Press 'Start' to return to game???

Post by Sickboy »

Hello! I'm playing on Steam using a wired Xbox pad and I can't, for the love of Christ, make it go back to the start screen once I've completed all 100 levels. The game just hangs. Any clues?

Ah, thanks. A big pain because I finished on 8 million 700 thousand something but can't save the score. :(

Pretty sure I can get up to 8 figures with more discipline in the later levels.

And I'm shit at the follow-the-line reggae bonus round, so I lose a lot of points there.

Does anybody know if there is a workaround or anything? Does a 360 controller work? The XB1 controller does not, and I couldn't get any keyboard keys to work either.

... I just checked that bit of code ..

It would NOT work no matter what button you press :cry:

I even found a "TODO" that I suppose I completely forgot to "DO" ..

I can vaguely remember there was all a shit of problem because the 360 controller "Start/Back" but the Xbox one has "View" and "Menu" and "Menu" was used for the menus and "View" was something else so no wait no ..

... however .. this is fix that can be fixed ( well after testing ) by literally changing one of two bits .. well or better to say to define a different key to be pressed in that case, as it does happen on the XBOX One.

Now before you ask/say "WHAT ABOUT THE PATCH/Fix/Etc. then ?" now that's ALL ANOTHER STORY you'll have to wait a little extra more for that.

Anyway yes, I can perfectly see now where/what the problem is, but it's not hard to fix.

What amazes me ( no I NEVER personally played the game until the end, not on the PC version ) is that "the testing missed that", damn they made me "a head that big" with this and that and yet they missed this one :mrgreen:

I hate to inform you but I just saw the patch dropped and this still seems to be an issue?

giles - I love you guys. I love this game. But I'm super pissed that even with this patch the Start button does not work.

Is there a workaround in this patch? Some keyboard configuration change or something?

Hello again. Yeah, as tmoney says, you still can't get back to the game once you complete Level 100. :(

Is there any way round this?

Is there any word on a fix for this?

I'll never be able to compete with the high scores for the PlayStation and Xbox guys until this bug has been fixed, And that's a real bummer... :cry:

Hopefully there will be at least one more patch which will include a fix for this. I find this bug a little bit embarrassing for such an awesome arcade game. If it ever does gets fixed I'll be happy to test it on Win10 with my Razer Wildcat controller.

I don't think Llamasoft has any control over that, so you're probably barking up the wrong tree. You ought to contact Zombie Atari.
