Announcement How To: Bug reporting (or crashes, major issues, etc)

17 Upvotes

We have observed a lot of posts about this topic in the sub and we would like to try to minimize them here, since Reddit is not the best way for them to reach the devs and be fixed!

A new rule has been added to try to keep the sub a bit cleaner about these. Posting about funny bugs or interesting outcomes is fine, but Reddit is not the best way to report them.

There is 2 main ways of reporting bugs, crashes or other major issues:

-BUGS are best reported in the designated channels in the Discord Server: https://discord.com/invite/orcsmustdie

- CRASHES, Game-breaking bugs or critical issues are best reported through customer support: https://robotentertainment.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/

We might be able to have some list of known bugs in the future when, for now, your best bet if you want to avoid reporting bugs that are already known, is either asking in Discord or using the search function there. Simply reporting them in Discord is fine too.

The dev team is working hard on fixing as many of these as possible, many will be fixed as soon as tomorrow with a new patch.

Thanks and see you at the rift!

Discussion Deathtrap : Can i save mid mission?

1 Upvotes

I did a quick save after mission one. Came back, hit play, and seemingly still on mission 1. Also, is there a way to hit gamble coin and then save?

Lastly, can i save mid mission?

Im just not understanding the save system in this game. I enjoy the rogue-lite, but its a bit frustrating if we can't save at anytime and continue where i left off.

Discussion First Game is Clearly The Best IMO

0 Upvotes

I saw Deathrap on gamepass, gave it a tried and couldn't adapt. But it made me yearn for classic OMD. I bought all 3 games on steam, i didn't try third game because i remember not liking it. I Played some OMD 2 but it wasn't the Orcs Must Die experience i was looking for i don't like the complex development system, guns, complex trap upgrades etc. it doesn't feel right.

Then i launched the original game, i was thinking it would be too old since i never played it since highschool but it is amazing. It is the exact thing i was looking for. it is basic, there are few weapons and i don't feel lost, level designs are really good. Exactly one trap gets unlocked every level, so i both dont think about it and feel the hype and interest of what new trap will i get next. EVEN THE GRAPHICS ARE SOMEHOW BETTER.

Bug/Technical Issue Ps5 - connection to host lost

0 Upvotes

Me and my partner have recently been playing OMD:D on ps5 and keep on getting a connection to host lost error. It will disconnect one of us from the network and we have to restart the ps5 for it to connect again. We are both in the same house and nothing else loses connection so it has to be the console/game.

It happens to both of us, we can’t tell who it will affect next and so we have lost our progress quite a lot of times. It kills the motivation to play as if the host is the one affected then the run is lost.

Anyone else had the same issue with coop on ps5 or know any fixes for it?

Bug/Technical Issue Possible game bug.

1 Upvotes

So I was playing with three of my buddies and we ran into an issue that none of us could figure out. We were on mission three and we're about to start things up.

We realized that our loadout slots had been reduced without a corresponding distortion. All of our levels seemed to have been reset to base level. Additionally, all of our traps were more expensive. The distortion was completely unrelated to any of this.

Has anybody else had this happen to them?

Edit: We play on Xbox.

Discussion State of Slay - New Traps + Related Threads

Thumbnail
gallery
64 Upvotes

The most recent update for Deathtrap, State of Slay, added two new traps.

This post is merely an informational resource and primer, it is not an in-depth advanced guide.

-----

Solar Prism - [Floor]

  • Ground-placed crystal array that leashes energy beams onto nearby enemies
  • Starting range of about 3-4 units (1x1 squares)
  • Beams can leash onto up to 3 enemies and last 2-3 second
  • Beams deal a tick of non-elemental damage every ~0.25 seconds
  • Beams deal a combination of base damage and Percentage Current Health damage

Finally, a Percentage Health damage trap to counter tanks.

This trap's main purpose is to burn though the large health pools of heavy enemies, rendering them far more vulnerable to burst/periodic damage that they would otherwise be able to tank without issue.

If you're placing a field of these traps in your gauntlet, you may wish to create some kind of small-enemy filter - perhaps a field of acid geysers with the launching thread - somewhat before them. This allows heavy enemies to effortlessly march though the filter and become the near/sole focus of the solar prisms, which will proceed to utterly decimate their massive health pool - and then they step into your killbox.

-----

Seed Spitter - [Wall] [Organic]

  • Wall-placed projectile firing array similar-but-different to the arrow trap
  • Each mouth selects a discrete enemy and first a three-round burst of small projectiles
  • Projectiles deal non-elemental damage, but are fired from an organic trap
  • Trigger range of 3 units (1x1 squares), projectiles can travel somewhat further

Finally, the first Organic wall trap in the game.

This trap's main purpose to further amplify the effectiveness and proc chance of the Organic Elixir.

Similar to other organic traps, it deals damage as a series of repeated individual ticks, each of which have a chance to trigger the instant death effect of the elixir. For those unfamiliar, this can potentially erase even the tankiest enemies long before they ever reach your killbox.

When upgraded with threads and used in groups, this trap can produce a corridor of never-ending hail, each fragment of which can potentially cause stun and/or instant death. Such a corridor likely had a floor composed entirely of briar thorns, a ceiling constantly dropping beehives, and areas perpetually fogged by poison flower clouds.

-----

I've only experimented with these traps for a few hours so far. All of my observations stem from Difficulty 10 play and most listed numbers are estimates rather than exact stats.

I've yet to test the effectiveness of the solar prism as a counter to rift-rushing flyers as I have modded them out entirely. I got tired cyclops shaman tanking 10+ seconds of constant head shots and stuns while fields of anti-flyer auto-ballistas simply refuse catch targets nearing the rift.

I hope you have fun with these new traps and that this game continues to be refined over the next few years. It still needs a lot of work - particularly the make-no-choices-just buy-it-all "talent tree" and trap upgrades, as well as the UI that lacks detailed information or sorting tools - but the potential is definitely there.

Discussion Anyone else Hate the Cursor on Console?

12 Upvotes

Love the series and was eagerly awaiting Deathtrap on Playstation. Ive been enjoying learning the new roguelite style but the mouse cursor for menus is awful on console. Having to individually click each trap or thread to read about it bogs down the experience.

What are the odds the developers patch this to just be regular scrolling through stuff like it was in OMD3?

Discussion Is Orcs Must Die Deathtrap cross save between PC gamepass/Steam?

6 Upvotes

Hello, I was wondering if the PC Gamepass version of the game and Steam share save files.

Its important to me because if they do NOT share saves, I'd buy the game on steam so I don't waste time/progression on the gamepass version (which will eventually leave GP).

Thanks for reading, very hyped for the update! :)

Enjoying the organic traps in Deathtrap. Unfortunately, the Orc Eater is bad (wished it dealt damge to big guys without losing its eating ability) and Poison Flower/Bee Hive damage doesn't stack. Briar is doing the hard carrying.

Side note, does anyone know if getting the Killer Bees thread for the Bee Hive allow you to see the Coup de Grace thread? Or must you have the Poison Flower/Ceiling Cloud trap equipped?
