The settings that matter

Controls sits at the top of the General tab: Auto picks the layout from your device, or force PC, Console or Mobile. Under it are Effects, Screen shake and Map materials, and on the mobile screen from a few days later, Boss bar and Stat chips switches as well.

V0.18 added more: separate Effects sliders for your own effects, your party’s and everyone else’s, a Shadows toggle for performance, and an option to hide the control hints. Nobody has filmed the new rows yet, so their exact labels are unknown.

There is no render distance setting in any Slayers 2 settings screen we have seen. For lag, VendoPlus uses Roblox’s own menu instead: Graphics Mode on Manual, a low Graphics Quality, and a frame rate cap.

Shift lock

The switch in Roblox’s own menu is greyed out with Set by Developer, so use the game’s key: Left Alt by default. If Alt also fires your screenshot tool, move it to another key; VendoPlus uses Left Control.

LiftedTIO notes that the game puts you in shift lock during a fight whether you like it or not; console and mobile have a Strict shift lock switch too. On a phone, the game’s description says the shift lock toggle is in the top right corner.

Controller

These are PlayStation buttons from LiftedTIO’s console guide; on Xbox, presumably take the button in the same position: Square is X, Triangle Y, Circle B and Cross A. Rows marked as one player’s word come from his narration.

If your dash only goes forward, switch on Directional dash. LiftedTIO also turns Aim assist to 0 because it jumps to targets you are not fighting, while the mobile player Madness keeps it on.

Two console limits he reports: combination binds like L1 + Square cannot be created, and the default Skill 8 on D-pad down also opens the map. Colours in the character customiser cannot be changed with a controller; do that part on a phone.

Mobile

Phones get a third Settings tab, Mobile, with a Button size slider for the on-screen controls; shrink them if they cover the joystick or the quest box. If the boss health bar takes up half the screen, the Boss bar switch in the General tab may help, though nobody has reported trying it. Double taps that did not register were fixed in V0.135.

Known bugs and what helps

• Everyone, NPCs included, turns into grey blocks

  In the character customisation, pick facial accessory 26, then rejoin. The player who posted it says any other may work too.

  Two other players said it worked

• Shift lock drops out mid-fight, or when you toggle run

  One player fixed it by setting Controls to PC in Settings; another traced a friend's case to a plugged-in controller, but the first player said that tip did not work for them. Neither has been confirmed by anyone else.

  Two players report it; no fix confirmed

• Left Alt, the shift lock key, also takes screenshots or unequips your weapon

  Rebind Shift lock in the Controls tab. One player uses Left Control.

  The rebind exists on screen

• On a controller, dash only goes forward

  Turn on Directional dash in the Controls tab (in the Mobile tab on a phone).

  The switch is on screen; two players point to it

• E opens a 600 Robux emote pass prompt

  Since V0.18 the emote wheel has its own key. Move it off E in the Controls tab.

  In the developer's V0.18 notes

• Ouwigahara: after a death you land outside the map and cannot move or type

  Reset a few times; one player says it sometimes puts you back. Otherwise leave the game. Since V0.18 your banked milestone chests come back when you return.

  Six players reported it in the first week; no fix announced · more on the ouwigahara page

• Invisible spikes in the parkour on mobile and console

  The developer's V0.98 notes list a fix. One player suggests changing graphics settings if it comes back.

  Fixed in V0.98; the notes do not say which parkour

• On a phone, the boss health bar covers half the screen

  Settings, General tab: switch off Boss bar. Whether that fixes this exact complaint has not been tested.

  The switch is on screen

• On a phone, buttons are too big or sit on the joystick

  Settings, Mobile tab: Button size.

  On screen and in the game's description

• On console you cannot change hair or outfit colours

  Do the customisation on a phone, or plug a mouse into the console.

  Two players report it; the workarounds are one player each

• Final Selection says the place is restricted when you teleport from a private server

  None posted yet.

Fixes in the developer’s notes

Ouw Productions posts change-logs in its Discord. The ones creators have put on screen fixed these control and bug issues:

• V0.98: invisible spikes in the parkour on mobile and console, a possible fix for fish that fell to the ground, and the Sickles schematic some players could not get.
• V0.135: mobile double taps, the parkour dungeon’s performance, and reduced point gain in Ouwigahara.
• V0.15: the Yeti teleporting above its cave.
• V0.18: blocking after moving Skill 1 off F, bosses vanishing when they kill you, Ouwigahara lag in long runs, a Sealed Chest stuck in a wall, Baitmonger Nori refusing to sell Worms, and being dragged off a shrine with a fishing rod out, per the notes Scuby pasted.
