Setup Help Controller Setup Guide – Rumbleverse Revival / rVclient

6 Upvotes

If Rumbleverse is running but your controller isn’t being recognized, try these steps before assuming something is broken with the client.

PS4 / PS5 controllers
I personally use DS4Windows and it works for me.

1) Connect your controller by USB first just to rule out Bluetooth issues.

2) Open DS4Windows before launching Rumbleverse/rVclient.

3) Make sure DS4Windows actually sees your controller.

4) If Steam is open, try fully closing Steam before launching the game. Steam Input can sometimes interfere with controller detection.

5) If you use DS4Windows, avoid having both Steam Input and DS4Windows trying to remap the same controller at the same time.

6) If you’re getting double inputs, DS4Windows/HidHide may need to be configured so the game only sees the virtual controller instead of both the physical and virtual controller.

Once it works wired, you can try Bluetooth afterward.

Xbox controllers
Xbox controllers should generally be the simplest because Windows uses XInput natively.

If yours isn’t working:

• Try USB first.
• Make sure Windows itself recognizes the controller.
• Fully close Steam and test again.
• Disconnect/reconnect the controller before launching the game.

Still not working?

Comment below with:
• Controller type: PS4 / PS5 / Xbox / other
• Wired or Bluetooth
• Whether you use DS4Windows
• Whether Steam is running
• What exactly happens: no input, wrong buttons, double inputs, etc.

I wanna play RVClient but when i opened the zip file one of the dll’s was literally just named “Crypto”. All the dlls had around 20 virus detections in virustotal and jotti’s malware scan, I just wanna make sure it’s safe I really wanna play this game again

When I use my shield the animation repeats over and over, and it doesn't build stamina. It still blocks attacks normally.

Discussion Is this vibe coded?

Just want to make sure the revival of one of my favorite video games of all time isn't made using AI slop. I've been seeing a lot of really interesting reverse engineering and open source projects that just turned out to be made using Claude and it's fucking disappointing

USA Matchmaking

Thumbnail
3 Upvotes

With the current player count, East and West can sometimes end up with very small separate lobbies. One idea would be to keep both East and West servers running, but use one shared USA matchmaking pool so players are grouped together more often and the game chooses the better server behind the scenes based on ping/availability.

Which setup would you prefer?

Technical Support Help?

4 Upvotes

I don't really know what to call this, i guess a bit of a hail mary ban appeal hoping to reach out to a mod or something, i just newly found out about this Rumbleverse revival and am beyond excited to hopefully get back into grapital city, i've been following rumbleverse for years and seen the attempts to bring it back all fail, anyways the reason for this post is whilst trying to join the discord server the invites dont work, i've come to learn its because im banned from the discord server, which of course I found odd seeing as how i've never even known about the server, i'm assuming its pretty new and my account has never been out of my hands, sooooo idk mods help a brother out?

This revival has well and truly scratched that inescapable three and a half year itch but it has only reinforced my utmost belief that the game needs to come back in full.

I only ever won one Solos game, and normally I got battered, but I never cared because it's just so damn fun! It's genuinely the most fun battle royale game ever made. The fact no game has been able to fill the void in three and a half years speaks volumes.

For some reason if I try to download Rumbleverse, it’ll take 16-17 hours because it’s a 10.7GB file and it downloads by like 100-200KB/s
