[Bug] RoR2 is totally unplayable.

Jump to Best Response

In Risk of Rain 2, after inviting a friend the screen stays black for he host while the participant gets a bugged character selection screen:

Neither invite nor quick play works.

Single player works sometimes? At least after restarting the game it works but after leaving the buggy character screen it loads endlessly with a black screen as well.

Simulacrum is also bugged:

The game hangs if you change characters:

Good news everyone! This issue should now be resolved. Additionally, the engineering team is working towards speeding up load times for the game as well. Thanks for your patience!

I have sent a bug report to Gearbox. I'll keep you posted.

 

Also: I could not edit the message because one of the links contains a string of numbers that is caught by the word filter and thus will not allow me to save any changes. It tells me to change the link...

I've also sent a bug to gearbox, it's been active since at least last Friday. Have you also bought the expansion? 

Also the character hang goes away if you wait 5mins or so (I only noticed this by accident).

What is very perturbing is the total lack of any acknowledgement from Hopoo Games.

 

It is very unprofessional of them.

Just tried to play some RoR2 (I don't have the expansion yet), ran into the same issue as you guys. 
Game loads fine into Main Menu but when you try to actually go into Single Player or Eclipse you get a black screen with a (working) in-game mouse cursor. 

When you actually wait ~4 minutes the game finally loads. WTF. This took like 3 seconds before. When you try to go back to the main menu: black screen again. 
Clearly bugged. Is noone testing these things before releasing them? This is a single hardware platform, the usual compatibility excuses don't fly.

Same thing for me, everything exactly as you described. I had written about it in the stadia discord also. It started happening on Friday August 12, when I played on Thursday August 11th it was fine..

I hope it gets fixed soon!

The RoR2 bugs made it to the news: https://9to5google.com/2022/09/07/risk-of-rain-2-stadia-multiplayer-broken/

 

Any Stadia officials reading these forums?

It would be really nice if you could make sure that the games you are selling to us are, you know, actually working. 

RoR2 is broken for a month now.

Hey all, quick heads up that our engineering team is working with the devs on getting this one fixed.
