Title Update is Coming!

by

We just got off the phone with Microsoft and we had a great talk about updating Castle Crashers, YES!! Looks like we’re on our way to getting this title update out and the bigger issues like saving and online connectivity resolved, in addition to other bugs that have been reported. A suggestion for those that might be having some online problems with Quick Match or Custom Match is to possibly try hosting a match instead. Also we’ve been informed that there are some suggestions out there about how to help recover your lost saved data. Again, we’re working on resolving these issues for the update but these might help you in the meantime.

We don’t have a specific time frame yet but we have been working on all known issues as soon as they appeared. Our team has gone without rum and biscuits since we became aware of the issues and will continue to deprive our programming team of both sleep and contact with family and friends (they don’t really have friends).

I want to take a second and thank everyone who sent in their emails, forum posts, threat letters, etc over the past few days. We’ve read through everything and have been responding to as many issues as we can. We’re directing most of our attention to actually fixing the problems so please be patient if you don’t hear an immediate response. Yay for communication!

If you have anything to report to us please keep emailing them to games[at]thebehemoth[dot]com and for the love of all that is good in this world put a relevant subject line like “Castle Crashers Bug Blah Blah Blah” but not, “OMFGFTWROFLCOPTER”

Thanks we love you all in that kind of way that’s not weird and uncomfortable.

Your BFF,

-Emil-

  1. @ shaun
    so… i take it you have a great deal of programming experience?
    programming involves a ton of lines of code and even a small error can lead to a large amount of bugs. Even a large multi-million dollar dev team can leave bugs in finished software

    I have some programming experience, yes. When I see a bug, I fix it. These are glaring and obvious errors, ignored by the programmers. A five-dollar dev team should catch ’em.

  2. hey rex. find something to do with your life so you dont waste your days trying to pick online blog fights. no one should even bother commenting to anything this guy says its just feeding the fire. This is a great game. if you hated it so much then dont play it, go outside for once in your life.

  3. Dang people, if we keep saying the same things over and over again (why doesn’t online work? you guys should have checked it. I can’t save my game. blah blah blah) I’m pretty sure that an admin will lay into you…at least I hope they will. They have stated the problems, they have responded to emails and forum posts, they have stated the solution, and they have not given a time frame because THEY DON’T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE COMPLETED. So, for all of our sakes, give these cats a break. They checked their product but you’re dealing with a large amount of lines of code and things happen. So sit back, enjoy single player offline and just wait.

  7. I haven’t bought the game yet, since I still need to purchase points, but I have played the demo and the game is awsome!I also have an idea.I dont know if it would or could happen, but what if you guys made this game for release in stores.Like on a disk?

  8. put castle crashers in wikipedia and look the character list there say how you can get the king,the grey knight etc…

    i look and if you want to get the king Unlocked by completing king’s Arena.

    !!!i do that¡¡¡

  10. I disagree. I feel someone can think something is awesome, while still being able to spot things they feel are negatives about the experience. While it seems many feel Rex Dart’s initial post on the matter was strongly worded, he is saying in part what many of us are also saying: the game is fun, and it would be more fun if it were working at 100%. If he really hated the game, I doubt he would be here on the devblog with us, waiting for news of it being at that 100%.

  11. Necromancer is the black knight with wings, red eyes, and horns. I think he is called the necromancer because he raises people wrom the dead. And DLC stands for downloadable content.

  12. Yeah so tell me how unlocking the king that way works for you. that entry in wikipedia is false. Wikipedia having false info? unheard of….

  13. Man Castle Crashers is such a cool game. I don’t think I’ve ever had this much fun playing a game before. I love the behemoth guys for making such a fun and addicting game. No, seriously, I love you guys 🙂

  14. Castle Crashers is Amazing!!! It’s better than almost all $60 retail games!!!! Glad to here there’s a patch coming.

    and if you guys decide to do dlc, plz add more levels and stuff rather than just characters and weapons.

    Anyway, this game is killer.

  17. I got Necromancer form looking at a person’s profile while they were in that battle, and saw it said “In [location] now fighting Necromancer”. So that’s a definite name.

    Also, Rex Dart was stating the game was not 100% and going over-board over it. He points out flaws and says that it wasn’t debugged, but really, as someone else said in the x-box forums, debugging is extremely tedious, and sometimes bugs slip under the radar. It’s just not as simple as say, fixing a car. The problem can be found within minutes for a car just by going through basic diagnostics, so you never have to check other locations “just in case”. But debugging code, you have to go through all the code, and half of it sometimes isn’t even your code.

    Just try Java programming, it’s one of the more simple coding languages, and even then it’s not easy spotting errors without the help of some sort of tool that detects script errors.

  18. If Castle Crashers is the only thing you can think of to play on the 360, YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG.

    Lots of complaining kids ITT.

    The Behemoth is on it, guys. Just like anyone with a functioning brain would know.

  19. I can’t play with my friend on Xbox Live due to NAT issues. 🙁 I’m unable to change my NAT to Open, and I’m still able to play other games… So hopefully this will fix that problem.

    Thanks for the quick response to these issues, Behemoth! 🙂 That’s awesome. I can’t wait.

  20. Hit me up then sometime SND, I’m bored and getting really frustrated with the X-Box forums for this game. Really miss the Behemoth forums…

    GT is my name shown.

  22. I tried playing online last night and I got through the first level with no problems at all. But then one of my teammates quit and I had to try and find another game…which sucked. I found another game but the bastards kept kicking me. Show me some love. Anyone wanna play some CC?

  23. You know what would be awesome? If you hooked us up with the content that was left out as DLC, aka the lollipop, chainsaw, necromancer, king and wizard. And I got a sneakin feeling not only is DLC, but it’s already locked within the game DLC. If you unlocked it with a patch it would be a nice way to rinse the bad taste of the online out of my mouth, seeing as how I still can’t play online without an almost instant disconnection 9/10’s of the time. And IS there another way to get Alien Hominid without owning the XBLA version? I got it already for gamecube, I shouldn’t have to buy the game twice to get a hidden character.

  24. I’m sad. There was finally an opportunity to obtain the Castle Crashers displays you had for conventions, but it was given away in a random drawing on a very popular site. Those odds are never good. 🙁

  25. Nooo… don’t tell us how to get the other characters (necromancer,king,etc..)
    Just tell us if their playable characters and can be unlocked in the game, I just don’t want to waste my time looking for something thats not there.
