Yes he mentioned it a while ago that it's bugged.Crunched said:
I think Team Meat had very good intentions when they decided to patch the game every day after launch. Unfortunately, they seem to have learnt the hard way that if you keep releasing minor patches every day without having a good buffer for testing each patch, small unintended mistakes can lead to breaking the game regularly as a result.
I'll rather they spend a bit more time on the testing process before releasing a patch, and instead of patching stuff in every other day, a general fix/tune-up every week or every two weeks is more than enough.

I've noticed similar timing things on other stages. I want to say it was a world 5 light stage, where you start right next to three sets of +-shaped cannons; if you hold right and dash from each spawn point, every 2nd or 3rd life (can't recall) you'll die to the turret, while the others you won't. It wouldn't really surprise me if they make micro-adjustments like this given the game's shtick.
I spent hours today trying to do The Kid's warp zone. I can get pretty far in the first stage - up to this point:
but I can't make that long ass jump across to the safe spot below. I'm doing it like that picture tells me to afaik, anyone have any tips? I almost always die on the spikes at the top. I've only made it to that safe patch 2 times and I didn't do it like the picture, I just dropped down and somehow double jumped over. I can't repeat that strategy though.
God this is really pissing me off :lol I'm done for today. I swear I accumulated over 1000 deaths from this level alone.

The pic is showing the easiest way, though it is possibly to not go left to wall grab, and simply use your extra jump to head right and over the spikes.Helmholtz said:I spent hours today trying to do The Kid's warp zone. I can get pretty far in the first stage - up to this point:

You'll get it eventually. I didn't have much trouble with the first kid stage, and that part in particular didn't bother me. I did it the way the pic says to. My best advice is to keep trying. Persistence pays off in Meat Boy. Each little tweak you make with every attempt brings you one step closer.
I may be misunderstanding where the problem is. Are you getting to the lower platform? If so, the timing there is similar to the jumps in Ogmo's warp zone.
Helmholtz said:
I don't jump onto that little wall there on the left of your circled area. I make a second jump from just underneath the lower hanging spikes and it takes me far enough to get to the lower area on the right.
Edit - I don't know if that is easier or harder for most people but it is much easier for me. I feel like there is a lot of slush in terms of adjusting momentum in mid-air in this game so I try to do it as little as possible.

Hold run when you get to that point. You'll go a lot farther.
What do you mean about fixing tofu boy? Does he move properly now? Or is it just a leaderboard fix?MNC said:What did the two most recent updates do?
1. Fixed tofu boy.
2. ???? Fix the rapture crash?
Edit: I was hoping for a leaderboard fix and replay fix..... All is still fucked here

My Super Meat Boy is broken now... Won't recognise my gamepad even though it did before, and I get no sound once I go to the main menu.
I get the opposite actually :lol. Sound is way too loud and full of static.EviLore said:
Edit: Holy shit, crazy impossibly high values, pic incoming
No pic, I guess, but sound was at around 400k out of 100. Changed it to 100 for both and it seems to be sticking.

PS3 controller with MotionJoy emulating a 360 controller. Has been working perfectly since release day, only just started having problems when the sound got bugged.snack said:

Where, oh where, is the Xbox 360 patch? Wasn't it submitted like a month ago or something?

Shouldn't 360 owners be used to waiting a month or two for patches on XBLA, because Microsoft quality assurance. Where quality is assured TM.toythatkills said:

There's always the option to say "don't auto update" when you're happy with how the game is going. And then you can wait for forums/twitter to confirm or deny any issues with particular setups.MNC said:
