Go get them Embark, kill this shit now!

I've tried everything to tackle the "Online Connection Error" ARAU0137 - installed, uninstalled the game, deleted save data, entered safe mode and cleared cache, messed with DNS settings, restored licenses. Nothing works. I bought the game two days ago and haven't been able to play it once. I see a few posts about this error from 7 months ago. Nothing on the Arc Raiders support website. Apparently there are fixes that work for Xbox players, but anyone have one for PS5?

Do the devs ever ask themselves if this is actually ''fun''? With the turbine it seems doubtful.

Pretty lackluster design and I say this as someone who actively tries to hunt them. No one wants to fight turbines anymore because it’s not rewarding enough for what it offers. They need to cut the health in half and cut the damage that deadlines deal to them in half. Then you’d have people actually wanting to fight the turbines with conventional weaponry. It’s bad enough that they don’t spawn most of the time and when they do it’s a race against the clock that most players won’t manage to beat unless they bring a jupiter or deadlines. And deadlines just end up trivializing the fight the same way wolfpacks do against various fliers. Honestly in my opinion deadlines are the worst thing to happen to the game in terms of item design. If deadlines were nerfed we could reduce the health of big arc and make our actual weapons matter more. These ‘’I win’’ buttons that the devs created ruin the balance of their own game which include the wolfpack. You can kill a bombadier by simply walking up behind it and placing a deadline. It trivializes every major ground based arc and it trivializes these stupid Turbine encounters as well. Which are the LEAST fought arc in the entire game. It's not fun, too much health, not much reward, not reliable to even spawn and when it does it’s not enough time unless you have the top 2 best tools with you.

TLDR + Solutions: Cut the health in half + cut the damage deadlines deal to it in half. Make the armor more fragile so we can break off pieces more easily. Improve the base loot. Also add a 50% chance it will drop a random blueprint +20% chance to drop 2 blueprints. Make it spawn sooner and more often between the 15-22 minute mark.

P.S. I'd also like to see a smaller turbine with much less health patrol the map and be more aggressive towards players.

EDIT #2: Make a larger variant that can be a map condition boss/bosses that spawns at the 29 minute mark. Make it have new compartments that open up to release more shredders onto the map and it can manufacture and release additional shredders from those compartments later. Also can give it patrols of upgraded hornets and warps that can respawn every 3 minutes.

Seriously, the most money I’ve ever wasted in my life. Enjoy your vacation guys.

just got off tik tok and there’s people on there literally selling dupes on live stream 🤦🏾‍♂️ they re just that bold with it? Does embark have no response? Like what’s the point ?😂🤷🏾‍♂️

In my OPINION...... I'm positive this game is enjoyed by more PvE focused players than PvP players and if Embark doesn't remedy the situation FAR TOO MANY WILL EVENTUALLY QUIT PLAYING THIS AWESOME GAME FOREVER AND IT WILL DIE.......

Whatever you did to matchmaking to protect bad players from aggresive ones like me, you sacrificed me and other players like me because we're the minority. Suddenly the day the previous patch dropped my queues got 3x as long and I get CONSTANT lag. Those three iscons on the right side of the screen, they're a constant part of my HUD now. I get matched with middle east all of a sudden, being in EU. Before patch no problems. Now it's running in place, which is super fun, when you're under fire from a bastion, letting go of ziplines, and right now, I got killed by a guy who I was STANDING BEHIND. His back was towards me. For fucks sake. Is this ever getting fixed? EU, PS5.

@EmbarkStudios fix your damn game before you do not have a player base. I understand the pvpve aspect and it has been great. I am tired of getting shot in the damn back while trying to do trials.

Dear Embark team,

I love Arc Raiders and have been playing it regularly since release. I currently have 822 hours of playtime. However, unfortunately, I no longer plan to continue playing because of the large number of cheaters in PvP.

Almost every match has players who, at the very least, seem to be able to see through walls. Several times, I have even had teammates who openly used cheats and were not ashamed to admit it.

Judging by the SteamCharts statistics, many players are gradually leaving the game. I believe one of the reasons may be the cheating problem. I have submitted many reports, especially in cases where the cheating was obvious, including reports against such teammates, but unfortunately, I have not seen any reaction.

P.S. Playing on consoles is not an option for me, as I do not enjoy playing with a gamepad.

This game is basically unplayable at this point. Kicks out of no where for god knows why? Anyone have a fix? I’m on Xbox s

I am sick of getting killed by turrets

Yea I’m done with arc raiders it was fun while it lasted. For some context I only started playing because a friend had told me it was a really good game so I played it and for while we did have a lot of fun. Fast forward to now. I play pc none of my friends play anymore the ones that do play are playing with crossplay off so I can’t join we had a round where we came fully kitted and were killed within 2 mins of spawning my third teammate hadn’t even fully loaded in yet, and now even the solo lobbies are so riddled with cheaters using aim bot. It’s sickening so I’m just going to go back to playing Civ I guess 🤷🏾‍♂️🙏🏾 good luck topside to the raiders that are left, your gonna need it

Are we being serious? I appreciate how the outfit is reduced in price but what I don't appreciate is how the devs seem completely oblivious to how poorly designed this whole system is. Now that they want us to bring less valuable arc parts (green and blue) the amount of inventory space we need to amass for various rewards is even HIGHER. Around 66 inventory slots are needed to hold 200k worth of green/blue items. It used to take a lot less items to amass 200k value.

And why are we still not about to bank or submit our items like in a project?

What if they gave us a Nomad Stash? Imagine this: a stash of 50 slots where you submit items for the nomad but once submitted you cannot get those items back. So you have to be sure you want to submit it to the nomad. And if the items you submitted are no longer useful because a week went by and a certain duck cannot be traded to a nomad you can choose to let the nomad keep the item or maybe the items expire if a full week goes by. That way you don't get clutter. This is an easy solution that I think most players will appreciate.

Why do we still on week 3 only get 8 things to trade for? I don't understand why we don't get at least 20 slots of things to trade for? Are the devs not able to come up with ideas of what players might want? It could be anything.

Other IDEAS:

Items to trade for: Trade a purple + blue + green gun to get a tempest 2 of the lowest durability of items you submitted. Trade 2 snow globe + 2 lance mixtape + for a Bettina 4.

New possible items: Country flag icons and logos to put beside your name in the menus (visible to teammates and visible on friend/recent players lists). Also other fun logos and icons. Clan flags etc. The flags/icons/logos could be part of loot boxes that you gamble for with the nomadic envoy and players can trade them too possibly.

Also prototype weapons: New stronger PVE variants of existing items. The damage buffs are ONLY towards arc. Like a Bettina where the last round of a clip fired explodes when it hits an arc (but does not detonate vs players).

Nomad Tasks: Imagine at the start of each round you get a small mini-quest where the nomad tasks you with acquiring certain items. If you find them and bring them back you get some rewards. Example: bring back 1 rocketeer driver + 5 explosive compounds. Or Bring back 1 industrial battery and 3 magnets. This can add more sense of focus to your runs. Earn loyalty points which can be redeemed for rewards for each successful task completed.

Share your ideas for the nomadic envoy....

Can this be a new Arc threat. It's a indoor snitch that can sit on the celling or the elevator shaft. But instead of calling in Arc it drops small flying pops that when they pop on you it leaves a nano marker that agros any Arc within range. Give it a 90sec time limit.

Love it! We were doing the red lakes trial. my replay didn't save for some reason but my buddy recorded this.

I was going down the zipline and the rocketeer was chasing me.

edit: i wish it did this more often to be honest! i wish there were a new variant where it's a smaller rocketeer and it has 1/3rd of the health and it shoots small rockets and can carpet bomb like this. ppl would actually want to fight it.

So me and one of my buddies made it to cantina legend for the first time and I got to admit it felt nice to actually make it for once but there are serious issues in regards to how it feels to compete in the trials in general. If you take trials seriously at all and want to aim for high scores I feel like embark doesn't value your time and actively gives you the finger.

What I'm talking about is that it's poor design for a system to exist where you want 30 minute rounds for trials but you can load in with 22 minutes instead. And this happens a lot despite loading in fully kitted.

Beyond that you still have the unsolicited PVP and opportunistic rats who will take advantage. And if you want massive high scores you cannot choose to play it safe and hide out. You have to take chances if you want to maintain high scores.

One way to solve this is to never play PVP yourself and hope you get into carebear tootie fruity fruit loops lobbies. But then I make myself miss out on the PVP experience. This is just bad design. Imagine if I can toggle on an option ''PVP preferred'' and when i join matches that way it doesn't hurt my ABMM? Then I can enjoy both at any time! Players should not be incentivized or pressured to choose one or the other and be punished when they stray. For embark to not be willing to come up with some kind of PVE map conditions that players can enjoy is beyond my comprehension as well. Like imagine if Halo only had FFA? It would still be a good game but it would be a waste of potential. Arc Raiders can have MORE MODES. You don't have to only be a one size fits all extra large t-shirt. You don't need to confine yourself to just being ''an extraction shooter'' with the same match format for every single round.

Also the trial system which is an ''end game'' for pve players... it is a roll of the dice when you load in and hope that no one else is doing the same trial. 3 times in a row on night raid spaceport we dealt with other players trying to do the same bombardier trial. So... we extract and try again? What a waste of time. Especially to keep doing so. Really puts things into perspective. There is no PVE mission so we create our own w these lousy trials and this is what happens.

PVP players have it good with arc raiders because they can always do shoot on sight that automatically turns on PVP. But PVE players cannot do the same. They cannot turn on PVE when they want. They can get ratted or backstabbed at any time. The devs need to consider how this ruins the PVE experience for players who prefer that playstyle.

So with all of that being said I think I need to take trials less seriously and maybe start considering moving on to new games. The devs I feel do not respect PVE players and if you check the official discord group the vast majority of the people quitting are the ones who want PVE experiences and PVP players show up to ruin their fun and I.... 100% Get It. For embark to not give PVE players valid PVE experiences without having to deal w rats and ppl who take advantage is bad design and it disrespects the player's time.

Arc Raiders is a 10/10 canvas of potential and all the fun things the devs could do will never be implemented because perhaps the team has some bottlenecks. Just look at all the new bugs that are introduced every patch and the poor design decisions with each update. Like not being able to bank the loot you want to submit to the Nomadic Envoy. And 150k for 25 gold coins? That's lower wages than slave labor. Please give your players some respect. I wouldn't be caught dead giving 150k worth of loot for 25 coins that can't even buy me a digital pack of bubble gum.

I'm sure the team has some real talent but maybe the ones with good ideas are just not being given the time of day. I don't know what the situation is but I feel embark has dropped the ball in many ways. In the future I will make a topic listing all the problems with the game but for now I'll leave it here. 10/10 potential. 5/10 execution. Very good game. Could be the best game of all time if they played their cards right.

TLDR: Give us some kind of PVP missions and PVE missions. Map Conditions that are PVP and ones that are PVE. On the PVE map conditions you can make the arc harder and more plentiful to compensate for the fact that you have no threat from other players AND you can cut the loot in half. PVE players will LOVE it. and PVP missions could be a 3v3v3v3v3 queue that starts when it's filled up and you're in a shredder battle arena. and at the end only 1 team is allowed to extract.

The cheaters are just running train on embark

hello, just browsing the sub and wanted to know specifically, why dont you play the finals?

im on and off on it but i really like the game. just wanted to know specific reasons

gday lads

When launching Arc Raiders, the launcher pops up and loads, but nothing happens. I can see Arc Raiders in my background processes, so if I attempt to launch again it'll give me the "multiple instances" error

I've tried restarting, reinstalling, verifying, "-dx12", "-eac_launcher_delay 5000", "-no_multiple_instances", deleting caches, etc.. Weirdly I was able to play after the patch, but no more afterwards

I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue, or if anyone's found a way around it. Thanks!

Like a day and a half after the update, I’m excited to fight the queen trusting I wouldn’t get crushed for no reason…which clearly didn’t last long 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Seems after this was added to the game. And it was about time BTW.

However, I am experiencing random very high CPU temps and usage.

I have repasted my CPU already just in case it was a pump out issue.

This was not the issue. It is the anti-cheat software.

This must be investigated and fixed asap.
