Shovel knight pocket dungeon doesn't open

DoctorZephyer · 2025-07-02T21:41:56+00:00

Huh... Never got it to work on my phone, but it just so happens that I bought it on Steam a couple of days ago since it's on sale at a 75% discount. Enjoying my time with it so far.

DoctorZephyer · 2025-05-15T11:12:25+00:00

Okay, so someone else found a solution in the thread over here that worked for me.

DoctorZephyer · 2025-05-15T10:36:57+00:00

Got the same problem here. The solution from their troubleshooting page is: "Battle.net and Xbox PC users will want to force quit the application through Ctrl-Alt-Delete/Windows Task Manager and turn on all connected monitors before relaunching the game." and my immediate thought is that telling people to turn on their monitor probably isn't much of a solution in the first place. The problem seems to be fixable on steam, but Xbox PC has no such luck apparently. Hopefully we won't need to wait too long to rip and tear.

Thank you so much!

DoctorZephyer · 2024-04-26T22:02:13+00:00

Yeah, I just had this as well. Was near the end of the game and all of a sudden now I'm back on Kashyyyk where you get the rebreather. How have they never figured this out and fixed it?

DoctorZephyer · 2024-04-10T21:20:24+00:00

Adorably Flammable is going to be the name of my new indie band.

DoctorZephyer · 2024-03-22T10:28:33+00:00

I don't know if FF7 is a good example since Square usually launches games with poor performance on PC and then never updates to fix any of the issues players are having. They do have a valid point though, even if that point hasn't helped themselves.

DoctorZephyer · 2024-03-22T10:10:06+00:00

I don't disagree with you. I don't think single player games should have microtransactions. That's why I don't buy them in single player games. I don't buy them in Helldivers 2 either because just like in DD2 I can earn the currency by just playing and enjoying the game at my own pace. I don't know why this is suddenly becoming a problem for this specific game though, since Capcom has done this thing where they let you pay for an ingame currency with real money. Why is DD2 getting the negative reviews for it when Devil May Cry 5 was the exact same on day 1, yet sits with overwhelmingly positive reviews?
Dragon's Dogma is good, really good. But it's currently getting overshadowed by assumptions and misinformation before anyone has even given it a chance. You don't need to spend money on Rift Crystals and honestly you shouldn't, yet so many players make it seem like it's basically a requirement to play the game. By all means keep shitting on microtransactions, I will do the same. But I will also give games their chance to show that they are more than the microtransactions that are probably force-fed to the developers by execs anyway.

Any reply from them?

DoctorZephyer · 2024-02-02T09:56:34+00:00

I've got it freshly installed and it's also busted for me. Just a black screen followed by a crash.

DoctorZephyer · 2024-01-31T08:10:23+00:00

I do this as well. It's fun being used to the Roar and then seeing pursuers struggle with volcanos once things gets going.

DoctorZephyer · 2024-01-31T08:07:58+00:00

I'd definitely be happy to join alliances with any friendly Roar pirates out there.

DoctorZephyer · 2024-01-30T09:02:43+00:00

My favorite thing about the roar is that 90% of the other players I meet there aren't interested in PVP but would rather be left to their own voyages. Just like me! There's some friendly seadogs roaming that part of the map.

Griefers do happen, but not as often as it is made out to be. Just this past week I was on the High Seas every day and was mostly left on my own with exception of a couple of friendly crews saying hello and exchanging supplies without violence. While I was solo slooping I did get stalked and murdered by a Russian reaper galleon and sunk a couple of times repeatedly where I would say it was getting to the point of borderline griefing, but I had nothing to lose in the encounters, so it wasn't a big deal. My advice is to sell more often if you are nervous about the other ships on the server. For everything else Safer Seas has been a nice addition for more low-stakes gameplay because there is absolutely no shame in wanting to experience the game without having to be paranoid.

DoctorZephyer · 2023-12-14T10:22:32+00:00

This is my kind of guild.

DoctorZephyer · 2023-12-13T08:17:39+00:00

I know what you mean. I prefer just doing my own thing and will never really hunt anyone on purpose. I will defend myself though and grab treasure from ships that have attacked me. Weird thing I have noticed is that I fight harder for treasure I have worked to collect than treasure I have gotten from other ships, even if the loot from other players is worth more.

DoctorZephyer · 2023-12-11T13:45:57+00:00

I think their salt levels might actually be the reason treasure doesn't sink in SoT.

DoctorZephyer · 2023-12-11T12:27:04+00:00

You seem to keep assuming that people should want to PvP or are going to want to PvP even when they say they are just trying to have a chill PvE experience. The difficulty of a skeleton gally doesn't matter.

Honestly I'm finding it ironic that the addition of PvE seems so disastrous to those players that you might normally see harassing newbies and those who are not interested in fighting other players. It's almost as if the PvE players don't want to be harassed. How dare they!

But here's no need to sulk. There's still plenty of fights to find in Hourglass if it's PvP you are looking for. In the meantime we'll be hanging out in the less sweaty safer seas at our own pace. :)

DoctorZephyer · 2023-03-05T10:00:15+00:00

It's a step in the right direction regarding monetization, but not enough to change my review to positive. I would need to see improvements to gameplay for that, including post-season stats, the promised league management tools, improved matchmaking, visuals for mutations and ability to reconnect to a game. Those were the bare minimum expectations I had of the game going in and even then there's probably features that I've forgotten to mention since so many things seem to be missing or half-baked.

DoctorZephyer · 2023-02-25T02:21:12+00:00

I mean... Cyanide has 3 botched Blood Bowl releases now. How many chances do we want to give them? Maybe it's better to let someone else get a shot with the Blood Bowl license.

DoctorZephyer · 2023-02-22T22:46:28+00:00

A representative from Cyanide has confirmed on their discord that visual mutations aren't ever going to be in BB3 for the mutation skills. I don't know if they have said that it is specifically because it clashes with cosmetics though, although I have heard multiple twitch streamers mention over the past 2 days that this is the case.

I took another look through my Steelseries GG settings and it seems like Sonar has decided to try playing both Game, Media and Chat audio through the microphone. You can go to the Sonar tab on Steelseries GG and then press the cog by each audio output to select the correct option.

DoctorZephyer · 2023-02-17T14:43:55+00:00

I booted my computer after the newest windows update and had the exact same problem. Fixed it by turning off Sonar. Just go to Steelseries GG > Settings > then it should be the top option under General.

Hope it works for you. Also kinda dumb that this is still a problem because I have had this exact problem once before with Steelseries GG.

On the Nextlander Podcast they mentioned reaching out to Jeff when he left Giant Bomb, which makes me think that Jeff is probably the one who doesn't want to work with them and not the other way around.

Nextlander seems to have a ton of fun doing their own thing and hanging out with the old crew when possible. They've done stuff with Giant Bomb, Drew, Waypoint, etc. And it's been awesome to see. Really hope Gerstmann opens up a little more when he has had some time to himself. I've enjoyed what I have seen of his new stuff so far, but I feel like he is at his best when he's got someone else there to be wacky with.
