It’s not. It’s mentioned a few times on GAF

It’s kinda similar to how Half Life 2 made me feel ill. But that could easily be fixed by changing the FOV.

There were some parts that messed with me in that way, but I just powered through it as usual lol.

Platform: 360
Level: Triple Decker Train

I completed the level, but wanted to go back and pick up the dolls and Hi-Jinks I’d missed. Unfortunately I am stuck at Coal Car (with the big padlock). When playing the game through first time when I appraoched the Coal Car a cutscene played and the other members of the family appeared. I then stacked into them and used the biggest doll to open the padlock. This time the family has not appeared and I am stuck. I cannot return to the train station and I cannot progress through the level. Please help.

Thanks,

PS. Awesome game, despite this little bug.

I’ve completed the first two “Break out of the Brig” challenges as well as all the others on the zeppelin. Now I can’t get back into the brig. The guards just say “I’m taking you to the brig!” and “There he is, get ‘em!”, etc. They just chase me and run up to me but don’t take me anywhere and I haven’t managed to find a way back in to complete the last challenge where you have to push the roller skate.

I’m having the same problem on the PS3, except the challenges I’ve completed are the fire and the skate (1 and 3). I can’t seem to get arrested.

Since it happened, I’ve proceeded on and completed the game, and it still seems to be the case… I have bought the DLC, so maybe the fix for the other bug with this set of puzzles broke this?

As far as i can tell they have no plans to FIX the BUG. The last i heard from Double Fine was 3 months ago and at that point they advise you basically start a new game and do all the Breaking the Brig challenges before completing that level. They state it takes 15 minutes to get back to that point.

It took me roughly an hour to get back to that point and complete the 2 trophies that were not working because of the BUG.

On a personal note. The fact the bug still exists is frustrating and whilst i can appreciate costs involved versus gain achieved. I would like to say that last hour playing Stacking left me completely out of love with what was a great game. The experience has been spoilt and i’ll definitely be reluctant with future releases.

As I said in another thread I’m pretty sure you can bypass that bug by removing the patch, getting the solutions while playing without the patch, and then re-downloading the patch.

You cannot delete a patch on PS3.

You can delete the entire game and redownload it. But then the mandatory patch system kicks in.

My biggest problem with the whole affair is the fact neither Sony, THQ or Double Fine seem to think warning customers is worth their time. Fair enough they aren’t fixing it. But at least let people know so they can just avoid it in the first place!

Hi,

When I complete Various of Achievements they won’t Unlock and I get a Generic Screen that states “Your Achievements Will Appear Here.”

Is this some kind of glitch?

Hello, i am experiencing motion sickness symptoms with Stacking as well. Just played Costume Quest (which was fine and very playable for me), and downloaded the Stacking demo.

Quite a charming game, but 5 Minutes of playing and I felt nauseous and dizzy.

I really love your studios work, and would like to play more games you made, so please in future games, take care about this issue. Maybe have some special beta testers with motion sickness problems test your games (Nintendo did that extensively with Mario Galaxy, which I could play without experiencing any of these symptoms).

Greets and thanks from Germany,

Hi guys,

I was super psyched to play Stacking on pc; as my Xbox gave up on living just as it released on XBLA… but my game seems to have this strange graphical glitch!
Everything is a little see through. Like you can’t see the characters face fully when he’s turned/turning to you, and background objects appear in the foreground or through floors. See attached pic from the opening level (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197995063120/screenshot/506893103254630505?tab=public).

My specs are rated 5.9 on the Windows Experience Index; but my pc contains:
• Windows 7 Pro
• Intel Dual Core 2.4ghz
• 3 gb RAM
• ATI Radeon HD 5670 - 1gb Graphic Card

I updated my graphic card and DirectX drivers to no avail. :(

mrrockrock, you’re probably forcing MSAA in your gfx drivers. Turn that off (use application defaults/no overrides) and it’ll be fine.

Hello guys!
First of all i would like to say, that Stacking is really good game, very enjoyable, great music and idea.
Now, my problem.
At the beginning of game, Challenge 1 – Empty the Lounge.
Well, i think my photo will describe it better ^^
Suddenly, all the dolls turn black, i tried everything, turn off all the graphic options, change resolution, but nothing works.
Configuration:
PC
C2D e4300
2gb RAM
Graphic GeForce 7900GS 256 new drivers

Hi 481516,

A couple of questions: When the dolls go black, do they stay that way when you move around to different rooms, or is it a temporary glitch? Also, if you exit and restart the game, are the dolls still black or do they render correctly?

Your video card is technically just below minimum specs, but the bug you describe sounds more like a problem in Stacking, since it rendered the dolls correctly at first. We’ll see if we can repro the problem and fix it.

Thanks!

@David F.
Thanks for reply. Dolls are moving and i can interact with them, the problem is i don’t know how they look so it’s kinda painful during puzzles.
When i restart the game, dolls look normal, but after a short time they turn black again.

Thanks-A-STACK That was very helpful! Now I can venture forth into Df’s land of whimsy. HUZZAH!
