Death boss

[lylat]

Is possible to beat him on impossible ? any tips ?

[MotoDestructo]

It's possible. There are some folks besides us developers who also got the piece of cake achievement so it's very possible, it's just time consuming and difficult. I think on Death's fight, for me at least, it was more about getting lucky and either avoiding or being hidden enough to avoid his multiple fireball attack after he's knocked down... that's the one that usually gets you and the attack lasts slightly longer than a full shield can hold off... so it's very impotant to save the shield just for countering that attack

I was going to try it again today but now my save is gone o.o ,impossible difficulty is still there but not my guitar neither my progress , dammit

[lylat]

I've started the game again on impossible , played normally till hell then my game crashed at the lava platforming part. guess what! MY SAVE IS GONE AGAIN! really devs ? this is getting ridiculous

[MotoDestructo]

Please post your pc specs and the crash logs. It's the only way we can determine whether there is still a bug or if it is a hardware issue. Our save game feature utilizes the Steam cloud as well so you might want to check the settings on that for the game to make sure everything is working properly.
On a personal note I've had many issues in the past with using the steam cloud and hopping on numerous pc's with different games such as Borderlands before but this is the first report I've seen of anyone having this issue since we updated the save game feature awhile back. Please post your specs and crash logs and it will be looked into this coming week.

Yeah, I'll have the guys take a look at it tomorrow in the office as I am just now getting back from the holidays myself.

It appears from that report your Nvidia driver is over a year old as well as reporting the wrong card, but I'm not sure how accurate that thing is.

What worries me at first glance is your steam cloud report of 0 bytes stored even though you have it enabled. The save game data should be there and it appears to not be, that may be a Steam issue we can't help with.. but regardless I will have the not the artist and much smarter than me guys take a look and get back to you tomorrow.

[MotoDestructo]

Also of note, like I said I'm the artist/writer, so a lot of that report is alien language to me.. but :

HandleD3DDeviceLost
HandleD3DDeviceLost: still lost
Skipped frame because GfxDevice is in invalid state (device lost)

That error alone tells me there may be some graphic card issue there. Try the usual things.. Download the Nvidia GEForce experience software if you haven't and make sure it has your drivers all up to date and your pc optimized...

The smart guys will be in touch once they take a look at it.

Semi-Smart guy here. Definitely update the Nvidia driver as MotoDestructo suggested. Very strange it is showing the GTX 460 instead of what was mentioned. Pretty sure that string is taken from Device Manager or the driver itself. Does that machine possibly have two display adapters in it?

The crash looks like it could have been caused by returning from an ALT-TAB from full screen. Seen some things Unity has been working on regarding this loss of focus on full-screen along with multithreading, but I don't believe it is a multithreading issue as much as it is a GFX/driver issue. Still seeking if It is a Unity or game-fix.

With the Steam's Cloud-Sync issue (happens on multiple games), some force it to update by killing all Steam processes, logging into steampowered.com, sit for a few minutes, and then launch and log in to the Steam.exe app. I don't know why this is necessary, but it has worked in the past.

Maybe our programmer (also semi-smart!) may chime in with more knowledge regarding these items. Let us know if there is any change in your symptoms!

The lines
HandleD3DDeviceLost
HandleD3DDeviceLost: still lost
Skipped frame because GfxDevice is in invalid state (device lost)

Usually show up when you alt tab out. Also could you start the game play through level 1 and when you get to 1a (Dinner level) exit the game and check the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Boo Bunny Plague\Data. Post what is in that folder.

OKAY - 2 things:
I'm as well in impossible mode on my way to be another 'piece of cake' !

Now i'm stuck as well in this level.

", it was more about getting lucky and either avoiding or being hidden enough to avoid his multiple fireball attack " - i would instantly sign this - the 1st half is not a big problem, but only this attack always kills me - the thing is, i just dont wanna try till i get lucky and replay the 1st half on + on again! ironically i've made it 2 times surviving this attack, but i can't understand why it doesnt work out all the time!?
i guess it must be within 1 single second time difference to when hold down mouse2 for the shield!? then you're really down an energy+shield and first have to recover both of it before the next attack, of course..
ive tried out different methods - just strafing, running away as much as possible + strafing, put out the shield in the beginning or a second later and jumping while strafing !?

-

SAVING - yesterday i've started the impossible mode from the beginning - i had played till "Pestilence", when i quit the game in the fight. When i've started the game today + clicked continue in the main menu, i got only transferred to the viking level !?!?
so i started a new game from the very beginning + played through till that death-boss.
i dont wanna quit the game, when there is no right save point before the death-boss - so what do i have to do!?

[crippler]

edit: after closing the game + restarting, i was at the beginning of the 4 horsemen-levels...means, a lot better than the viking level, but have to defeat all 4 ones in one playtime - that makes the needed movement/tactic to survive this special attack not less important!?

[Horde]

Heya there! Yeah, Level 5 (The Horsemen level) has to be completed in one go. :) It could be the distance at which Death is launching his fireballs that may be getting you. Without watching, I can't be sure. But I do remember this being one of the hardest matches due to his speed on Impossible difficulty (he is also the final boss of Level 5). But eventually he was defeated!

[Brimou]

i did it somehow :3
