D official website.

[final dirge]

is there voice chat integrated i cant find the push to talk button

[thorn trail]

I don't see why it would be f2p? During the playtests it was free but is going into early access -> proper release

[glossy barn]

Anyone else unable to join a dungeon? It’s stuck on “please wait. Looking for a game”

[native steppe]

i missread the FAQ and got confused 😅

[tidal mist]

is anyone having a bunch of small rubber banding?

[zenith widget]

having trouble launching the game. I hit start from the launcher, but then im stuck on a black screen...

[potent snow]

does anyone know if my pc can run this game fun?
Fx 8350 gtx 970

[craggy escarp]

Why does the rogue silence not stop fighter's healing when it says it does in the tool tips?

[twilit moon]

Will this game still release on steam? And if it does, will i get it on steam, if i bought it on the website?

[slate viper]

https://www.chafgames.com/games/dark-and-darker ist that save to buy DARK and DArker ?

[wispy flume]

sadly the game is literally unplayable with the lag. I cant kill a single thing. hopefully it gets fixed

[burnt badger]

lag is because of overloaded server/server issues nothing to do with ur graphics lvls or aa

[sand hamlet]

yeah heard that switching servers often helped people, can't say anything for myself however as I haven't installed the game yet

[flint harness]

What are the instruments for? flutes drums and so on?

[sturdy roost]

Any one know how to fix dropped frames and stuttering?

[rocky sandal]

Been working on this all morning. "Failed to connect to server, quit game"

1. Running as admin (Blacksmith launcher, game, etc)
2. Reinstalled launcher at the recommendation of a few people
3. Reinstalled game
4. Restarted computer

I am NA region, using Blacksmith launcher. I can only get as far as the first splash screen when it initially connects. Then I get the above error message. I cannot select a region, etc. I saw other people mentioning this issue specifically here but didn't see answers yet. I'm just watching streams atm and figured I'd go ahead and ask too.

[kind jasper]

i downloaded blacksmith but i cant see the install button for dark and darker how do i adjust the blacksmith window size

[thorny crystal]

[open zealot]

Guys I think it's just Frankfort, playing on other server got rid of any freezes for me

[pastel barn]

Guys, I have a question, my laptop cannot run Dark and Darker, i was trying last night I was getting a lot of lag, so i usually play games via Shadow PC. But Blacksmith recognizes that it's inside of a VM. I already bought the game, I just want to play, any advice?

[fast parcel]

that lag might of been the game itself most people are stuttering depending on the servber

[open zealot]

@pastel barn lags will get fixed eventualy, your laptop might handle the game

[pastel barn]

Thanks m8

[burnt badger]

stutter problems are server not launcher or game changing anything wont fix it

So i have full freeze bug again. Last test it was healed by this line -dx11 -server=54.148.133.180:30000, but now you start with blacksmith.
How to add this line to direct launcher ?
Server is the same ?

[red furnace]

Thanks you boy to tell me the serveur was down

[silk tulip]

:/ they could at the very least let us know they are restarting the servers before they do it.

[drifting basin]

possibly when they are out of their lawsuit but i wouldnt be surprised if they end up not releasing it there and use the ways the have now.

[honest pelican]

Anyone know how to fix the freezing issue?

[grim relic]

If I buy the base game can I upgrade?

[pine falcon]

will it release on steam or epic?

[fluid reef]

What does will as the stat actually do? I don’t see it helping any spellcasters like wizard or cleric

[red furnace]

[willow fog]

[waxen python]

[drifting basin]

Yes you can upgrade after buying the base game

[honest pelican]

anyone know how to fix freezing issue? keeps hapening at the worse times

[trim plover]

At the upper left corner is an arrow, you can input it there in the options of blacksmith.. If the game runs for a bit, and then freezes, I don't think dx11 will fix it, but worth a try.

[sacred eagle]

Can you play D&D now? I though the playtest ended.

[drowsy thunder]

anyone know why i cant purchase through any of the payment options?

[lapis valley]

WHEN ARE WE GETTING VOIP BACK ?

[drifting basin]

Buy access from their website or from chafgames. It's 35 USD for the base game, Links leading to both sites are in #📢announcements

[grim relic]

If I buy base game is the upgrade 15 bucks?

[red furnace]

Hold the line I just buy the game right now and can play so keep the line soldiat

[livid ferry]

Same

[loud summit]

anyone else's game freezing every 10 secs?

[sand hamlet]

Check task manager to see if Blacksmith is already running and stop it, then try again. Also when you run it do you get the splash screen with the blacksmith logo or does it just load for a sec and does nothing?

[eternal python]

yea stutter/freezing pretty bad

[slow ingot]

hello im looking to buy the game but im confused where to buy it, should i get it on darkanddarker.com or chafgames.com

[loud summit]

ah bummer

[smoky zinc]

it does kinda both, but after logging in it just goes away

[livid ferry]

splash logo

[naive comet]

Public test environment? I would assume so.
Assuming it is what I believe it to be, it basically allows the Dev's to gain data and feedback for upcoming tweaks that they're thinking of deploying as a new patch to non-founders.

[sand hamlet]

So you're able to see the login screen, but when you login nothing happens? Same for Neko.

[livid ferry]

but then it says Server error. Please Try Agian when I put my password.

[smoky zinc]

yeah it just goes away after

[loud summit]

might have to VPN? Seems your server region may be overloaded

[livid ferry]

Heard that! Thank you!

[sand hamlet]

Hmm I'm not sure about the login screen disappearing after, haven't had that happen to me so I don't have any specific advice for that. But with the server error thing try switching your wifi, mobile hotspot if you can.

[loud summit]

i would also try a good ol' restart, and scanning/repairing your game

[smoky zinc]

you cant if you cannot even get into the launcher

[ornate sand]

how do i fix server error please try again, when logging in?

[carmine flame]

can anyone tell my why the blacksmith launcher takes a couple minutes to launch?

[sand hamlet]

Could be a factor of a lot of things but try switching your wifi to a diff one, for ex your mobile hotspot. That worked for me.

[orchid cosmos]

Anyone fix the CDO Constructor issue? How have they not said anything about it lmao it's a $50 game that doesn't work

[livid ferry]

mobile hotspot did not work, I try VPN now.

[hot crown]

IS anyone else lagging so hard that they have slide show?

[sand hamlet]

Also seems like my wifi just blocks anything D&D related because it has "an external link that is malicious", wondering if it's happening to anyone else as well.

[crystal saddle]

blacksmith launcher turns off after swohing the logo. does anybody had the same problem? how to fix? its just starting the process and after that off automaticly

[loud summit]

Freezing/stuttering issues seemed to be resolved with a scan/repair in the launcher BTW

[ocean marsh]

same problem here I cannot connect to server

[livid ferry]

Mine did it with the darkanddarker website

[rocky sandal]

Did anyone who had the "Failed to connect to server" issue for an extended period of time ever get past it? I've yet to get in since launch. (Blacksmith launcher, Windows 10)

[red furnace]

What is the best anti aliasting and super resolution Off -fxaa-temporalAA-tsr-dlss-fsr2-xess I got rxt 2060

NVIDIA 2060 RTX

[sand hamlet]

Is this when you try to sign in or somewhere else?

[latent valley]

How long do i have to wait between payment on the website and getting the game activated? i payed 15 min ago the money got charged from my account and its still not there but the tab where i had the process open closed on me...

[sinful dew]

Question, i cant find the VOIP settings or any mention of the voice chat, could someone dm me a screenshot of where to find it? Or is it not avalible right now

[rocky sandal]

This is after login into launcher, launching, seeing the splash screen and the Early Access message. When it says, "Connecting" after, 5 seconds or so then it says, "Failed to connect to server, quit game"

[modest urchin]

when will the game come out on steam? i still have balance there

[arctic spire]

how can i start a temp vc? i join the hub but nothing happens

[potent mauve]

Hi i have a question, it's possible to play the game on Steam Deck?, to be more accurate i meaning if the game can be played in Linux OS, thanks.

[junior solstice]

Guy my game shatters a lot any solution for this? Like having a 1000 ping for 1 or 2 sec

[tawny lagoon]

How do you create a party in the discord?

[loud summit]

scan and repair

[proper fiber]

Since the new update or hot fix, should we do something with our game or just wait

[honest pivot]

anyone know how to fix the blacksmith launcher not opening. the logo appears then nothing happens

[quartz rapids]

Do you guys know if the release price will be cheaper than the early access?

[tidal berry]

Can someone share the link with the launcher download? It’s not showing up on the main page

[sand hamlet]

Hmm I'm not sure. Haven't installed the game yet because of WiFi problems, sorry mate.

[daring meadow]

Is the game ever going to be available on steam?

[sand hamlet]

Prob not anytime soon because of the DMCA from Nexon in the lawsuit

[small forge]

every 3 seconds i stutter for 1 sec, why and how to fix?

[crystal saddle]

blacksmith launcher wont launch

[wise siren]

any solutions for the blacksmith launcher not opening?

[jovial thicket]

do stashes wipe?

[stuck urchin]

Anyone elses Darkand Darker launcher not opening

[dull coral]

its your firewall, disable it nad restart pc should work fine

[crystal saddle]

[jovial thicket]

are there stash wipes monthly or yearly?

[nova laurel]

Eu is a lagfest atm and i stutter every 3 sec

[spark latch]

stutter fix worked for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3kCIIn0j-g

[mortal heath]

4 times I've logged into a match and twice the game has stopped and kick me to the launcher!

[stiff verge]

theres been a lot of people asking for the link or "how to" play in here but nobodys responding? is there some sorta secret weird way to do this or what?

[raw nova]

is there a reason that #dnd-content doesn't allow me to upload video clips, but #dnd-fan-art does?

[halcyon crest]

how does the Hub - join to create voice chat work? its not making the party for me

[novel tinsel]

which page is better to buy it?

[rocky sandal]

What if my firewall is 100% disabled, added rules for DnD regardless?

[raw nova]

direct from Ironmace

[steep jasper]

chaf is a subscription based game launcher so does that mean that in a month i wont be able to play without continueing the subscription?

[finite dust]

Is it possible to link Chaf to Blacksmith? I cannot run the game from the shitty Chaf launcher

[bold prairie]

are the servers down again?

[dull coral]

yeah try connecting to darkanddarker.com, if youre unable to connect that typically the reason, oh try turning on and back off. heard from someone else earlier they had to do that when their firewall was turned on, some kind of reset network wise should do the trick

[novel tinsel]

I got a suspicious file alert

[bleak talon]

so, im studdering up the ass, even with a 4090 and 5800X3D. this did not occur during the A5 playtest, is anyone having that issue too?

[raw nova]

it is a suspicious file because it's brand new

[mortal heath]

THIS disconnect is BS!!!

[lucid dust]

im getting a failed result code 161 while trading anyone know why?

[novel tinsel]

okay thaks

[mystic cave]

How can i change my preference from class discussion?

[sand hamlet]

Channel and roles very very top of server

[rocky sandal]

I mean, I can connect to darkanddarker.com for sure. I will try toggling things and report back. Edit**: McAfee warning through Centurylink (I know) for the first time right now, strange. I installed blacksmith from their website and now there's a warning? weird.

[mystic cave]

I love u

[tight slate]

I keep getting error code 3032, how do I buy the game, I've never made purchases with Xsolla

[novel tinsel]

virustotal give me a "Trojan.KillFiles.mf" alert

[signal meadow]

how do i make a temp voice channel

[tight slate]

Hello, I keep getting error code 3032 when trying to buy with Xsolla, I've never bought anything with Xsolla, is there a fix, idk what to do.

[ornate sand]

how do i fix the stutters?

[frank lotus]

if i purchase the game now will i have it when the full version comes out?

[bleak linden]

Are there any informations about an possible Steam release? Or will this not happen?

[royal nexus]

anyone elss blacksmith installer getting stuck at like 99% downloaded?

[rocky sandal]

Thoguht it was weird to be asked to try connecting to darkanddarker.com again. which was weird because I had to go there to get the launcher, yeah? I go back, Warning from Centurylink about it being a potentially malicious site. I gave them the OK. now it works. This is before toggling the firewalls. Toggled them, I"m in for the first time now, made my character. Good stuff man, thank you.

[tight slate]

Hello, I keep getting error code 3032 when trying to buy with Xsolla, I've never bought anything with Xsolla, is there a fix, idk what to do.

[dull coral]

No problem! Have fun in the dungeons!

[main ridge]

What is this blacksmith launcher I'm hearing about? Should I not be using ChafGames launcher?

[elder tulip]

Chaf is the other place you can buy DaD from. Blacksmith is for the people who bought DaD on the official site

[main ridge]

Thank you.

[raw nova]

probably because of the bug that deletes the entire folder when uninstalling

[spark latch]

why would people buy from 'chafgames' when they can just buy and download it straight from their official website?

[heady burrow]

i keep stuttering in game how do i fix that?

[spark latch]

search the discord theres a youtube vid

[novel tinsel]

i try in the official but give me a troyan alert idk

[minor hollow]

How can I remove the gold from the sacks

[timid rapids]

JUST TO TELL PPL IF YOU EXPERIENCE STUTTERING JUST SWITCH ANTIALIASING TO DLSS OR TURN IT OFF IT FIXED EVERYTHING

[novel tinsel]

oh okay, yes i read something about that

[minor hollow]

Hello guys how can I remove the gold from the pouches

[sly oar]

does anyone know if I can get my characters from chaf games into the blacksmith folder. what is the folder called or is data stored somewhere else for chaf?

[normal hinge]

i got a few quesions is the full game out now? and do i have to purchase the game to play the game right now?

[fierce matrix]

Tried both of those still stuttering

[warped compass]

Stuck on “connecting…” and then it just kicks back to the “welcome adventurer” message. How can I resolve this?

[timid rapids]

it fixed for me im sorry to hear that :/

[spark latch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa3ppCvQGRw this fixed for me

[wide tulip]

choppy, anti is turned off, choppyness did not start until the patch last night. and i crashed for an unreal engine error earlyer. i suspect it has to do with the torch fix but im not sure.

[sly oar]

shit is pissing me off i have to redownload chaf dogshit darker now bc i moved the file apparently IM RAGINGG

[smoky zinc]

anyone know how to fix it when you open the launcher and the program runs yet the launcher doesnt actually open

[bleak talon]

okay i fixed the stuttering with cpu affinity set to realtime/high. and running the game as admin

[median elm]

Blacksmith launcher stopped working suddenly, I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, restarted pc and reinstalled, nothing helps, also it won't create a shortcut after reinstallation as well, anyone having same issue?

[crystal saddle]

no but u not one with this problem

[scenic orbit]

lmao spent 50 bucks for the game to not even launch

[shell mica]

how do you get mana flakes

[warm prairie]

So if we buy the game off one of these websites, IF it ever releases on Steam, can we link the account or get a key for it? I prefer to keep all my games together. Probably too soon to ask this

[dreamy dagger]

Same issue, dont know if someone found a fix or not

[shell wave]

I bought the game on chaf games, is there any way to link it to the blacksmith launcher

[crystal saddle]

@wise siren @smoky zinc dunno if it could help to u but i offed my antivirus reistal and it worked

[flint oxide]

I just did a virus scan on my computer and it found 2 Trojan viruses in the Blacksmith launcher files. Has anyone else run into this?

[smoky zinc]

my antivirus isnt going off tho

[wise siren]

no dice

[upbeat bluff]

Does Judgement (Cleric active skill) affect players with the Skeleton skin??

[proud fjord]

yeah...game is just unplayable with the amount of stutters

[smoky zinc]

my quicksacn showed nothing

[silk hare]

Does player search currently work? Cant find my friend via search.
And does platform like Chafgames or Blacksmith matter?

[upbeat bluff]

search for a fix on discord my guy....

[waxen python]

Use character name, no

[flint oxide]

I did a full scan not quick not sure if that will matter.

[olive pawn]

anyone know why my launcher wont load? even after a uninstall and trying to run admin to still wont load

[wise siren]

@timber mist any status on this issue pls

[woeful cave]

any fix for the stutters?

[upbeat bluff]

search on this discord

[wise siren]

it's a server issue, go on another region

[woeful cave]

hmmm ok

[olive pawn]

launcher wont even load

[fluid goblet]

anyone been able to refund? can't do it on their site as you need a "subject to choose to refund" and no subject is available.

[smoky zinc]

does it goto the login screen, cus that is what happens to me

[wise siren]

make a bug report https://discord.com/channels/988365908009447485/1071628538391830719

[eternal tree]

Anyone gettin stutters today?

[olive pawn]

black smith icon comes up and closes

[scenic pendant]

is there a fix for the chaf games launcher i get " JavaScript error occurred in the main process" when i open it now after it bugged when installing the game

[wise siren]

yep same issue here, I was able to play the game before they pushed the patch out earlier

[keen jetty]

stutters hella bad, none of the clientside solutions seem to be working for me, Guess its time to play on the korean servers

[scenic pendant]

ive already tried uninstalling it and restarting multiple times

[wise siren]

US East was nice and playable for me

[olive pawn]

samme ima just get a refund

[bleak talon]

put cpu affinity to realtime/high and see if that helps

[silent jewel]

why does perseverence "-3 damage ALL sources"- not negate damage from Power of Sacrifice"

at least reduce it by a little, 3 dmaage dot makes no sense with that perk in the mix- it doesnt cost cleric hp but it still cost warlock hp to cast and no heal- so its a bit wild that you take 3 damage dot

[elfin ore]

Do you still a VPN to download the game atm?

[keen jetty]

Yep US East ftw

[finite dust]

Does anyone else experience out of video memory allocation when trying to launch?

[dusty crag]

launcher doesnt work

[wise siren]

[frosty elm]

Good evening, could anyone help me out maybe?
I purchased the game yesterday on the DnD website, now i´ve tried logging in but it says wrong email or password even though i reset the password and used the correct email and the correct new password 100%. Anyone know of this bug or where i can get in touch with the support?

[wet scroll]

i am also having launcher issues, it comes up as black screen, ive tried changing montors and resolutions

[severe prairie]

No we don't get any money back

[thick knoll]

Lmao peep it clearly says if they shut down within a month everyone gets a full refund, nice try tho

[crystal saddle]

where was it said?

[thick knoll]

I’m the terms and conditions when you bought the game, no one ever reads that though

[crystal saddle]

thx

[fluid goblet]

you just said they're shutting it down tomorrow....

[thorn trail]

You mean DaD website? If you went to dnd that may be the problem

[stray gazelle]

If your launcher is not loading you have corrupt files and need to uninstall. restart comp.
Then search for "regedit`‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER –> SOFTWARE –> IRONMACE’ and delete the ‘Blacksmith’ folder. Your files got corrupted due prob due to them restarting server while you were playing.

[jagged lagoon]

Is there any word on what "provisions" are? I am very unsure of whether to get the game purely on this

[void oak]

"server error. please try again" ive had this for like 2 hours now how tf do i fix this? i wanna play the game i purchased smfh

[crystal saddle]

some people wrote that u need to start the game with vpn

[coarse prism]

Did anyone figure out how to stop the stuttering in the game?

[void oak]

im not doing all that or paying for any of that it shouldnt have to come to that. didnt even have to do that for the torrent version playtest 5. is there no youtube videos or anything on how to get the game to work? ive uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times and get the same error if i back out the game and try to reload

[merry garnet]

Whats "worn cloth" and "Maggots" for?

[crystal saddle]

i just gave u an option that helped some of the people with server error problems
they told that this is some territorial problems or etc

@merry garnet only for sail for now
mb letter some features will be

[void oak]

i appreciate the advice

[fluid goblet]

the process of getting a vpn; searching up proton vpn> making a free account > downloading the vpn >connecting to the vpn. the process you described; installed>uninstalled>reinstalled>uninstalled>reinstalled>uninstalled>reinstalled>uninstalled>reinstalled.

[velvet vault]

Would you care to link where you found this information

[coarse prism]

Proton costs money to use

[fluid goblet]

literally a button that says "get proton free" when you make an account, it's right under their payment plans.

[timid rapids]

do you guys know if they will put back stackable bandage and potions ?

[coarse prism]

its not there fior me, it says step 1, payment plan, step 2 create the account, step 3 checkout

[severe prairie]

food

[prime pond]

is there anyone unable to finish their Chaf download?

[severe prairie]

idk i bought it on steam not chaf so cant tell you

[void oak]

i shrugged off my frustration and made an account and it worked. thanks dude BUT I STILL SHOULDNT HAVE TO DO THIS ;-;

[fluid goblet]

I understand, I'm literally trying to refund the game right now due to how bad it is in it's current state, the game doesn't even play the same. But if you want to play the game this is the struggle you gotta go through, or just wait like I am for a refund. You can't even request a refund too because their site won't recognize your product you've bought. And atleast for me I can't even refund it through paypal.

[void oak]

it truly is a struggle tbh they shouldve just waited longer to release it instead releasing it in this state. like whats the point. we get the game but cant even enjoy it for 10 straight minutes. truly a shame

[ornate basalt]

does our stash get wiped every season?

[fluid goblet]

Not to mention we have this guy running around saying the servers are shutting down tomorrow and they've lost their lawsuit to incite panic. This discord server giving me brainrot lmao, the game doesn't help 💀

[void oak]

its alot of smooth brain activities and frustration going around thats for sure

[silent cipher]

how do i use the temporary party vc thing

[brisk sail]

can anyone help me with the launcher not opening?

[void oak]

free acount on proton vpn, connect and then boot up the game

[fluid goblet]

heard you gotta uninstall "blacksmith" and reinstall it. scroll up, someone gave a tutorial on it like 15 mins ago

[brisk sail]

why would i need a vpn to open the launcher

[cunning hollow]

"The map specified on the commandline '/Game/DungeonCrawler/Content/DungeonCrawler/Maps/Dungeon/Modules/Crypt/Edge/Armory/Armory_A' could not be found. Exiting"

Any fix for this? both installers failing to download this file.

[solemn briar]

same issue, my game has a freeze/stutter every 10ish seconds for about 1 second. When i unfreeze ive been hit by mobs most of the times. Never experienced this before today

[severe prairie]

So you can connect, if you don't they will let you refund but vpn = no refund

[shy mortar]

I mean lets be real for a minute. What are the odds any of us will get a dime back if they lose their legal battle. Its a company on the other side of the world and they'd be bankrupt. I'm genuinely curious

[brisk sail]

ive been playing the game for the past like 8 hours, it just crashed and wont open anymore

[fluid goblet]

They're definitely not gonna pay out, but it's only $35 so idk who would really start punching their pillows over that.

[severe prairie]

I paid with visa so my chance is 100%. what did you pay with?

[shy mortar]

I didn't buy it yet. I'm not about to buy a game that might shut down without refund in a month lol

[west mulch]

i cant play the game at all, i downloaded it and i just opened it for the first time and i keep getting the same error code can someone helop me?

[smoky zinc]

i mean IRONMACE has a strong case against their opponent, so i dont see a problem atm

[bleak talon]

try setting cpu affinity to high/realtime

[severe prairie]

Oh you're a lawyer that has access to the court docs?

[unborn mantle]

Why do I need to change my name?

[fluid goblet]

their court docs are public information 💀 jesus christ you need to be banned from this server.

[stray gazelle]

anyone know what the debris app is in blacksmith folder? can we run file integrity from folder?

[autumn oyster]

Anyone know how i can make ruins run better? I get lag like every 3 sec

[pure belfry]

little short on cash this month does xsolla accept payment in installments :V?

[solemn briar]

everyone does bro its not your fault its a game related issue

[fluid goblet]

I had this issue then I swapped to US east (Im from west) and didn't have it anymore, are you rubber banding or is it an actual pc problem on your side?

[mortal inlet]

where can one make suggestions?

[autumn oyster]

rubber banding

[fluid goblet]

Try switching to the closest server that isn't your original one, see if that helps, It helped me.

[burnt badger]

did they fix the issue where some people cannot even log into the blacksmith launcher due to the server?

[autumn oyster]

Gotcha im from east so ill try west thanks

[patent yacht]

Everyone has that same issue where you get rollbacks every three seconds on your first few games, right? It's awful.

[austere night]

This game look sooo good how can i play ?

[brisk ice]

quit and relaunch launcher and try again if you're stuck on Connecting

[fluid goblet]

they have a link to their site in #📢announcements , You have to purchase the game from their site (Of course after you make an account) and download the launcher then login using your info. Be wary that people are having a lot of issues currently, so don't expect the game to be in perfect shape when you play it/ even download it.

[glass finch]

anyone else lags every few seconds?
was normal last night, today lagging every few seconds.

[smoky zinc]

they posted their case a while ago lmao

[golden tiger]

what do i do if the launcher itself won't even open (game is installed as of last night, just won't open at all today)

[wet scroll]

same

[fluid goblet]

Ignore him, I unironically want him to get banned. if you scroll up in here he's literally just shit posting tryna trigger responses.

[solemn briar]

Jup a lot of people have it, game related issue

[frozen linden]

do altars of sacrifice respawn

[smoky zinc]

fair enough

[golden tiger]

go into the folder, run the Blacksmith Bootstrap and then run the launcher itself, worked for me

[severe prairie]

If you're so confident lets bet on the outcome, since you're so sure and have the "docs" on your side you should have no problem giving me 100:1 odds right

[small ingot]

if i remember correctly yes but we dont know the patches since the last playtest

[fluid goblet]

btw I posted a response to this problem a couple messages above yours, scroll up.

[glass finch]

alright thxs

[frozen linden]

ty

[severe prairie]

lets bet 100:1 odds, If i lose i pay you 10 but if you lose you pay me 1000 okay? it should be free $10 for you no reason not to take the bet since you're so sure ^^

[pale lichen]

Yep, 3090 and 13900k with 64gb of ram and 24gb of vram and cant launch the game because of that issue.

[fluid goblet]

<@&1019888848773328936> can we do something about this @severe prairie guy? he's just tryna trigger people and post misinformation.

[smoky zinc]

for some reason it only works if i run it as admin

[rose tartan]

do we know if they plan on increasing the max amount of characters we can make? As it stands now you can't make 1 of each playable class, but I understand that some people just dump time into a few classes to make them good. I play with some friends and enjoy mixing things up and trying the new classes

[sturdy garnet]

Does anyone have a fix for the stutter if I got the game on chaf?

[past pond]

I bought on DarkandDarker.com and requested a refund, but I saw someone mention xsolla which is where I got the receipt. Do I have to put in the refund request through xsolla and not the "official" site?

[severe prairie]

just do it through visa, its instant

[tranquil monolith]

anyone else getting horrific fps drops

[past pond]

Oh I'll absolutely go through my credit card if the sites don't work. Just wanna go through official channels first before hitting the "f-you" button XD

[severe prairie]

update gpu drivers

[dapper jetty]

Whats up with chaf being awol? Was in communication with them, asked for a refund and then silence...

[bleak talon]

everyone run the exe as admin, it helped me

[cedar urchin]

I tried all the tips that were pinned to fix the stutter and it's still stuttering

[fluid goblet]

you swapped servers in game? that's what I did, it fixed it. I played on east coast (Im a west coaster) and it was fine on east, never tried swapping back to west coast tho

[cedar urchin]

I did not

[rugged perch]

any word on if the high roller leaderboard will get added earlier than the timer in game? And if the timer is accurate, is the game tracking our stats until that timer reaches 0?

[proper fiber]

is it normal that my game is not loading in?

[cedar urchin]

So for you it was lag stutter?

[fluid goblet]

Stuttering/ rubber banding.

[red furnace]

Need 2 guy to old the line

[median dock]

any chance we can upgrade to the hold the line version? the game runs smooth for me, so i wanna upgrade if possible

[cedar urchin]

Tried switching, still same

[main ridge]

how do you emote in dark and darker 😄

[tranquil mango]

still not working for me

[granite spade]

if we purchase the early access copy from chafgames, would we be able to transfer our purchase and progression over to steam in the event that it returns to the platform?

[valid needle]

did you guys fix the stutters?

[final mist]

Where can we submit feedback on the game? One of the posts says to let you know how we feel about the in-game shop, but doesn't specify how or where.

[vale nymph]

anyone stuttering even after doing the fixees?

[jade thunder]

any "fix" is useless - its gotta be on their end

[ancient vault]

With console dark and darker being apart of the plan from ironmace, do we know if it will be crossplay or if crossplay will be toggleable?

[vague spruce]

what stat increases how quickly bard plays instrument?

[vale radish]

(EU) Trustly purchases:

I highly recommend not paying with Trustly, especially if you want to try to use online banking and you are from EU.
Support told me it takes avg. 1-5 days processing time. A lot of confirmed charges and all accoutns are still on "not purchased" and can't play.

They won't manually activate either when showing bank transactions.

[ancient vault]

i ahd stuttering in 1 run, i restarted the game, and the stuttering went away havent had any stuttering since, could be something like a memory leak hope this helps ❤️

[ashen swan]

When people say they have stuttering issues, do they mean fps or rubberbanding

[ocean latch]

None of the fixes work. We are going to have to wait until they fix it on their side.

Just got back from work, try to launch the well.. launcher Blacksmith.. puts the logo up then in task manger it closes it's self out.. Any idea how to fix?

[lean abyss]

chaf launcher wont install it says internet unavailable any solutions?

[final mist]

@final mist I love to support the devs, love the game. But a paid game with paid classes is not appropriate. I bought the founders edition, honestly, just because I want to support however I can. Creative skins, emotes or in-game cosmetic items should be the only thing in the store, with the exception being large game content "expansions".

[tranquil mango]

why all of a sudden the blacksmith launcher wont work due to anti virus now. this didnt happen 6 hours ago and now it wont let me in the launcher

[uncut oyster]

Is one download option better then the other or safer

[lunar nimbus]

@autumn shore No one knows when we just know its wiping on a regular basis.

[severe prairie]

Every 24 hours full wipe

[pale lichen]

For anyone experiencing the "Out of Memory" Issue, load graphics card overclocks to default and close EVGA Precision (or MSI Afterburner) and if that doesn't work, reinstall the game to your C drive.
One of those fixed it for me, start with the first suggestion then resort to reinstalling it into C drive (You only have to reinstall the game not the launcher).
You can reopen your overclock program after the game launches.

[autumn shore]

thanks

[frosty fable]

can anybody help me with the no internet available for chaf launcher download?

[runic tree]
