Super Meat Boy incl Update 1 RIP
─ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ─
Release Date : 02/12/2010 Protection : Steam
Release Type : RIP 31x5.00MB Company : Team Meat
─ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ─
Release Notes:
Super Meat Boy is a tough as nails platformer where you play as an
animated cube of meat who's trying to save his girlfriend (who happens
to be made of bandages) from an evil fetus in a jar wearing a tux.
Our meaty hero will leap from walls, over seas of buzz saws, through
crumbling caves and pools of old needles. Sacrificing his own well
being to save his damsel in distress. Super Meat Boy brings the old
school difficulty of classic NES titles like Mega Man 2, Ghost and
Goblins and Super Mario Bros. 2 (The Japanese one) and stream lines
them down to the essential no BS straight forward twitch reflex
platforming.
Ramping up in difficulty from hard to soul crushing SMB will drag Meat
boy though haunted hospitals, salt factories and even hell itself. And
if 300+ single player levels weren't enough SMB also throws in epic
boss fights, a level editor and tons of unlock able secrets, warp
zones and hidden characters.
Story mode, featuring over 300 levels spanning 5+ chapters
Play as a Head Crab! (Steam Exclusive)
33 legitimate Achievements
Warp zones that will warp you into other games
Over 16 unlockable able and playable characters from popular indie
titles such as, Minecraft, Bit.Trip, VVVVVV and Machinarium
Epic Boss fights
Full Level Editor and Level Portal (January 2011)
A story so moving you will cry yourself to sleep for the rest of your
life
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 1 information:
- CRASH ON STARTUP Several Users reported crashes on Startup. An early
version of the Steam Install Script got uploaded by me that didn't
fully run DirectX, also I'm not sure I had all the proper
prerequisites packed in the build. Either way, I have packed in
everything that should be needed for DX, as well as updated the
install script. Those who have already installed the game, I'm not
sure this will help you...but if you are experiencing crashes on load
after you have downloaded the update. Simply Click Here and run the
DirectX Web Installer.
- CRASHING DURING GAMPLAY AFTER ABOUT 3 LEVELS There was an error
where save games weren't saving, mainly because a folder was missing
in the installer, not sure why it got made on some builds and not
others, but it was the problem. This would cause grabbing bandage girl
to crash at random times as well as initial runs of the game to crash.
Those of you that had problems with the game starting even after the
install of DirectX, this could have been your problem. This issue has
been (As long as the update makes the folder) resolved.
- STUCK RESOLUTIONS / INVALID MONITOR INPUT Users would get stuck in
resolutions that their monitors would not display. Not sure what is
causing this because I look at what the monitor can display, but
either way I made a work around. Users can now force resolution and
window settings to get the game to a working state where they can
adjust them further. The commands are as follows:
-fullscreen force full screen mode
-windowed force windowed mode
-640x480 force 640 x 480 resolution
-800x600 force 800 x 600 resolution
-1024x768 force 1024 x 768 resolution
With windowed and fullscreen options, the game will default to the
last res that was tried, valid or no..so if you are having problems I
recommend following the steps below to fix it. (I'm sure the majority
of you know how to do this, but for those that don't see below).
Go to Library, then Right Click on Super Meat Boy and go to Properties
Click on Set Launch Options
Fill in the options starting with dashes and separated by spaces in
the text field
-NO BROWNIE OR DR FETUS BOSSES I'm a moron and forgot to upload the
boss files for Dr. Fetus and Brownie. Players would play their stages
and see no bosses. I uploaded them now, they are in.
-MENU CRASHES There were some menu bugs, mainly with the pause menu
and the character select menu in game. These have been fixed
PERFORMANCE ISSUES
We have scaled the textures best we can. There are 3 modes available
to the command line. The gamedoes a miniprofile thing that determines
what resolution and texture detail you should be running at...but
sometimes this can be wrong. To help adjust performance issues you
have 3 options:
-highdetail Highest detail
-meddetail Medium detail
-lowdetail Lowest detail
-lowdetail runs fine on a netbook. I have an Asus Aspire One. 1.6Ghz
Intel Atom, 1GB Ram, Integrated Intel GMA 950 inside. If I switch on
low detail, the game maintains a 50-60fps for most levels. It is very
playable with extremely small load times. My computer here, with an
NVidia 260, Q6600 Quad Core, 6GB Ram runs the game at like 400FPS
Un-VSynced. So that's basically you're range. Those are the two
computers I had available during development, so they represent high
end and low end.
Speaking of VSync, the game needs to be V Synced. I can't stress this
enough. If you are experiencing Cutscenes running fast, or Meatboy
freaking out while standing still, just switch on VSync and you'll be
fine. This is something we cannot fix since Graphics Drivers can
choose to ignore developer settings. I tried artifically limiting the
framerate today and honestly I didn't like how it looked. It wasn't as
smooth as VSynced (obviously) so...just VSync it.
If your game is running slow or you are having slow load times, just
do lowdetail and a lower resolution and you'll be fine. If my little
Aspire One running XP can do it, we can all do it:)
[Small update on Load Times]
Thinking about it, the Atom has hyperthreading. I'm betting people
with slow load times have single core non-hardward threaded
processors. I'll look into this.
RIPPED: SDK

Install Notes:
1. Unpack the release with WinRAR or equivalent
2. Install by running unl-smb1.exe
3. Start game with SuperMeatBoy.exe
4. Enjoy!
Additional Notes:
Even though they fixed a lot of bugs, it's still very bugged. They
updated almost all game content, that's why it's a complete
pack of the original release.
