interloper floating hat

[MeeM!]

In the area just before the Gargantua’s Lair (after the platforming past the controller encounter) up until you escape them, the purple hat will float into the air. This doesn't pose much a threat to the rarest specimen achievement until you long jump away from the gargantuas for the final time. When using the launch pad, the hat will be pried from your hands and float outside your reach. Is anybody else having this problem?

Yes, I saw the same, but I managed to reach the hat at this point (not from the first try).
Did you see jumping hat at the #15?)

There was several places in Xen where the Hat starts jump in place when you throu it or put it down. Perpetuum rolling hat everyone saw, I suppose. And falling through textures.

its always been in interloper, no colliding texture or jumping hats anywhere else in the game. On the bright side, i trial and errored my way through the jump pads and managed to get the hat in reach from the top level

There were problems with hat and textures (and physics) throughout all the game (remember ladders?), in Xen (#15-17) there are just so many of them that it is impossible not to notice.

I realize that the physics with the hat aren't the greatest, but almost all of the levels were possible to take it through, just takes some getting used to. Once you figure out going backwards up a ladder is possible, getting the hat up to questionable ethics and through surface tension is a breeze. This incident marks the first time the game was actively fighting against getting the hat to the end. As for the rest of Xen, the only time I felt going through was a hassle was in the fight with gonarch, since the acid pools he can create knock the hat all around. Sure there are some vents in interloper that pry the hat from you, but after carrying the pizza to the end, I've kinda just gotten used to them.

Obviously it is POSSIBLE to carry hat to the end and get achievement, f.e. I did this)) It is even possible to carry hat and pizza together up to the end of Gonarch Lair map #2. But it is painfull as well. I think there must not be such extremely bugged achievements. Game engine does not support carrying objects properly. And it was not even tested well.

I am currently in the sewers after the gargantuar lair and the pizza is flying along with the hat, really annoying tbh.

THE FIX: if you having this issue, walk BACKWARDS into the jumppads, DO NOT let the hat enter into the area of the jumppad, it should be pretty easy from there
