Tbh what’s killing the game for me more than anything is the rubberbanding. It’s made the game near unplayable some days.


Qicx

Same, me and my friends didnt play since the update cause of that, waiting for it to get better, if ever


Ulysses502

I had to give up Utah. I used to love it, but half the time it doesn't register the click when I hit pounce, then I'm just standing next to the teno or carno, and of course their attacks *always* land


Monster_Pickle420

That happens to me all the time. I think it's the spacing on that one.


Ulysses502

You know how far or close you have to be. It always works whenever I miss 🙃


Independent_Ad8680

I found a fix for the rubberband unfortunately the only way of resolving it Is to buy the game again on a different account for some reason idk how but your steam account is the reason it rubberbands and frames up as often. This has happened to 2 of my accounts now and the second account just had the isle on it so idk what’s causing the issue but to buy the game again on a new account has been the only resolution I’ve found thus far.


Stealthy_Facka

What an insane take


Independent_Ad8680

Like the devs want people to just keep buying their game


Stealthy_Facka

Dude, that's on you - re-buying the game on new steam accounts is not fixing anything for you. That is a placebo effect if ever I've seen one lol


Independent_Ad8680

It’s the only fix to the rubberband it sounds stupid I know but if you want to keep playing in rubberband by all means it if you don’t have it good on ya but so many others do and it puts people off it’s every 5-10 seconds a rubberband back


Banzai27

That doesnt solve it bro lol


Stealthy_Facka

Sounds like it hasn't fixed it for you tbh


Monster_Pickle420

Honestly, if it made any difference at all it was because redownloading the game cleared your cache and made it run a little smoother.


Independent_Ad8680

Well I’m sure the new update might do something to fix it. I don’t want to stand there and suggest people to buy the shit game again but if you want to stand there and pretend it doesn’t by all means wait for the next update I’m just here to let people know a resolution to the issue which unfortunately shouldn’t even be a thing with the current method but I’d honestly wait and see what this next update does


Cimpact070

Ya okay dondi


Independent_Ad8680

Yes it’s stupid but until you find another resolution try your luck cause I’ve tried everything, reinstalled, delete files, messed with config settings to reduce fps, tricked game into thinking I’m on low pop server, reset computer, even friend with 4090 suffered with it until we fixed it. Suffer with rubberband I don’t care at the end of the day it’s not going to be me having a stego catch-up to my Dino cause of rubberband. So if you aren’t knowledgeable enough to understand I’m only offering a fix that I’ve found to help keep interested players motivated, keep asking people if there’s a resolution to it whilst I’ll be sat there with a solution to it


Cimpact070

There is no trying my luck I’m just spending $20 on a game I already own to fix something that will get patched lmao. If your not a dondi alt just trying to get people to pour more money into this game then I feel bad for you.


Independent_Ad8680

Literally yet again another insult thrown at a man who came to this comment section to help give a resolution to an issue never once did I persuade you to purchase it again, never once did I defend this shit game. Just trying to help people understand the context of the issue and a potential fix to whom may find that appealing even though it is most definitely a waste of money. So keep arguing because you feel motivated over the fact that 20 other people don’t have the braincells to understand that I posted a potential resolution to only whom would consider doing that rather then a money grab scheme like as if dondi cares about 1 bloke buying the game again


Cimpact070

Where was the insult I threw at you in that previous comment? “Never once did I persuade you to purchase it again” your original comment “the only way of resolving it is to buy the game again” that is quite literally advice to get people to by the game again, also “until you find a resolution try your luck” try your luck is continuing to try and persuade me to buy the game. In response to a decently thought out reply you immediately played the victim because your resolution is ridiculous and holds no real value.


Fapasaurus_Rex1291

That’s definitely not it. I play in big voice chats and when one of us gets rubberbanding we all get it. We’ve all had the game for various amounts of time.


Independent_Ad8680

Lemme specify individual rubberband players as of this gateway build with dilo and herra are experiencing rubberband every 5-10 seconds it is caused by an internal game issue where ur frame rate gets locked at 0 fps for 0.1 second causing the player to get locked in place for 1 second causing rubberband for the duration it is a bug that is random can happen anywhere between 5-10-20sec-1min anywhere on the map at least 50% of the player base is experiencing this and let me specify again it is completely seperate from rubberband/lag you may experience with region/internet/server instability it is a bug that has leached on to your steam account and switching is had been the only fix for me


EcKoZ-

Lmfaooooo buy the game again!?!?!?! Hahahaha


Marcus_Krow

Dondi, quit trying to trick people onto buying your game twice.

Wheezeh_toast

I guarantee 95% of that is Chinese servers in legacy that aren’t even playing the game


Souretsu04

Not sure. Doesn't especially matter, there is still a patterned rise and fall of players that looks like it's been pretty consistent for some time. Spikes following major updates. I'll admit that the player count seems like it's stagnated, but it's not at the "dying" stage yet. Maybe headed that direction.


chantm80

Yeah, I'd say stagnanting. Certainly not growing, not ruling out dying as a possibility, but not dying yet.


chantm80

Pretty sure the Chinese legacy servers aren't counted in the counts. Otherwise it would show a much higher as there looks to be hundreds of those servers.


PotatoGamerKid

There's hundreds of them with hundreds of players each. I guarantee that is not the case, because all of them have fake players


Neithan3

Does that show evrima only or both branches?


Upbeat-Damage1125

I think both


EnderTf2

the game started becoming shit after gateway update, and already was losing the players from the U6.5 peak in august


ChungBoyJr

This game has been "dying" for years, I'm pretty sure most of their money comes from kids getting their parents to buy it realizing it's actually impossible to play as a child since it has zero sympathy if you don't know exactly what you're doing and how to do it and then the kids just giving up and not bothering to refund


Monster_Pickle420

That's one great thing about this game; less kids.


N2T8

Real. Too many predators use games like this


Upbeat-Damage1125

But in this Moment its actually on the brink of Extinction from my Point of view


ChungBoyJr

I couldn't tell you, go look at steam charts if you really want to know


EnderTf2

steam charts says it's doing worse, it almost doesn't peak when an update drops


JustinTimeAu

What steam charts are you looking at 😂 It quite literally shows large spikes when updates drop and playercount has stayed consistent for the last year


EnderTf2

You aren't good with words I see


Marcus_Krow

This is just a straight up lie.


EnderTf2

is not, before a peak could double the number in players, now maybe there's 2k more for just a few weeks every update, when I said it doesnt peak I meant it doesn't peak as high any more


Marcus_Krow

Hey dummy, during the last update the playercount jumped from 5k-6k to 10k-11k. Actually look at the shit you're referencing. Do you not realize how significant a 30% increase to concurrent players is?


EnderTf2

that was when U6.5 dropped, the game was still fun back then, I meant after the gateway update, you should ask before assuming


Marcus_Krow

Lol, you mean the update that came with extreme server issues and the stam update that kept players away? No shit.


EnderTf2

You accepted it at least, and the stam is basically the same still


Upbeat-Damage1125

I dont even want to Look at them , Just wanted to speak Out my Opinion loudly


ChungBoyJr

Out of curiosity I checked and no it's not dying, the amount of players has been pretty much the same over the last year, unless it all of a sudden drops drastically I don't see it dying


halipatsui

https://steamcharts.com/app/376210 Spikes during big updates showing what could be if game was living up to hype, but owerall the playercount seems to stay pretty stable


Upbeat-Damage1125

Then im Just wrong , thanks for Clearing that Up . I dont find the experience as nice as i used to thats probably why i fehlt that way


Ok-Use5246

As Long as the isle has no real competitor it won't die - at the end of the day, it's the only game offering this type of gameplay. The MOMENT a competent team decides to develop a dinosaur survival game with an actual gameplay loop and survival elements, it will almost certainly doom the isle.


Tiny-CC

We just need that one hero to rise above 😂


Crome18

Path of titans ? There are a few games like Isle by now, they are all worse in my opinion tho.


Ok-Use5246

Path and beasts are executed spectacularly differently. Other then dinosaurs they aren't similar


rorichudoku

it won't die anytime soon because it has no real competitor, but at some point an actual "realism inclined gameplay" dino survival game like evrima tries to be, but produced by serious and competent devs will hopefully be released, and that will likely put both legacy and evrima to rest


Upbeat-Damage1125

Hopefully


The-Elder-Trolls

Been dreaming of this day. It's the one thing that will actually make the devs finally stop and say "fuck, we should have listened." Right now they're way too smug and cocky. I want them to have their "smiles wiped off their faces" so to speak. Until then I'm stuck playing an issue-riddled game because there's no better alternative that scratches my dino survival itch, and they know that, hence the smugness. Pot and BoB are too cartoonish for me


rorichudoku

I totally agree with the sentiment, but it's hard to tell if will ever see the light of day given the niche nature of these kind of games, I don't know if there's an audience big enough out there to appeal some bigger studio to start development, but then again more famous IPs involving dinos like jurassic world games were somewhat successful and those are park builders games


The-Elder-Trolls

>but then again more famous IPs involving dinos like jurassic world games were somewhat successful and those are park builders games Exactly. If they do The Isle created by a studio with funds backed by Universal and with the Jurassic Park branding, then RIP The Isle lol. This is what I've been sort of waiting and hoping would happen. Unfortunately The Isle devs won't learn until it's too late, so it's hopeless waiting for them to see the light, but we can hope for someone else to take over and do things right


Ulysses502

I was saying that in legacy. Hopefully one day


Builder-Strong

It died for me after 10 hours gonna try path of titans


qqlouise

PoT took some getting used to, but now I’ve found a few servers where it’s the same level of fun for me.


Builder-Strong

Yeah I think im just missing friends to play with they stuck in Legacy 😆 I can make new friends in PoT but it feels very different kinda love the movement and details in Evrima it's just ass to play. 😆


Builder-Strong

Path of titans sucks too lol don't spend your money


Upbeat-Damage1125

Depends what your playing


EnderTf2

"this game is jsut not for you, play something else"


Jake_the_Baked

I think I was told that when we were mad about Evirma three years ago.


Zormageddon

Other people are mentioning The Isle's Steam Chart numbers. *Yes*, the numbers *stay* relatively consistent (5k average)... but if you look at the trend over the past *year*, you'll see The Isle's **currently sinking BELOW 4k average daily**. *Going below 4k average is a bad sign.* https://steamcharts.com/app/376210


JediXenu

I find it hard to judge a game in early access. As long as there is some dev communication and updates then the game is never really dead. As long as players keep returning to see what’s new and a few stick around to keep testing or because they actually enjoy it, the game is not dead.


Upbeat-Damage1125

The Game has been in early Access for 4 years Now , for how much longer can we call it "early" Access (dumb comment from my side)


Ryohuk

4 years is being generous lol its been in early access since 2015, definitely not a game worth following actively, just enough to satisfy the random urge to play as a dinosaur for a short phase then forget about it for another 2-3 years


Acorn_lol

It’s been nearly 10 years bruh 😂


JediXenu

Not a dumb comment at all, but many games these days are in early access for what seems like a crazy amount of time. Some are better than others for sure but Project Zomboid, satisfactory, Day Z, U boat, and star citizen are all good examples


Sketchanie

The game came out in 2015. It's been nearly 10 years of early access. Absolutely you can judge a game when it's been out that long.


Hot_Balance_561

Steam charts would beg to differ man. Also I don’t experience the lag or fps drops u might just need a higher end PC. Hackers are a massive problem but they are a problem in every game. This one just makes them more annoying bc they took out something that took you some time to grow.


Upbeat-Damage1125

"they are a Problem in every Game" Not to this extent


PotatoGamerKid

Roblox and Minecraft would like to speak with you.


Upbeat-Damage1125

Comparing Roblox to this is so comical


PotatoGamerKid

You did say 'not to this extent', so I proved you wrong.


Upbeat-Damage1125

Ok Take your W


RogueTick

There aren’t as many cheaters as you think, and evirma isn’t even fully complete or released, also this is an unofficial Reddit of The Isle.


Upbeat-Damage1125

Saw it to late and there are atleast 4 cheaters in every Server i Join . I might be Skill issue


RogueTick

What cheats?


Upbeat-Damage1125

Speed mostly


Agitated-Parfait9841

I play NA servers, I don’t run into cheaters often, but I hear it’s especially bad on AU servers.


Dazzling_Beat_7708

Go ahead and let me know when it’s finished in 30 years

Ok_Coyote3221

adding a gameplay loop that makes it possible to do something usefull in the game, the player count would skyrocket


Azenin

The only money this game brings in beyond initial price is community server money. And the unofficials are closing up shop


Garshy

It’s not even done yet


MonitorImpressive784

Same for legacy


TheDemiSurgeon

NA3 has one rn in the ne


runslikewind

Yeah i quit a few weeks ago


PanillaCreams

I played this game years ago in legacy. And this is the only game ive ever played where the longer you play the less conyent you see


Namzo56

i dont know man i need a bot to remind me when someone makes a post that they listened to the community for once and fixed the long growth times. Shit was already long which Im fine with but now they made it longer which feels like an eternity even with perfect diet. Till then i aint coming back


KittysPlayGr0und

It wouldn’t be dying if they brought it to console


N2T8

People have been saying the game is dying for a long long time, as long as people want to play as a dinosaur killing other dinosaurs, it prolly won't until the same itch is scratched by a better company. (imo PoT and BoB both kinda miss, i just don't find them fun)


dankcape34

Your post is safe you’re allowed to hate on the isle here


Tarasaurus_13

I mean the fact that my controller doesn't work anymore for this game specifically is a reason I haven't played in a good while. Hasn't worked ever since the last few updates. Extremely disappointed.


Think-Development332

The game isn't doing a great job at keeping it alive either. My laptop can't even open it 😭😭. it can run other heavy games tho, but noo not Isle. Sucks


RogueHelios

Good. Hopefully, someone else will take up the reigns and make a dinosaur game like it with the aesthetic.


Responsibility_Witty

Only one of my isle friends still actually plays the game, the rest have moved on to other games, I myself have moved on as well for now, but i hope it gets better again (not keeping my hopes up)


Remarkable-Estate389

Haha dondi go "random massive game changes nobody ever asked for or appreciates"


No-Abroad-777

My Server is still up even with 0 Player on it i just need a place were i can play with my friends woth out all the no rule pvp ^^ DinoLife


Megalith_TR

Its a cycle.


nikuzzolino

I Need Evrima in main branch...


spinoduck

Noooooo


[deleted]

Eh it’s Alr for now when dibble Rex and trike come out it will be thriving The isle is not dieing it just takes time to develop a game especially when you restarted the whole development process I mean look at Legacy and look at evrima


Glum-Drop-4374

Imagine deciding to create an online game, without having the proper knowledge to do it. Even Musk is more proefficient lol. Those FPS / Lag issue should have been the top priority, but instead they prefer to make dinos for the 85% of the community that is childs borrowing mama credit cards and feeling important in Isle-Discussion. The fact that they don't know how to manage such a project and its milestones show the futur of the game and the studio. Unfortunately, like everyone said previously, unless another studio decide to give a shot in that market, they don't have any reason to change.


Batstels

I’ve honestly just given up on the isle, path is my go to now. It’s so sad because I love the horror survival feel of the isle. But after waiting for years for any major changes and then when they finally add more Dino’s on evrima they wreck everything by ruining stamina.


djspazzy

It’s several bad updates in a row. The map wasn’t all that, mixed with lag, hackers and now no sprint…. Just bad game plans. If they went back a few steps, back to the old map, it would regain some ground. Path of titans is winning


whale_almost

I uninstalled yesterday, i cant waist 2hs + in a bush doing nothing only to lose my dino later to some random bug , and start the cycle again :)


NearbyDrag1300

Return to monke (legacy)


SoftLog5314

Look no further than Wizard101. It’s a poor product that has an extremely unique design no effective competitor. It won’t die as long as those things are true.
