I'm hoping someone can help because I can't continue the game and I want to experience the end game stuff

Actually I fixed this two minutes after posting. On the Xbox version, I hit the button to change profile; this takes you to a screen saying "press any button," and if you do, it'll ask you to sign in with your xbox account. Just alt f4 from that screen. Don't press any button. Just alt f4. This leaves Grounded on xbox in a logged out state. Then you can open Grounded on Steam and it logs you in correctly.

I did a lot of narrowing down to isolate this but I believe that if you've played Grounded 2 on Game Pass, you're permanently locked out of doing any multiplayer on Steam. I have played a lot of Grounded 2 with a friend on PC through Game Pass and saw that it was available on Steam for $30, so I bought it and went to transfer my save. But I cannot even access the multiplayer menu; the name at the top left of the menu screen reflects that my xbox account is signed in and linked (it shows my xbox name, not my steam name). I get a screen saying I have to sign into xbox, then a load screen, then it goes back to the main menu. If I disable crossplay, I get the same screen; if I enable crossplay after that, the game gets stuck in an infinite load screen. I created a new xbox account and had that logged in when I started Grounded 2 on steam. The menu screen reflects that I am logged into this new xbox account (that's never played grounded 2) and lets me proceed to the multiplayer menu. So I think I have narrowed it down to some kind of authentication issue, maybe on Xbox's end; I think Grounded 2 on Steam tries to log into Xbox, but because I'm already logged in on Xbox, it bugs out and takes me back to the menu screen.

Same here, ive bought it twice now and it keeps going back to ranger station

As you can see in the screenshot, my ant buggy is invisible. I could not get on. I could not access the inventory. I could not send it to the nest. I was riding my buggy when I saved at the edge of that nail. I loaded that save after falling, and when I got back in I was off my buggy, and it was invisible/inaccessible. Later, I had a second ant buggy in the nest, and after summoning it, I could not get it to go back to the nest. I opened up the nest and my original buggy was there, so I summoned it. I could return my original to the nest, but not my second one. I saved my game and reloaded, and my second buggy disappeared from everywhere. I had my original back, and could summon it no problem, but the second was gone. I don't really need help getting it back. I just thought it was worth reporting.

In the screenshot I am attempting to go down the stairs. This is a single wall high stairwell using grass stairs, the slanted clover roof, and the pine walls. It would not allow me to go down the stairs unless I crouched. You can see there is plenty of space above my character's head. I attempted this with the slanted thatch roof, and it also would not let me through unless I crouched.

Kinda creepy tbh. Been wearing ladybug armor and created the sizzling armor set today for getting the firepit weapon. After equipping the sizzling circlet head gear, my characters face decided to appear on the back of my head. Now when I run around in game, even after saving and leaving, my face stays on the back of his head. Its like hes watching me lol

Really, really cool find. Would've been an awesome introduction, fitting fampyr vibes at the very least. Her intro convo is in the 20_splintered_reef folder so maybe that's where she would've been found around. this made me remember the Fig campaign stretch goal that would've made her a full companion that we never got

Since you’re on PC and using a controller, try pressing a key on the keyboard and going back to the controller. My Steam Deck (which is basically a linux computer) sometimes does the same thing with Grounded 2; all control pad button inputs stop working until I press one of the rear buttons I have bound to a keyboard control for hot deposit or my hotpouch slots. Once I hit a “keyboard control” when I press any regular controller input it goes right back to normal. For some reason the game seems to get weird under these circumstances but I honestly haven’t been able to track down anything super consistent.

I am loving the game so far! Pretty awesome! I would like to make a suggestion from Grounded 1 that never got added: Cicadas as an enemy boss and cicada nymphs as bugs you can find crawling in the ground like the grub worms and they could offer tier 2 armor and weapons while the Cicada boss offers tier 3 armor and looks really cool!

Loaded up the latest build as of 8/9/2025 on PC (Gamepass), and while playing encountered an error that prevented me from exiting the menu. I went into the menu to equip a torch while fighting lawn mites (forgot the quick menu exists from the D-pad), and was unable to exit the menu. Died to to the mites. Single-player game, medium difficulty; new to the game (not the series) and first time posting in this forum; I could not immediately locate a search function in the forum, so my apologies if this is a documented bug that's been reported already.

Finished Twinkling Watermelon. I actually liked it. That time travel thing came out of the left field, I did *not* expect that one at all. But then the first episode and such started to make sense, because I was *really* confused for a while with those characters. Thought it was funny how in those shows they sometimes name drop famous bands, like "we will be the Coldplay of X" ... and then they play their music and it is nothing like Coldplay, hell it's not even remotely the same genre. Why can't they commit? It's always terribly generic and mushy k-pop slob.

Have encountered the same issue. Have bought it 3 extra times now, thinking I just died and didn't save after the other purchases. I've spent a total of 6000 science for this one perk since it's 1500 to unlock and have made the purchase 4 times. I should have realized it was a glitch because I had already used some pebbles materials on one of my outposts

Currently it seems like the buggy dismount trigger when entering a Lab is when you're close enough for the Lab door to open, which is super annoying when fighting near a lab door, or even walking. I build my first base around the first lab door, and when I walk on a base floor above the door, it causes me to dismount my buggy and sometimes makes the buggy disappear back to the nest. The Dismount trigger should be moved to actual door threshold instead of in the vicinity of the door or when close enough for the door to automatically open.

ESDF user here, hard bound keys (E to gather on Buggy) are stopping me from playing. I don't want to refund and buy again later so I'm just kinda chilling...

When falling off the buggie from a small distance it immediately kills player.

+1 to this. I would definitely like to see a virtual boundary line for Hot Storage and building from storage. This will get to be a major pain for larger base builds.

After falling from a high place, I fall off the buggie and immediately die even from a small drop. Any fix?

I'm sure the agreement will be upheld by Russia as they did the Budapest Memorandum. I.e. not. Sorry, but trusting in Putin to be satisfied by his conquests is optimistic thinking on your part. More likely he'll need a peace interlude for his military to upgrade.

So I have some insight but only for PC users. But my friend had the same problem and he updated his BIOS and now the multiplayer is working for him hope this info can help others

Since the last update the dot and circle pointer while aiming/shooting arrows (3rd person view) keeps disappearing while shooting and arrows then fly off in weird directions. Some resources are not dropping - gathering milk tufts and chunks after chopping milk weeds nothing drops - no resources, it's the same with 1 in 5 dandelions, also gappening with marble/quartz and spicy chunks. That's all it's happened with so far.

Same here. It has happened on Xbox around a dozen times on buggie and off.

Sorry I don't know how to edit to put an update, so I'm doing it this way. I was able to find a save where I still had the weapon, although as I already suspected more than 29 in-game days already had passed. I did make a standard copy of that save to have it still if I'd want to go back that far some day, but since I've also acquired 4 of the other unique weapons and did a lot of other thigs in the meantime so I'm not sure if I'm gonna go back that far for just that weapon. It would be nice to have them all (since that's kinda the point of collecting them, right), but I'm not really in the mood at this moment to go back almost 30 in-game days because of a bug that is not my fault. I hope there will be a fix for it soon. Until then I agree with previously mentioned work arounds/preventive measures and try to always at all times keep at least 3 or more slots free in your inventory. This way when these circumstances may occur again there is room in your inventory for your weapon to move into. Thanks for helping! Ps. damn the last update really messed a lot of things up tbh.

Particularly in combat I get a huge FPS drop for a few moments whenever I switch weapons. It’s not enough to cause me major problems, thankfully, but it definitely could be a smoother transition. I’m on a Steam Deck (512GB, non-OLED) with stock hardware, using graphics settings all on low with render percentage around 55%. If you need any more information to help track this down let me know and I’ll do my best to get it for you.
