I was super-excited last night. I inserted the disc into my Wii U, booted up the game and watched the opening cinematic. Then the game prompted me to put a Land Vehicle on the Portal of Power, and...nothing. I kept removing and putting my Barrel Blaster onto the Portal, and one of two things happened: either the game would start to register the vehicle three times in a row before losing the signal, or it simply wouldn't register at all.

Eventually, I managed to get to the introductory video for the Barrel Blaster, but just before it finished, a message appeared saying "Your Vehicle may be corrupted." It seemed to stay on the screen for a moment, but then it disappeared again. I removed it and put it back, and...nothing. It seems that it's a problem with the Vehicle rather than the Portal. Needless to say I'll probably need to return it and get a fresh copy.

Try nuking your install and reinstalling. I had basically that exact same thing happen with my PS4 copy, although the game would eventually recognize non-variant figures and vehicles (but only in a couple of tiny spots on the portal). Whenever I attempted to use the Nitro Stealth Stinger, it would show the animation of it coming into the game then tell me it was corrupt and advise that I could either reset the vehicle or retry, neither of which worked. Upon killing the install and letting it reinstall, everything works again, 100%. Hope this helps and good luck!

sadly that my not work for him as the Wii U still reads of the disk unlike the PS4. So there is no install to delete.

I will also say the portal was been very problematic with me in terms of signal quality. It also seems to be very problematic when the game first boots, but may be XBO related.

What portal are you using? I have had no problems using the Traptanium portal on Wii U or PS4.

I used the new Portal of Power (the one from the Starter Pack). I swapped my old one over for a new one, so hopefully it works better.

It kept saying that for my crypt crusher and I had the portal on a desk and when I moved it to my bed then it started working. Try moving the portal.

I hope you didn't get rid of the Traptanium portal, as in, for good. The Superchargers portal will not work in Trap Team, most likely because of the lack of a speaker. Besides, it has been noted many times that the Traptanium portal works better than the Superchargers portal anyway.

It absolutely does, and it glows! The SC portal is. the. worst. ever.

Not to worry, I still have my Traptanium Portal. It's my favourite, so there's no chance of me parting with it anytime soon.

The Superchargers portal is the best....paperweight.

Seriously though, the Traptanium portal is infinitely better....hell, my Superchargers portal doesn't even get acknowledged as being plugged in on my X1. Note to self, when getting the Wii U version for DK be sure to get a used Wii U Traptanium portal too....
