The No Holds Barred Castle Crashers Official Thread of Broken Netcode and Crash Bugs
- Thread starter Shard
- Start date
I finished it and I loved it. And I only played single player for the moment.
I didn't have any bugs, maybe because I didn't play online. Well there's this one time where I left the game after beating the
boss, and got the item it gives you, but when launching the game 24hours later I didn't have the item anymore, and thus couldn't open the door to the next level (which was not locked, I could go in it, but without said item you can't do much).
Also, I can't manage to do a "magic jump". You know, it's supposed to be RT + A, but it only does a simple jump every time I try it. Meh.

Hey everyone:
Dev Blog update -
The title update is going well- we spent the weekend testing and testing and testing to see if the fixes work and it is looking pretty good. With any luck tomorrow we will be doing a big multiplayer test with everyone in Redmond. If everything goes well well be moving from the fixing it stage to the verifying stage. After everything is fixed and verified by everyone and their mother, well roll into the certification stage. If we pass that then we wait for the TU (title update) to be released. With all these moving parts, we are unable to tell you all with precision when the TU will be out, but we are working on it every day.
Well its getting closer. Soon we'll be pulling off both Castle Crashers and Duke Nukem 3d co-op GAF games.

Is this update going to be fixes only?

Too many damn "stages". I wish they were this strict when the 360 launched and when 75% of XBLA titles go online.Teknoman said:
But good news anyway.

Just finished the game in co-op with 2 friends, and we all had an absolute blast. Awesome sense of humour throughout the game and great fun all round.
Definitely worth the $15 ($20 here)

Hopefully people will still be playing it (or wanting to play it) when this patch finally comes out.
If it doesn't make it by mid october I fear this ship has sailed, because the onslaught of 4th quarter gaming will have begun.

I'll hop back on when the update is out to play online and grab the last two (stupid) achievements.
We've already done four full four player games locally, just one more to go to have beaten it with all five knights.

Just got back my 360 and tried the trick to get my character data back and it worked! Thanks everyone for your help!

I own Castle Crashers. So do two of my friends. We want to play together on a single Xbox 360. We have one memory card and all three HDDs, how do we do this so that we use our profiles and use our individual saved progress? The game doesn't appear to have a separate savefile, so that's a problem if we want to play together, right? Is this possible, or are you stuck using one guy's game progress?

It's no problem at all, just have them sign in to their profiles and they'll have all their save data since it's part of their GamerTag, not stored locally.a Master Ninja said:

Yes, yes and yes. A lot of games even REQUIRE other plays to sign into a profile to play.Ledsen said:
Princess Skittles said:
wth, I never knew this, that's awesome! one of the main reasons I only play co-op on XBL is that I didn't think you could sign in more than one person on the same machine at the same time. Are you sure it works in BC:RA though? me and my friend played it locally and the option to sign in for player 2 didn't even come up.
Princess Skittles
Prince's's 'Skittle's
That's because Bionic Commando doesn't actually require it (it'll consider the second player as "guest").Ledsen said:
Anyway, when the second controller is connected, hit the guide button to sign in. Simple!

Just so I'm clear, if we just get all the profiles on one box we'll not only be able to get achievements, but I'll have my level 25 blue knight, my friend can use his level 50 orange knight with his crazy sword, and my other friend will have his level 30 green knight with his monkey. This info is not stored on the 140MB game file, but server side somehow?Princess Skittles said:

Sooo, apparently at Gamefaqs the new hotness is that someone was somehow able to acquire the King's scepter.
They are currently trading it amongst themselves.

Photo and video evidence linked in the thread.
IIRC, this was supposed to be DLC content. Kinda suspicious since no one really knows how to get it by means of the game itself.
There's a possibility this is fake, but that would mean a fairly concerted effort by a whole lot of posters to make stuff up.

Well they have to create the patch and then it has to go through cert... So it does take lots of time unfortunately.

Judging from games like Bomberman and Dig Dug, it takes a while for such patches to come out. For me though, until a patch is out I won't buy it. I'm sure I'd have fun if I did pick up today, but I've got so many other games on my plate that I can wait.

This game is so much fun. Such a shame about online; I've tried joining about 30 games and got nothing. I guess the thread title wasn't joking...
I haven't read anything about this game, but my mate just found an infinite throw loop. Basically he was fighting the boss who plays the organ, and he held block and tapped throw, and rather than throwing the guy away, he kept looping the throw and drained his entire health bar in a few seconds. He's done it twice now, and I'm thinking of putting a video up. Has this already been discovered?
yeah this is it...

This game is crack! I'm so addicted! Downloadable games are saving the entire industry for me. I didn't like where games were going in the last 5 or 6 years but games like Castle Crashers bring back that joy that I used to get!
The crashing is INSANE though. I've only been able to play offline.. I've tried many, many times and have been unable to start a single online game! that is crazy! this fix can't come soon enough!

Same, and I feel like I wasted my money. I beat it, then decided to play again once it's fixed and can play 4 player. Now so much time has passed and there's other stuff out/coming out that the interest really is ogne
Needless to say, I'll never even consider buying anything else these guys come out with at release

I've had fun in offline coop with some friends, but I lost all my weapons and animal orbs which really sucked. After that I haven't played and decided I'd play 4 player coop when the patch was up.
Nothing yet.
Sucks ass. Not buying anything these guys put out at release either..
X26 said:
As much as I want to call this an overreaction, it's exactly the way I feel. This is something that should have been a glaring problem, and has taken too long to fix. I'm considering a refund. Yes, the game was fun, but was it what I wanted (and was promised)? No, no not in the least.

Yeah, I'm surprised at the lack of support so far. I know they're working on it, but how long are people going to wait? Most players aren't going to come back to the game when they patch it. It's taking this long to patch, I can't imagine how long they're going to make us wait for substantial DLC.

Its been over a month and the game is still broken. Utter joke.
Every time I start the game I have to go through the motions of setting up an MP game to get my stats/items back, its a pain in the arse that shouldn't exist. Bollocks to the rhetoric that "it takes time to get updates through MS". Stop passing the buck, it may not be the quickest thing in the world to get certification from MS but other games have had issues (hello Bully) and were patched a hell of a lot quicker than this.
Grrrrr.......

Doubt I will buy another game from The Behemoth, either.
What was even worse was that it took them a week to even say anything about the state of the game, and even then it was just a 'sorry, guys, but we were just having way too much fun at PAX!'
Well guess what, fuckers, you ain't getting my money next time.

yea its taking way to long. by the time it comes all the big fall games will be out or coming out and then no one will care about this online. or at least i won't even with the dlc because of being burned so bad when buying this game day one. if i touch the stove i make sure not to touch it again....

I think they should unlock the characters or some of the later ones as a gift when the patch is out. I've spent a ton of time getting them (even beating the game twice with characters because I couldn't remember what level I played). I think (other than the obvious netcode stuff) the one main problem with the game is how long it takes to unlock characters. You tell someone hey, this great brawler has a bear a ninja and beekeeper and they're like "awesome!" but then you have to tell them oh, but you need to buy your own version and grind for dozens of hours to unlock them and that kinda lessens the awesome factor.
Patches take time.

Hi everyone!
The title update is going wonderfully. Soon wonder will be achieved!!!! You can quote me on that! SOON, WONDER WILL BE ACHIEVED. Okay so Im not really sure exactly what the current status is but I hear the programmers, the testers, and Emil are very happy with the results. This makes me pleased.
You saw how long the Ninja Gaiden II patch took, and no one says they'll never buy another Tecmo or NG game again.

The main delay on this sort of thing is usually the re-certification unfortunately.
