Update 1.29

Archive: 194 posts

It was no more than like 3MB! So its safe to say that it was just a data update, but i have never seen it so small! :o2010-08-02 02:37:00

thats what i think, wouldn't that bother to do it all in one patch though before the first pack came out =/2010-08-02 03:41:00

Each new content needs to be approved by Sony and this is a long process. Maybe they weren't ready to submit all the Marvel stuff at the same time to Sony. Having some weeks between the first stuff and the late stuff doesn't matter since they didn't publish all the DLC at once anyways.

Another thing to consider is that patches are annoying. They are made small for a reason and Sony ask publisher to not put out patches that are too huge. Also, a good dev isn't stupid anyways and they don't want to bother people too much, they want them to continue to play the game. Anyways, enough of explaining, there's alot reasons to have a small patch and maybe patching all the Marvel stuff one shot would have been a bit too huge for their taste.

Well, personally I witnessed a slower service than usual lately so I guess it's related to the patch.		2010-08-02 17:45:00

I had a bad connection too.
Jump, your level don't work for me. I'm sorry, they don't load.
And I'm quite angered by the fact that my level doesn't load either.
It's incredible how every time MM release a patch that breaks some levels, mine gets ALWAYS involved.

I also want to point out that I never use any kind of glitch for my levels , it this can help in searching the bug.
I tried some levels with various uses of glitches and they work.		2010-08-02 18:06:00

Technically, rounding up, it were 7mb. But as with any update, most are just DLC data updates anyway, regardless of size. If Mm don't make a fuss over it, then it's just DLC data.

The last time we had a patch this small it only added two sets of DLC data to the game. The Bug Blaster and the Beta Vest.

Not saying it has anything to do with a beta, just that at most it will only contain a small number of DLC items.

So, we may have a couple of single costume items coming up soon, or a really small pack of some sort 		2010-08-02 18:36:00

i'm so glad it's not just me. i come back for 2 days, havent even used the back up feature yet, play my old levels, and then immediately after this update my two most time consuming to build levels; free at least and false idols iii ; start failing to load.

they load in the very old beta client, so i know for sure the patch did it.

fix this please, mm

i sent spaff a message about it, but i doubt he'll read it anytime soon, or even remember me to look. so anybody suffering this problem, please make an official thread to complain about it, so it's not just me with a sob story and people saying 'oh well'		2010-08-02 19:05:00

Has anyone tried republishing one of the problem levels again to see if that clears it up?

Also on the beta servers I know we've had some issues with ICO sound effects.... anyone have the windmill sound in these? Might be worth testing to see if pulling those out temporarily will make them playable again or publish two test levels identical except one with the sound effect & one without - just to see if that could be the culprit.		2010-08-02 19:26:00

It was my only one.
They completely erased me, for the second time
That's why I can't put enough focus in making levels, I've got two levels that I won't ever finish because I get too bitter with this game.

@Morgana
I don't know about the others, but the levels don't work either on your moon.

Aha, that could possibly be it! I know both of my non-loading levels use ICO sounds, and I don't think any of the others do. Might quickly test that now.		2010-08-02 19:33:00

Yeah.. I am having issues loading levels that are pretty much right at the full mark. I even dumped a ton of stuff out of my popit like all community objects (there were a ton!!) as well as quite a few personal objects.

Seems weird that an extra content patch would do this to us, but it does seem suspicious as this stuff loaded find the other day. Keep us posted if anyone hears anything.

Another note is that a new level that has only half thermo and had several in playing it the other day keeps giving me a Diverge Game error when trying to teleport at the beginning. The level loads... it just fails in the beginning teleport sequence after you are all in the game. Could be coincidence, but it started happening right after the update. 		2010-08-02 19:36:00

Okay, just tested the ICO sounds, did what Morgana said and published two levels, one with and one wiothout. Both worked fine. A level I've been working on for a few months that use ICO sounds also loads fine in Create mode.2010-08-02 19:39:00

That sucks Omega - Don't know what the heck's going on with the moon issue. Sorry to hear.

@ jww - I've opened and republished my Greece level since the update and you've seen that thermo is bursting. I can't add a single four cornered object or another decoration without it bursting so I'm not convinced it's thermo that's causing it. I do not have ICO windmill sound effects in this one though... I'll check Teotehuacan when I get home, that one does have them.

EDIT: ok - ICO seems to be off the hook for this per Nuclearfish... anything else these levels have in common we can narrow down?		2010-08-02 19:40:00

Sounds to me like this is something similar to the ICO sounds bug. All of these levels probably have one item of some sort which is for some reason causing them to fail to load.

When was the earliest a failed to load level was published/updated? That could give us an idea what DLC it couldn't be. Both of mine were around October 2009.		2010-08-02 19:52:00

Don't know if that may be the reason Nuke.
I want to make a try then speak...
My level was first published September 19th 2009.

Edit: I tried steve_big_guns's Something Beneath and it works.
It heavily relies on the thermo glitch, so I assume that the problem is not on the thermo.

I'll try to remember the level objects I used in my level.
Leds
Gears
The infamous ICO sounds
Clouds
It has the history pack music and don't remember what else.

Also, when the sticker bug from the Beta propagated in the game, my level didn't worked either
And after a patch all my motor bolts de-synced.		2010-08-02 20:00:00

You could be right, but this is like trying to find a needle in a haystack without knowing what a needle looks like, and with your eyes closed (as it looks like myself and some others cant Edit the problem levels either)

I can say it doesn't seem to be a thermo issue, and the last level I updated that does work was updated 6 days ago		2010-08-02 20:17:00

Ya, narrowing this down is gonna be interesting.....

So October of 09 seems to be the earliest. You haven't republished at all since then? Just curious if they would be in the original format or would have been affected by subsequent updates to create mode like the Creator pack and making stuff invisible and the like.		2010-08-02 20:21:00

Well.. in looking, neither Space Escape or Space Escape II load either on my moon or off the planet.

If it's effecting your levels online, then I'd assume it's ok to download the update, I think all it is, is the update has corrupted an object making it so any levels containing that object are not playable. If it is that it's nothing a little patch can't fix.

What I'm pleased to report, for the nostalgic people like me, is that Zwollie and MrsSpookybuz level works fine.
It would be sad if the level would need to be republished after the correction patch and levels from the people who is gone won't work anymore.

@Morgana
dajdaj's circus is Jan 3th 2010 and it doesn't work, I tried to remember levels that were published in the window of time you mention and it doesn't seem to be a connection so far.

What I'm sure is that the thermo (that is one of the problems of my level) is not the cause, since my and Miglioshin level Deep Under The Snow works fine.

I have an unpublished section of level from the beta and another bit of level that works fine.		2010-08-02 21:23:00

Good idea! Both Sacky Potter and Clockworx use:

Ah, interesting, I checked to see what DLC The Descent 2 used because it's one of the broken levels so I clicked 'Find DLC used by this level' and was greeted with 'Problem loading data'.

Crap, I lost my pod, it's gone, luckily I have it saved, so just a warning, DO NOT check what DLC a broken level uses unless you have your pod saved.

Edit: Happened a second time to, but I can see what DLC this level uses now...

ICO
MGS
History
Monster
Creator Pack 1

Using Nuclear's levels DLC this narrows it down to:

Monster
History
ICO

I have History material (ancient maps), sounds (clock), stickers (roman plate, gothic support, griphon pedestal that are in Morgy's greek level that is working)
Ico stickers (gliph) and sounds (wind ones)
Monster stickers (but I would not count it since the horns I used are in Morgana's Teotihuacan) and materials (reptilian skin, egg)		2010-08-02 22:03:00

It's only really levels which don't work that we need to know what DLC they use. When we find out what they have in common I suppose we go from there... But because it could be a single object from one of these DLC packs, the majority of levels which still use the rest of the DLC content will be fine.

What we're looking for now are any levels that don't work which don't use the History, Monster or ICO packs.		2010-08-02 22:19:00

It won't let me see what DLC you used, it's all greyed out.

Did you use any DLC?

It's only really levels which don't work that we need to know what DLC they use. When we find out what they have in common I suppose we go from there... But because it could be a single object from one of these DLC packs, the majority of levels which still use the rest of the DLC content will be fine.

What we're looking for now are any levels that don't work which don't use the History, Monster or ICO packs.

I think it's not the history pack, since the stuff I have in my level is in other levels that work, like Greece from Morgy, so I would count that out, and Suterranean sure hasn't non of that.
Ico or monster pack.
I tried Mother Misty levels from the period after Jun 09.
She hadn't use any dlc and they work sweet.		2010-08-02 22:24:00

Double post. Bad Javi.

I just checked all my levels, which make liberal use of Ico, Monsters, some History, Music, etc... and they're all fine. I think it's not enough to narrow this down to packs... there must be a specific item which is causing the problems, and I'm guessing that it's related to the Ico pack. I only use the hollow wind sound, but it might be the other wind sound.

Anyone?		2010-08-02 22:24:00

Sincerely I won't suggest your idea javi, I was going to do it before reading it while trying to figure out the stuf I used, but I feared for the datas.

Again, since I updated the post and many could not have seen it
This is the list of dlc stuff I used in my level

History material (ancient maps), sounds (clock), stickers (roman plate, gothic support, griphon pedestal that are in Morgy's greek level that is working)
Ico stickers (gliph) and sounds (wind ones)
Monster stickers (but I would not count it since the horns I used are in Morgana's Teotihuacan) and materials (reptilian skin, egg)		2010-08-02 22:26:00

I just noticed Rhys Planet of the Power planet failed to load, he used History ICO and Monster in his level too D:

That fails to load 90% of the time on the first try. It works fine on the second try.

I just tried my first 2 levels published in March and April 09 which haven't any new DLC added to them, and they both work fine.		2010-08-02 22:28:00

It's not about pulished levels, it's about the internal game settings, since the "broken" levels fail to load even from My Moon.

Mistervista told me that the Ico efect of the horse is in 2 of his levels and they are not working.		2010-08-02 22:35:00

True. It could still only affect levels prior to the update, which is why the ones I published still worked. But my unpublished level uses the windmill sound from ICO and works fine, so it can't be that specific sound.

In Clockowrx the only ICO sound I remember using was also the windmill, and in Sacky Potter I think I used hollow win and the horse sound.		2010-08-02 22:42:00

I'm not able to export pictures to my HDD, can someone try this see if it's me or the update? It just says "The Image XXXX couldn't be exported for some reason".

Aaand, then there's the fact my community moon has decided it doesn't like hanging around all day (geddit?) and is not visible. There just isn't an Earth there at all. But admittedly, that's pretty cool, I'd show you some pictures but... well... yeah...

Has anyone tried republishing one of the problem levels again to see if that clears it up?

Also on the beta servers I know we've had some issues with ICO sound effects.... anyone have the windmill sound in these? Might be worth testing to see if pulling those out temporarily will make them playable again or publish two test levels identical except one with the sound effect & one without - just to see if that could be the culprit.

nah and nah, and these levs all have those sounds but loaded in the beta for me. they did sumpin		2010-08-02 23:35:00

Apart from the 2 levels with the 'ICO' horse sound in not working I've also just had the worst night on LBP for a very long time i.e. every level played was unbelievably laggy, the loading screen appeared for 2-3 minutes at a time, game disappearing and then to top it all off I got the revolving save arrows in the bottom left corner but with no sackboy figure in that just wouldn't stop. I ended up having to quit the game whereupon I got the dreaded '3 beeps' and the PS3 rebooted and switched the controller off.

That makes zero sense...LBP2 is a different game it shouldn't change a single byte of your LBP1 data. If the level format needs to be changed for LBP2 you do that with an export/import. If this has anything to do with LBP2 I'm going to have to write off the Mm developers as a bunch of clowns.

I'm sorry, but yes.
If you want I can try to see your stuff when I get home but that means still 7-8 hours.
Maybe you can find around someone that can check your situation.

Then just to make things clear I will try to summarize what we know.

-The levels affected have been published between Jun 09 and Jan 10
-The levels fail to load both on the global server and on Your Moon
-The DLCs that may have caused the bug are Monster Kit, The History Pack and most supposedly the Ico kit (specifically sounds)
-Levels that contain said elements but have been published past Jan 2010 seem to be not affected.

Levels that are not working:

-Jump Button's Up and Away in Sky Town 1 and 2
-OmegaSlayer's Run For Your Freedom
-Nuclearfish's Sacky Potter and Clockworx
-NinjaMicWZ's Free at last and False Idols 3
-Javi_Haguse's Descent2
-Jwwphoto's SSpace Escape 1 and 2
-Mistervista's sherriff sack 2 and bucky bronco
-Tanuki75 (6 levels broken)
-rtm's subterranean setbacks
-Rangerzero's Sack's on the beach
-dajdaj03's supersack market and circus
-poms' miracle of life

It really doesn't make much difference if you get the patch or not. If anyone plays any of your levels they could still fail to load.

However, I assume one of your levels DID fail to load for everyone else, if you play the game offline without downloading the patch the level should still work for you on your moon. Meaning that this shouldn't be too much of a difficult problem to fix.		2010-08-03 09:10:00

Hey David, if it helps I can tell you that my 2 levels that aren't working are the only levels I've used the ICO sound in and it's the HORSE one in both. Nothing to do with thermo either because the bucking bronco level has hardly anything in it.

RIGHT - Bruce Willis AKA Paul says that It's looking like the ICO Sound object is throwing up the errors, or rather a script that links to it - well deduced - we're just working out a plan of action for fixing it now - it will have to be another patch so it won't be immediate - sorry about this, it's the silliest little thing that's wrong!

in the mean time -are there any levels i should know about that are not loading and DO NOT contain the ICO Sound object?		2010-08-03 13:02:00

Keep in mind they were not loading from our Moons also. So something server side only may not be a total fix. Or maybe it is?

..and no, no others levels not loading that we know of. Unless it was not loading prior to this and that is a whole other big gooey question.

Thanks so much! Please give Bruce a doughnut! Oh wait... about noon there. Ummmm cookie?

UPDATE!! - Both of mine (Space Escape and Space Escape II) now load as well as load from my moon after going online. YAY!!!

Keep in mind they were not loading from our Moons also. So something server side only may not be a total fix. Or maybe it is?

If I understand correctly, these levels on your moon may not load if you are offline, but should work when online, so we may have to wait for the next patch for a full fix. But meh, who cares - is good to see such a rapid response to an issue like this 		2010-08-03 13:40:00

Thank You Mm! My Ghostbusters Level is now free to record just as many plays (be it now excuseless--) as during the 'Ico Hours'...

Whoa, Gravel breathes a...

Can you imagine what life would be like around here if LBP2 'failed to load' any level containting a glitch? World-wide, chickens would be running around as their heads suddenly would 'lop-plop' right-off.		2010-08-03 13:55:00

True and why I mentioned it.. but heck yeah, I am so relieved. That at least solves folks playing them online. Yay Mm!!

..however, they might want to reaaaaally look at why that same sound module has given us so many problems so many times. Possibly some wacky properties file merge issue? Sorry that I think in Java and WSAD. 		2010-08-03 13:55:00

RIGHT - Bruce Willis AKA Paul says that It's looking like the ICO Sound object is throwing up the errors, or rather a script that links to it - well deduced - we're just working out a plan of action for fixing it now - it will have to be another patch so it won't be immediate - sorry about this, it's the silliest little thing that's wrong!

I was right?!? Yay Lucky guess.		2010-08-03 15:21:00

Oh, you mean problems just for the levels I publish if I stay offline?

Pardon my slowness. ^^;

Pardon me if I am late but I fear you are getting misinformed.
The bug with levels not loading happened with 1.29 -- If you don't update at 1.29 you won't get the bug. But this probably means you can only play the game while not being connected to PSN.

EDIT: ...hmmm well, supposedly fixed now (might still happen offline if you update 1.29 though)		2010-08-03 17:32:00

Yay me too. Nice to know my reporting of this bug ages ago has finally been recognised as being correct.

BTW My levels are now working ok. Thanks Mm for the swift fix. *crosses fingers and hopes all is good now permanently*.		2010-08-03 17:52:00

Media molecule is awesome.

This reminds me of a story.

When I was very young my older sister had a Siamese cat that disliked everyone but her. One day after being snubbed by the cat for no apparent reason I caught him and put him in a small inflatable boat that I set adrift in our pool.

Not understanding physics, when the boat got close to the side of the pool the cat decided to leap for freedom.
As you may have guessed the inflatable boat was pushed back and the cat fell quite unceremoniously into the water.
The cat complained quite vocally as only a Siamese cat can as it cat paddled around the edge of the pool.
I very quickly scoped him out of the water helped him dry off with a towel.

After that day I had a new feline pal that followed me everywhere (I always felt a little guilty about that).
His little kitty brain couldn't make the connection between the rescue and who put him in that situation to begin with.

True story...perhaps. Be kind to animal kids! 		2010-08-03 21:49:00

You'd better not let PETA get wind of this story, they'd have a field day!

Then again, LBP isn't the most animal-friendly game. You can force rocket cheetahs to crash painfully into walls, or make cows explode using triggered explosives, not to mention that I think all of the giraffes suffered neck injuries.		2010-08-03 23:46:00

Hi all!
I've been off work and ill, but I'm in now, fully alerted to this problem and will be trying to get to the bottom of it!

Sorry to everyone affected, we'll work out what's going on here!

Sweet! I'm tired of the constant load screen. D:

And I love how you make a post and it then gets thanked a hole bunch lol		2010-08-04 03:49:00

Ive been having some more problems. For one, when I tried to join Alec, the loading took forever (could also be because Marvel Pack 3 was added to the store at that exact moment..), some people couldnt join me, loading times were longer than usual, and Prattz told me that he couldnt join anyone because they had a full party, including me, but there was only one person with me. So um yeah, whats going on with the servers? I've also had the 'no talking while that earth icon is on the screen' glitch quite a bit lately.2010-08-04 04:13:00

As for the patch. It has been causing some unwanted (literally) 'crap'.

Me and friends (had this lots with Cin today) have been diverging, having long rewinds that cause diverges. And long load times. Hope they get this fixed real soon!		2010-08-04 04:58:00

Their Twitter was correct. The things affected still will not work unless you log on. It is a temporary patch they included server side to get us by until they can put out another version to make the fix permanent.		2010-08-04 05:54:00

Possibly, but that I suspect is changes they have done on their servers and network. Possibly a bit to do with the patch. Hate to hear you have so many problems, but makes me feel a bit better as I have been testing a new level and have gotten the Diverge game a few times which instantly makes me think... uh oh.. what they heck did I do!! I think it is just their network currently.

Really!?!?! I will have to try it off line and see if mine load now.


'Sigh* It killed me... I just got the dreaded 'Recent changes to your profile could not be saved due to an unknown error' message... EDIT: Can I fix it?

Wow.. so sorry to hear that. Not sure if that is the update or just a terrible issue unrelated. If I were you, I would do some searches in the Help forum and if you see nothing else, go ahead and make a thread as this might be a unique issue and others will be able to give you a hand. You might try loading an recent profile backup and see if that clears it up, but again.. I would get this out in the open so more can give you some ideas. Good luck!		2010-08-06 13:32:00

I'm starting to show the telltale symptoms of LBP withdrawal. I was planning to wait for a 1.30 update and haven't tried to work on my level since Saturday. I'm super close to being finished...guess I can always work on it offline since I've avoided getting the 1.29 update. Sorry to hear people are still having problems.2010-08-06 15:07:00

For the most part, it really isn't that bad. There were some loading level issues that have been taken care of. The rest are more online experience related in diverging games etc.. I really haven't had that too many times. Just get a run of them at times and think it might be related to server peaks loads causing some shenanigans. Perhaps they have enabled a new region on the servers in anticipation of the new Beta? Hmmm... never know!

If you are playing by yourself.. well.. it really isn't an issue! 		2010-08-06 15:21:00

Talking about fixing stuff... ( RTM?? )

Nobody ever bothered Media Molecule with the hearted lists? They are still not functional properly.

- Every level hearted by other people will appear AS HEARTED BY YOU.
- There is always a page or 2 missing in your profile (most of the time, a hearted level page).
- Hearted level pages and Creator pages are mixed up in order.

seriously, will they EVER fix that? Also, will my hearted list transfert to LBP2 ??

But then maybe they'll fix the problem by getting rid of theck! :eek:

The ThecX-Men must live, so that we may use theck for great justice.

They should do something about hearted levels though, it's pretty annoying needing to unheart levels in order to give them a proper heart after playing them.		2010-08-07 16:02:00

I've noticed similar issues with scores. I will show a nice score that should be #1 or #2, but not to be found in the list on the level. Trying again later.. there it is and again later maybe gone again. I am sure the issue is related though...		2010-08-07 16:32:00
