Over the past few days we’ve been reviewing feedback surrounding the launch of Risk of Rain 2: Seekers of the Storm. Thank you as always to the incredible community of players who have come out to support us and provide insights which are helping to resolve some unexpected issues with the deployment of the latest DLC.
We’re working on a PC patch.
First, we want to share our plan for how we're addressing these concerns. We’ve been able to reproduce many of the bugs you’ve brought to our attention. We’re working as swiftly as possible to get fixes delivered to you. These will be shipped on PC first with consoles to follow as quickly as we can. Please see the sections below for some specific work we’re doing around the console releases for Risk of Rain 2 on Xbox Series S|X and PlayStation 5.
While this patch won't solve every issue you’re running into, we’re prioritizing the community reported issues as best we can. Please continue to submit bug reports on Discord, with video if possible. Reach out to our customer support team if you need help.
With that, here's the initial list of bugs we're targeting for a PC patch soon. Keep an eye out for more info!
- Many elements of the game are affected by a bug that leads to their behaviors changing depending on a player’s FPS. These elements included physics, attack speed, and movement. This issue has a planned fix with the upcoming patch.
- Final bosses are meant to be difficult, but Mithrix becoming invincible when stealing your Warped Echo or Chronic Expansion is probably a bit much. We plan to fix this issue.
- We plan to fix Item highlights failing in various shops & adaptive chests.
- With a planned change you’ll no longer be able to escape Shattered Abodes, at least in the ways we didn't intend, in the next patch.
- We plan to restore the visual indicators of taking damage on HUDs.
- An issue that allowed players to get stuck while smelling the flowers on Reformed Altar has a planned fix.
- We plan to fix an issue where Longstanding Solitude would sometimes show pinged interactables at 2x cost.
- We plan to fix an issue with the Teleporter spawning inside geometry on Rallypoint Delta.
- Acrid's Utility Skills, both Caustic Leap & Frenzied Leap were not dealing damage properly. Acrid should be fully back in action with the next patch.
- We plan to fix an issue with a portal spawning inside geometry in Bulwark’s Ambry.
- We plan to fix healthbars being slow to update.
- We plan to fix the low framerate in Halcyonite's spawn animation.
- We plan to fix an issue where Seeker's Sojourn ability would not work for non-host players in a multiplayer game.
- We plan to extend the pickup radius on Chef's food.
- We plan to fix a visual issue with Halcyon Beacon’s texture upon activation on Gilded Coast.
- We plan to realign Loader's Knuckleboom VFX.
- We plan to fix an issue where Survivor VFX in the character select screen overlapped with the Ready button.
Regional pricing adjusted on Steam
We've worked with our partners at Steam to adjust the pricing of Seekers of the Storm in select markets. The new pricing more closely matches prices from Survivors of the Void. This change is already in effect. Those who have already purchased the content should request a refund through Steam and repurchase at the updated price once they see it has been adjusted.
PS5 Upgrade path problem has been fixed
PlayStation players looking to take advantage of the free PlayStation 5 upgrade for Risk of Rain 2 and Risk of Rain 2: Survivors of the Void are now able to initiate the download for the correct price: FREE. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
PS5 Main Menu problem being investigated
We’ve also seen reports that some players are experiencing issues getting past the main menu on PS5. The team is aware of this issue and working on a fix. We’ll let everyone know more as soon as possible.
Xbox main menu bug resolved
Thank you to those who reported the issue that was preventing players with prior Risk of Rain 2 save files from progressing past the main menu. We released a patch to address these concerns on the morning of August 30. Additionally, a rare issue where a second or guest account could overwrite the first logged user's save data has been resolved. Thank you for your patience!
We deeply appreciate your feedback and support. We look forward to providing more news as soon as possible.
