That did not in any capacity warrant 3 paragraphs. They've stated that more achievements are being added. You are putting way too much thought into this.

That's just how I shake an' rattle, baby.

Were the textures for Stranger's Wrath and Munch slightly updated? After playing munch for a bit I swear it looks better but it could just be my mind playing tricks on me.

munch can only swim for 2 seconds or so, then he is only able to jump through the water. pretty annoying^^

I think the textures in Munch look much smoother and overall better. Can't say the same about Stranger though.

Andrelvis · #65 12-25-2010, 08:14 AM

I'm stuck with Munch in the sewers. There's a part which I need to jump, but Munch can't jump on land, and fast swimming and then jumping isn't getting me far enough to go through to the next part...

Any idea what exactly I have to do to make it work with my xbox controller?

Never Sleeper · #67 12-25-2010, 09:31 AM

Just try the programm XPadder. It works great with my no-name gamepad and you can select every key on your gamepad with it. So the game things your working with the keyboard but in realtime your using the gamepad. ; )

@LIJI: The Japanese Abe's Oddysee is very funny. I ripped some sounds from it a while ago

I personally use Pinnacle Game Profiler - it's similar to XPadder, but I personally prefer it.

OR you could just wait until they patch MO again to fix the controller issues.

I was very disappointed to be honest...I cannot play SW because whenever I try it either blackscreens, loops the logo screen constantly or lags really bad, and when I can get it to work the bounty action won't work, so I can't do anything in the game at all. :/

MO is mildly better. The controls are really awkward though, especially when moving. I've also noticed that Abe can walk sideways if he steps on a slope...That's just bad...The biggest issue I'm having with MO is the lack of sound or music. The only thing that will play is SOME of the gamespeak (Neither of the characters say "Get 'em!" which is kinda important when there are Vyykers hurtling towards you from all sides DX)

I haven't played AO or AE, I feel a little down about playing any of the Oddboxx anymore...I just hope they get this sorted. It's like they haven't tested the games at all!!!

No, it's like they haven't tested the games on every single kind of PC ever. As has been said (and will be repeated), it was just released. Give it time.

If you have a wired controller sans-battery box, just plug it in the USB port and start up the game. It works like a dream.

bigface1 · #73 12-25-2010, 11:36 PM

Ok on MO the framerate is very slow and brilliant in different places...... help?

AlexFili · #74 12-26-2010, 12:16 AM

"No, it's like they haven't tested the games on every single kind of PC ever. As has been said (and will be repeated), it was just released. Give it time."

I guess this is why free BETA trials work well. I'm torn between two opinions. One opinion being that any game that costs money should be relatively bug free (and definitely not crash), the other opinion being that run-time errors are really hard to discover and that we should wait for a patch.

If a patch isn't out by January. You have the permission to turn red and start saying "No" in a dull voice whenever someone asks you to do something.

Foxtrot Wolfwhistle · #75 12-26-2010, 03:18 AM

Lol, I know it's not possible to test EVERY kind of computer, but I'd consider mine to be fairly standard...It just feels like they've tested on the handful of machines in the office and gone, "Yeah it's fine". I mean, the majority of players are having the exact same problems. I'm not going to storm over with all guns blazing and demand a refund, I just hope they work a better testing process next time they release a game on PC. They're just lucky it's a decent pack of games in the first place! :P

And if you have a wireless 360 controller, you can buy the wireless adapter doodad for about Â£10 for the same result.

Wired over wireless anyday.

There is literally no difference between using a wired or wireless 360 controller.

Foxtrot Wolfwhistle · #79 12-26-2010, 03:43 PM

Longer range? No trip hazard? :B

Havoc · #80 12-26-2010, 04:03 PM

After playing just 5 minutes of MO I can really really clearly tell that this game is just meant to be played with a controller. Keyboard controls don't cut it on this one, I suspect the same with SW. Glad OWI kept the gamepad option in, so I can hook up my Xbox 360 controller sometime.

That's what I did... I'll have to try again I guess. Oh and just to make sure I'm talking about a wireless controller + recharge cable both from my Xbox, not the xbox controller for windows.

Yeah, that won't work. The cable that wireless controllers come with just charges them - no data travels through that cable.

You'll have to buy a wireless adapter, which is about Â£10-15.

Ok thanks for the info!

The awesome thing is that, while Stranger's Wrath only supports the 360 controller, Munch's Oddysee supports everything except the 360 controller. You'll have to use a third party program to get the 360 controller to work with Munch, as mentioned previously in this thread.

No, Stranger's Wrath doesn't only support the 360 controller, you just go to the Device manager, and disable anything that says game controller in "Human interface devices" or something like that. Then the keyboard should work.

Maybe this will take your mind off the OddBoxx for 1 second?

So this is actually deliberately off-topic?

I have a question: where can I buy the Oddbox?

***Wil*** · #89 12-28-2010, 06:35 AM

On Steam!

Crashpunk · #90 12-28-2010, 09:37 AM
