Super Meat Boy is a retro-style platformer developed by Team Meat and is known for its difficult gameplay.

Issues and Fixes

Crashing

If the game crashes on launch, right-click the game in your Steam Library, click on properties and then 'Set Launch options...', and type the following:

-windowed -<YOUR RESOLUTION> -lowdetail

or:

  • Navigate to your Steamapps folder.
  • Go to 'Common', and scroll down to 'super meat boy'.
  • Right click the game file and go to the compatibility tab.
  • Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select from the drop box "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
  • Check "Run this program as an administrator"
  • Click OK.

Command Line Options

    • Straight from programmer Tommy Refines himself:
  • The command line allows you to change detail, resolution, and windowed/fullscreen status. When setting multiple options they must be separated with a space.
    • Fullscreen / Windowed
  • -fullscreen Sets the game to run in full screen mode
  • -windowed Sets the game to run in windowed mode
    • Resolutions
  • -640x480 Sets the game to run at 640x480
  • -800x600 Sets the game to run at 800x600
  • -1024x768 Sets the game to run at 1024x768
  • -1280x720 Sets the game to run at 1280x720
  • -1920x1080 Sets the game to run at 1920x1080
  • These are the only supported resolutions from the command line.
    • Detail Settings. This will help address lag issues if you are experiencing them.
  • -ultralowdetail
  • Runs the game at the lowest detail, parallax is taken out, particle effects are ignored, animals are missing, set pieces are gone, lighting is ignored, images are lowest possible resolution (made for integrated graphics though not officially supported)
  • -lowdetail
  • Runs the game with with lowest resolution images, lighting is ignored, particle effects are ignored (use this if you are having lag on CHAD, Dr. Fetus, or levels where you die from moving platforms)
  • -meddetail
  • Runs the game with medium resolution images (mid range setting, run this if you are having slight lag)
  • -highdetail
  • Runs the game with highest resolution images (run this if you meet my minimum requirements listed above)
    • So lets say you wanted to run in fullscreen at the highest resolution at the highest detail, your command line would be:
  • -fullscreen -highdetail -1920x1080
  • lets say you were having laggy framerate issues, your command line would be:
  • -windowed -lowdetail -640x480
