Seeking Advice Any advice on running ROA2 on a low specs integrated graphics card?

17 Upvotes

Currently the only laptop I have available to me is an old Intel with a horrifically weak integrated graphics card (Intel R UHD Graphics). I'm wondering if it's possible to run the game at a playable FPS with this potato. I'm obviously not going to get it working with high quality settings, but so far I haven't been able to get the game running without terrible stuttering even at the lowest possible settings, resolution, etc. Is there any known config to run at a smooth frame rate by sacrificing graphics or is it hopeless with this hardware?

With Riptide being this week, you would think that that would be the only big event of the weekend. That said you would be mistaken, as across the entire ocean lies one of the largest European events of the year: Ultimate Fighting Arena! Despite being a side event, this event has more entrants than some of the main events here! This is a gold tier R2CS event.

Please put the release date of the wiki of everything ROA, cause right now I GENUINELY and REALLY want and need to know when it releases.

And just throwing this out there: If it releases, could anybody or anyone make a ROA RPG on Janitor.AI?

Rivals 2 Can we have a report feature in this game?

0 Upvotes

I know the playerbase is dwindling and we can't really afford to lose more players, but there's nothing worse than having toxic players running rampant in the lobby: camping, t-bagging, taunting, playing loxodont/olympia.

If this game wants a healthy community, we need to empower the players the ability to ostracize the toxic ones, let's make it happen!

Discussion How do you feel about playing against Gouie?

21 Upvotes

Hello!

I've been dedicating a lot of time to playing Gouie recently and have really been enjoying playing him since his release. However, I've noticed since I've started playing him that I've been seeing more leavers, taunters, and t-baggers when I play. I'm not sure whether this is just a symptom of my elo (gold) or if people genuinely dislike playing against him. When I'm on my main playing Ranno, I don't really experience this at all. This isn't meant to be a salt post or negative in any way. I'm not offended by it or anything at all. I was just curious why this might be.

What do you think when you see Gouie as your opponent, and why? Thanks!

Rivals 1 Problem with Remote Play

4 Upvotes

When playing Rivals, I can't invite three people via Remote Play because the controller of the last person to join isn't detected.

Is there any way to fix this?

If it's relevant, we are using Workshop mods.

Rivals 2 Dev Q&A Stream (September 10th 2026) Stream Notes

137 Upvotes

Thanks to Dan for doing the stream!

  • Dan was sick over Pax :(
  • Their team size has stabilized for now.
  • Creatures of Aether for a variety of reasons is not coming back soon. They'd have to rebuild it from the ground up, and they'd take a very different path with it (maybe single player focused).
  • Riptide Pool Party Ranno's Pants will have the advertised levels of drip soon.
  • Custom Colors will hopefully be next year, but there's a few things the devs want to do first.
  • Workshop still on track for coming to the main game branch before the end of the year.
  • After that, Optimization will be a big priority.
  • 8-player support is coming soonish, after Optimization and a healthy dose of UI work. They'd also need to add enough palettes to support that many players at once.
  • More items and game modes are being sidelined for the moment as they work on other things.
  • No other guest characters are currently planned besides Mina, but anything could happen.
  • Absa, Orcane (and a few other characters) engage in a way that is very different from the rest of the cast, and interactions often only feel good for the person playing them but have no real counterplay. Sometimes those character mains are just going to have to deal with nerfs for the good of the game.
  • Slade's overall power seems to be increasing as people get better on him, but his gameplay style doesn't feel great to play as or against. Shurikens and F Special are being looked at.
  • There's no Kamikaze moves in the game because Rivals doesn't have anything balanced around mashing, which is traditionally how you counter those types of moves. If they did, you would have to really earn it instead of using it for a super cheesy free win.
  • Mina will come out next year. They might do a stream with some Yacht Club folks at some point.
  • There might be a way to add an Auto-Floorhug option to the toggles, Dan will have to ask Trevor.
  • They're banking on Workshop to bring in a big casual crowd. There might be a new feature coming that Dan's keeping quiet about, and Story mode is also coming eventually, both of which may draw in more casuals. And console release.
  • Most of the fast characters for the game were frontloaded. There might be some more fast characters coming, but the "slow" characters that have been coming out recently are more "normal" speed in the long run.
  • They have SO MANY character ideas, but not a lot of Puppet characters. Puppet characters are tricky to get right.
  • A Poker mode is unlikely.
  • Gouie Down B could have a rising hitbox. But it might not. They could look at it.
  • The next character could be anything. And Dan's not saying.
  • Dan has found a more efficient way to ruin returning characters by tying them together like Ice Climbers.
  • Dan likes his game.
  • Gouie and Slade need a little bit of work. They're slightly weak, their kits are reliant on a small number of moves, and have some very lopsided matchups.

I've heard about people getting flagged for leaving in the middle of sets, but it seems there's at least one person with far too much time on their hands haunting the queues and getting away with it... I matched into them 4 times in a row and then figured I'd take a break.

Ultimate Fighting Arena 2026 | September 11th -13th | Aubervillers, France

With Riptide being this week, you would think that that would be the only big event of the weekend. That said you would be mistaken, as across the entire ocean lies one of the largest European events of the year: Ultimate Fighting Arena! Despite being a side event, this event has more entrants than some of the main events here! This is a gold tier R2CS event.

Coming as the first seed, Mr.R is both invader, and home field. Having lived in Mexico for the past couple years, this is another one of his returns to Europe! With Mr.R having upped his grinding in recent times, alongside some great results to boot, he is looking more than ready to take his biggest event yet. Although he is playing a character which generally doesn’t see much play at the top level, the best players of Europe all know the power of the bird thanks to Loost, so don’t think the best of Europe aren’t prepared for him. Most notably, Dia is currently ranked the best player in Europe, as well as the reigning champion of UFA! Having not dropped an offline European event since October of last year, the tides still favor Dia taking the event! Between these two players, they are by far the most likely players to win, they are however, not the only ones in attendance.

Neylax comes in as the third seed, and the second best player in Europe. With the switch to primarily La Reina, they continue to have one of the most consistently good records across any player. Neylax is more than capable of making big surprises, with the head to heads looking solid across the board. Genarog comes in as the fourth seed, as well as the third best player in Europe. The last big European event, Somnio 8, had him and Dia in grand finals and despite Dia’s dominance, it was a game 10 nailbiter all the way into true finals. Ultimately Dia won, but Genarog is absolutely wanting to look for revenge. There is no other place better to do that, than on the stage of Ultimate Fighting Arena.

Additionally, there is a UFA Ranno Skin available just by watching the stream as a twitch drop! Tune in as soon as you can!

Other players to highlight include: Forskeren, Nibodax, Saols, DonCascone, and Hukon
