Does anyone know how I can submit a bug report to the devs?

I keep having an issue where I'm in game, usually right at the start and it glitches and disconnects. I can't rejoin even after reboot. Then I get a rematch penalty.

Can I share some logs with someone please?

Thanks.

Following up the previous update on playing Diabotical on linux. It is now even easier to get Diabotical working on linux.

It was previous recommended to use legendary launcher directly and bypass to use of graphical launchers. At the time, I also would have recommended using legendary directly. However, with the introduction of umu-launcher and other various quality of life improvements in Heroic launcher, I highly recommend using Heroic launcher for both Epic Games and GOG Games.

EDIT: I have silently updated this even further for more clarity and improved instructions. The previous configuration I gave for Heroic launcher was not complete. The symlink instructions remain the same and is the keyfactor is getting Diabotical to play in Linux.

Prerequisites:

• Wine
• Stream (My understanding now is steam should no longer be needed to use Proton outside of steam specifically when using UMU-Launcher to launch games with proton. But let's face it, you'll probably install it anyways.)
• Heroic Launcher
• UMU-Launcher

Make sure you have the above installed. The github pages will provide instructions for your distro. Personally, I use arch linux and I installed Heroic Launcher and umu-launcher from the AUR while Wine and Steam were installed from the arch repos. NOTE: UMU-Launcher is now in the Arch multilib repo. So you don't need to install it from the AUR if prefer to avoid it.

Diabotical on linux:

• Open Heroic launcher. Select Wine Manager menu > Proton-GE tab and install Proton-GE-latest. (NOTE: You can ignore Wine-GE it is obsolete now and there is no reason to use it at this time other than potential compatibility issues with specific quirky games if you ever come across any.)
• Next go to Setting>General in the sidebar and set the default installation path for your games and wine prefix. (Note: The prefix location is the path that will contain the pseudo windows environment files for each game that is installed.)
• Now go to Game Defaults setting page and set it to use "Proton-GE-latest" as your default Wine version. (Note: You can ignore the WinePrefix folder option in the Game Defaults page.)
• Move on to the Advance settings page. Enable "Use UMU as Proton runtime".
• Now select "Manage Accounts" in the sidebar and follow the instructions to add your Epic games account.
• Once the account is added it should populate the Library section. You can install Diabotical from here. Once it is installed, go to click the settings icon to verify it is set to launch using Proton-GE-latest (it should be as long as you set it as default above, if not you can set it on a per game basis here).
• IMPORTANT: Specific to Diabotical, you must create a symlink in the Diabotical install directory. Open a terminal window and navigate to the Diabotical install folder. Use the command ln -s xaudio2_9redist.dll xaudio2_9.dll to create the symlink. You can verify it is done correctly by listing the directory contents with ls -la and you should see the symlink in the file list.

Now you can launch and play the game from Heroic launcher. Do so once before the next optional step.

• OPTIONAL: You can copy your previous Diabotical settings/bindings over from windows if you wish. They are stored in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Diabotical\CloudSave. Simply copy the Settings.txt and Bindings.txt to equivalent location in the Diabotical prefix (See above note for the prefix path) which will be found at ../Diabotical/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Diabotical/CloudSave after the game is launched at least once.

I just had a look at Steamdb and it was sitting on 1 player, so I suppose, not really? :(

Got my invite today. It has some mechanics that are similar to Diabotical.

i want to play and i want to win

hi, is there any server still active for duels in EU?

Looking to get some duels in!

Any active discord servers that have people posting if they want to duel?

Following 2GD's decision to release his new game on Steam, I wonder if it's possible to bring Diabotical to the platform as well. This could be a good opportunity to revive the lost player base.

I didn’t believe it while dueling a guy SMG vs. my Shaft but the game is seriously broken in terms of weapon balance. How come an SMG, which can be used at a (way) longer range, has a higher fire rate, range AND damage than the shaft?!

I compared and did some tests in the training range:

Shaft (wherever you shoot, whatever the range): 4 dmg/hit.

SMG in head short range: 12/hit SMG in body at shaft range: slightly less than in head but close SMG in body long range (so worst case): 6/hit

What.

There's a lot of interesting ideas in rogue that are worth trying to appeal to more general audiences. However, I feel the rng in wipeout is too much, and discourages players too much.

I find it particularly frustrating to be doing well with one loadout, and then the loadout for that class randomly changing the next round. It's too difficult for players to learn and progress with that much change between rounds.

I don't want to suffer, love you

Thank you Raven

Loadout and class my ass, what the hell is this abomination, like seriously how did you even come to idea to introduce this shit after original inspiration of quake clan arena , all guns are situational and right choice matter, ffs, and also fire the dude who designed sound , he is obviously smokes crack with the other dude who designed enemy visibility.

I am not a fan of this new gameplay. I'm sorry.

Howdy Folks! We typically play a fair bit of Quake Champions Sacrifice, but members of the NA ARENA FPS discord have requested playing Diabotical tonight. Games to be played will probably be Wipeout, McGuffin, and Freeze Tag. We have a pubobot to help keep everyone's position in line to play. Games will most likely start around 6PM Pacific | 9PM EAST.

Just gonna give up or gonna do something with the game? At least add a map or 2 to the wipeout pool or fix the servers a bit. We (9 of us) still play the game do it for us.

Man. Guess this game didn't stand the test of time.

I just recently finished building my PC, and was trying to decide between grinding Quake Champions or Diabotical as my main AFPS game. QC has decently active lobbies in a variety of game modes, it has the gritty, gorey vibe to it, and of course, it being on Steam is nice. Diabotical, on the other hand... not so active, and frankly, a very boing visual look. Seems most of the community packed up and hauled ass out.

Soooo, what is everyone playing nowadays? QC? Modded Q3? Where's the AFPS community at nowadays?

I'm trying to search for community maps by name and nothing comes up. Also nothing shows up when I switch the sorting method. I always have to close and reopen the map vote screen. Is there a setting to fix this?

i play quake live with one of my friends daily i just installed diabotical

the only matches i can find are warmups if anyone of you guys wanna play in a lobby lmk

we can arrange a time where we all can try to be online
