FAQ

There's 2 folders in redist, 2008 and 2010 if I open them i see x64, and x86. Also if I go to Uninstall a Program, there is a lot of different Visual C++ with different years on the end of them like 2008, 2009 etc. I'm not sure which one to uninstall because I don't want to mess anything up. And this seems to be the only explanation for the problem but I don't even understand it

 

you dont need to uninstall them. just leave it. it doesnt conflict with one another (i dont think)
just install the latest version

 

I want to export the save files to a new drive, where do they exist?
Is it via Steam and doing a backup of games or can I manually copy them to my new drive?

 

If you go into "Program Files (x86 on some computers) > Steam > steamapps > common > Risk of Rain", you should find the save.ini file and it's backup file.

Might also want to take the Prefs file with you.

 

There are a number of threads in the steam forum, and a few here i've seen about the FPS issues, but (and forgive me if i missed them) no word from the developers on anything else besides these two things. My friend cannot play the game at all, as his frames are not even reaching 30 and everything moves at half speed. Me and another friend connected to his multiplayer and it was rampant with warping enemies and them taking no damage. Also at the end, the teleporter countdown was finished for us but enemies kept spawning until the slower host's countdown had finished. Again, half speed.

He has tried every suggestion we have seen from scouring both forums. Every combination of having the controller plugged in and not, and doing so after changing settings and restarting the computer, even reinstalling the game a few times. He claims after a fresh install it one time was at 60 and played normally, but upon exiting and reopening it went back to the unplayable < 30 frames. Is there anything else he can do? Are the developers looking into these issues? Would you like me to get his computer specs? Please help. I'd be very sad to hear "gamemaker just sucks on some machines, sorry" as a final excuse. And really question why it's still in use if that's the case.

Update: He did another reinstall, removed the controller and restarted the computer, then reinstalled and played without ever plugging in a controller and it is running okay. I hope this is not the method required to play the game each time he plugs a controller into his computer. That'd be pretty poor.

 

Are we allowed to record and post videos to youtube of Risk of Rain?

 

do you not read the FAQ?

 

Well this is the FAQ page on the forums which is the first place i saw it and figured this was a complete list.

 

So I'm have this same problem, I've been looking everywhere for an answer, have you and your friend found one?
I've posted my issue here: http://community.playstarbound.com/...-reports-for-risk-of-rain-1-0-2.32529/page-27 too but as of now, no solutions have come up.

 

I recently reformatted my computer and when I launched the game all my progress was gone. Can someone help.

 

Save files are stored on your local hard disk, so if you didn't make a backup of your files before formatting I'm afraid you'll have to start over.
Alternatively, you can try to manually restore your progress by editing the save.ini file yourself.

 

anyone know which ports to forward for Risk of Rain?

 

Default port is 11100, but you can change the port within the game's online co-op menu (I'm pretty sure)

 

sooooo quick question, i saw somewhere in here that there were plans for a ps console release, is that still in the works? or has the idea been scraped altogether?

 

It's still in the works, right now they're focused on getting the GM:S port to a state that they can release to us. Though, the port is also a step in making the PS versions.

 

forgive my ignorance, or maybe just a lapse in knowledge, on the matter, but GM:S?

 

game make studio. the game is being ported from game maker 8.1. GM:S is a better and much more powerful engine

 

ok thanks, lapse in knowledge. silly me, but yeah, hopefully things will sort themselves out, preferably (for me at least) to my own selfish wishes

 

I have another Problem. My game crashes the moment I start it. I can see the process starts and instantly closes again
