HOGIE838EIRE Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I’ve been practicing this level all day and I’ve been getting extremely frustrated!! The problem (which I didn’t realise) was that the locks were opening slowly and they were closing extremely fast. When I reached halfway through the third corridor they began locking and they had locked just as I reached the top corridor. That is impossible! I looked at some YouTube videos and I noticed that they were reaching the top corridor before the locks even began closing. I realised there’s something amiss here. I checked for an update but there was none. Then I closed the application and started it back up, went straight to level 19 again and this time the locks were opening fast. I reached the top before they start locking and had plenty of time to adjust and make my way across. I have no idea what caused the speed of the locks to reverse but restarting the game fixed it. I just want to make people aware so they don’t suffer the same frustration. Closing the game instead of putting it into sleep mode might be a good idea after each use. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimSanta94 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Yeah it's not the only level on the Vita that is glitched, Rapture Dark 15 - Choke is also glitched. Sometimes one of maggots that are on the ceiling will spawn on the floor and become impossible to pass safely. This is why I always tell people that if they want to platinum this game, to do it on a PS4 so they don't have these issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGIE838EIRE Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 This is on the PS4 that the glitch happened. It may be both systems? I’ve had it in sleep mode for days so maybe closing it down each day will stop it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilpain97 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) I never had the level 19 glitch at all but the dark rapture 15 one I did. I was on ps4 as I don't own Vita. Why would you leave your ps4 in rest mode that long? Edited May 31, 2018 by lilpain97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkette Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 It seemed to happen to me when I was on the game for a few hours prior to doing that level, it’s like it slows it down and makes the level lag. Closing the application would always fix it for me though. For that reason alone, I always started with level 19 doing the No Death run. Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While getting the platinum I played on a PS4 and I personally never played the game for more than an hour at a time so that's probably why I hadn't encountered that. During my time playing the game on the Vita i'd experience problems with both levels only after about 10-15 minutes of playing. I can't imagine how frustrating it would be losing a no-death run to either of those. Edited May 31, 2018 by SlimSanta94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've got it right, it's caused by the game being open too long. I noticed the gates closing a little earlier than they should and eventually, they just close faster and faster until it's impossible. I'm not sure how long you've got until it's impossible to do, but it seemed like it took hours to get to that point. 23 hours ago, SlimSanta94 said: Yeah it's not the only level on the Vita that is glitched, Rapture Dark 15 - Choke is also glitched.

Ah, I've seen this one on PS4 as well, though only when playing the level after having died in it a few times. I never saw it playing the level the first time. It's funny the little things you work around without even giving it much though until someone else points it out.

Never said it was bad. I simply asked a question. A lot of games have glitches like this, Bloodborne for example although that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 How did I miss this? Finally going to start practicing the levels again. Cotton Alley is just disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen it on a first attempt but if I die and restart the level sometimes the maggot is on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time around the glitch never happens, but after a death can happen. Good thing is, it shouldn't happen on a no-death run ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kcrack_Km Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I was about to post about this in the bitching thread lmao. I was practising Cotton Alley last night and this stage went from being cleared 75% of the time to literally impossible. I was frustrating myself trying to pinpoint exactly how I got so bad, turns out the gaps behind you would close before the ones in front of meatboy would even open. ? But yeah, closing and opening the app fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Dubz Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Ugh, now this makes more sense. I was wondering how the hell you can even make it when it starts closing this early! Will try rebooting then. I experienced the same issue with 5-15x as others have with the bug on the ground, but I also had a similar issue with 5-5x, "Nix". The bridge would close faster than it usually would, making it damn near impossible to get across in time. I only had this issue when I started 5-5x from the map, but never once had this problem when going from 5-4x to 5-5x. I hope this helps anyone who is experiencing similar issues!

damienjablonski Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) This happened to me twice on PS5 when going for the no death run trophy on cotton alley dark world (~10 hours of attempts, so it’s quite rare). It’s obvious when the bug happens, there is no way you can make it to the end of XOXO when it occurs (if you go VERY fast you might make it with a few frames to spare). I found that exiting the level doesn’t fix the issue but exiting the game and starting it again does (as others have said here). I’d recommend doing XOXO as one of the first 5 levels for no death runs for anyone going for the platinum and that’s partially because of the randomness of the bug. I lost a run to it once which was frustrating to say the least. Edited December 9, 2021 by damienjablonski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g34hgfggn Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Honestly? I'd just reset after 2-3 hours of attempting it. I don't like to spend much more than that on attempts anyway, lest they consume my whole day, and it falls well short of the time needed for the glitch to happen.
