Deep Rock Galactic News

What can I say? The people have spoken and they love dwarves. A week and a bit after Bay 12 shared news of bumper Dwarf Fortress sales figures, Ghost Ship Games has come out and said that Deep Rock Galactic sold an impressive 2 million copies in 2022 alone. What is it with gamers, dwarves, and mining?..

[h2]Happy New Year, Miners!
[/h2]

We hope you’ve had a great 2022, and are ready for all the exciting mining opportunities this new year will bring. We took a bit of time off during the past few weeks, but now we are back again and hard at work on DRG.

With 2022 behind us, we’ve taken some time to take stock of how the game has been doing. And many of you have been asking for new numbers, given the excitement created by our last infographics two years ago. We understand you are all stakeholders in Deep Rock Galactic and want to know it is performing well - in short, we get it, you crave the KPI’s!

Here you go, Miners - as requested:



Rock and Stone

With Love,

[h3]Hello Miners,[/h3]

Whoops…

--- PATCH NOTES ---
- Fixed crash that happened when reloading the Nishanka Boltshark
- Fixed the Music Volume slider not having any effect on the ambient music in the Space Rig
- Tweaked the Mod Support fix from Patch 11 - Increased from 0.5ms to 1ms (still only when Solo in the Space Rig or when joining a player with mods) - So mods have a bit more time to download on join

--- KNOWN ISSUES ---
- Inconsistencies with O2 replenishment on Low Oxygen warning missions
- The Anniversary Year 4 Hat is missing from Wardrobe (Don’t worry we will have this fixed before Year 5)

[h3]Hello Miners,[/h3]

Happy New Year! This patch contains a fix to an issue with our implementation of the modding support plugin - that affected anyone who had interacted with the modding support system (whether or not they had mods enabled or installed). Hopefully this will also fix some of the rubberbanding we’ve seen reported. Woooo…

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

[h3] — PATCH NOTES —[/h3]
- Fixed sabotage power cable lights turning off in some cases
- Fixed that refinery would sometimes spawn underneath the drop pod
- Fixed a crash caused by missing savefiles
- Fixed overlapping mission objective icons
- Fixed crossbow radial damage sometimes not registering
- Fixed damage on fire and cryo bolt for crossbow
- Greatly reduced modding plugin performance impact per frame from 3ms down to 0.5ms for solo lobbies, and to 0ms for missions and multiplayer lobbies. This also means you can no longer inspect the modding menu during missions or while you are playing with others.
- Fixed lost pack room sometimes not generating after helmet scan

[h3] — KNOWN ISSUES —[/h3]
- Inconsistencies with O2 replenishment on Low Oxygen warning missions

[h2]Hello Miners,

You did it! Deep Rock Galactic has been nominated for a Labor of Love award in the 2022 Steam Awards! From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you.



Voting has begun, so please vote for DRG. It would mean the world to us. Because, as we said when we were nominated, this truly is a labor of love.

By the way, we hope you are enjoying our latest Labor of Love offspring - the Yuletide Event. We’ve seen your reactions both here and wherever you post awesome DRG content, and it warms our hearts to see you having this much fun with everything we managed to cram into this event. Especially how you’ve managed to clear a good amount of Yuletide Elves from the caves of Hoxxes. There are still more left though, so let’s get to it, Miners. We’ll make Hoxxes as Elf-free as can be by 2023.

We will also be taking a bit of time away from the Studio between now and New Year. And we will be back and well-rested in 2023, hard at work on many more exciting new updates for DRG. We are not quite ready to talk about those yet, but we promise you will be the first to know once we are ready. They will be exciting. We promise.

In the meantime, let’s get voting. Rock and Stone!

With Love
The Ghost Ship Crew
