Amazing game, wish it were longer, BUT here in 2014 (ahem, 5 1/2 years after the beginning of this thread and a supposed patch), I got the stuck puzzle piece glitch. Unfortunately I didn’t realize it for what it was (on level 1), and have completed every level (except the last, obviously, since I can’t complete that puzzle). Now I guess I need to redo *everything*, and I’ve gotta say, I’m slightly less sympathetic when it’s been a known issue for so long…

I started playing this game recently (quite late i know) and seriously, it’s an epic and incredible game. At first, i thought getting some of the puzzle pieces was impossible but i got em with time. Boy, do i feel so damn proud of myself. I’m missing two pieces still that are in 2nd door of world 2 at the end. Well, i’ll figure that out somehow 🙂 . This is a game worth it and i would never even think of using a walkthrough or anything similar. Truly an awesome game. I watched Indie Game:The movie and that is where i came to know of it. If i can’t figure out how to take a puzzle piece, it stays on my mind the entire day, while i’m eating, while i’m going to sleep, even while i’m talking to my girl. Braid is just way too good 🙂

Hello first off let me say terrific and intelligent piece of work here,but i as i assume many of you have,encountered the bug that doesnt recognize demo from full game and sometimes does not allow your save game to appear. One way to fix this is to go to the start menu when the game loads up and enter the Achievements page then back out, usually it clears the Unlock Full Game option from the menu and when i re-enter play it is at my saved game.

I got the stuck puzzle piece glitch, it’s on the first world, so i can easily restart the game once I beat it for the achievement, but I think it was because I rewinded past getting a puzzle piece after I had activated the puzzle board thing.

Jonathan Blow: Great game, I’d love to finish it, but I’ve hit both bugs and I’m now stuck on World 3 with a messed up puzzle board. Just as previous posters said, you rewind REALLY far to before you go that piece, then go forward. It’s pretty easy to repro. Any updates coming soon?

Hmm, I seemed to have encounter the sticking pieces bug. The weird part is that I did not put the pieces together and then rewind. I am trying to beat this game and I keep running into glitches. The first time, I completed world 2 and 3 completely, and then the next world would not open. Now, after restarting, I just finished the 3 world only to find some of the pieces missing. I did not even go into the puzzle that is in the world, I always just get the pieces and then solve it at the main menu world. Except world 2 where you have to use the pieces.

I got the 2nd bug which is horrible! I occurs when you stick puzzle pieces together then go back in time and pick up a puzzle piece you already collected. It looks like i’m going to have to start over…all progress gone, hope it will be as fun the second time around.

You can solve the problem using the Microsoft License Migration Tool discussed earlier in the thread:

Hi, what is the status on fixes for the main bug discussed here? I have the issue where I learned of braid through the Trial version and then was very happy to purchase. However, I gave up playing because it always thinks I am playing the trial and NEVER finds my saved progress file for Braid, even though I see it on my hard drive under the XBOX System Memory for Braid.
Is there a fix for this and that is why the thread drops off in December 2009?

I wonder if this issue will ever be fixed, I absolutely adore Braid, I’ve been wanting to beat it again but I can’t save my progress, so I haven’t been able to play it as much as I’d like and that seriously sucks.
