The Weirdest Glitch I've Ever Seen In Deltarune

[@HalfBreadChaos]

FAQ Time! Q: Did you ever figure out what was up? A: Oceanbagel of the Underminer discord made an break down of the mechanics at play here (after the video had dropped) so I'm just gonna paste it all here: I'm watching it now and I do have an explanation for the room 412 thing. That room is not the legend on version 1.10, it's the dogcheck room. In chapter 1, your backup save is saved again upon reloading. This happens even if you load into the dogcheck room. So what happened was all the variables were initialized as they normally are before loading (which is mostly setting things to 0) and then the loading failed due to the corrupted save and then you're sent to the dogcheck room. Then the backup save is overwritten by all these initialized values plus the current room (the dogcheck room). So you would have needed to make a copy of the backup save file before reloading in order to use it. As for the save file, you should be comparing bytes rather than characters, since the idea is that the game first fills the file up with null bytes up to the correct size. 41,097 is within the range for number of bytes in a save file, which can vary based on the number of digits that happen to be in each flag. The difference that was unaccounted for in your calculations was that the line breaks are two bytes. So in your example, the number of bytes in the file would be 41,460 (counting the characters and spaces for 1 byte each and the line breaks for 2 bytes each). If the save file were null bytes then you would expect to get one line with the last column being the file size in bytes plus one because of how notepad counts columns. And that does seem to be what it looks like. Watching through the stream, it looks like their computer was really struggling with loads. The music not showing up indicates that the game wasn't able to load the music fast enough, and some of those room transitions were way slower than they should be. So I'd say it was either a performance issue or antivirus interfering with what the game wanted to do, and I think the save corruption itself happened during the save in card castle (the last save before the crash). Also this is mostly unrelated but has to do with the autosaves being re-saved when you load. In version 1.09, there was an issue where you could load into the next room past where you saved, and since autosaves are re-saved, you can repeatedly advance through rooms by repeatedly dying. So speedrunners routed it out like this: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/934180998734839838/985515490963247154/2022-06-12_07-58-34.mov Q: @0:02 Is that.... A: Yep, that's Super Mario RPG sound effects. Q: Wait did you *actually* go to the hospital over a CAT? How?!? A: I'm deathly allergic to many many things, and one of them is cat saliva. This is not typically an issue because typically the cats just kinda... lay there and let me pet them. But this was my first time giving Lynx catnip, so I did not expect him to claw me up so badly. Getting clawed when you're allergic to cat is functionally identical to being injected with cat allergens, and the more claws you get, the higher the dosage. Oops!! Q: Shouldn't you maybe not have cats then? A: Going into an allergy induce shock is not at all limited to cats for me, it can happen when I'm grocery shopping, when someone eats a candy bar and I walk too close to the garbage can... Unless I spend my entire life hiding in my room away from all potential allergens, there's always going to be danger. For me this is part of life. As for cats, now that I know it's an issue I can just wear gloves when I try to brush them or use cat nip.

[@tripletsborn]

...that first answer you gave seems really stupid. Not because I think it's wrong, but because I feel like Toby should know a little better than that even though he's probably not a master programmer. The hell is the point of a backup save if it gets overwritten upon loading?! That's fuckin plain stupid man.

[@joveaaron-real]

@@tripletsborn it may be possible that writing to the backup is on a separate function in the code, so if a glitch happens in a function that calls the function that writes to the backup and does other things, the backup gets overwritten.

[@tripletsborn]

@@joveaaron-real tl;dr Toby fucked up an if statement that is supposed to check for a condition before it writes the backup? That might be what happened, actually haha. He fucked up an if statement that creates the backup file when you start and load new save slot I bet.

My friend works with GMS2 a lot. I'm talking literally the only game making software he'll ever use, and we never had such glitch happening. I would guess that there was a write function that was cut off as the crash happened since saving files usually means to delete the old version and replace it. As for the crash, I have no idea. Game Maker just acts weird sometimes as I find it to be extremely finicky. Though the possible bit flip from cosmic radiation is possible and not uncommon.

The only detail I have to add is it looks to me like the game was in the process of editing the backup file as well when code execution stopped. The fact that some of the data changed though is what gets me, it wasn't just erasing lines, it was writing garbage data too (at least to where the room number is stored). I have no idea *what* exactly happened, it could be one of those once in a lifetime glitches that you can never replicate again, but the fact it's happened to multiple people suggests to me there's something they all have in common that we overlooked. The reason I think that there must be a common element that is the root cause, is that Earthbound had a similar mystery that got solved a few years ago with the discovery of the Overworld Status Suppression flag (henceforth referred to as OSS) and how other elements interact with that flag. To make a long story short, sometimes the game over screen wouldn't appear on death, and no one could figure out why, this was dubbed the Game Over glitch. As it turned out, the reason is that the players got into a scripted battle with the OSS on and lost, and OSS being on interferes with the game over screen and doesn't let it start properly. Random battles prevented this by turning OSS off as soon as the fight starts, and several textboxes throughout the game also turn it off, but scripted battles don't turn it off. The one thing every example of the Game Over glitch had in common is that players had encountered an event that turned OSS on (ex. arriving in the Dusty Dunes Desert for the first time), and skipped everything after that event that could turn OSS off. They then entered a scripted battle, lost, and the Game Over glitch occurred.

[@KiieLuka]

Actually, something similar happened to me during early ch1 days that I have never seen reported anywhere else. In the are after the maze in chapter 1, earlier versions had no colision in certain parts of the floor, allowing for us to go too much out of bounds. I was once playing with this (I must have been hitting walk for some good 40 minutes) until my game suddenly just closed. "No big deal" I thought, and started it again, but the game brought me to the first cutscene of the chapter as if I had never saved, which is weird since I was playing on the same save I completed the chapter a day before. Unfortunately, I could never recreate it. I tried walking infinitely again out of bounds, but I either got bored after the first 15 minutes or when I actually got to the time I was before it never occured again, and now newer versions have the colision right.

Fun fact, before I get buried in comments. Recently a guy named "Andrew Cunningham" got the community thinking about the narrator of Deltarune, and whether or not it's diegetic. But one thing people who go over this tend to overlook is an obscure text box on the no mercy route in Ch-#1 where the narrator says something to the effect of *"Hathey will never forget you and what you did"* or something similar But Susey then hears this and asks aloud "*In a good way?"* Then the narrator answers her question saying *"In a bad way"* While you could argue that this is just a joke, it is cannon, and if it isn't a only there for the joke, then it proves that the narrator absolutely is diegetic. Because Susey can talk with whoever is doing the narration, it means that she is probably comfortable in knowing the person speaking... Which also narrows down the narrator to Either Kris, or Ralsei, because they are the only non-Hathey(s) in the room. Another thing that I brought up during Andrew's live stream of reading comments, was the fact the narrator doesn't follow Susey during cut scenes. He said on stream that he thinks that because we have the option of telling her to go right or left in ch-#1 is the narrator, but wasn't sure. So I would like to clarify this, the options we choose aren't the narrator, both Noell and Susey hear our disembodied player-commands as Kris's voice, also he's the one who speaks after the Spamton fight and talks to Susey on the couch at his home. The narrator however isn't heard by most characters, mainly only Kris and the rare exception like Susey during this joke. So the Narrator, while it could be Kris as well, or like his internal thoughts talking or something, it could also be Ralsei, since they aren't narratively connected as of Chapter 2. Just thought I'd get that out of the way, and I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter... :)

We can make this even more cryptic by seeing how well we can connect this strange game malfunction to the actual lore of Deltarune :) A sudden loss of control over Kris and the game...I can think of a fun fan comic idea with this. In the time that the Player is gone, Kris gains freedom to do what they'd like for the week Player was deactivated. However, they are just as shook and confused as we are as we are trying to make it work again, so they just continue to keep to themselves and ask themselves repeatedly if this is all a dream. A soulless Kris wandering around with a heavy sense of derealism... ...or Kris just fuckin' keels over and dies, either way. What a spooky game error!

Very interesting glitch! I did some digging myself to try and find out what happened. but sadly couldn't find anything worth mentioning. There's no script that executes during that room transition which has anything to do with saving or overwriting save files, and neither does the transition object. My best guess is that Ephemera somehow managed to trigger the save point in front of the shop while the room was still loading, even though that seems impossible.. Yeah I got no clue. Toby sure knows how to make his code hard to read.

Something similar happened to me when I was trying to do Snowgrave for the first time. My computer had very little memory left when I died to Berdly but instead of going to the game over screen the game crashed. When I kept trying to load my save file it kept giving me the dog check. In the game the save looked fine with the name, time, location and everything where I last saved, but the save wouldn't load. What I believe happened for me was that my game was trying to update my save file for whatever reason but my computer didn't have enough memory to save it, so the save got corrupted. A similar thing happened with my first Hollow Knight save file as well and maybe Undertale. Let's just say I had a problem in the past with always having low memory. ^^'

[@turtlehub2731]

Hoi, here are my theories on the blank values: (For context, I am a programmer, but am unfamiliar with gamemaker, and the internal functions of undertale.) The blank numbers are called “null values,” they sometimes occur when a variable tries to assign itself to another variable of a different type (for example trying to make a number to a word). Usually, an error is thrown during this situation, which caused the game to crash. When the file somehow saved and the game reopened, it could have remained a null value. Toby likely did the dog screen when the game detected a null value on the save file. How the null value got there in the first place might have some of the variables originally had a different data type, but they changed the variable type to be more efficient. However, there might have been lines of code that toby forgot to delete. This is all speculation, just throwing ideas at the wall.

[@minuspi8372]

I'm a software engineer. Here's what I think happened. The last time Ephemera tried to save, somehow the mechanism that actually does the saving failed to access the game data, instead reading it as completely blank. Maybe something in the OS disallowed the read for some reason, maybe Ephemera's RAM is dying, I dunno, but that has to be what happened there. Because of this, everything was read as empty. Strings (lists of characters - names for example) became zero length, lists of digits became zero length, and numbers became zero. Had Ephemera loaded between their last save and the crash, the file would've already been corrupted, albeit not quite as badly. As for the new save file, I don't know what Game Maker uses under the hood, but if it's C, the following is plausible. There's a quirk in the C standard library (premade tools that are practically but not technically built into C) that can cause you to read the same character over and over again when reading from something like a hard drive if that character is unexpected. Between the bad save and the crash, the game must've decided to auto save at some point for whatever reason. When making the backup, it has to read the values from your old save file. The save file starts with your name, which in this case became blank. Because of this, the first character read from the save file might be a special character called NULL. Suffice to say, getting a NULL as the first character would be rather unexpected. If Game Maker's code is such that the value to write gets loaded from the old save, recorded in a variable declared outside the loop block (don't worry about it) and initialized as a space, then written from that variable to the save, all of which is entirely plausible (just trust me), then that could cause Game Maker to write infinite spaces to the file as fast as it could. You're probably gonna have to read that one again. If done correctly, this wouldn't interfere with gameplay for quite a while. It may have only created some real gameplay problem while Ephemera was walking through that room, triggering the problem on loading the next room. So in summary, the game data somehow became inaccessible to the save mechanism. Thus the mechanism wrote a save that is emptier than is supposed to be possible. When reading it again to try to do a backup, it might've found an unexpected character that might've triggered an obscure bug in Game Maker based on bad usage of the C standard library, which it may or may not use. Obviously this is entirely uncertain, but I think this is all plausible at the very least. Edit: Apparently GMS2 is built in C++, not C. I don't know C++ nearly as well as C so I don't know if it has a similar issue, but I think the idea of repeatedly reading and ignoring an unexpected character is still plausible.

1:05 THANK YOU SO MUCH, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO CODE DELTRAUNE FOR SO LONG!

[@ileonardoi3791]

3:50 Loved what you did there with the "w h a t"

[@sheepythebott]

This is like Noelle's story. But, darker...

[@wisherweed]

Interestingly enough, the page in the book Berdly reads at the beginning of chapter 2 is page 142.

The room he was sent to in the vid was 412

[@tortie1200]

i dunno why but save file corruptions or things like that really creeps me out, just the things that malfunction, music not working, a character having a glitched or unused asset, its just, scary like this one time in the binding of isaac, i had the classic three save files, one for me and for my brother and the empty one, when i finished a run, and left to the home menu, the music started glitching and playing 3 times at the same time in like, 0.2x speed? i checked the save files and they were good, when i reopened the game when closing it, i saw the three save files say corrupted data with crying isaac's head, man its just so unnerving... totally unrelated but it was worth it to type it here

[@ileonardoi3791]

Get well dude, these videos always are interesting, as you bring some the most obscure facts of this series into the light and the fact is more impressive considering you do so mostly by pure dedication, as you don't have that much knowledge of a lot of these subjects. Take care and don't overwork yourself!

[@Ravioli128]

I myself found a couple glitches while playing Deltarune. In the castle in chapter 2, if you open the menu as you're being burned by the paintings of Queen, the menu stays on screen, as you start controlling Kris rather than the menu. There's also another near the end of chapter 2 during that one encounter with Berdly in that room with the red floor that has Queen's face on it. After the scene plays out, I walked around and noticed that Susie was gone. She was still in the party, just invisible. I left the room, came back, and she reappeared. Edit: Sorry for the huge mountain of text-

[@thejester4130]

Cool video, this sorta reminds me when for some reason after booting deltarune to play chapter 2 the week it came out to play snowgrave my original file just disappeared and I had to get the backup to fix it

[@leopard_desk]

This will be interesting

[@mb_torpedo]

Ok, so, I have/had the original version of deltarune. I had 3 saves on it. ( 1) casual play thru. 2) full completion play thru. 3) play thru w/ friend.) after chapter 2 came out, I started playing both characters on the chapter 2 version for convenience (I was only playing my 2nd save slot to beat Jevil. I finally did in February!!!). At some point I decided to go check on the chapter 1 version of the game. When I booted up the save select screen, my 2nd save slot had the name and time, but not the room. It was blank(ish). I clicked on it and I got sent to the dog check room. I think cuz I saved in different spots on my chapter 2 version of the save, the original got confused and crashed. But who knows I’m not a coder :/

[@anonymizationoverload9831]

I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that the Chapter 1&2 version had a different SAVE file structure (or something of that effect) than the original SURVEY_PROGRAM? The game's undergone quite a few changes in 3 years, Toby tried a few gamemaking engines before coming back to GameMaker, there's new mechanics like the SPARE % meter, etc :0

[@mb_torpedo]

@@anonymizationoverload9831 nope. i've done pacifist on all of my saves. but that's a good point :)

Lavender town at the end

[@HalfBreadChaos]

Thanks. :D It was made by Noxide, who can be commissioned here: ko-fi.com/vgraymusic

[@fatalstupidanimator1410]

my mind was broken when i saw this glitch and halfbread man thing covering it

[@me.ga.]

5:06 I see what you did there.

[@owen3294]

So for a while my computer had the equivalent to cancer I fixed it but before I fixed it when I was playing deltarune or undertale the same thing happened except it happened most likely when I saved

[@norkasporsas1518]

Yes, more deltarune content!

[@Ephie_ink]

That was such a great video! I'm glad I could be a part of it! :-))

[@Bluefish11037]

I just found your channel yesterday and you’ve quickly become my favourite deltatuber!...deltarune KZbinr...deltarunetuber?! Anyways you probably understand what I’m trying to say :D

[@Unknow-sz7dj]

Lol I remembered the story because the same thing happened to me but I didn’t attach much importance to it except that I was offended, and it also happened on the Switch version. And I remember that there seemed to be something similar in Chapter 2, I just went through it on the switch and put it off until tomorrow, there were no patches, but when I tried to go to my save, the dog turned on,as I remember, I kind of stopped next to the robots that sell the bank after meeting the queen and the berdley statue

[@TH-jq1dt]

i think the reason it broke was because sometimes computers just randomly mess stuff up edit: either that or i heard there is like a 1 in a billion chance for like a particle or something from the sun to touch a gaming console and bug it out

[@leedlelel2373]

The sleeping dog is the new loading screen for the ps4 and switch versions

[@Neutronsully]

Game developer here. My theory is that this corruption might be because of a bitflip, which is unavoidable and usually doesn't do too much damage.

[@drawadog]

Loved the aura of this video, good work and hope you doing good with the cat thing

[@VelvetMVV]

This is my favorite Undertale Deltarune channel out there

[@conradmorcillofito5732]

3:15 idk Bread, Toby is an enigma within a puzzle.

[@gamerboygaming]

the toby fox meta game: is this mistake a mistake or is toby just messing with us. the answer is always unknown

[@SunShadow878]

Thank you for the advice. It is a very weird glitch. I've never encountered it yet and hope I won't, but still, it's better to know what to do. P.S. I love your editing style :) And get better soon!

[@darwinfromawog]

Hey halfbread, I only found your channel 2 days ago and let me say im impressed. Ive finished watching every video youve posted for now haha keep up the hard work.

[@Peter-xw2py]

The editing is great and the tts is very unique and I like it

[@charbbigonee]

can't wait for more hyperlink blocked 👍👍 i've never had any crazy bug things happen to me in deltarune, maybe it's because i don't play it enough or because i play the switch version...? anyways, tho... always excited for your vids, man keep up the great work and feel better soon ❤️

[@polphin2617]

That opening animation was the greatest thing I've seen today

[@SebastienLeBlanc-i4n]

Now that i had viewed the video a while back i closed my undertale save file and re-entered to the toby screen
