Q. I'm not sure what the "Best Taste" requirement is asking for on my Cooksta upgrade.

When enhancing your dishes, it's the second stat on the dish. (The one with the little smiley face.) It indicates how delicious a dish is.
If you sort your dishes by "Taste" you can see which dish has the highest taste, and compare it to the Cooksta upgrade requirement.

From the Steam Library page for Dave the Diver, go to Settings ⚙️ > Properties > Change option from 'Use Default Settings' to 'Enable Steam Input' and please try again.

Hey, I can't seem to post a bug report on your website. I can't get your mail address and the inquiry screen does not work, so I can't submit anything, you might want to look into that. So instead I'll do it here.


My save game has been hard locked due to a bug. I cannot continue playing. Let me explain below.

There are two ''events'' that occur on the same day in my file, and this breaks the game. A few in-game days ago I failed the VIP VIncent's request because my evening shift wasn't perfect. Now, some days later, the game announced that I would get another chance, and the mission re-appeared on my to-do list.

This very same day I also got a call from Bancho that a ''noisy customer'' was at the sushi bar. When I went to the bar for the night I got the notification about Vincent, but there was no noisy customer. I cannot start the evening shift in the restaurant. There is no ''press E to open restaurant'' prompt anymore. Restarting the game doesn't work to solve this.

You can see the screenshot of my current situation here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2885807538

So to re-cap: Vincent's second chance notification popped up, there is no noisy customer to interact with, and I can't start my restaurant shift causing a hard lock.

I would very much like to continue playing Dave the Diver. Please let me know if you need my save file or something

[Wishishi]

cant seem to submit via the link up there, so;
Sound keeps resetting the setting i set it at. keeps blowing up my ears at boot, since i need the volume to be at like 8%.
Setting still says 8% but is actually 100% untill i move it an inch

Glad to see you logged the issue! Let me know if I need to send you my save file or something. I look forward to a fix so that I can continue playing.

Help, I have an issue during glowing tail eel boss fight. After the initial cutscene, the game simply does not proceed to the fight. Dave just floating, can't be controlled, with no UI.

[Pharaoh Bender]

Seems to be a bug with a cutscene for grabbing the anchor once you get the improved gloves. Every time I swim forward past the anchor and the current thing goes the researcher guy tells me to grab the anchor with right click an the game just stays frozen. Happens every time and has locked me from progression, just an fyi. Reporting on site as well.

EDIT: Nevermind, I cannot report on the site as my steam ID is not a numbered one cause of the url I use. So the above still stands as a report then

2nd Edit: So I was able to fix the issue. It seems if you swim above the anchor when caught in the current it will freeze up and not let you grab the anchor or if you do not go far enough forward. Going low and as far right as possible and not stopping gets you the full gust from the current to grab the anchor.

[Amy043]

I still cannot play this game on my PC since the updates (previously 13 hours totally fine). My menu screen when the game loads is completely gone. I have the image but no menu options

[Ouroboros]

I think the first special customer dish might be bugged; I definitely had more than 1 seagrape in my inventory, but after I served him the seagrape and spotted jellyfish sushi, I was completed out of seagrape.

[Scalycreature]

Anyone else having a issue where the game immediately crashes when you try to launch? haven't been able to get the game working since the latest patch.

[Commander Tom]

Just wanted to say I think your lazy as hell. No keybinds . its not 1912.
