--v Update 1--
* CRASH ON STARTUP Several Users reported crashes on Startup. An early
version of the Steam Install Script got uploaded by me that didn't fully
run DirectX, also I'm not sure I had all the proper prerequisites
packed in the build. Either way, I have packed in everything that should
be needed for DX, as well as updated the install script. Those who have
already installed the game, I'm not sure this will help you...but if
you are experiencing crashes on load after you have downloaded the
update. Simply Click Here and run the DirectX Web Installer.
*
CRASHING DURING GAMPLAY AFTER ABOUT 3 LEVELS There was an error where
save games weren't saving, mainly because a folder was missing in the
installer, not sure why it got made on some builds and not others, but
it was the problem. This would cause grabbing bandage girl to crash at
random times as well as initial runs of the game to crash. Those of you
that had problems with the game starting even after the install of
DirectX, this could have been your problem. This issue has been (As long
as the update makes the folder) resolved.
* STUCK RESOLUTIONS /
INVALID MONITOR INPUT Users would get stuck in resolutions that their
monitors would not display. Not sure what is causing this because I look
at what the monitor can display, but either way I made a work around.
Users can now force resolution and window settings to get the game to a
working state where they can adjust them further. The commands are as
follows:
- fullscreen force full screen mode
- windowed force windowed mode
- 640x480 force 640 x 480 resolution
- 800x600 force 800 x 600 resolution
- 1024x768 force 1024 x 768 resolution
* With windowed and fullscreen options, the game will default to the
last res that was tried, valid or no..so if you are having problems I
recommend following the steps below to fix it. (I'm sure the majority of
you know how to do this, but for those that don't see below).
Go to Library, then Right Click on Super Meat Boy and go to Properties
Click on Set Launch Options
Fill in the options starting with dashes and separated by spaces in the text field
* NO BROWNIE OR DR FETUS BOSSES I'm a moron and forgot to upload the
boss files for Dr. Fetus and Brownie. Players would play their stages
and see no bosses. I uploaded them now, they are in.
* MENU CRASHES
There were some menu bugs, mainly with the pause menu and the character
select menu in game. These have been fixed
-PERFORMANCE ISSUES-
* We have scaled the textures best we can. There are 3 modes available
to the command line. The gamedoes a miniprofile thing that determines
what resolution and texture detail you should be running at...but
sometimes this can be wrong. To help adjust performance issues you have 3
options:
- highdetail Highest detail
- meddetail Medium detail
- lowdetail Lowest detail
-lowdetail runs fine on a netbook. I have an Asus Aspire One. 1.6Ghz
Intel Atom, 1GB Ram, Integrated Intel GMA 950 inside. If I switch on low
detail, the game maintains a 50-60fps for most levels. It is very
playable with extremely small load times. My computer here, with an
NVidia 260, Q6600 Quad Core, 6GB Ram runs the game at like 400FPS
Un-VSynced. So that's basically you're range. Those are the two
computers I had available during development, so they represent high end
and low end.
* Speaking of VSync, the game needs to be V Synced. I
can't stress this enough. If you are experiencing Cutscenes running
fast, or Meatboy freaking out while standing still, just switch on VSync
and you'll be fine. This is something we cannot fix since Graphics
Drivers can choose to ignore developer settings. I tried artifically
limiting the framerate today and honestly I didn't like how it looked.
It wasn't as smooth as VSynced (obviously) so...just VSync it.
* If
your game is running slow or you are having slow load times, just do
lowdetail and a lower resolution and you'll be fine. If my little Aspire
One running XP can do it, we can all do it
-Small update on Load Times-
* Thinking about it, the Atom has hyperthreading. I'm betting people
with slow load times have single core non-hardward threaded processors.
I'll look into this.
--v Update 2--
* Added Tofu Boy, type in "Petaphile" at the character select screen. (He's sickly so he's weak and can't run or jump well.)
* Fixed bugs with Naija, Mr. Minecraft, and VVVVVV
* Fixed a crash on exit
* Attempted to address more crash on run errors
* Fixed Leaderboard ranking errors
* Fixed a problem with non-Xbox 360 controllers holding down directional buttons.
* Also - Users experiencing unusually long load times, switch the game
to windowed mode via the menu or command line and this should fix it.
We're still working to track this one down, but running windowed will fix it for now.
--v Update 3--
* Fixes the Tofuboy problems on med and low res.

-Additions-
* Configure controls by manipulating buttonmap.cfg in the install
directory. THESE SETTINGS ONLY AFFECT MEATBOY & FRIENDS CONTROLS, NO
MENUS OR ANYTHING. We will not allow customization of menu controls.
* Common Non-Alphabetic keys are: "up", "down", "left", "right", "shift", "rshift", "space", "control", "rcontrol".
* Gamepads allow you to just change Special and Jump buttons. They are
denoted by numbers of the buttons, which you can find in the windows
gamepad panel in Control Panel. Example, on the Xbox controller the
button numbers are A=1 B=2 X=3 Y=4.
* There is a value there for
using the Analog stick as a POV hat, this has always been enabled by
default, but if you are still experiencing trouble, set this to "false"
* There is a backup file of the buttonmap.cfg in case you mess up the config.
-Fixes-
* Fixed a problem where some users were experiencing crazy volumes on startup. These now will always range from 0 to 100.
* Fixed several leadboards display problems Fixed a problem with sound drivers not initializing correctly.
* Fixed Achievements for Warpzones (OldSchool, Retro Rampage, etc) were not awarding correctly.
* Fixed Dead Boy achievement not awarding properly Fixed a save bug
when unlocking a character from a warpzone that could mark the warpzone
as completed, but not unlock the character Fixed a problem where slower
computers were not allowing Meatboy to spawn in time to beat some levels
(1-19x being the one most emailed about).
--v Update 7--
-New Stuff-
* Added Ironman achievements for all darkworld worlds. If you
previously ironmaned an entire darkworld chapter (we've seen a few
videos), sorry but you'll have to iron man them again to get the
achievement. This should only affect 2 or 3 people...and we apologize to
you...but if you do it again you get a neat achievement....so that's
something!
* Updated a few levels with some troublesome areas
-Fixes-
* buttonmap.cfg was misnamed, so users were not able to change control
configurations without renaming the file. My bad. The file is now named
correctly.
* Save Files are now corrected fixing a bug where
FlyWrench's unlock levels would overwrite Jills and vicea versa. This
save file patch now awards Flywrench if you found the Flywrench warpzone
and have jill unlocked. This was the only way to guarentee that Players
did not lose their unlocks. In the event that you only found
Flywrench's warp and didn't unlock him, but have Jill
unlocked...congrats you got a free Flywrench.
* Save file will back
up with the first run of the game just in case the save file patch
corrupts the current game. It is saved in userdata/savedata.dat.bak
* Some users were not able to get certain achievements, or missed
achievements because they weren't online. Now, on load all achievements
that can be should be awarded according to the save file will be
awarded. These include all of the warp zone and character unlock
achievements.
* Fixed a problem with screen resolutions being forced to fullscreen even when windowed was selected.
* Fixed a problem with Retro Rampage achievement.
* Fixed a problem with the Start menu character select screen being ordered incorrectly
* Fixed a problem (maybe, it was very difficult to reproduce) with full
screen builds loading VERY slow on some computers. The one computer we
could replicate it loaded as fast as windowed mode after some window
code adjustment.
