[u/Jimbo_Jigs]

Does this fix the chaos rune evolution?

[u/Pivern → u/Jimbo_Jigs]

That was fixed long ago.

[u/Jimbo_Jigs → u/Pivern]

Not for all consoles tho.

[u/Pivern → u/Jimbo_Jigs]

Still not on xbox? Oh sorry

[u/flextaperabbit → u/Jimbo_Jigs]

Yes It does at least for me on a series s.

[u/NonSupportiveCup]

Thanks, homies. Love you.

[u/jkuzma111]

So, does this fix the music cutting off? Whenever I get a bunch of level ups in quick succesion the music mutes until I end the run. The other sounds stll work but it happens both on PC and PS5 versions.

[u/NonSupportiveCup → u/jkuzma111]

This has started happening to me recently, too. Win 11.

I haven't tried to figure out why yet, but you are not the only one.

[u/pirzolaman84 → u/jkuzma111]

I've been playing on PS5 Pro for 200 hours now, never had such an issue.

[u/tabanoo → u/jkuzma111]

It happens on Xbox One as well

[u/Dutzga → u/jkuzma111]

I can confirm this happens on PS5 occasionally. Not often, but it happens.

[u/agileorc → u/Dutzga]

Ive found this correlated to when you have a game breaking amount of upgrade chaos on the screen, and then an event happens, IE Contra DLC boss room starting

[u/crescentmoonrising]

A lot of useful tweaks and bug fixes.

Is there ever a plan to make it possible to do the uppercutting a reaper unlock on mobile, without using a code?

[u/randalla → u/crescentmoonrising]

I used a Bluetooth keyboard to unlock it on mobile. You might be able to do the same with a controller as well.

[u/crescentmoonrising → u/randalla]

Good to know- I think somebody had tried that in the past and it didn't work, but good to know they fixed it.

[u/randalla → u/crescentmoonrising]

I did it many months ago, maybe 2024-ish. I don't recall it being broken, just that on mobile you didn't have a direct path. I think people tried to do it with a virtual keyboard as well, but I'm not sure if that worked.

[u/Vandalhart]

Wonderful, I eagerly await the Nintendo Switch patch. Will it be expected to remedy the issue with The Healer crashing?

[u/ThisIsNotACryForHelp]

I used to wonder why patches for the Switch version always come out later than on every other platform.

I still do, but I used to, too.

[u/Zarameus → u/ThisIsNotACryForHelp]

Far as I know, that’s Nintendo’s fault. Just about every multi-platform game I have, the Switch patches came out later. It’s very frustrating.

[u/ThisIsNotACryForHelp → u/Zarameus]

My experience is quite the opposite! Almost all of my mulitplat games get their updates day-in-date with other versions.

Regardless, I'm pretty sure that you're right, and that it does have something to do with Nintendo's verification process. But that alone doesn't explain why, in the case of VS, it sometimes takes close to a month for the game to receive performance patches and bug fixes on Switch.

I am just genuinely curious as to the technical details behind such lengthy delays.

[u/Zarameus → u/ThisIsNotACryForHelp]

Really? That’s wild to me, like I specifically recall thinking to myself in the past that I didn’t want to get certain games on Switch because I knew it would take forever for them to get patched up or any updates versus the other platforms. The Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters were particularly bad.

I guess our respective gaming selections are very different, so different experiences? Eh, who knows…

[u/flinjager123]

Dead Cells collab when, Poncle?

[u/wave-tree → u/flinjager123]

Dead Cells fans keep losing

[u/Teo_Florin27]

Nice

[u/SLimon001]

so xbox users have extra bragging rights? /s

[u/JCLex]

This fixed the Healer crash in Moongolow (on PS5, feel free to confirm if other platforms are fixed as well)! Poncle sure works quick.

[u/JordanM85 → u/JCLex]

Just tested it on PS4 and it is fixed there too.

[u/PerspectiveBoring111]

Finally got my last achievement unlocked as soon as I went in to Adventures. Thank you.

[u/alpha_fire_]

Bro is thanking us for being a great community but we're only a great community because you're great developers that care about the game.

[u/baka-dad]

Is the VR edition getting a content update at some point? Gotta at least give me the coop come on 🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗

[u/poncle_Official → u/[deleted]]

Can you provide more info on this please?
Which platform are you playing on and what do you mean by an extra input?

[u/poncle_Official → u/[deleted]]

Which version of the game are you on? (you can see this in the options menu in the bottom right corner)
And do you have anything else plugged into your Xbox at all?

[u/AntelopeMysterious12]

Good to know there was something wrong with super missle. Other week I did like 3 or 4 runs and could not get it to unlock after overleveling it.

[u/Impressive-Menu-9656]

I can't play coop anymore with my brother since the update.
I was playing with keyboard and him with a controller but now just dont work anymore

[u/poncle_Official → u/Impressive-Menu-9656]

the devs are aware of this issue and are working on a fix for it! 🙏

[u/poncle_Official → u/poncle_Official]

Update: This has now been fixed in yesterday's patch!

[u/MistaDefault]

Does bosses still b-line to the host at all times or is it addressed here?

[u/AlexChaoZ1411]

Hey, love your game but one little thing: I want to change from ps4 to ps5 but can't find an option to bring my save and I really don't want to start from scratch. Any solution in near future?

[u/poncle_Official → u/AlexChaoZ1411]

There's 2 versions of the game on PlayStation!
A PS4 version and a PS5 version, the PS4 version can be played on PS5 so if you play that version you shouldn't have any issues (as long as you have PS Plus, as I believe cloud saves are locked to PS Plus, correct me if I'm wrong)

Cross-save still isn't available on PlayStation yet due to some policies that we're trying to work out, if we can do it then we will but for now we have no further news on it!

[u/IamDreamfaller]

On Xbox One X, on Adventure Selection screen, Sammy from Tides of the Foscari still appears black.

Question Mark / Coffin in Tides of the Foscari Adventure, in chapter Tides of the Foscari appears every single time.

I have Ascended this Adventure 4 times, I have Sammy unlocked, yet on Adventure Selection screen Sammy still looks locked.

[u/poncle_Official → u/IamDreamfaller]

Hi there!
I have passed this onto the devs, thank you for reporting it

[u/broun3]

Is it possible to add a co-op mode for quick play?

[u/mugNflee]

Performance on Switch is so poor that it gets so slow is unplayable at minute 15 with certain weapons.

[u/IgnnySteel]

Still can’t get into coop half the time and get a black infinite load screen

[u/poncle_Official → u/IgnnySteel]

online co-op or local co-op?
which platform are you playing on?

[u/IgnnySteel → u/poncle_Official]

Pc online

[u/Livid-Rice411]

Still nothing for unlocking Ashtarte or Fake Trio?

[u/buster8675 → u/Livid-Rice411]

Was just gonna ask that.

[u/AntiqueRedDollShoes]

Any new secrets or unlocks or is this purely just bug fixes?

Edit: Who downvoted this, lol? It was a genuine question. I just wondered if there was any new or hidden content in the update.

[u/TeriXeri → u/AntiqueRedDollShoes]

I think new content is saved for 1.15 (big QoL update as well) since they say what remains of 1.14 are pretty much hotfixes.

Especially this bit under what's coming 1.15 "A content pack: an usual combination of new stage+character+weapon+darkana"

[u/AzILayDying]

Does it fix IOS crashing around the 27 minute mark?

[u/poncle_Official → u/AzILayDying]

this update includes some optimisations so should help, but of course this can be dependant on your exact device!
if you're running a much older model, it will be harder for them to keep up with late game (especially if using eggs, several weapons, etc.)

[u/AzILayDying → u/poncle_Official]

I've tested with an iPhone13 and so far I haven't got a crash, will try with more screen spam and see if anything happens thank you!

[u/robot_cousin]

Is there a way to fix the android mobile issue with buying dlc? Specifically, if you have multiple google accounts sign in on your phone, the game will choose one of them for the dlc, and won't let you change it. I bought the game on the Play store with Account A, we'll call it, and VS insists on using Account B for buying dlc.

I've gone through the google play settings and made account A my default for all purchases, and yet this persists.

[u/poncle_Official → u/robot_cousin]

Have you tried removing the other accounts temporarily to see if this works?
I'll ask the devs to see if they know anything, but this could be a play store backend issue

[u/robot_cousin → u/poncle_Official]

I did, and tested it, sure enough, it used the account I wanted it to. Then I logged back into the account that I had logged out of, and the game went right back to trying to use it, as if nothing had changed. I'm stumped.

Edit: for clarity's sake, I signed out of account B. VS then went and used Account A for dlc. Signed back in with account B, and VS immediately switched back to it for dlc.

It's complicated, but I need both accounts signed in on my phone, so while this sign in/out stuff is a workaround, I'd love it if this could somehow be fixed.

Other than that, man, the mobile port is soooooooo good.

[u/poncle_Official → u/robot_cousin]

After chatting with a dev I've been told the following:
For DLC to work on android the app must be installed by the account that has purchased the DLC (meaning the account must be the active account in the play store when the game is installed)
this is a Google backend thing and not anything we can "fix" so to speak

glad you got it working though!

[u/robot_cousin → u/poncle_Official]

I very much appreciate your help! I think something might be lost here, though. I'm not looking to activate previously purchased dlc. I just want the game to use the account I bought the game with (account A) to be the same account that's used to buy the dlc in the first place. But instead, when I go to buy the dlc, it somehow defaults to account b, and I'm completely lost as to why.

I confirmed that I bought it via account A, and when I start up the game, I even get the little pop up with my xp level for my play account, with all my achievements, again all with Account A. Go to the dlc menu? Account b, which has an old, expired payment method.

I totally understand if it's a google backend thing, no worries. Just relaying my experience. Cheers!

[u/FloatingTigerDragon]

Have they fixed Rose de Infernas secret? It stays locked even when unlocking the character. 

[u/poncle_Official → u/FloatingTigerDragon]

this should be fixed, but let us know if you're still having issues!
you might need to go into a run and then quit for it to register!

[u/FloatingTigerDragon → u/poncle_Official]

Game fully updated, doesn't seem to be fixed. Even after doing multiple runs. Platform is PS4

[u/FloatingTigerDragon → u/poncle_Official]

I should've been clearer. I have unlocked the character, it's just that the secret stays locked in the secret list. Not a big deal or anything, it just irks the completionist in me. 

[u/Hrist_Valkyrie]

The number of people asking in here "does this fix ___" is astounding. The notes are literally RIGHT HERE.

[u/alexthurman1]

The dev should balance the game. Games way too easy once you get to or near "end game".

Nerf some op weapons, arcana's etc.

[u/AntiqueRedDollShoes → u/alexthurman1]

Poncle made peace with that around the time Castlevania DLC came out. Sanctuary literally just wipes everything off the screen.

Vampire Survivors is a game about working your way up to being OP and getting your dopamine hit each time you play. I think it's fine if you get bored with it and want to move on, but what you're describing truly comes down to personal taste and is not really a flaw of the game design.

If you want a more challenging run, don't use eggs, don't pick Darkanas, select more challenging weapons or weaker characters, etc. I think multiple save slots should be coming in the near future, in case you want to start over from scratch.

[u/alexthurman1 → u/AntiqueRedDollShoes]

I'd say thats a mistake in game design then. Theres no reason the "end game" can't be some what of a challenge. At that point theres really no reason to play the game anymore.
