This hotfix includes fixes related to a couple of perks as well as some miscellaneous sound improvements to everything ranging from flares to the Ommoran Heartstone! We have also resolved a bug that could cause the Refinery to turn invisible to some players. Very spooky but not intended!

Hello Miners,

This hotfix includes a bunch of smaller/medium fixes that we were not able to get into the previous hotfixes, it should have something for everyone.

Unfortunately, some quite serious networking issues got into the hotfix, so we have rolled it back until tomorrow. Sorry Miners! Fixed!

Cheers,
The Ghost Ship Crew

Yesterday, we activated the Halloween event and it had way more Pumpkins than intended. We have dived into the caves and destroyed all the surplus pumpkins.

Also, after reviewing the feedback and weighing pros and cons, Management has decided that the two Halloween hats from 2018 and 2019 should be added to all players wardrobe while the Halloween event is live.

• Halloween themed Title Screen
  
• Fix pumpkin mesh not replicated correctly. Resulting in weird movement for clients
  
• Fix for pumpkin-gate: now there will be the intended amount of pumpkins in the caves
  
• Fixed halloween items on the spacerig not networked correctly
  
• Reactivetate the Halloween hats from previous years

The patch notes from Hotfix 3 was missing an important point in the changelist

• Steam Profanity filter can now be turned on in the in-game option menu as well as in the Steam settings.

It's that spoooooky time of year again, and someone has once again dressed up the Spacerig to get us all in a gruesome mood. This year we felt a bit demonic, and the free Halloween Headwear is of course styled to match: Allow us to introduce the Horned Horror!



As always, the seasonal event's cosmetic items are limited to be claimed while the event is live (it ends on the 4th of November), though Management does reserve the right to just give them out at later point.



Update 32 took a while longer to get out of the door than we initially expected, but work is now properly underway for Update 33. And with that, we need a proper roadmap update soon. We'll need a bit of time to get our plans in order, and then we'll do another of our regular Roadmap Update posts where we can a bit more into detail for you. We're expecting this to happen just after the end of Halloween, so sometime towards the end of next week.

Until then, Rock and Stone, Miners!

with love
- the Ghost Ship crew

It’s finally time for our first major post-launch Update - completely free for all who owns the game! The main dish is two brand-new mission types: Escort Duty and On-site Refining. Both mission types focus on heavy duty mining equipment that needs tender loving care and protection from a team of hard working dwarves! The side dish includes a ton of new cosmetics, further weapon balancing, a much-needed overhaul of the Assignment Board, and many other things. Bon appetit!

It’s time to get greasy! There has never been a better time to be a combat miner working for DRG. See you in the mines!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

P.S. We know many of our fans on Xbox/Microsoft-Store are also reading these patch notes, so a quick note on the Update 32 version on those platforms: The current plan is to submit it to certification tomorrow (Friday), and then ask for a quick pass through. But this might get hindered if we find blockers before tomorrow or if we have major issues with the Steam build. Fingers crossed!









Management has a new thirst: Liquid Morkite. They are sending you in alongside an On-Site Refinery to fill. Locate the Liquid Morkite wells and hook them up to orbital-insertion industrial Pumpjacks, connect them to the Refinery by building huge, winding pipelines, and pump those deposits dry! Oh, and the good people down in RnD even felt generous enough to build in a handy way to use the pipelines for quick, easy, and SAFE* traversal.

*Check the clause 3.15 of your contract to read more about the company’s definition of “safe”.





In this heavily combat-focused mission you are sent in to obtain a mysterious Ommoran Heartstone! Only the specially built autonomous Drilldozer can make it through the outer shell of the Ommoran and reveal the prize inside: The priceless Ommoran Heartstone. The Drilldozer will land at a safe distance, and then automatically home in on the Ommoran. Your job is to keep the dang thing safe and fueled as it digs its way towards the objective. Guard it with your life, Miners!


This new Assignment serves as a crash course in how to safely complete the new missions and make it back alive - and will reward you with some fancy new headwear on completion. What’s not to love?


Attention, fashion freaks! The new fall collection has just dropped with a beautiful selection of new Beards, Headwear, and Hairdos! 27 new Cosmetics have been added to the Shop, 11 new Cosmetics can be forged with Matrix Cores, and 1 new Headwear will be rewarded by completing the new assignment.



If you really want to rough it up, the new Roughneck Pack has you covered. Spice up your looks with four new sets of unique armor (one per class), new helmets, and new Paintjobs. This pack is squarely aimed at those that can’t be bothered dressing up as a space marine, and just want to get stuck into the hard work at hand! Finally, show off those figurative guns - as well as that choice selection of tattoos you’ve kept under wraps for so long!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1430610/Deep_Rock_Galactic__Roughneck_Pack/

On top of the Armors, the pack comes with two unique helmets, as well as a new Paintjob for Bosco and your Pickaxe.


Talking about fashion...if you are one of those persons who can’t decide which helmet to wear or how to style your beard or maybe you are just too afraid to try something new and daring, well….we got great news for you: The Wardrobe has been equipped with new Randomize buttons - Full Outfit as well per Category. Trying out new and unexpected combos has never been easier!




Not all dwarves are into harsh languages, so we have enabled Steam's brand new profanity filter for both the in-game chat and the server list. This feature is using the settings from Steam, which for most means that it is turned on by default. If you can't get enough of that sweet profanity, you can turn it off or customize it to your own desire in the Settings menu in Steam.



DRG just invested in a better Assignment Board. Enjoy a fancy and more intuitive layout as you select your next assignment!




CONTROLS: When carrying gems and other heavy items you can now throw on both [LEFT AND RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON] on the mouse or [LEFT AND RIGHT TRIGGER] on controller. We made this change to accommodate the Fuel Canister (used in the Escort Duty mission) which is carried like a gem but also has functionality like a weapon or tool. In the future we could imagine having you find other tools and weapons that could be used in a similar way.

AUTO CANCEL THROW: If you do not release the throw button after reaching max throwing power the throw will auto-cancel after a short time.

Since the beginning of October, Update 32 has been in the Experimental Branch. This a collection of all the changelog from the many updates to the Experimental build of Update 32. A huge thanks to all of you who helped out finding bugs and giving feedback.

• Experimental Build 44400
  
• Experimental Build 44464
  
• Experimental Build 44526
  
• Experimental Build 44597
  
• Experimental Build 44672
  
• Experimental Build 44741
  
• Experimental Build 44842
  
• Experimental Build 44911
  
• Experimental Build 44985
  
• Experimental Build 45056
  
• Experimental Build 45109
  
• Experimental Build 45229
  
• Experimental Build 45323

• INVISIBLE GLYPHIDS are sometimes an issue, though we did add a fix to release build that *might* fix it. We don't have a good way to reproduce this bug, making it very hard/impossible to confirm the effect of the fix without the help of the community. We'll keep looking for reports on this, and try different things until reports stops appearing.
  
• SPAWN WITHOUT ITEMS/WEAPONS is a very rare, but rather annoying bug. We have no reproduction case on this one yet.

We have two pieces of news for you today. First of all, the Store page for the new Roughneck DLC is now live. This new DLC is called Roughneck pack and is themed around a better-ventilated outfit and with a company-issued hardhat to make up for the lack of body armor and protect your noggin’.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1430610/Deep_Rock_Galactic__Roughneck_Pack/

Like the Dark Future and MegaCorp DLCs, the Roughneck Pack is purely cosmetic. Any gameplay altering changes will stay in the free updates we’re doing. And speaking of updates...

The second piece of news is about the release date. We’ve previously aimed for launching Update 32 on October 8, but after some closer scrutiny, we have realized that we have to push the update two weeks to October 22. The content and missions needs a bit more refinement and a safer escort to a release ready state.

But why two weeks? We’re just about to hit a public school holiday here in Denmark, which means that some of our key crew will be unavailable for a week, and launching a big update like this without them isn’t viable. This, together with increased COVID-19 precautions and our refusal to engage in crunch-time at Ghost Ship Games has led to us postponing the update two weeks. On a positive note, this will allow us to collect more feedback from the current version of Update 32 available on the Experimental branch on Steam.

Rock and Stone!
- the Ghost Ship crew

First things first: Update 32: Roughnecks At Work will release on Steam on October 8th.

Yes, that’s in Q4 and we promised Q3 in the roadmap, and for a while, we thought we could make it for the very end of September. But it’s still not finished, and we don’t want to rush things, so we decided to give it a week more in the cooker. We will, though, release Update 32 to the Experimental branch early next week. So, technically, you will get access to it in Q3 ;-)

So, what will be in Update 32? In our roadmap we promised you some new Mission Types, and we are certainly going to deliver on that one. The two new missions are called Escort Duty and On-Site Refining and the overall theme is about working with heavy machinery deep in the mines of Hoxxes. How the new missions will play out will be a secret for a little while longer. But we already released several teasers and will continue to release more in our Twitter, Facebook and Reddit channels - the Steam forum is sadly not well suited for this.















Apart from the two new missions, Update 32 will also deliver a bunch of new fancy cosmetics, an updated Assignment terminal screen, a couple of new achievements, weapon balancing, a new cosmetic DLC (called Roughneck Pack), and many other smaller things.

This Friday, September 25th, we will live stream a playthrough of the new mission called On-Site Refining. And we'll have some devs in the chat for answering questions. This happens at 1PM UTC+2 on our Twitch channel and it will be re-streamed to our Steam store page and Youtube channel as well. And on Tuesday, September 29th, we will live stream the other new mission, Escort Duty, on the same channels and at the same time (1 2 PM UTC+2).

Next week, on Tuesday, September 29th, Update 32 will go live on the Experimental Branch goes live. This will probably happen late in the afternoon our time (3 PM UTC+2). Read about how to join Experimental Branch and what it is here
UPDATE: The build is now live on the Experimental Branch! Go give it a spin and give us feedback!

Exactly two weeks from now, on Thursday October 8th, Update 32 goes live on Steam along with new cosmetic DLC.

That’s all for now - see in the caves of Hoxxes!


Rock and Stone!
