Stuck at top of pod - Game broke!

Archive: 10 posts


So started up LBP3 and Sackboy is stuck at the top of the screen. Can't get to the controller to play anything. Anyone else seen this and if so has anyone found a fix? This is the PS4 disc version. Tried shutting down completely and it did not fix it.

Here is my chat log with Sony chat since the game website does not have a method to contact and tells you to contact Sony instead:

Luis: Hello, My name is Luis how may I assist you today?
You: Playing LBP3 and my character got stuck at the top of the pod and the game is unplayable now.
You: Turned off PS4 and no fix
You: LBP3 support had no support information other than to contact Sony support
Luis: I am so sorry that you are having this issue, I will do the best in order to help you with this.
Luis: Can you be so kind to provide me with your first name, online ID(nickname online) and sign in ID(email), please?
You: u mean all the stuff I filled out in order to get in chat, k
Luis: Yes.
You: ******, Blastroid, ********
You: someone of LBP Central also had this problem on the PS3 and is still looking for a resolution also
Luis: Did you receive an error code or an error message whtn it happened?
You: no
You: here is a video I made of the problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N04M-Pv_Ycs
Luis: I am sorry but unfortunately I am not able to see youtube here.
You: I doubt there is a solution to this yet as it appears to be a glitch what are the proper channels to get the bug escalated to the development team?
Luis: Please, wait while I research this for you.
Luis: Thank you for waiting, Roger. In this case I will provide you some basic troubleshooting steps that may fix the issue and if you still having the same issue you will have to contact the developer with the following email that I am going to provide you: http://www.mediamolecule.com/

What you can do in this case is delete the game access in safe mode with the steps that are in the following link when you be there, please, select the option rebuilt database and press yes, then install the game again and try to play the game.
Luis: http://us.playstation.com/support/answer/index.htm?a_id=5044
Luis: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
You: yes please notify the developer of the game bug - this is not a ps4 issue and I would rather wait on a patch than have to lose everything I have worked so hard on up until now - I just need to know that the developer is aware of this non-isolated game breaking bug
Luis: Ok, I will take your feedback and in this case wait until they launch a patch of the issue.
Luis: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
You: this renders the $69 game unplayable until they can come up with a solution. deleting a game profile only temporarily fixes the issue since the glitch can happen again and probably will
You: wait
You: i did not ask you to wait until a patch comes out, I asked you to make sure they are aware of the issue
Luis: We cannot get in contact with them through chat support.
You: then why is there no method of contact for the LBP3 game?
You: is it a dead end and no one can contact them?
You: the game web site says see Sony contact for help
Luis: You can contact them and let them know this situation.
You: how?
You: i would have it they gave me a way
Luis: With the email that I already provided you.
You: instead I am here chatting with an auto script of sorry
You: this is a website not an email address - http://www.mediamolecule.com/
You: also mediamolecule did not develop LBP3
You: they did 1 and 2
Luis: I'm truly sorry, unfortunately it seems that I'm not able to assist you with your specific request at this moment. I'm sorry I wasn't able to complete your request. If there's no other concern I can help you with today I'll need to disconnect the chat. Thank you for contacting PlayStation Chat support, I hope you have a good day.
The chat has been ended by the agent.

Still have not fixed it but here are some more details:

Loaded the game as a different profile and could load in just fine. When trying to get the bugged profile to join the game it loaded in bugged (stuck in the air).

Went to create mode and then loaded the bugged profile and still broke.

Changed the spawn to load a different character than Sackboy and the bugged profile loaded in just fine. I could fly, land on the ground,.... So this tells me there is something bugged only with the Sackboy character.

I tried killing sackboy, removing the spawn and killing him again. No fix.

He would not react to any portals or throwing button on is head to perform portal or any other logic.

Could not create material on him but once the materials were created you could put the material directly on the same layer of the Sackboy. Sackboy would do the animation like he is being cramped but nothing else would happen.

This happened to me while in the Beta. Unfortunately the only way to "fix" this is to delete your LBP3 Profile save.You should wait for a reply from the dev's help email before trying this.2014-11-25 17:04:00

I got this bug last night. Unfortunately the only fix was to delete my save data and restart completely on the Adventure Mode. I did however export my old data in Online Storage before deleting from System Storage in case this terrible bug ever gets patched.2014-11-25 18:28:00

Yes deleting a profile would resolve the problem but not fix it. As this can happen over and over again. I do not want to have to keep re-playing and acing the levels every few weeks in order to keep playing the game. I will wait for a patch and play on other profiles and learn while I wait for my main profile to get fixed. I remember this same glitch happening in LBP1 or 2. My main concern is to make sure thee developer is aware of the issue. I sent an e-mail and I know a few people that can contact Sumo reads these forums. So now it is the waiting game.2014-11-25 19:04:00

New update: I went into a new create level and looked at Personal. It showed an Entrance and in materials it showed Basic Cardboard. Since I have nothing i the level the cardboard must be what is on my Sackboy causing all the problems. I cannot select it or delete the unseen carboard from my Sackboy but thought I would share.

I am free, free at last!!!!!!!

So I went to personal in the popit. Chose to highlight the cardboard. It was spinning around my character far from view. After messing around it finally stopped spinning and I was able to select and delete it.

Happened to me in the middle of create mode.
Went Swoop and backed up my levels and with bitter fury I deleted my Save Data, having to start the tutorials and adventure levels again.
Glad you are free, Blastroid. Nice work.
