Some bugs in The stars are left

[Oneyr]

Hi there !

I found some bugs (or maybe are they normal ? that's still weird :/) in The stars are left :
- Just after Gram's workshop in the second level, there is a female PNJ and a kind of stand. When I talk to her, my game always crashs instantly, without any error message.
- In the third level, sometimes, when I fall off a cliff, I don't die and have no choice but to restart the entire level. Pretty frustrating, in this difficult level.
- In the third level, in the first room at the left, I can't come back in any manner, even after having activated the interruptor and killed all the present monsters. That is a main problem, because we have to activate this interruptor to remove the tentacles blocking several doors/rooms.
- In the third level, in the room after the Portal Magick, I'm blocked in the room because of a tentacle and mainly because I similarly can't come back. Here too, I have no choice but to entirely restart the level. Frustrating.
- I have only one new robe. Where is the second one ? Do we have to unlock it by finishing the campaign ?

I hope that these problem will be fixed soon, or that someone will explain me the solution if they're not bugs !

And now, an IMMENSE new bug, that I didn't encountered before : in the second level, when arriving to the village, the world is vertical and I immediately fall horizontally... WTF ?

The steam-store page says there should be 2 new robes, I can only see the investigator robe when I start a new game. Was that supposed to be a single new robe, is the second robe unlockable, or am I just missing something?

It says 'two new robes' but I can only see the detective robe. Is the other one an unlockable?

Maybe.....

I am not sure... is that a bug or an enigma ? Has someone successed into passing this ?

I can't exactly remember how I did it, but yes, you do have to go back through there.

Speaking of bugs, I had quite a few lost moments in the third level because I thought that you had to use Levitation to float across gaps, and ended up getting places I shouldn't have. I think I activated an orb out of order, and I had to resort to using Water Mine jumping to get up to Cthulhu's room.

And Portal only makes Portals next to you. Is that meant to happen?

 

[Oneyr]

For the Portal Magick, I think so, yes. In fact, you have to put a Portal in prevision first, and then, after having walked somewhere, to put a second Portal. But be careful, the Portals only work if they're at max one screen of distance of each other. If they're too far, you can't use them to teleport. By the way, a wrorking Portal can also be used to teleport beam and rocks !

So, that Magick is less useful that in the game Portal, but it can still be useful, for example into the north-west room of the third level : that allow you to pass the gap really quickly, and that makes the puzzle really easy.

Hi, I'd like to awake this old thread.

What's regarding the not being able to leave the tentacle removing room bug? It was reported more than a year ago in this thread and also here.

Actually I see the reason it may be not seen by developers - the problem actually exists only for players with old-school 4:3 screens. On the wide-screens everything is OK, but if you have a 4:3 screen, you just don't see the exit. So you have to try this trick with arcane mines or just give up. Actually there are some other places in this level (e.g. part with Portal spell) which is not possible to exit normally with 4:3 aspect ration. Bad thing is that even if you switch to windowed mode, you still can select only 4:3 resolutions.

So could you please do something regarding this issue? Magicka is a nice game, but buying a new screen is a bit too high requirement to play one level, isn't it?

Make a new thread instead of necromancing one. Also try asking at the tech support maybe gives more answers for you.

What zezeb said, you can always link to an older thread to point out that something was reported in it or similar and the Tech Support forum is the place to be.
Regarding the actual issue, this does right a bell and frankly, I thought it was fixed. I'll investigate and see if we can't take care of it. Thanks for reporting it.

Thank you for the response. I'd really appreciate to see this issue fixed, as it kept me from playing "Stars are left" for a long time..
