Risk of Rain Returns Known Issues, Workarounds and Fixes

Official PC 1.1.0 fix history for co-op disconnects, damage desync, silent startup audio and UI scaling, plus the documented limit on experimental lobbies.

PC
Documented workaround

Legacy 1.0.5 branch has older behaviour

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The publisher provides a legacy 1.0.5 beta branch. Players intentionally using that branch should not expect the new 1.1.0 communication systems or its fixes to be present. [2]

Limits & applicability

  • The published legacy-branch password is themacrobesdidnothingwrong. It is an opt-in older build, not a universal crash workaround. [2]
Officially acknowledged

Experimental lobbies above four players

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The host can raise Player Limit as high as 32, but the developer explicitly warns that groups above four are not properly supported. Treat instability in a large lobby separately from a failure in the normal supported group size. [1]

Limits & applicability

  • The expanded cap is an experimental option. It does not establish that every run, item interaction or connection works reliably with 32 participants. [1]
Resolved

Client damage and enemy-position desync

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The patch records corrections to co-op damage calculations and geyser-related enemy-position desync. When comparing a current report with this history, distinguish incorrect damage from an enemy appearing in a different position for different players. [1]

Resolved

Co-op disconnections and duplicate players

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Version 1.1.0 changes disconnection handling and fixes a duplicate-player case caused by rapidly disconnecting and reconnecting. These are recorded fixes for particular network behaviours, rather than a guarantee against any future connection loss. [1]

Resolved

Game starts muted with Mute When Unfocused enabled

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The developer fixed a startup condition in which Mute When Unfocused left the game silent. The notes describe the trigger as starting the game while its window was not focused; they do not identify every missing-sound report as this fault. [1]

Resolved

HUD or chat misplaced at different scale settings

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Version 1.1.0 fixes chat placement when HUD and zoom scales differ, plus item-HUD overlap and off-screen placement. Keep the scale values with a current UI report so its trigger can be compared with the developer’s recorded fix. [1]
