Glitched collision detection. (HD!)

[jvemPiRe14]

yup that happened a lot to me :(

[mushroomjay]

For some strange reason, holding shift managed to fix this issue. I don't know why, but it's still bullshit it exists.

[QuikDJ]

This is why you pirate ALL games, especially indie ones

[franpa3]

@QuikDJ There are some truely worth while indy games out there, it's just not easy finding them or determining which are bad and which are good. (Good meaning, well looked after)

[Dobbydoodoodoo]

@QuikDJ NEVER! Indie games. Big shitty company games like battlefield 3 and modern warfare 3, and mass effect 3 are totally okay to pirate. But NEVER indie games. They cost nothing and are often a lot better than the games made by huge pussy companies.

[Dobbydoodoodoo]

@Dobbydoodoodoo Super meat boy is okay to pirate though, as the creator is an asshole.

[Waluweegee]

I have run into this glitch exactly once. It is NOT that big a deal.

[franpa3]

@Waluweegee It is when it happens repeatedly in specific spots throughout various levels.

[failednewyears]

Just reproduced this on my xbox version of the game. The devs are full of shit, since they programmed for xbox initially. Unless my xbox 360 is like, technically inferior to the bajillions of other identical ones out there. IT'S NOT A PC SPEC PROBLEM. It's not because you have bad PCs or bad settings. It's because it's a pretty damn annoying platform-universal bug that they're not planning on fixing.

[skrumbanan]

@failednewyears Xbox units aren't identical when it comes to hardware.

[emcardl]

I never ran into this glitch.

[AshrielDrummer]

Turn off V-Sync, that fixed it for me.

[franpa3]

This isn't a demonstration of the ONLY place this occurs at, it occurs at many, many places and as pointed out the -lowquality etc. CLA's don't resolve all instances of it. My machine is quite capable too with an Intel i7 920 processor, 6 gigabytes of DDR3 RAM and a Geforce 250 GTS 1024MB video card.

HE STABBED HIMSELF ONTO THAT ANGLE PIECE OF ROCK PEOPLE, MOVE ALONG

[gigitrix]

Duh, it's clearly sharp!

[djdogjuam]

Holy crap, a glitch like this at SUCH a hard part, so FAR into the level could get REALLY frustrating(!)

This is not a fucking problem. If you die, no probs cos getting onto the platform is super easy and you just started the level, so no biggie. You also said this is pretty much the ONYL level where you can do this (almost) consistently, meaning it doesn't happen that often in other levels. So stfu and stop complaining about a tiny problem.

You want a real game, play IWBTG. Never crashes.

[kookoon]

why so much people love this game

i can't control it well with my keyboard

[BHSPitMonkey]

@kookoon It's a platformer. Of course using a keyboard is far less effective than using a gamepad; the game even tells you when you start it up.

[MediaMunkee]

Regardless of how godly your computer is or what quality you set it to, it's still possible to be arbitrarily exploded by the moving platforms. This particularly sucks while trying to do an ironman Hell run.

Much as I love the game, it is still in an inexcusably buggy state, they gave up on ever releasing the proper level editor, and just seem to be douches whenever someone calls them out on this shit.

Remember when the game first launched and they FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE BOSSES? Yeah...

[DestroManiak]

Jeez, big deal...

[Nidht]

Stop jumping into the angled wall, then.

[colinshark]

I'm okay with the demonstrated behavior of the game.

[TehShinigami]

I don't get people, they say people have shitty computers and need to run on low? However if they can run the game on high how the fuck do they have shitty computers.

[RaptorJesusization]

The creator is not a dick, the problem is easily fixed by lowering the games quality

[Zyphes]

@RaptorJesusization Quite frankly, I (used to) love Edmund McMillan, but the proper response would then be to apologize for the error in coding/design and let people know that the temporary solution is to lower the detail, not to get defensive and claim he's "not buying everyone in the world a new computer". That's just treating the consumers and the interviewer like absolute morons. I wouldn't even expect such a thing from ACtivision or EA Games.

[WarPhalange]

@RaptorJesusization Those two aren't mutually exclusive. The problem can be solved by lowering the game's quality (which is a shitty solution in the first place) and at the same time the creator can be a dick.

[adj789]

I never had this problem

[evilagram]

Why is the guy who made super meat boy such a dick?

[mainblz]

@evilagram Read some of the comments, and you will instantly see why. Most of the player base are dicks.

[LookUpImOnAHorse]

@evilagram Because he's spent so long play testing his own game and now he's gone insane.

[MrDrMcNinja]

@evilagram who cares, just torrent his games because of it ;)

[13lackfriday]

@evilagram It's puzzling how the creator of a dick game could be a dick himself.

[GodofChookie]

@evilagram I remember him as friendly and funny. franpa however just don't want to know it's his pc's fault. -lowdetail should fix the problem.

[TheFourdrinier]

@evilagram: Consider the game for a moment. Ponder it's intricacies. I think your question is now answered.

[franpa3]

It looks like the game will no longer receive any more updates, or at least none that fix these kinds of issues.

[Tombstone1300]

@franpa3 That's odd. I remember this happening to me around the PC launch, but then the next patch fixed it.

[everclear66]

scrubs

[Alianger]

I have this problem, but SMB also gets killed off when I just stand still on the platform as it moves underneath both the first and the second cave-in. Is there a fix?

[antiprosynthesis]

Comments from people that're just bad at this game :)

[TheKoosalagoopagoop]

this game is such a piece of shit. this is the problem with indie developers, they don't care that their product is completely fucked, they just eat your money and be total koticks about it.

[PandaVidya]

@TheKoosalagoopagoop This has nothing to do with any issue on the games end. The OP has a shitty computer, and this is easily fixed if he put it on low detail.

[TheKoosalagoopagoop]

@PandaVidya

quit eating the programmer's shit.

[Tagmannnn]

-lowdetail

Fixed the problem for me. :D

[Bassz]

Shit is so gay, I can't get past this level.

[DarthSatoris]

Level 2-8X has a very annoying collision detection as well. The flow of needles can kill you if you are several pixels away from it.
