[2022] First hotfix for PlayStation is rolling out now

Originally posted by Musibat24-7

So the issue we are facing where we can’t invite or join our friends is not part of this patch?

The EA battle front issue resolution never worked. And the issue was never fixed. Infact the issue EA has with the new battle field is even worse.

Btw congrats on launching on PlayStation. Rock and stone.

Other than this invite and joining issue there are not many bugs in the game. Nearly flawless launch. Impressive.

Suggestion can you make the menus respond more responsive cuz atm it acts really weird. E.g can’t move they menu with R1 n R2 unless you click on the above section. And this it’s hard to change volume or sensitivity cuz the bars won’t move with left or right but we have to click on the bar as if we are using a mouse.

But that all can wait. Please give us a hot fix that allows us to invite our friends or join them.

Rock and stone!

This didn't change for me (EU).
Yesterday every server was still in the US and only "far" servers were found.

Maybe I have an idea: Why does connecting to people's games who I don't know work, but connecting to my PS Buddies not? My suggestion is, that it must be sth with being friends in PS AND maybe because friends are normally together in PS chat BEFORE they play! Option 1: inviting friends without PS chat (nobody is connected to PS chat) Option 2 : creating a game where friends join WITHOUT PS chat active Option 3 : de friend a buddy, create a game and send him the mission name, so that he can join via mission board.

I do think, that option 2 can work ... I can test it later - work is waiting 😅

Question. What method would be best in giving feedback and pointing out bugs in the game for devs to look into.

Thank you for the quick response.

Any way we can help? We can provide you with info if you need from our end.

I might be way out of line and too new to the game to provide any sort of relevant feedback....

But if you have issues with inviting friends, my friends and I noticed some similar issues with Tribes of Midgard.

Some friends couldn't join me if they were sent an individual invite, but COULD join if they went into an invite dropped into a party. Some, had the inverse issue.

Might not be relevant in this case, but may be something worth trying, since at least on PS4/PS5 there seems to be some slight difference between getting Game Invite (sent to an individual player), and 'posting' a session invite into a Party's Text Chat and having party members join that way.

Okay, very bad news! What we tested: Platform: PS4 and PS4 pro Started the game without chat active. I started an open server without password - friend couldn't connect De friended friend, restarted console, restarted game, created open game without password - my de friended buddy searched for my game - couldn't connect. Important: My friend couldn't connect to any game I can at least connect to other games

This is very, very strange .... We don't have any problems with other games.

Maybe someone can also test other possibilities, but it looks like it is not depending on settings in-game, because we nearly do not change anything (except controls) .

Good luck ... This seems to be a hard one and I hope you guys are at least trying to solve it

My wife and I have been trying to play together online using a PS4 and a PS5. We've had no luck. Tried unfriending her, using a different router, using the PS4 version of the game, her trying to connect to my lobby through the server list. It's obvious that there is an issue with online play.

I reported ever since the update I was unable to join friend invites. Even today I still couldn’t get in. My setup is ps5 on my network and PS4 on my network I tried rebooting it and adding removing everything and I still couldn’t get a co-op game with my son. Now heres the interesting thing my router is dual band the PS4 is on 2.5ghz and my ps5 is on 5ghz when I changed my ps5 to 2.5ghz IT WORKED. after 2 days me and my son can finally ROCK AND STONE again I hope this helps anyone still with problems.

All of you having issues connecting, you can join each other with the following -

Both have DRG running and disbanded groups

Through the playstation interface Person A creates a party with Person B.

Go back to the friends list on Playstation, Person A selects person Bs. They should be showing as playing Deep Rock Galaxy.

This will then launch you into the game with your friend.

Either that or randomly started working for us but we were having issues last night and this morning trying to play

To the devs, is it an issue with Conflicting party join groups? Where if the players are already in a playstation group then its fine?

I don’t know if anyone will have a fix for me but I am on PS5 and when I start this game up I get screen tears for about 30 seconds or more and then eventually it goes fine.. and the same goes with rocket league. Everything else is perfectly normal and loads like normal but these two are strange.. anyone got an idea?

Maybe i have sth for you!

We now tried over half an hour and found out that we (located in Germany) are NOT able to join GER Missions!!!

We could both jump quite without problems on an AT mission or an PL mission, where the host was from a different country then we are.

Platform: PS4pro and PS5
1st try: Invite via PS Network -> connection failed
2nd try: My buddy created a mission, i found it and try to join -> connection failed
3rd try: i invited my buddy and after that created a mission where he tried to join -> connection failed
4th tray: my buddy and I tried to join a DE mission -> connection failed (for both)
5th try: my buddy joined an AT mission and i joined directly with hin -> SUCCESS
6th try: we tried to join each other via PS network invite -> connection failed
7th try: we tried to join a DE mission again -> connection failed
8th try: we tried to join an AT mission again -> SUCCESS
9th try: we tried to join an PL mission -> SUCCESS

My conclusion, that somehow it depends on GER player connecting to GER mission OR it depends on same country people connect to same country missions.

Also what was important:
We once failed to join a AT mission, because we forgot to abandon the team - the error message was different with big red letters: CONNECTION FAILED

Hope you guys can do sth with it :-)

"IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS CONNECTING TO GAMES: This is a fairly known but annoying bug for all PS games..."

HAHAHAHAAH WHAT?! No this isn't a problem with "all" PS games. Jesus tap dancing christ your game has major network and crashing issues. Also, when you get dropped 5 minutes before the end of the mission with zero chance to reconnect it is just awful to not get any XP or resources. Why? Because your game is buggy af. Bugs.. bugs everywhere!

And THIS is a desperate statement to shift the blame away from your dev team. Shame on you. Roughly 200 games working fine on my PS4 but yours does not. This is not a Sony problem.

The ability to make a room with friends went away after the update a few weeks ago.

We can join a public lobby fine but that's not what we want to do.

Fun game that I'd love to sink hundreds of hours into with my friends but for $0 I guess I'm getting what I paid for :(

So, I originally came here for a solution/information about my PS4/PSN-friends Bug but your reply ignored every word of that and focused solely on the defensive and pedantic framing of your original post. If that's what you'd rather waste time on, I'm happy to oblige :)

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS CONNECTING TO GAMES: This is a fairly known but annoying bug for all PS games

This is not a list, it's a statement. It's also the only reply you offer for people that are having problems connecting to games. You then blame my router/modem (which both work fine) instead of your code (which does not work very well at the moment).

There are 2 more blame shifts in your post:

Crash caused by impatient dwarves spamming X...Serverlist pretending every game is in the US

I know you tried to cute this down but blaming user behavior for a corner case you didn't anticipate is poor form. Acting like your code can "pretend" is a cop-out too.

There are 4 bugs listed here and 75% of them have a lame excuse tied to it. 2 of them blaming the customers directly.
