Networking/Social System Issues in Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	Airo on May 21, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	EA Release Build

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch the game through Steam.
2. Enter the main menu.
3. Attempt to use "Join Game": If clicked from the main menu before entering gameplay, the game gets stuck on the "Join Game" screen. Right-clicking on that screen immediately turns the screen black.
4. Enter a game session and press "Join Game" again: nothing happens
5. Open Steam friends list: no "Invite to Game" option is available friends also cannot see "Join Game" for my session
6. Press "C" in-game: no reaction

Explanation

Hi, I encountered a networking/social system issue in Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core.

Symptoms:

1. Clicking "Join Game" in-game has no reaction, while the same functionality works normally in DRG.
2. Clicking "Join Game" before entering a lobby causes the game to get stuck on the "Join Game" screen. Right-clicking on that screen immediately turns the game into a black screen.
3. There is no "Invite to Game" option on the Steam friends list panel, while DRG has it normally.
4. My friends also cannot see the "Join Game" option for me on Steam, while they can in DRG.
5. Pressing "C" in-game has no reaction, while it works normally in DRG.

Environment / observations:

• DRG works correctly on the same machine, Steam client, and network environment.
• Steam overlay itself appears to function normally.
• The issue happened on the first launch/install of Rogue Core.

• The issue persists across:

  • direct connection
  • system proxy enabled
  • system proxy disabled
  • accelerator enabled
  • mobile hotspot
  • campus network

• I also tested combinations of the above conditions, with no change in behavior.

Additional investigation:

The logfile consistently contains:

```txt id="g2l6iq"
LogInit: CurlRequestOptions (configurable via config and command line):
LogInit: - bUseHttpProxy = true
LogInit: - HttpProxyAddress = '127.0.0.1:7890'

However:

* current system proxy is not using port 7890 anymore
* no process is listening on 127.0.0.1:7890
* WinHTTP proxy settings were checked and reset
* environment variables related to proxy were checked
* Steam launch options were checked
* game .ini files were checked for proxy-related settings

After these tests, the issue still persists, so the WinHTTP/proxy information in the logfile may not actually be the root cause.

Possible related observation:
Steam Presence / Join Game integration seems to fail entirely, since neither invitations nor Join Game options appear for either side.

Thank you.

NOTE: the logs have no significant difference, just for more evidence.
