Risk of Rain 2 no newt altars

[VenligeGraeskar]

So my friend and I were trying to do a monsoon run and encountered a glitch. There were newt altar, he could see them but I couldn't. I went wherever he marked but no matter what i couldn't see them.

Why don't you post this in the risk of rain discussion forum, no one will really be able to help you here because this is just steam in general.

I'm fairly certain that's not a bug. It's been like this for as long as me and my friends can remember.

Newt Altars are instanced. I made the devs aware a while ago. I'm not sure if they intend to change it, yet I agree it's weird to have the altars be instanced when more or less nothing else is.

Another similar occurence is environment logs for the hidden realms. These are already present on the map as logbooks, but only the host can see these.

On top of that, N'kuhana's Altar in Wetland Aspect is also present for the host only. It will spawn as long as there is at least one player in the game who has not completed the challenge, even if the host already did, but again, only the host can see and touch the altar and, with that, complete the challenge for everyone.

So far, that is the only cases of instanced entities I've encountered.

I've not looked into it, but I guess explosive entities and the timed chest in Rallypoint Delta might also be instanced.

So the problem with that is i was the host. after that we switched to him being the host and it fixed.

Are you sure you just weren't fortunate enough to see Newt Altars in the same location? Just cause they're instanced doesn't mean they can't spawn in the same location for all players.

I went to all the possible locations for the newt altars even the one he saw and there were none for me. it happened in a previous run but i thought nothing of it cause he could actually reach that one and activate it

You're not making any sense.

What exactly are you trying to convey? Did you experience Newt Altars being instanced, just like they are, or are you doubting that they are instanced?

If it's the former, you're just providing evidence for my prior statements.

Mate, you are really dense. I've posted numerous times stating that for 2 runs in a row, i saw no newt altars but my friend did (again i was the host). After quitting out and starting up as him as the host they appeared again. This is nothing about them being instanced.

newt altars are client sided, and sometimes they will appear for the host but not for the other players
