Inaccuracy with arrow lifts: They should make a sound when they change direction, but they don't.
Huh! By any chance, do you have the SFX that it's supposed to play?

Yeah, they should play the "slide" sound, as Redigit calls it.

Edit: Also, the Switch Palace blocks turn into SMB3 used blocks instead of SMW used blocks.

Even after installing Patch 2, the launcher STILL does not open. This is a serious bug and I'm shocked it hasn't been resolved yet.
Do you have any further information that might help us migitate this issue present for probably less than 0.1% of users?
When I click on the launcher, the cursor spins and then disappears immediately. The task remains in my task manager, but the launcher does not open. PGE works fine.

Anything like PC specs (OS, processor, graphics card, memory), information of concurrently running software (antivirus and the likes that can interfere with other programs), or unusual installation conditions (non-english characters in installation path, or installed to a drive with unusual properties)? In order to find out what might cause this for you, it's important to find out what makes your situation different from the other 99% for which the game runs fine. Please provide all the information stated above and anything else you can come up with that you think might be relevant.

OS: windows 10
CPU: Intel i3 5005U
GPU: HD GFX 5500
RAM: 4GB
Other programs: Maybe Chrome. I also just use Windows defender as my antivirus. File is simply in my downloads folder in a folder called SMBX2.

EDIT: it had previously been working, but it broke. Installing the newer versions failed to rectify this.

Thanks for the info. Just a few more things:
What does previously mean? Which version is the one that broke it, and which were you on previously that worked fine?

E: Also, does it work if you run LunaLoader directly, or double-click on a level file after running leveltest-assoc.bat? Trying to distinguish between the launcher and the game itself.

Has the bug concerning no custom graphics-loading been fixed yet? I can see custom graphics in-game with a LVL file I made with 1.3.0.1 in beta 4, but if I create a new level with beta 4 I can see the custom graphics in the editor but not in-game.

Also there is an issue with custom graphics and the hardcoded HUD elements that the team needs to look at. Some elements are simply not loading at all since the PAL build, such as the high-score display.

That was fixed in patch 2 I believe, and only occurs if you have non-ascii characters in the file path.

It didn't break with an update, it just randomly stopped working. LunaLoader works fine, it's the launcher that doesn't open.

If it didn't break with an update, then that suggests that some other change on your computer unrelated to SMBX2 is causing the launcher to no longer run, hm.

Any ideas what it could be? I blame Windows 10, but don't know how to force it to cooperate.

Maybe don't store it in your downloads folder?

Would you guys be able to port SMBX2 to Chrome OS? If so, great! If not, I understand.

We don't recompile. Your best bet is some form of emulation. Dunno if Wine exists for Chrome OS, but something like that.

If Wine exists for Android then that should work on Chrome OS since that OS is Android-based.

Snake blocks don't spawn when the layer is shown after hiding.

Postby **Hoeloe** » Mon Jun 01, 2020 1:07 pm

Can't reproduce that snake block issue, though it does seem that if a snake block is active when it's hidden, its momentum is kept and it continues moving.

I think that mine doesn't spawn because I waited long enough for the snakes to go elsewhere of the screen in a straight line.
Also while testing, there is a slight frame where it spawned at its original position then teleport back where it was moving to.

Both i believe have now been fixed.

Hello, this is a very cool update, but there is a bug with controlls, when I configure control as I want, it seems normal, after clicking Start game, The control changes, idk if someone else had this problem too but, it really sucks. Cool update tho!

Postby **Hoeloe** » Wed Jun 03, 2020 8:47 pm

Make sure to click Save before starting the game. If you don't save the control layout, it won't operate correctly.

Yes, I did, and it worked.
But, I usually play with my little brother, he uses a controller and I use keyboard. When we begin playing as normal, he presses the controller's button to move. Then a small text appears at the bottom left the screen which says : Shark-(number) . Then the control changes, I usually play as player 1, but it changes to player 2, and my brother was playing using player 2, it changes to player 1. And the whole control resets

Thanks!
