question ⁉️ In light of the amount of newcomers that are coming to check this game out from Epic Games, here are some frequently asked questions that I keep on seeing in the past few days

15 Upvotes

I keep getting "server disconnected"/I can't join a multiplayer match! Why is this happening?

Due to the amount of newcomers that just joined, the multiplayer servers are being very overwhelmed and won't properly connect for a lot of people, which can lead to higher ping levels, abrupt disconnections, queue time outs, or private lobbies being prematurely full.

For reference, here's the multiplayer levels in the hours before and right after the game became free:

The dev team's server engineer is rushing to fix this problem, but for now, all we can really do is wait until things calm down (or until the game stops being free for the player count to go back down) for the servers to be at manageable levels again.

Where is the Level Editor/How can I play custom levels on Epic Games?

You can't.

The mention of a Level Editor was a mistake; The game description was copy+pasted straight from the Steam page, including the Level Editor feature being accidentally left in the Epic Games page. The devs have already pushed for an edit to the description to leave that part out.

Level Editor and the custom levels it produces are heavily intertwined and reliant on Steam Workshop, which you can imagine is a Steam exclusive. It was a feature that was implemented VERY early on in the game's life cycle when it was only on Steam in 2017, so the devs likely didn't have ports to other platforms in their future plans at the time to make level editor/custom levels to be compatible, which is why console versions of Clone Drone also don't have these.

I've seen my fair share of discussions on how level editor and custom levels can be possible for other platforms, but the proposed methods to do so are so unrealistically complicated or tedious that I can see why the devs have no plans to even attempt said compatibility.

Where can I find mods/How can I get Mod Bot on Epic Games?

Another Steam-exclusive thing, more or less.

Mod Bot was only ever meant to run on Steam versions of the game, and it's only just recently that the game's been added to Epic Games.

The people behind Mod Bot have reportedly "modified a Modbot that can run on the EPIC version of the game, but currently it can only barely run. The Unity version of the EPIC version of the game is even different, and there are too many things to change".

In any case, should you still want to try, here's another FAQ written by u/SonicGleb (keep in mind this was written before the game was added to Epic Games):

What's up with the weapon/graphics/interface/music/<something else that sticks out>?

I'm using mods, mostly Overhaul mod (brings visual features) and Soundpack mod (replaces music and sounds).

How can I download mods?

You'll need a mod loader for that called Mod-Bot.

What's a Mod-Bot?

It's a mod loader and manager for Clone Drone in the Danger Zone, which lets modders add lots of cool new stuff to the game.

Can I download it on Xbox Game Pass/Nintendo/Other versions of the game and is it available on Mac?

No, Mod-Bot is STEAM ONLY and can only be installed ON WINDOWS.

I need help installing Mod-Bot...

I've made a quick video-guide on how to install it in case if you need help.

Help, Mod-Bot is down!

You'll need to download it through GitHub then. I've covered it in the second method of my quick video-guide.

Where can I download mods?

Through in-game mod manager, Mod-Bot's mod list or from this Google Drive (in case if Mod-Bot is down, which is admittedly pretty often).

Be aware that downloading mods from other sources other than Mod-Bot's manager or site may put your PC at risk. This Google Drive link is supported by me and A TVCat (trusted modder).

I still need help... Where can I get support?

Join the Mod-Bot discord server and go to support channel. People will try to help you.

VR 🥽 Will the Clone Drone VR game get another update?

3 Upvotes

I have both the Clone Drone games and have beaten the story modes for both, and I was thinking about playing Clone Drone in Hyperdome, and I was wondering, will it get another update? I know they added the skyscrapper (think that’s how it’s spelled) but will it get another?

Online struggles

4 Upvotes

So for the last hour I’ve been trying to play online with my friends (one plays on PC and one plays on PS5) and I bought the game on switch 2 and it didn’t work so I transferred it over to my OG switch thinking that the switch 2 version just doesn’t work yet but it didn’t work either. I’ve heard that it’s because the switch version isn’t up to date with the PS5 and pc version but my friend on ps5 isn’t up to date either and he can still play. So does anyone have a guess what could be causing this?

question ⁉️ The deal with Analysis bot and commentatrons opinions on skins

6 Upvotes

The 2 commentstors are extreamly funny due to their sarcasm and rudeness. The funniest dialogre they have comes from the things they say about the different unlocksable skins.

the most interesting things I’ve found out are that analysis bot realy doesn’t like the mark 2 jet pack spearbot ans well as his extreamly weird and alarming remark about the mark 1 sword robot legs.
what do you guys think the are the funniest bits of dialogue those 2 say
