I recently bought the Humble Bundle #4 and I've been having some odd problems.
It lags at the same points in 2-5 (The Big Empty), and doesn't lag pretty much anywhere else.
Bandage-unlockable characters are not unlocking.
Some text is cut off, only leaving the first letter of it.

I'm using Debian on proprietary Nvidia (generic) drivers, x86 version.

Graphical glitches:

Not sure if it's not getting data or something else in custom levels:

Flashes between these two shots, and another with an X replacing all characters that shouldn't be unlocked yet that I couldn't get (note: 22 bandages):

EDIT: I'm not sure if I should put this here or file a bug report. I don't know if it's my end or not either, so I guess this couldn't hurt.

Sounds like the same problems as me.

The Big Empty wasn't too bad with the lagging for me, but in later levels, like 2-11, Ghost Key, the game completely locks up with the lag. In that level, the lag begins as soon as I touch the wall of locks in front of you at the start; not the floor, the floor's fine, (right up until it disappears, anyways :p), but just touching the wall of locks sends my processor churning, and the next couple of frames are usually impossible ones; Ie: meatboy dying behind the wall of locks, or on the wall of locks.


Secondly, I noted that although the first bandage character did not unlock, the second one did, when I got 30 bandages, and while I was able to select him when entering a level, the character select in-level did not work properly.

Also on the X86 version.


Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I've tried different resolutions, fullscreen, med/low/ultralow detail, (from the command line: -meddetail -lowdetail, -ultralowdetail), but the lag isn't caused by graphics.


edit: Er . . . to reduce the lag issues, turning the sound effects down to 0 works.

I have Intel Atom N270 CPU and the lag in  2-5 is so big, that I can't complete this level at all. -ultralowdetail command line option doesn't reduce this lag at all.
