About Me


Hello-hello Destructoid! I'm your friendly blogger-next-door, Evan, but you're all welcome to call me EarthbounderNess. Actually, I lied about the friendly part, I don't like any of you. In fact, I loathe all of you so much, I'm not next door either, I'm inside your house, in your kitchen, eating all of your food that doesn't suck.

I'm a 23 year old, double jobbin drone, totally livin the "sweet life". I have an unhealthy obsession with dressing up on days other than Halloween about once every other month. See below?


Cliche as it is, I'm a man of many faces.

Cosplay is a huge love of mine, right alongside video games. You can call me names because of it if you want, just don't throw anything at my head, I need to protect my beautiful face.

Really though I just hope you all enjoy what little bits of crap I shell out here. If you don't enjoy any of it, then drop me a PM saying how much you hate me and how I need to go eat paint chips, I won't take too much offense. Promise.

Castle Crashers Co-Op Copiously Crashes Connections
EarthbounderNess | 12:42 AM on 08.28.2008 16 comments




For those of us who eagerly download Castle Crashers upon release yesterday, I'm sure out of the lot there were a quite a few of us that experience the connection bugs. Now I'm not knocking the guys over at The Behemoth, they dished out an amazingly fun game that many people are now enjoying. However I am a bit crushed at the fact that I'm not able to play online for more than a minute or less without getting booted off.

Just to reiterate once more, most connection problems with Castle Crashers seem to be online bugs. So before you try and reconfigure your router (like me) for the 30th time, just hold off for now. To my understanding the issue has been addressed and is being worked on at this moment.

If you head over to http://castlecrashers.com/, you'll notice that you can't even enter the site now due to the web traffic being so high. The following message is displayed at the bottom of the site:

"Website is getting slammed. Working on resoloving the issue. Thanks!"

So for myself and other players forced to play by their lonesome if they have no friends living near them or are too poor to buy more than one controller, lets all sit back, level up, and then maul our teammates with uber-leveled powerhouses in the battle for the princesses when the connections are finally fixed.

Best of luck to The Behemoth team on fixing the issue. Sorry to see your guys' site get so hammered because of this.

You win ten points for the post's title alone.

Yeah. Right now you can play for a solid fifteen or twenty minutes with two people. More than that is stretching it though. Hopefully they'll have it up to full strength by the weekend.

I can think of some other C-words that came to mind last night while trying to play.

Nonetheless, this is going to be one kick ass game when they finally get it working.

We had some connection issues and enough drops to get us to stop playing.

What baffles me about this disconnection issue, is the long developement time this game went through.

I've found that, annoying as this may be, when it's only two people putting both in private chat can help. When it's four people putting two people each into their own private chat sessions helps minimize lag/drop outs. Also shutting the fuck up can help stop the lag.

Or we could wait patiently for a patch.

Oh, it pisses me off too.

Could it be possible that Microsoft rushed them to put it out due to it being their Summer of Games? Given the size of the game and the size of the team that made it, I think it might be possible that the game wasn't 100% ready. Anyone else getting save errors?

No saving issues here, just the constant inability to stay connected to anyone long enough to complete a stage. I love the game, but seriously trying to beat the first lvl and having your friend DC at the Barb boss 12 times in a row can get a little frustrating.

When trying with D-Toider, I've been doing pretty well, mostly.

Other than that, I've had a blast alternately leveling my characters in solo, and progressing through with spurts of co-op here and there. I've beaten it with the red knight, and will be starting up with my unlocked character today!

Fun game, but its too bad about the general connectivity problems.
