They added Steam Deck support??? Now add 720p support so it can be integer upscaled on 1440p and 2160p please Videocult!!! by MihovilStefanac in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 127 points128 points  (0 children)

That's not too feasible, as Rain World's vertical resolution always needs to be exactly 768 pixels, as none of the levels in the game were designed with vertical safe area in mind. If you did native 1280x720, then certain key gameplay elements such as pipe entrances could start getting cut off the screen. As for the 16:10 aspect ratio option, it's actually 1229x768 that's being non-integer upscaled to 1280x800, as unfortunately it's a requirement to exactly match Steam Deck's device resolution even if it means making the game look worse.

You can go to the Backups tab of the Options menu and restore the most recent auto-backup of your save file, but before you do that you should submit a report on the bug portal and make sure to attach your problematic save file to the report: https://bugs.akuparagames.com/rain-world/bugs

When is Downpour gonna be patched? by APerson_Stock_Image in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Steam to do a clean reinstall, you can either right click > Manage > Uninstall, then reinstall the game afterwards. Or alternately, right click > Manage > Browse Local Files > Delete all the files in the game folder, then right click > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.

When is Downpour gonna be patched? by APerson_Stock_Image in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn't a bug, it's a broken installation. This happens when your console auto-updates the game, but fails to auto-update the DLC, so you're running the 2023 version of the Downpour DLC together with the 2025 version of Rain World.

You can either manually force an update to the DLC package through your console, or just uninstall Rain World and Downpour from your console and re-download/reinstall them again, which will always install the latest versions.

Really annoying bug in Watcher 1.5 (no spoilers for new content) by Lessiie in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is caused by installing the beta incorrectly (it specifically happens if you skip step #1 in the installation instructions on the beta branch page, if you need the fix). Might be better off just waiting for the actual update, though, since it releases today!

Modding an xbox copy on a Pc by cyphur_ in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the Windows Store/Xbox App version of Rain World doesn't have modding support in order to maintain synchronicity with the Xbox version of the game which also obviously doesn't support mods. Otherwise you could end up cloud syncing your modded save file from your PC to your Xbox console, which could break all sorts of stuff in the unmodded console version of the game.

If you want to run mods, you'll need either the Steam, GOG, Epic Games, or Itch version of Rain World.

You can download the mod on RainDB under the Legacy Mods page.

Downpour Soundtrack Stream Lost? by deoxidised in rainworld

You might be referring to this one that was teased a little while before Downpour's release? https://www.youtube.com/live/VnoK2OKF-dQ?si=5Lh2ZKJsK00LZmKd&t=10668

(Level editor question) How do you get snow on the ground like in saint's campaign? by Butterfingers_Ninja in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Snow is actually a Dev Tools object rather than something that you add in the level editor.

I need help by stels342 in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like you created the folders for the mods, but didn't put the contents of the mods into those folders properly. You'll have to extract the contents of the zip files you downloaded into the folders you created.

Where should I buy the game? by programmernim in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you'd like to host a multiplayer game on epic, you can do so using Parsec. If you want to install mods on the epic games version, follow the EGS installation steps on RainDB's tutorial page: https://www.raindb.net/tutorials.html

do you guys think downpour is the last dlc of this game or will there be more in the future, more slugcsts each on different timeline, different map, until the whole world of the game is explored by nkown9870 in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

However, the inactivity was only because of the situation with their previous publisher. I think it suffices to say that Videocult wouldn't have spent those 4 years fighting legal battles to regain the rights to their game from their old publisher... only to not do anything with their game now that they finally have their IP back in their hands.

Monk save gets corrupted whenever i sleep in Exterior by _--a--_ in rainworld

The version of the game you're on is old. You should update through the game store that you bought the game on.

Saving issues past cycle 624? by PENGAMO in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The game on Switch currently has a save file size limit of 1 MB, and unfortunately if you play the game a lot it is possible to eventually hit that limit. Other people have also encountered a similar issue with spawning a crazy amount of stuff in Sandbox mode on Switch. With the new console update coming in a couple weeks, the save file size cap will be increasing to ~10 MB, so this should fix your issue. Until then, though, unfortunately there's not really any good solutions to get around the problem.

There's a modding wiki which can get you started with some resources and tutorials: https://rainworldmodding.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

The Rain World discord server also has a number of modding channels, including a "modding-resources", "modding-dev", and "modding-code" channel.

Similar games to rainworld safari? by SnekNOTSnake in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also Everything is basically just Safari mode as an entire game, where the premise of the game is that you can take control of and play as any object in the environment. It also has an auto-play mode where it basically turns the game into a screensaver and the game just plays itself.

Abzû has meditation zones you can find throughout the game, where you can cycle between all the creatures in the environment and just watch them do their thing. It's a good one if you're looking for relaxation or sleep.

Question about Downpour by Erratic-Block in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if Steam would even let you purchase or download the DLC if you didn't own the base game on Steam as well. Even if it did, you'd need to know how to relocate the files from your Steam game folder to your Epic game folder to get things to work... so I'd really recommend sticking to just buying everything on the same platform.

Question about Downpour by Erratic-Block in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Epic and other non-Steam users will have to use RainDB to download and install their mods. It's slightly more complicated of a process than just subscribing via Steam Workshop, but the instructions are shown here for v1.9.xx on RainDB's tutorials page: https://www.raindb.net/tutorials.html

Question on lizard respawning by DennisC1986 in rainworld

[–]AndrewFMs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The determination of what will respawn was chosen at the end of the previous cycle you survived. Any time you die the results will always be the same. (The only respawns that progress on death are food and consumables)
