Castle Crashers Patch Headed Your Way

by on

Less than four hours remain until Castle Crashers finally gets fixed. Unless you're reading this later, in which case... uh... I don't know.

I call ice dude!
I call ice dude!
Hooray for title updates! I caught this link to The Behemoth's forums on Destructoid tonight, and it sounds like the long-awaited fix to Castle Crashers has finally gone through and will be out in a matter of hours.

The exact time, for those of you trying to synchronize your watches, is 2AM Pacific Standard Time on 12/24. That's under four hours away from the time I'm writing this. Insane!

I really wanted to play Castle Crashers, but once it started erasing my progress every time I moved my hard drive from one system to another, I sort of lost my taste for it. A lot's changed between then and now, and I'm still left wondering if I'll ever be able to love again.

Perhaps I'll finally find out tomorrow. Oh, and the patch will be out then, too. Wait, what were we talking about?

You are seriously going to bump a two years old thread because for some reason you think Jeff is the guy you need to talk to in order to solve your technical issues?

I'm so glad this patch finally came out. I've been waiting for two years. I hope it adds Kinect support.

I like how he created an account to ask this question, but yeah dude if you have lost your save you will probably have to start again.

@Samurai: Dude, that patch is over 2 years old.  If you've lost your game save, you'll probably just have to start a new game. A bummer, but that game isn't very long anyways

The Behemoth are a team of about eight people. That means they have pretty much unlimited creative freedom, but also that if something goes wrong, it will take a long time to fix. Just deal with it.

I was about level 30 when my Elite got RROD.  I sent it into MS and they fixed it and send the same console back.  Serial numbers match but MS updates the Console ID which means you need to download your XBLA games again.

Well it also means if you played Castle Crashers you lost all your progress.  I wasnt too happy to find this out and instead of replaying to get my progress back I said screw it and I just wont play anymore.  Which means any future paid DLC I would have bought will also now be ignored. 

How could something so basic be broken and how could it take months to patch it?"

I got really excited to play with my friends when we first got it. The coop was always broken so we were really happy to hear about the patch. Then we used it and the coop is still broken. Guess it didn't work too well. We eventually got to play together by connecting to someone else's server and inviting eachother. Sadly, we had a good half second of lag between button presses. (if not a full second at times) Guess we're gonna have to wait until Title Update 2.

I said I woulnd't play it until a patch came out and then a couple days ago, I get a message on my Xbox from Dan Paladin telling me there finally is a patch; just in time for CHRISTMAS! So I've finally gotten the game and it is magical. The music is love-worthy and the graphics are sublime. Get it if you haven't already and also buy BRAID. This and Braid are on top of the Arcade games list.

I got this game shortly after it was released but after hearing about the save file problem, and then experiencing it, I decided to wait for the update.  Months went by and I forgot about it while playing other games. I guess I can finally play this game, been looking forward to it for too long now.

Me and my friends actually just had a marathon session of Castle Crashers. I was just like 'why not try this game instead of playing COD or something' and they all loved it so much that we were up until 5 in the morning beating the game. Now they are all going to buy it and coop will work fine hopefully!
