Old Crasher's Castle - missing out on gems due to bumpers not working
So I'm trying to clear this level and in one secret area (the area with the bumpers organized in a diamond shape) the fireball move stops working when it hits the left-most bumper and I fall to my death. This happens no matter how many times I've done it, so I can't finish collecting all the gems in the area. I know I'm holding down the attack button to keep going but every time it hits that left-most bumper it fails, even when I'm holding down the button. Am I missing something here that I need to do, or is this some sort of bug with that area?

Hey NeoChaos.

This is not a bug i know of, possible for you to provide a screenshot of the area in question so we can double check in house ?

Thanks for the quick reply, Zyddie.

I've taken a screenshot of the area with the might-be-bugged bumper in question:

Thank you again.

I'm alos posting to add another area where I fall out of the attack despite seemingly hitting a bumper and having the button held down - this long vertical area earlier in the level. Got a screenshot of about where it happens.

Hey NeoChaos.

So we have tested and gone over the issue in house and it seems to be a minor FPS issue, even if you loose 1-2 FPS during the bumper trick you can miss it and it wont count.

You should try lowering the graphics settings for this part and see if that does the trick.
If it does not do feel free to inform us and we will continue to provide support and see if there is something else.

Hi Zyddie,

I gave lowering the graphics a try and it didn't work, I'm still falling out of the attack at those moments. However, this gave me an idea - I play on a 144hz monitor and I have a very powerful graphics card (GTX 1070), so I had the game running at framerates above 100fps. I capped the framerate to 60fps (using nVidia Inspector) and now I don't fall out of the attack at either spot anymore. Looks like there's a bug with the dash attack at really high framerates - could this be fixed so that high refresh rate monitor owners like myself don't have to limit our experience like that?

Hey NeoChaos.

First of all glad that it worked out, we will have to look into that for sure, unsure if we can fix it at this point but will diffenetly forward it so we are aware of it ^^
