For some reason for this challenge, you do not need to use the special key, simply double jumping will trigger the rocket jump.

Yeah, I know that Rocket Man's rocket jump is triggered by performing a double jump (like the Ninja). Alas, the little bugger doesn't work for me.

I wouldn't usually post... but I'm having the same problem. I'm lucky if I even get to 10 seconds because the double jump just wont activate when I want it to. It works some times, but fails far more often than not.

This happens to me even in the regular game, on every stage bar the first. I absolutely love this game, but this is getting really quite irritating now.

Edit: I've managed to beat the challenge, but I had to switch to Keyboard controls. It took some getting used to, but the double jump worked every time.

If you haven't beat it yet, it's a fun one. ;)

Man, congratulations on beating it.

I've tried again, this time with keyboard controls, but the same happens. Rocket man can't double jump[en.wikipedia.org] during the challenge, can do during normal gameplay.

Edit: Correction, I can double jump reliably in Troublesome Tech and ????, but not the others (either very rarely or never at all).

As per Sexy Shadow™'s suggestion (at here), I tried verifying the integrity of the game cache, as well as deleting the local content and reinstalling.

Neither of those measures worked.

Edit: Mmm, I should try on other computers...

Phew, I finally made it and got the achievement.

It was my computer acting all along. I tried playing the game on a friend's laptop (Windows 8.1, 64 bits) and I could double jump and, dozens of deaths later, I nabbed the achievement.

I still need to figure out why was my computer the culprit (Windows 7, 64 bits) but I can rule out issues with the XBOX 360 controller's drivers, given that using the keyboard gave me the same result.

It's good to hear you've finally got it. Most would have given up after a month, so you deserve it.

Congrats. ;)

tl;dr vers - character functions requiring jump break on pad on War of the Woods, just purchased this game and I don't want to get rid of it but I might if I can't solve this. Edit : as of now my keyboard isn't working correctly either. I'm just so frustrated. I've literally turned my pc inside out for this one game, and I just can't.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but looking through this is the only one I found talking about it, and I didn't want to make a new one.

This bug started happening to me on War of The Woods, on my 360 pad Rocket Man no longer double jumped. I tried keyboard and he did it just fine, no issues. I started mashing jump on the controller and sure enough, the double jump would come out if I pressed often enough, but that left me with an unreliable jump. Even my generic controller is having the same problem.

Ninja, however, could now triple jump. Troublesome Tech functions as normal, but Ninja becomes Super Ninja apparently in wooded environments. On keyboard, too, Ninja flips out like a boss.

Surpisingly, when I installed it on my Surface 3, everything worked fine. Even the weird triple jump is gone.

Here's where it gets even stranger - I tried uninstalling it from my Surface and streamed it from my desktop - and it worked fine. I even tried streaming it via desktop AND had the 360 pad connected to the desktop - and it still worked fine!

I've reinstalled the drivers, the game, Microsoft .NET framework, verified cache - I even deliberatly deleted the input dll's for the game and verified cache just to get it to redownload them, nothing works. The Surface is not an ideal solution, as I'd have 2 devices eating power. I've tried comparing the files, but literally the only difference I found were .NET Framework language packs - even copying those did nothing, but prompt an update for security issues, which of course still did not fix the problem. I'm at a complete loss, guys. What do?

Welp. Just couldn't fix it, so I got a refund. I really wanted to play it but I can't enjoy a game that doesn't work for me. Good luck to any who have this problem in the future - perhaps you won't have this problem.

This is absolutely bugged. I had the same issue -- however it didn't matter if I was playing with a keyboard or a gamepad. Sometimes the double jump would register, while others it would not. In desperation, I ended up toggling Fullscreen ON (I was playing in Windowed Mode) and the double jump works with Rocket Man every single time, regardless of which input device I'm using. Yes, even in the Hero Challenge.

Weird. At least you got it working, kind of!

The fullscreen toggle is what fixed it for me as well. I was about to drop that knowledge up in here hard as hell but someone beat me to it. Very odd bug and will likely never be fixed.

I repurchased it when it was on wake again because it's just too fun. The Fullscreen toggle doesn't fix it for me, so I just play it exclusively on my surface instead of my gaming pc.
