I can't wait for the update with the artifacts, I just hope they don't release it almost at the same time as the FTL expansion.

So is there a steam group or something for neogaf co-op? Would love to play this game with some other people. I don't think I could get my roommates into it for more than a few plays.

Had the exact same problem and I haven't found a reliable solution so far, sadly.The game is telling me there is an error and it seems to be causing the game to play with no sound, any ideas?
Sometimes a Steam restart works, others have had success with re-installing visual c++ from the redist folder or (if you're running Windows 8) using Windows 7 compability mode.
So I realized that my Nivida drivers hadn't been updated and I updated them and it's all good. I know how stupid. You might want to try doing the same.

Don't think so. At least I never found a way.

Something's up with this game's netcode or something. Tried for three hours to forward the port and still failed to actually have a friend connect.
I've port forwarded successfully on games for years, ran my own Minecraft server, etc. But Risk of Rain simply refuses to work. Also refuses to work on Hamachi, which we both setup specifically for this game in a last-ditch attempt to play.
Indie game, 4 man team, etc., I know. But this is 2014. Simple co-op shouldn't be this horridly annoying.
I play it just fine with KB+M, honestly. I couldn't imagine it with a controller. The buttons would be too far apart for what I do.
I have the same problem with multiplayer in Risk of Rain. I love the game in single-player but it's a shame their multiplayer connectivity is ass-backwards. Steam matchmaking is fucking free and there's really no excuse not to include it.
Both work perfectly fine. Just use whatever feels more comfortable.
Coop is single screen. If the other player falls off a cliff, they won't be able to see anything except a little marker indicating their position. They say that with the engine they use they can't do split-screen.

The game was updated to version 1.1.1 and the artifacts are added to the game. What I find strange is no release notes neither on the game site or steamcommunity.
Yeah I tried controller and it just didn't feel right.
I just want to say I freaking love this game and its ost!
Now that I had my time in Drizzle diff, I went on to Normal one - where stats are saved, logs drop,...
I had RoR for a long time, but today was first serious investment in weeks again.
I can see the gamepad vs kbm discussion here and I play it with 360pad and have no problems.
Also if anyone would like to try online coop sometimes, let me know via PM.

Yeah, the music is a big part of what shapes the atmosphere in this game, brilliant.

Now do it as Mercenary on Monsoon. I clocked about 100 minutes on it, shit was crazy.
Boar Beach is your friend.
I actually did it on my very first run-through as engineer. It played more to my strengths, and I literally got 5x Goat Hooves for incredible run speed. Turrets + Mines + Run Speed = God.

Its rather bizarre seeing a game made by your brother made become so big and loved by so many people!
He worked (and is still working) hard though

Haven't played a second of co-op yet. Looking forward to it!
I love this game so much. Especially because of the soundtrack.

Send my congratulations to your brother! RoR is a very addictive game that got me hooked me for quite some time, I can't wait for the new content to drop and play the new classes.

I know some people are waiting for the PS4/PS3/Vita port so good news:
Also a preview for the two new classes:

They added artifacts and there is a planned update fixing more bugs, improving performance, converting it to Game Maker: Studio etc.

Will double dip on Vita day 1.
Surprised to see this thread pop up; I just did a few co-op run throughs a couple of days ago!
RoR is a fun little brawler (especially in co-op) but the ONE THING that gets me about this game is the whack-a-mole you have to play once you survive the teleport timer! I am annoyed every single time. I killed all the guys that spawned in during the survival challenge, I shouldn't have to go hunt down those 2 enemies that spawned off screen half way across the map, then walk all the way back to the teleporter to get to the next level! And often if you try to play it straight and kill everything that appears as you explore, when the difficulty starts climbing you actually can't kill the spawns fast enough to move anywhere (before more spawn in) and you just fight forever.
The game should really flag the guys that spawn in during the teleporter event and make THOSE the only ones you need to kill. Sweeping through and having to clean up the trash (and back), especially as a slow moving class, kills all momentum.

Definite buy for my Vita.
Sounds rad, thanks.

None that I'm aware.

This game is so good, even with the bugs. I regret not buying it earlier.
For anyone unaware, the current Humble Bundle has four copies of Risk of Rain in it. Incredible deal.

Will it be cross-buy?
(I just bought the PC/Steam version. Can't wait to dive in...)

No date yet, I think they are going to fix the bugs that happened in the new update before releasing the Vita version.
No word on that.
Over a year later and still busted? Blah!
What's wrong with it? My friend and I finished the game hundreds of times.

My apologies, it does seem like the online is working fine, I just didn't know how to properly use it.
In my defense, the multiplayer system is extremely outdated in this game.
How's that? The only thing I can think of is that you have to join at the beginning, but it's a roguelike.
