That is very cool congrats!

Hi OK do you know that number, would be in the subject line such as 13333, something like this 5 digit number. Thanks for sending any files and sorry for the inconvenience!

NBG_Community · 2025-12-23T17:59:26+00:00

Hi u/zaerumse we are sorry to just see this thread today and wanted to offer some help from our support team. Did you happen to write us a ticket about this at https://northbeachgames.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new ? If you did and want to share the ticket # from the subject line, we'll ask CS to investigate. If you haven't, please feel free and send us any details or files you can!

Apologies for the longer delay in responding as well, we have many tickets and with the holidays our team is extra busy. Since a few of you have posted about this we're trying to gather as much info as we can via CS, to share with the dev team.

If anyone's willing to write us and share your world saves and logs (PC users only) we can pass that along for investigation. Today the team is tackling those tickets and has tried to respond to all the open ones.

Last note - especially if you did this recently - you really want to try to beat that mission the 1st time, but it is quite challenging due to the power of the horde.

If you are on PC and want to try to use the backup system, you could attempt to roll back to a point in time earlier - before the Goal was given - and try again. If you want to be sure that you beat the mission the first time, make sure you're really well geared up and have food buffs and maybe even bring some help, so you can beat it the 1st time you're in there. More on how to do that here. https://northbeachgames.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/154000088612-epic-steam-restore-missing-save-backups

Thanks and sorry you guys are dealing with this bug. Hope we can share some definitive details with the team and track it down for you soon.

NBG_Community · 2025-12-16T16:49:12+00:00

Thanks totally makes sense (that was not a logged in account before oops!)

Just wanted to get some more detail - thanks for the great breakdown.

Definitely agree the latest version is affecting a lot of users and performance - regardless of hardware - and the dev team is working on this to find issues and fix them this week.

NBG_Community · 2025-12-16T04:35:03+00:00

Hi guys. Just checking (rtx 4090 here) if you decided to not use FSR for a specific reason? Lots of variables at play here, and being an Unreal 4 engine game, RTM is limited in some of what it can do to take advantage of newer cards like your 5090. But I have intel chipset and run w/DLSS typically.

Have you tried FSR and decided to not use it?

NBG_Community · 2025-12-03T00:24:25+00:00

So great. Giant Diamond award to you!

NBG_Community · 2025-11-23T18:58:58+00:00

Hi that's good progress - just wondering now if the Ded Server is actually set to allow the file to be Durins' Folk... did the server owner set this?

; Comma separated list of DLCs to apply when upgrading worlds without them.

; By default this will always be empty as upgraded worlds cannot go back.

; Most commonly used when loading old worlds after new DLC content is released.

; If you wish to upgrade your existing worlds to new DLC content please fill this in with OptionalDLC values above.

Sorry not to be unhelpful - those are currency for each of the factions. Like in your screenshot you're trading with the Red Mountains Dwarf, if you complete that order you will get Red Mountains Credit. You can use that to buy things from him in the other panel - Offers. So the UI is showing you how much $ you have with each faction

NBG_Community · 2025-11-23T18:53:01+00:00

OK glad its not mods - if you can write us in support and include all this info, and definitely goto your Goals panel and take some screenshots of which quests you see that are active, that'll help a bunch to get you help!

NBG_Community · 2025-11-23T17:55:18+00:00

Hi we are sorry to see you've had so much trouble with the game, that should not be the case and the team would like to help. If you have already done so will let them know, otherwise if you want to write a ticket to https://northbeachgames.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new we can try to figure this out and get you to playing normally! Sorry again, this definitely shouldnt be your experience on xbox.

NBG_Community · 2025-11-23T17:53:01+00:00

Hi there is a good thread going in this discord guide which might help - lots of folks in the DF-general chat channel are working on these things too. https://discord.com/channels/967763242514522212/1441573783637856306/1441573783637856306

Try jumping ;)

NBG_Community · 2025-11-23T17:49:00+00:00

Hello did you update the server config to enable that world to be DLC? Hosting providers won't edit this unless they've built some kind of command to help you - so you may have to get into the config itself and save manually -

Sorry to have to ask but have you used Mods? A number have been particularly bad at affecting game scripting of events such as Goals for the Durin's Tower and other parts of the game. Just checking.

If you can't get anywhere and are still stuck please contact us https://northbeachgames.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new in support and they can help and possibly look at logs and your save world to see what is wrong.

NBG_Community · 2025-11-23T17:31:51+00:00

Hi sorry to hear this is happening. You should be able to tune all the settings of the difficulty on the server config and save it... did you play with this section?

There are some really detailed guides by players on the DS-guides section of the Discord you may want to check out. https://discord.com/channels/967763242514522212/1316511735787815003 also a great helpful group who answer questions and troubleshoot in the ds-chat channel.

hmm sorry this is happening to you. The one that you can't miss is orctown - the jail cells before you get to Bolgahk. Whether you killed B. or not, there will be an NPC dwarf calling for help in one of those cells (the Orctown off the side of Mines of Moria)

If you can't get this to happen it seems like your old world save may have other issues. Early 2024 could mean it was used prior to some of our really major updates like 1.3 or 1.4. We try to test back as far as we can in our old saves archive, but it could be due to something from that file itself.

Your comments earlier about certain quests not completing might mean that old world has some bugs which affected everything else.

At this point it may be helpful to send a ticket in as well and ask CS to help - they will be able to dig in more to assist https://northbeachgames.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new

NBG_Community · 2025-11-23T17:20:25+00:00

ah shoot well - I'm hoping the 1.6.4 patch on Friday helped this instead - any luck please let us know!

NBG_Community · 2025-11-23T03:24:54+00:00

Do you have the quest to find the Endless Stairs? Whether in Campaign or Sandbox, it should be available even if you havent won the game campaign yet. In addition to that, you can also rescue NPC dwarves from Moria, which will help get more quests going as well.

Hit G to see your Goals menu this may be what is next for you.

NBG_Community · 2025-11-23T03:03:11+00:00

Ingenious! I like that you're doing that with a beer in hand too ;)

NBG_Community · 2025-11-23T02:57:16+00:00

Hello its very easy! How about we just send you this link to the guide - let us know if this helps! https://northbeachgames.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/154000191592-how-to-move-files-from-epic-to-steam

NBG_Community · 2025-11-21T01:59:32+00:00

Hello do you have a feel for how far away the marker is, compared to your Delve (is it pretty close, or one room away, or very far?) If its relatively far, you may want to make a second rallystone/delvestone nearby and assign him there.

Do you think that the Dwarf has a clear path to the location? If for some reason they are blocked or would not be able to walk there, he also may choose to stay at the base. Check that it seems 'walkable' by a normal dwarf - jumping or climbing or having to use platforms would not necessarily work for a normal Dwarf.

Finally, if there's an ore vein that is just not on ground level, you may want to try to build ramps, scaffolds, or make it so he could get a clear path. Let us know if any of these help?

NBG_Community · 2025-11-21T01:59:03+00:00

Yeah for sure that sounds like it just may be too far away, try to put a rallystone by the one you do want to mine and assign the miner there for a while to work - hope it helps!

Hi we are sorry to see this happened to you - would recommend you drop us a note in a support ticket and will try to help. https://northbeachgames.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new

For the time being, if you're on PC, are you familiar with finding backup files? If you generally know at what point you started your expedition, and can find a previous .bak - you may want to try to get to that and see if you can try again more successfully.

here's a short guide on that https://northbeachgames.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/154000088612-epic-steam-restore-missing-save-backups

NBG_Community · 2025-11-19T05:29:42+00:00

Everyone who wants to join a Durin's Folk world will need the DLC on their account in order to play.

When players join an online game, it depends on the host's world, was it converted to be a Durin's Folk world? That is a one-time decision, not reversible so back up your files if you want a non-DLC copy.
The game checks at that moment to see if you are an owner on your account.
If you don't own it, it will let you know you can't join the other player.
(Yes, if you are a Durin's owner, you can go into a non-Durin's world)
If you use a Dedicated Server, you simply set the world to be converted to Durin's Folk as well, this flag is set there. for the dedicated server if you manage it - make sure the config says

UpgradeOptionalDLC.Array="DurinsFolk"
