I have always played Grounded solo "offline" without making xbox account, so there should be no other players in my world, why is there now suddenly "OfflineUser" in my world all of a sudden? I am not sure if this is related to some new feature after recent update, or is this a bug. I have +200 hours in this game and i never remember seeing this before, Aphid Chris from your discord told me to make a bug report. - Pc, Steam - Save file has 80 in-game days, ~200 real life hours, custom mode - Started seeing this after this new recent 1.4 Fully Yoked update - I have never played in multiplayer mode, i have never created xbox account, i have never connected my game with any xbox account - This "OfflineUser" tag was about 100 meters in front of me when i logged in to my save and saw it first time.

Can someone please help me figure out how to fix this issue. I'm not sure if it's my computer or my settings but when I play Deadfire on PC my characters look choppy on the character menus. When I play on console everyone looks great. I've attached my graphics settings for the game. I've played through much of the game like this but it's so annoying and I would like to fix it before I start a new character. Please help! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LH777fnWlb3WsWDA2SolSqVUfi1a967r/view?usp=drive_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iBtrgjBeVx6RRYp_C0wd-Sc78MbRSq2j/view?usp=drive_link

Hello ! I'm a PC player on Microsoft (game pass). I played yesterday, and everyting was working well. Today, I launch the game and when I move my mouse - the camera - the FPS suddenly drop. But only when I move the camera, for example if I juste move forward there is no problem. My PC didn't made any updates (nvidia, lghub for my mouse, grounded, etc.). Any idea ? Thanks !

If you're suffering from in game performance issues like stuttering or lag spike, please identify your platform you're playing on. This is only intended for a snapshot of information, and there is a limit for poll questions.

maine-win64-shipping Is maxing out my gpu it’s at 100%. The file is utilizing 98% of my gpu and 16% of my cpu and causes my game to crash and even effects my ups battery forcing it to beep and shut my computer off possibly because of over heating. Have been playing for a week and have 52 hours in game and only started happening yesterday. Can’t play the game as it is now.

Great game! I'm excited to see how it transforms over time. Please make a VR version of this game for at least the PC if not for all VR headsets too. This game is already super fun but it would be an insanely fun in VR with the ability to play crossplatform multiplayer. Pretty please?

Very early in the game, near the Marauder Camp. I just crouched walking up to a tree and somehow, ended up getting stuck. Ended up having to load an earlier Save to get unstuck. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/499336513

Is there a way to send a saved game file to a friend? If not then they should allow the friend or friends to save the game play when doing co-op .... It sucks when you and a friend put a lot of time into a game and can only enjoy all that hard work unless the person that has the saved game gets online to play ... also C:\Users\Your username\Saved Games\Grounded did not work!

So from about 3 months ago, the game save folder located in "C:\Users\"username"\Saved Games\Grounded Windows 10" went missing. Even though this happened I was still somehow able to use my game save file with no problems. Recently however I exported my main save then proceeded to delete all the saves, from clogging up my system, if they were there, and re installed the game hoping it would solve the issue. I created a new folder which was labelled "Grounded Windows 10" hoping that would work, however it did not. When starting the game and clicking load...there is nothing there. So at the moment it is impossible to import game saves. I tried creating a new save file with no internet connection too, this also showed another bug. If you create a game, then save it with no connection there is no way you can reload that save. Even reconnecting to the internet didn't help, and the game created with no internet connection is lost. Is there a location in the PC where it could be? I have done a complete system search with the name of the folder and/or the save, for example "7519152C0..." or "ID-FB48369..." and still nothing so it is a mystery! XD. On a second note, not sure if this is known or fixable but the key for export 'S' is also the key for showing backup saves. Hope there is an easy fix for this or I am just being stupid! love the game so far...thanks!!

Platform: PC, Game Pass for PC Game Type: Multiplayer, non-host Description: after being defeated and respawning, the backpack appears in a place different from where I was defeated, and contains items that I did not have in inventory previously. Unsure, but seems to also be from a place that is also spawning too much dew drops? A lot of dew drops appeared, rendering large down to small in a weird manner. This only has happened when playing multiplayer, and not as the host, while on PC. The host of the game is on Xbox One X. Result: Backpack appears in world, but with items listed outside it like an array, containing items not possessed prior to being defeated. It's weird. I don't envy the programmer who has to solve this one. OneDrive Link to the image of what I was seeing OneDrive Link to the video showing a bit more than the image.

Hey everyone, I'm running the game on a Windows 7 64-Bit PC with an AMD Radeon RX 480 on 32 gb RAM and an Intel i7-6700. I've been playing for a bit over two weeks and just now had this bug while running around doing the "Makes Space suits, won't travel" quest. I realize it's not really game-breaking or anything, and have honestly never had any issues with the game, but I'd like to know if anyone knows what could be causing this before I see it pop up somewhere else? I first noticed it after finishing Gorgon, and it only seems to happen when facing heat distortion effects from certain angles, and in certain lighting. The first time it was around sunrise, and the second around sunset on Edgewater, where I took this screenshot. It doesn't seem to happen at any other moment thus far. I turned Chromatic Aberration off, and nothing changed. All the other settings are at Ultra except for Foliage, and I have my FOV two clicks above normal.

When playing I'm getting issues with sound lagging out. The music will stop for a period, then come back after a few seconds. Also when approaching npcs that talk or opening a dialogue, the subtitles come up early but then there is a huge delay until the characters start to speak. Any known fix or suggestions?

Greetings all! First off, I just want to say to the Dev Team, I love this game. I know there are a lot of issues many are having, but the core building gameplay and survival mechanics are really re-playable for me. That being said, with this latest patch, like many others, I've had a few issues. Really, the first I've encountered throughout the my entire play experience since launch. The first issue, and really its made the game unplayable at the moment, is I can no longer save any instance of the game. When going to save it says "CANNOT SAVE: MAX SAVE SLOTS ESED" which I'm guessing is just a misspelling of "USED" (see image). I have physically deleted older saves from inside the Saved Games folder in windows AND from the inside the game itself, and it does nothing. I can not overwrite any save file as well. I have tried loading it into Single Player as well, but the result is the same. I have been using AutoSave every 5 minutes throughout my entire time playing so I know i've build up a backlog of Save Files, but its as if the game doesn't register any of my deletions. So that's a bummer since any further progress I make won't be saved. The second issue is with the zip lines. They work great for me as the host but placing down an anchor points and connecting them crashes the game for my friend in MP. Literally as soon as he rejoins, it crashes the game for him as long as the zipline is there. We tested it out multiple ways (having him build them, having each of us build one, etc..) and the result was the same. Maybe other's have experienced this as well, I'm not sure. Lastly, and I know this has been brought up here and on social media, but my friend and I experience a 5-7 second lag every time a structure is built, regardless of who places it or finishes it. My friend is also experiencing slow "draw in" of some larger portions of out base, and sometimes he can't even see parts of it. Again, I know this has already been brought up, but I thought it might be relevant to one of the other issues. We think its an inherent de-sync in the Host/Client communication. Also, out base is HUGE and we have probably WAAAAAY to many static build assets in the game so that is probably slowing things down. In any case, if anyone has a solution for the Save Game issue on PC, that would be really helpful. Everything else is not much of an issue at the moment but I can't continue playing until I can save again.

Occasionally while playing the game (in multiplayer as the client, not host, in my case), upon exiting the inventory, craft menu, map, etc. I will recieve a graphics driver crash error that will either crash the game or, in some cases, my entire PC and require a restart. I can't exactly get screenshots of the crash, nor can it reliably be recreated per se, but it happens roughly every 1 in 3 times I exit the menu. (This has happened one time upon launching the game, but not again) The host and I updating our graphics drivers, as the error suggested, did nothing to fix the issue. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any workarounds yet? *Update* I theorize this may be an issue with directx 12. I use an AMD Radeon RX 580 and have an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core processor. Dx 12 is notoriously awful with AMD softwares, but because I use the Xbox App and am playing the game with the gamepass, I'm unsure of how to fix this issue unless it may possibly be something in the game (I was not having this issue at all playing the game in multiplayer as the client player 2 days ago). As of right now this error is making my game unplayable, which sucks because I adore both the game and Obsidian as a company. If anyone finds a workaround for making the game run in dx 11, I'd love to hear it so I can play the game again.

On the XBox live PC version of the game, updates to the game require an entire download and reinstall of the 3+GB game files. This occurred with the update to 0.2.0.2266 and also occurred with 0.2.1. Launching the game multiple times does not force an update, and there are no manual update options in the Xbox client on PC, nor on xbox.com. Do I have to uninstall and reinstall for every update?

Cant login with my ms account on grounded multiplayer, I press F1 and cant login. What's the fix?

Not sure if this has been covered. I've been playing fine today, but tonight the game kept crashing to desktop upon autosave, normal saving and trying to load a save. I can start a new game but when I try to save it crashes again. I'm playing through Microsoft store with gamepass. UPDATE #1: I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game. This seems to have fixed the issue for now and my save files were kept. I'll update further if it happens again.

I managed to play Grounded a couple of times, but then went to play yesterday and got the error message: "You must log in to an Xbox Live Account to play Grounded". I'm on PC, and hitting ok just sees the 'Logging in..' message, before it simply returns to the original error message. I tried everything, logging in and out of msoft account in the app, in my browser, uninstalling, reinstalling etc... but was confounded, as my partner can play just fine. Then I realised, I'd updated to Bitdefender 2020 yesterday - so had my partner update hers, and now she can't play either. So - conclusion, Bitdefender is blocking the log in/handshaking somehow - but I've no idea how to add an exception in Bitdefender as Grounded is installed in the 'WindowsApps' folder, which doesn't let you see what's in it. Anyone got any ideas, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks

Hello.. Is the persistant stuttering and frame drop issues on both the pc version and console versions going to be fixed at ANY point in the future? I mean we barely seem to get a patch to fix minor issues once every three months if lucky and you are not addressing folk like myself who have this issue on the pc and ps4 versions. My pc spec.. Gtx 1080 I7 8700k 32gb ddr4 Game is installed on a m.2 ssd Windows 10 Gsync enabled.

Windows 10 Ryzen 3600x rx 5700 LInk to example. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvFG1K6Wk494gbFjEFTNOTTh-yZgQg?e=C5eUbH

So guys, My old friend is soon going to depart to silicon heaven and i am tempting to jump on building a new one, but I lately stop watching trends and I am pretty much in darknes. I know that RAMs are not problem right now as they are pretty cheap and I think that motherboards are all +- same if am I correct. So biggest questions are: CPU, GPU, Hard Disk, new monitors I defo want SSD 2TB+ I really have no desire so shuffle games from SSD to HDD so I want big SSD for all but those are still pretty expensive compared to 1TB disks (any idea when we can expect price drop?) and what manufacturer is the best? Are there coming some new really impactfull CPUs? I heards some rumors about new Intel CPUs but no idea how it looks with those and how expensive they are going to be as for GPU, I generally prefer NVidia but I am really lost in latest new around those, I am thinking that I want to prepare PC for Cyberpunk and i want to rock it on max settings so i think there I am going to bleed most of my cash and lastly, any decent monitors I can rock (I need at least 2 monitors to pretty much function with PC threse days) and not sell my kidney to get? Thanks all bois, Looking for suggestions

Hi all I bought the pc version of the game and it works fine except it won't recognize my plugged in PS4 controller. I've tested the controller with other (non Epic Store) games and it works just fine so it's not broken. It doesn't matter if I plug it in when it's launched, before I launch it, before booting my pc, or after booting, it just won't find it. I've also tried loading the game through Steam, but that didn't work either. Any help is appreciated

Every time I try to enter the Byzantium maintenance tunnels the game crashes to desktop, with no error message, after finishing the loading screen. I've tried to enter the tunnels from the two entrances (by parcel service and acropolis) and it crashes in both cases. I am playing PC from the Epic Games Store. Windows 10 Nvidia GTX 1070 Game Version: Rell.2.0.418

I'm not sure if this has already been brought up and I'm not sure if this is the right place to be posting this, but I thought I'd try anyway. I'm playing on PC (MS Store version) and I've noticed that after I've completed a companion's personal quest and gained their bonus perk, I'll lose the bonus perk after doing a respec. HOWEVER, after doing a respec, I'll get an additional perk point to use for any companion who's personal quest I've completed as if it's giving me an extra point for the bonus perk. That doesn't seem like it's how it was intended to work. I figured the bonus perk would be a permanent passive quest reward. The way it's working now you have no warning that a respec will remove the perk and no way of getting it back even though you do get an additional point to spend after respec. Sorry if this is a well known bug, I just noticed it happening. I did a quick Google search and only found one small topic on Reddit talking about it. Figured I'd bring it up. Maybe someone else could do some testing to see if they get the same results.
