Better question, how do you know what they have and haven't done? I sure have no idea what does exactly happen in their offices and in their code. And some bugs tend to betray some really unfortunate inter-dependencies that were left in your code -- it is entirely possible that the bug appears outwardly the same, but the mechanics in the nitty-gritty of the code are different.

You are correct. For example in this patch, I had two separate bugs I thought were the same. One said "sometimes islands have no grass", the other said "sometimes Ramsgate has no grass".

The island one was caused by a bug in the asset baking pipeline that sometimes removed the grass data from the built island landscapes. But after fixing that, the city was still broken!

The city one turned out to be because at the main menu we ping our servers around the world to determine your latency, and a bug caused some of those pings to time out, which blocked up the threadpool for tens of seconds, so no worker threads were available to compute grass data, long enough to get through the loading screen into the city.

Nearly the same bug, with two completely different causes in completely different areas of code (hell, one was game code, one was tool code!)

There is no new cause. Bugs don't reappear out of nowhere unless you mess with stuff related to them, which they haven't done. The only plausible cause is that they're cycling patch teams working off of separate builds, which would be very embarrassing. Why don't you go read up on the bugs in question and stop wasting your time defending the poor devs with an unloaded gun?

Bug unpredictably appear when we change seemingly unrelated things. For example, we lost grass in city because a latency-checking server in Asia stopped responding, and enabling async loading of some weapons caused players to stop animating properly in city.

Also, sometimes we have to make fundamental architectural changes to underlying systems to support new features, which risks knock-on bugs across the board. We do our best to catch as many as possible, and we are trying to walk the fine line between new features and stability.

Wow, this latter one is fascinating :D

Client-server comms are always so hard to get right in the first place, and I would have never guessed a simple ping to servers could block the entirety of the grass from rendering.

I bet you had a fun time finding that one! /s

Yeah that one took me a day and a half to track down. It was especially bad since it only happened on Switch (tons of threads in the PC threadpool) so iterating was painfully slow. It also blocking high-res textures from streaming in, so everything looked like mud for a bit.

But man, the feeling of finally nailing the bug is so good, especially when it's that hard to track down.

The best part was, we just fixed the servers, and the bug went away for everyone instantly! Didn't even make the patch notes. Normally I don't get to see my bug fixes live for 2-3 weeks!

Update on repeaters?

In both Nayzaga and Stormclaw encounters, Shock Bolts cannot be shot with Repeaters (tested with Twin Suns during Blaze Escalation, multiple encounters of both aforementioned behemoths)

This is a known issue, but unfortunately we couldn't get a good fix in time for 1.2.3 (we tried!). We're testing a fix now for the next patch.

I don't see Riftstalker losing his hitbox when he comes out of the portal in the patch notes or list of known bugs. It really should be fixed soon. Clip for reference.

I'll follow up on this, thanks!

They probably mean the text will line up with the background better near the bottom.

Correct, this line refers to fixing the alignment to the board prop itself.

It is not a bug, and it would be nice of them to finally issue a definitive statement -- but even then, people would still ask all the time.

This is a deliberate choice by the developer to cease rotation for the foreseeable future and instead have them be a package of early, useful cells.

Correct, this is currently an intentional decision not to rotate the Middleman's selection, not a bug.

Nothing changed on switch XD no torga hammer, no elite chamber, hammer can't interrupt. Dont know what happened

It looks like your post here was from before the patch released, which was 10AM PT today. Are you still seeing these issues with the update?

Thanks for adding the key remapping fixes! I'm just curious will there ever be support for remapping all of the buttons? I had to use .ini file tweaks as described in this post, and some things still don't work quite right (like I can't interact in town with the gamepad have to use the keyboard for that).

Not something we're actively working on at the moment as it would require a significant rework of inputs due to how the engine works. The feedback is heard though, just a matter of priorities :)

Nice! A 338 MB patch on PC!

Thank you very much for keeping your patch sizes reasonable! Coming from Modern Warfare with its insane 30 GB patches (one just dropped yesterday) Dauntless is a breath of fresh air! Thanks for saving bandwidth!

Glad to hear it, we do our best to keep patch sizes as small as we can!

Disappointed that repeaters still cannot shoot lightning orbs back for Stormclaw and Nayzaga. Is this being worked on?

Yep, we're working on this - see my post above :)

You know what? I've been on the fence about making my first cash shop purchase and this pushed me over the edge! I just bought my first in-game purchase to help you guys out. I think that it's great that you're bandwidth conscious especially for those of us who live in the rural areas.

Proud to be a paying customer now! Thank you very much and keep up the great work!

\o/ Thank you for your support, hope you picked up something super cool!

The Vault rotates to new items every week on Thursdays. This week there was a brief delay with a couple of slots populating, but they should be all there now!

Does anyone play this game on Xbox as I never find matches or people to play with????????

It shouldn’t take you long to find a team for almost any hunt in the game, no.

Can you check in your Account (I think Privacy) settings on your Xbox to make sure you have cross-play enabled? If you do and you’re still seeing issues, please get in touch with Dauntless Support on the website and we’ll see if there’s something else weird going on.

Cool, glad the Devs are active on this board. Thanks for all the work you guys are putting in.

Thanks so much for your support!

You still missed the mark completely on the map and hunt screen key binds.

Hi, we are planning more improvements here, so I’d love your feedback here to pass on to the team - what are you looking for with the binds here that we’re not currently enabling?
