Split screen glitch

Archive: 20 posts


Now, this only happened to me and clay once,
We have tried it a few more times but I think the timing was off.

It happened in Sack 6 with 2 players (me and clay).
At the cart that goes half a loop I died so only clay was left, He grabbed the Cart and the moment his sackboy got out of the camera-screen the view pulled back far enough to activate the checkpoint we passed by earlier.

As the view was still focussed on my Sackboy and it standing by the checkpoint I waited for clay to "die" and respawn.. but that didnt happen.
So I asked clay where he was.. he was asking the same thing.
He had his own view, in the room beneath where I was.
Now note that there was so much space between me and Clay that we could not have shared the same camera.

I could walk around on my own view and so could clay.
Only when I accidentally died the splitscreen ended..
so far we where not able to reproduce it,
but this is interesting nontheless.

Now, Aya suggested it was Lag, but as me and clay talked/walked for about 5 minutes..
I dont think that lag was the case.

Atm I cant reproduce it in the level, I had to update the cam and checkpoint positions before I published it.

This actually happened to me once a long time ago! It was in a really lousy place though and I got stuck in a small area. It was kind of awesome, still.2010-06-29 22:25:00

I really wish they'd let you have it normally.... the only thing that's stopping them from implementing it is cuz of jerk players who zoom ahead and leave not as good players behind.2010-06-29 22:44:00

Anyways, this has actually happened to me twice with the same person, but never you.

Have you tried killing one player while the other is in a cutscene camera or something? That's how it happened the 2 times I've seen it...

The more odd glitch is when the other player can't see you moving around, but you see them move. You can go through the whole level, and they won't even know... It's happened to me only once though...

This happened to me and Accumulation None a few nights ago. We were playing through Tenement and I could see him running along with me as we text chatted. Then he commented it was weird how I seemed like the voice of God talking to him from the ether and asked me why I wasn't physically there with him. It turned out that since entering the level I had been invisible to him and the only confirmation he had that I was still around were my disembodied messages popping up every so often. However, I could see him. In fact he was right there beside me and I could even slap him and tug on him. He wasn't frozen in place or anything, he was still jumping around the area we were in. Weirder still, when I asked him where he was he responded that he was in a room on the opposite side of the tenement to me. Yet according to my screen he wasn't. He was still right there beside me. I slapped him and asked him if he felt that. Turned out he didn't. On his screen there was nobody actually there to slap him and he was still playing through the level as normal.

So if he was on one side of the tenement and I was on the other, then who the hell was that sackboy running around with me? That's gotta be the weirdest thing I've ever seen in the game for sure!

I've had that about 3 times. What I'm talking about is when another person SEES you standing there, and you can chat, but they don't see it...

Anyway, I've always wanted to try to reproduce the splitscreen glitch, but I never actually have been bothered to do it... It'd be fun...

It'd break a lot of levels...

You've confused me now. Is that not a contradictory statement?

This happened with Monstahr, Kaboom, Javi and I once on the pointless platforms 2 level. I had just joined Monstahr, who was having connection problems, but when I popped through the checkpoint, no one was there! All the scores they had accumulated thus far were there, but no players!

We could still see each others text bubbles too. Pretty weird. It didn't stop until I got a verifying connection to host message.

The split screen camera is gonna be great!

Oh, and you were lucky finding the glitch! Thanks for sharing!

No, erhm...
They see you, but they don't see you moving.

I wasn't very clear I guess...

If anybody could manage to consistently recreate this glitch, then we could create levels where this purposely happens and have an entirely split-screen co-op level, or even a 1v1 level2010-07-01 20:22:00

Well for me, it happened when on a level from the Water Beta. I think one of wex's.

Basically, my friend wanted to join me after a cutscene in the level. It took him like..5 minutes to spawn. Very bad connection. I didnt notice that the glitch had occured till I passed a spawn point and he didnt spawn. The moment he told me he spawned I was like "O_o"

Thinking about how this glitch was created, I recall that when it happened to me twice the other night it was the same case each time that I had accepted an incoming friends request, then restarted the level before the person arrived. Not sure if that had anything to do with it or not.2010-07-02 19:05:00

This had happened to me a lot in the OC beta in play. This usually was accompanied by the switch bodies glitch. It got really fun sometimes but scared everyone who would join.

Yeah, Ungreth that's how it has happened tome before. I have a feeling that Aya was right about the lag, possibly more general. I would think just one end has a bad connection or their connection drops for a spilt second.

I remember that! If I recall correctly you couldn't see us at all.. I enjoyed being a spooky ghost
