Risk of Rain 2's new DLC suffers from a serious bug problem, as co-creator morns state of game post Gearbox takeover

Risk of Rain 2 has just recently recieved its Seekers of the Storm DLC update, which you can buy right now. However, it may be in your best interest to hold off on doing so, as the major update has brought a plague of quite serious bugs and flaws to the game. A game that, until recently, was in tip-top shape.


Bugs include but are not limited to random deaths, framerate issues, clipping textures, missing textures, missing teleporters, missing highlights on items, the speed of certain moves being tied to frame rate (a classic), sphere attacks from vagrants being invulnerable... It's a whole thing!


Why has this happened? Well, the buck appears to stop with Gearbox. This industry giant bought the rights of Risk of Rain from the original development team Hopoo Games roughly a year ago, and this Seekers of the Storm DLC is the first content update for the game that has been entirely developed by Gearbox staff.
