Danger of Rain 2 has only recently recieved its Seekers of the Storm DLC replace, which you should purchase proper now. Nonetheless, it might be in your greatest curiosity to carry off on doing so, as the main replace has introduced a plague of fairly critical bugs and flaws to the sport. A recreation that, till lately, was in tip-top form.
Bugs embody however aren’t restricted to random deaths, framerate points, clipping textures, lacking textures, lacking teleporters, lacking highlights on objects, the velocity of sure strikes being tied to border charge (a traditional), sphere assaults from vagrants being invulnerable… It is a complete factor!
Why has this occurred? Effectively, the buck seems to cease with Gearbox. This business large purchased the rights of Danger of Rain from the unique growth workforce Hopoo Video games roughly a yr in the past, and this Seekers of the Storm DLC is the primary content material replace for the sport that has been solely developed by Gearbox workers. Do not take my phrase for it – Gearbox CEO and magic fanatic Randy Pitchford said “The DLC is solely a Gearbox effort” on Twitter just a few days in the past.
This might be dangerous sufficient for Gearbox, however you have additionally received authentic co-creator of Danger of Rain 2 mourning the state of the sport on Discord following this DLC’s launch. What’s worse is that, as they weren’t an proprietor of Hopoo Video games, they did not see a payout from the sale. However the overwhelming majority of the code in Danger of Rain 2 is theirs – code that’s now being tweaked and infrequently tousled with the brand new DLC.
Some gamers have even tried creating fixes themselves, utilizing mods that try and treatment what issues they’ll. Nonetheless, no matter how a lot followers resolve to patch up, the state of the DLC leaves a lot to be desired.
Gearbox laid off a subsantial variety of workers following the businesses’ departure from Embracer Group, although the total scope of what positions and the precise variety of impacted workers stay unclear even to this present day. Did this have an effect on the Seekers of the Storm DLC? Who can say, nevertheless it’s one more dangerous search for Gearbox in a yr that is proving particularly testing for the corporate.
This is hoping the Seekers of the Storm DLC will get fastened quickly.
