SHADY OASIS BUG

[Bocchi-chan]

Stuck on Shady Oasis. I already have lowest graphics and 30FPS set, so it doesn't help. I also, tried that level with unlimited FPS and VSync OFF, still nothing. Anyone can help? I wonder why didn't they fix years old bug yet...

What do you mean by "stuck"?

Hippo can't jump on the way to 2nd apple (or cherry)

You have to fire or charge the tree so the apple falls down and gets eaten by the hippo

I don't mean to be rude, but have you ever read any topics? This is widely known bug, and yet none of the solutions helped, that is why I am here, also I played this game on PS1, of course I know how to do things, but this is Reignated Trilogy exclusive bug. Also, I already said "2nd apple" which means I already fed him the 1st one. Before replying please, at least read what I wrote, don't just throw random replies. I really don't want to be rude here, but this is really stupid to say something so obvious to someone who already mentioned that it was 2nd apple, and hippo was stuck on JUMP.

Well, first time seeing it though I'm on these forums since the Steam release :P

The way you wrote it, it was like you were expecting the hippo to jump to the tree lol

Do you stay near him all the way?
That's different from the PS1, where he was just walking on his own to the next tree

I tried everything, killing all enemies, getting apple beforehand, killinga half of them and etc., nothing changed he just glitches on that jump.

FIXED!!! FINALLY, I DID IT!
How did I do it? Like this:
1. I set custom settings to HIGH;
2. Quit to main menu;
3. Start Spyro 2;
4. Go to Shady Oasis level;
5. VOILA, IT IS FIXED, NOW HE CAN JUMP!;
6. Then I changed it to LOW as it was before.

Then after finishing the level I tried with my current LOW settings if it was fixed for later uses, nope, it is still buggy in LOW settings. So, basically it always, always, ALWAYS, and always glitches in LOW settings, at the very least for me. If you have set settings to HIGH or ULTRA, then change it to LOW, that will fix for you, and it is not just logical advise, I read many forums before this, and wondered that everyone plays on HIGH settings and they fix it either decreasing FPS to 30 or making it UNLIMITED, or/and changing custom settings to LOW. So, I thought if they do it that way, I will do it vice versa.

I wonder how they've done it through blueprints to screw it up that much

As someone commented on the other topic "This is the laziest remake", seriously, it is one of the most iconic trilogies of PS1, and you don't even test your own game... One more reason to get PS4

The thing is, some people encountered no issue while others did ^^'
I'd blame it on Unreal Engine more than the devs here
The engine is supposed to abstract lot of stuff enough to no get different experiences on different hardwares... but heh

That is fair enough, but also if this game is 40$, it should be tested for every possible bug.

You know, like the OG games were on PS1? Heck, Spyro 3 back in the day had a game breaking bug in the speedways that prevented you from fully completing the game if encountered as well as an entire cutscene failing to play yet despite the lack of internet downloads or updates, still got patched.

My Spyro 3 was buggy too, whenever I encountered the final boss (Queen), it just started the game from 0. Also, I remember the last world was buggy in general.

That was actually the game's anti-piracy measures kicking in and deliberately messing with your game, not bugs. If you want to know more, you can check out this video online:

I live in CIS, no wonder it was a pirat copy LOL. Almost all my PS1 games were Russian releases, and some of those translator/localizator companies were well-known, I don't know why Spyro 3 was a pirat one.
