Trial of air makes me want to punch my screen.

[MRE salt packet]

I swear I've never been so frustrated in my life. don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this game. I've played on PC as well as on my phone. The PC version of the trial of air made me quit after dying roughly 100 times. I think theirs something wrong with how the player hit box interacts with the 'candle jump boosts' is anyone else experiencing this or just me?

[RedPamba]

I definitely get the same thing
The only way I can reliably get it to work is starting the trial on my own and lighting the boost pads while standing on them, else I have to keep hitting the same pad over and over until it launches me MAYBE far enough

There's definitely something weird about it on PC. I have a friend who is insanely good at Air, but on PC she falls a lot. It's weird.

What FPS are you playing at? I've noticed some inconsistencies on mobile vs PC.
Example, in the secret area in the vault the NPC wont let you through unless you set your game to 30fps.

I know it sucks to play at lower fps, but I'm wondering if you lower the fps in-game to 30, if it might work better?

Out of curiosity, do you mean you can't get into the secret area on PC unless you're at 30fps? I'm not being snarky here, I just have awful reading comprehension sometimes. Forgive that.
If so, that's a surprise to me. I'm at 60 constantly, and I've always been able to get in just fine. Maybe it varies for people?

I'm gonna try that idea in Air, though.

I can get in but only with the beta cape, if I talk to the npc where they grab your hand and pull you through during special events, that only works at 30fps on PC for me. No issues on mobile.

old post so idk if it's still an issue but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C5ERgUTuTE

This bug could affect other aspects of sky with systems being tied to fps (I've seen it in other games)

Woah, that is an insanely weird bug. I can't test for myself if this bug exists still as getting in has never been an issue for me, but I certainly hope it isn't around still. I knew that things could be affected by FPS, but that is wild.

If it hasn't been fixed, some serious testing needs to be done to see how it can be remedied for those who have it.

Thank you so much for letting me know, it was INFURIATING not being able to get in

thats easy the trial of fire is more annoying

A key thing to know is, although you do not have your cape for the trial, the glide button still works and the game will inconsistently toggle you in and out of glide mode. So if you're having trouble making a jump, try going into glide mode immediately after jumping. (If like me you're reacting with "Wait, there's a glide button?", check the keybinding settings.) The trial is still painful with this knowledge, but not impossible.

[Meowish]

Just don't use the wind boosters provided by the game at the end of the trail (it's too far and too many random elements to accounted for, especially that camera grab can be hell for some), due to how broken the game is at this design, getting them to work is hardship. And because it's broken and glitchy, the wind booster we encountered earlier is actually the one that helps (there's one located near the final booster that you can abuse), just have it send you side way and you will land at the ending point easily. It even acts as a shortcut and let you skip the rest of the trail once you know its secret. In short, the wind boosters are glitched and do not work as intended most of the time, so as long as you see one that can send you to the ending area, abuse it, you don't have to fly in the direction it's designed to once you get the boost (thanks to that broken design, you can fly wherever you wanted to once you're launched by the booster, don't let the bad design ruined your fun, abuse it and have fun in your own way).

when you hit a arrow-candle guster you can use it to go up instead of over, then you can bounce on it a bit until - for whatever reason - you get a gust with some real distance in it. That probably isn't going to make it all easy, but that's the only real progress i've made so far trying to make this something i can do reliably and regularly.

THANK YOU. the very last air gust would not launch me far enough and it made me want to never play this game again. turning my fps to 30 made it launch me just barely far enough that with glide i could make it

Oh wow old post, glad I could help!

[sadchaos]

you can always spam the fly toggle to trivialize majority of the trial.

YOU WONT!
