FAQ

## **Why isn't my game launching or why does it crash on launch?**

This is due to the version of the unreal engine having issues with newer generations of CPUs.

There is an easy solution: right-click on the game in Steam and select "Properties," then paste this command into the launch options:

```
cmd /c "set OPENSSL\_ia32cap=:~0x20000000 && %command%"

```

## Why hasn't the gang ordered again?

The gangs may seem bugged, especially when compared to earlier versions of the game. But they are not; rather, they were nerfed, and a bug concerning them was fixed.

*Note: One real-life hour is equivalent to one game day.*

Now, the next gang order becomes available 10 real-life hours (10 in-game days) after collecting the cash from the previous one. As you gain gang reputation from doing orders, the order timer will decrease to a minimum of 7 real-life hours (7 in-game days).

You can speed up the process by waiting in your hideout by pressing "T," although it's worth noting that you don't gain anything from reaching 500 gang reputations, and it does not progress the story either. The new features at the 500 gang rep task are left-over text from previous versions.

Gangs should be treated as a bonus to your income, not a source. Dealing regularly with clients and dealers will make you much more money than waiting (even at 25x speed) for gangs to order, especially when you start dealing in Sector C where you can make $100,000 in a single night.

## Why hasn't the next envelope spawned?

After turning in your last envelope, make sure to wait at least four to five hours before searching for the next one. There is also an electrical box located in a narrow alley just before Bad Asia. It is not added to most maps, but it is right behind another spawn location.

See Psychedelics Gang Guide (Steam Guide) for other envelope locations.

## Why can't I plant my seeds in my hideout?

Confirm they are indoor seeds; try setting up just 1 pot and 1 plant first; try moving the pot around the room and planting in different places. If none of that works, you will have to move to a different hideout; some garages and hideouts are bugged and will not allow you to plant.

## Why can't I interact with my dealer?

This issue arises due to a bug that occurs when you save the game with active orders, causing the dealers to be stuck in the game world without the ability to interact with them. To resolve this problem, simply reload a previous save file before the bug occurred.

To prevent encountering this issue, follow these steps:

1. Save the game before accepting orders.
2. Save the game after completing deliveries.
3. Avoid saving when there are active dealers or clients waiting in the game world.

If you don't have a save to reload to there is a unofficial mod that will fix the dealer. (it won't stop the bug from occurring in the future, so its important to practice the save steps above.) Instructions and the mod can be found here: Huslaa Pak Mods (Steam Guide).

If you need help with installation ask in ⁠Support Thread on the official DDS Discord.

## Help, I got raided/my hideout is empty and the door was locked!?

Your hideout got raided, which can happen with or without you in it.

After awhile, you will be able to rebuy the hideout from Mike Byers in Shadycomm.

To prevent raids in the future, keep your exposition low by doing deals at night, including collecting money from dealers, and avoid police as much as possible.

## Why is my FPS low / Game using excessive resources?
