Just played with friend over LAN using Tunngle, The host players if fine but the Client... every time after bot are dead and choosing new heroes it bugs. For the client it shows wrong lvl and dmg than it should. Starts at lvl 4 but the dmg stays the original. After getting more lvls the lvl counter goes up but dmg stays the same. We have to rehost and rejoin everytime.

Alright, I'll take a look at that!

More feedback: I've since beat the game, and I have to say I was disappointed by the later levels. The final level is a nice boss fight, but I wanted the later levels to do something new and interesting, and they didn't really. I beat the game with an Agile character, which I still think is far too OP, and makes the game too easy. There are also some powers that are far too strong, taking out bosses with one or two hits. In general, I think the game suffers from replenishing your resources too fast. The fact that your attacks recharge every level means that you don't really think about whether you want to conserve them between levels, and recharge shrines are not as important as a result. You also get way too many health spawns. In general, I found the game far too easy, and a lot of that was because of the Agile trait.

I don't know if I'll play NG+ more than the 2 times I already have. So far, the game hasn't had the pull on me to keep playing.

All in all, it was fun while it lasted, but I feel that balance issues and gradually decreasing difficulty prevented it from being the rogue-like-like I was looking for. I had a very similar experience with Rogue Legacy. Spelunky, BoI and FTL sit uncontested IMHO.

My game starts, and I can hear music, but the screen is black and I can't do anything. If I mash buttons on my gamepad I can hear the game responding, but there's no visuals except for the mouse pointer. I've uninstalled twice and re-installed to no avail.

The level 11 bug wherein the game crashes also takes place with ranged weapons (or at least the blunderbuss) It seems to be a matter of timing rather than 'striking the crystal' and isn't reliably reproducible. Having said that, I've crashed it like five times now. The game can't be closed via the toolbar but needs to have Task Manager opened or it shows every indication of closing, except the battle music will play perpetually (and the game will continue to use system resources)

Hey, there's this huge error a friend and I get when trying to start a local multiplayer game. We're playing over a LAN connection and we've both got Windows 8 computers with the latest directx updates. It only happens when trying to join a game, the game crashes and an error report shows up with the message:

Now I've tried everything I can think of to get this to run, every possible fix I could find and nothing works. I'm not sure if this is a common problem, but it's really bothersome.

Ok I'm noticing 2 major bugs with Vertical Drop Heroes HD: I'm not hearing any music at all and the game crashes when I try to exit. Is there a way to fix this problems? I'm using Windows 7.

I've noticed when the game is in a window and the user clicks the Maximize button, it crashes the game and throws an error message. Here is a screenshot:

It looks like the "Halloween" update is what is causing the music and game-exit crashing problems. Is there a way to tell the game to permanently disable the Halloween part on startup?

hi,
the game worked before the halloween update. now it crashes all the time (at launch)

Yeah, I'm really hoping they will either re-release the previous version, or have an "after-Halloween" version that isn't buggy like this current version. I still not have no way to play the game until the bugs are fixed. :(

Hello,

Just bought the game and the game crashes on startup as noted above. I get a window with the logo and one sound (like a drum beat) then the game crashes and I get the Apple bug report thing.

I have a Macbook late 2009 running mavericks.

Has there been any update about the buggy Halloween version?

I have also been experiencing the crashing problem on startup under OS X 10.10.1. Fortunately, I think I may have found a workaround:

Go to the Vertical Drop Heroes HD.app, right click on the icon and select "Show Package Contents". From there, navigate to /Contents/MacOS/ and double click on the file "GOGLauncher". This will open a Terminal window from which the game will be launched. This method of launching seems to work every time with no crashes (so far, fingers crossed).

Maybe this will work for others having this crashing issue.

Unfortunately that doesn't help those who aren't using a Mac version. I actually had to contact Support and ask them to send me a previous version, since the Halloween version has so many bugs. I really wish the dev would fix it.
