I seem to be having a little problem with parts of the level vanishing and being replaced by little yellow triangles with '!' in them or just a big empty space. This is all within create mode, but now I have this picture which suggests its not just just in create mode, I also have a few messages saying there are holes.. None of it was a problem in LBP1, but LBP2 it seems to have messed with the level. Can anyone enlighten me as to what may be happening and how I can fix it please..

What was supposed to be in the triangles place? Did you use any glitches in LBP1 when you were making this level?

The only glitch is near the end and its a super bouncy platform.. but, that bit of the level seems to be ok.. Its more near the start. I have used lots of squares joined together to make a patchwork effect.. And so its everyone of them that have been replaced with yellow triangles. Do you think its to do with things being to close together? as in, too much, too close. I do get that message sometimes on that level.

I have this too on my level. the thing is... once you have it, you'll have it on every level of the community. (i even noticed '!' in the story levels). I have to restart LBP2 for the '!' to dissapear. It's like if it happens when the PS3 is too much heating or something.

When I placed too many seperate holograms together they all turned to small yellow things and I got the 'there's too much complexity in this area try spacing things further apart' warning. So it could very well be that. It's an really annoying problem to fix... thats a great level too!

Now you mention it though, my PS3 does get over heated and I have to keep it well ventilated to calm the fans down. It worries me more that people may be playing it with massive sections vanished..

Im going to try and space things out or replace lots of squares with bigger squares...

I have seen the complexity message pop up a few times in Create Mode when I zoomed out too much. No permanent damage.

It worries me more that people may be playing it with massive sections vanished.. Like i said, once i have this i'll have it for every level. Just after noticing '!' in my create mode i went to community levels, played Bast Radius and saw NOTHING except a lot of '!' ... Also when going in the create mode of someone else and checking his levels i saw '!' everywhere. He didn't notice it though. So it's like a overheating bug and spacing things further apart won't do much change. I'm actually suprised you're the first one talking about this. I already searched for people with the same problem and except you i didn't find anyone. The onyl solution i found was rebooting the game...

I really hope it doesn't spread to other levels. You might be onto something with the overheating. When I get home (i'm at work now ha ha), ill go straight into that level and see if its ok before the PS3 gets hot. Added to queue because I am curious. I have seen the complexity message pop up a few times in Create Mode when I zoomed out too much. No permanent damage. Thanks, that would be great. I think its mainly near the beginning, once you are past the entrance room. Also, watch out for being able to see the background, this should not be visible at any point on the level. If you can see it, then something is missing. Thanks again.

actually, now I think about it, I have had the complexity message before too, in other levels and no damage was done..

My LBP1 level, Scrumpy Sack, when viewed in LBP2 create mode has about 500 "!" popping up as soon as I enter. After a few seconds the entire level turns invisible. However, on switching to play mode, the "!" marks disappear and everything is fine. It's definitely a complexity issue, and I think if your level makes heavy use of the glitched layers combined with compressed objects then you're much more likely to see this phenonema, since glitch background objects and compressed objects will both technically occupy the same space when overlaid. As far as Scrumpy Sack goes, the complexity issue is only evident in create mode and it doesn't seem to affect gameplay or visuals in play mode, but it sounds like your level must have chunks disappearing in play mode too.

I haven't done too much glitching.. merging.. glitched layers etc on this level, so Im not sure its that.. Im going home now from work so ill have a look at simplifying it..

Quick update: it's not only the level that has the yellow triangles, it's the background as well. The background disappears and the boundary wall is just loads of yellow triangles. Doesn't seem to be a problem anywhere but at the start of the level so I will try and simplify that part, see if it helps.
