Protagonist. Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 This is not related to the earlier achievement problems when the achievements were not uploaded to the XBL servers. This is specific to the Rocketman achievement. If it is working properly, the game will display "X/15 Rockets Destroyed" in the lower right corner of the screen, after you destroy each new rocket. So it will display "1/15 Rockets Destroyed" and then "2/15 Rockets Destroyed" etc. NOTE: You must finish the level in order to save this progress. If you quit the level, you will have to re-do those rockets and the game's counter will reflect that. The achievement will pop as soon as you hit 15/15 Rockets Destroyed. You do not have to finish the level before the achievement unlocks. If it is glitched, you will notice that as you shoot the rockets, the game will not display the Rocket count in the lower right corner of the screen. Therefore you will not be able to earn the achievement, and there is currently no known workaround. Help me verify these findings. Is there anyone that has earned the achievement without the count displaying? My own data is as follows. I played through on my main profile which has played Toy Soldiers before, and no count was displayed, achievement glitched. (I did not play the DLC until Xbox.com was updated with the achievements, so that probably didn't affect this). Then I played through on a different profile, which has not played Toy Soldiers before, and the count displayed and achievement unlocked. It is likely that the glitching of this achievement is random, but maybe there are some commonalities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFifthEssence Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I am in the exact same predicament as you. I waited to get the DLC until the achievements were on xbox.com, but I never saw a counter when I was shooting the rockets, and of course, no achievement. Maybe deleting ALL Toy Soldiers data, the original game included, will mimic what your other profile got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot the first rocket and no count display -_- Did the same thing you did with the different profile and it works for that one (it showed the count display) but it didn't for my main profile. I have a feeling it has something to do with Campaign+ but I doubt it Im just guessing here. I really hope Signal Studios fixes this but seeing that your still able to get it I dont think they will pay much attention to it, all we can do now is wait and see....

Actually I don't think we are still able to get it. Based on the data so far: if no rocket count displays, then the achievement is glitched and impossible to earn. We would need a patch (title update) before any of us could unlock the achievement. If everyone could e-mail/twitter/etc., Signal Studios with a link to this thread, that would be great.

akute Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 This is a bummer... really would like to finish this. Tried all methods of playing levels... not really spent a lot of time with the order (some people have been claiming to get this early through glitch). But it is definitely glitched, unless there are more than 5 rockets per level. Since it doesn't pop up like cube or even UFO progress, I'm pretty much sold on glitch/golden rocket progress not programmed correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFifthEssence Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I did get a response back from a message I had sent earlier. It reads: "We appreciate your support and apologize for any issues you are having. We do have other players bringing this issue up and are definitely looking into it. No matter what the bug ends up being, there will be an update as soon as possible with a fix or steps to fix. Thanks again and we appreciate you reporting the problem." So I hope this means that it will actually get fixed. At least it is nice that the developer is admitting there is a problem. I remember how Terminal Reality did not even admit there were issues with Ghostbusters for the longest time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for confirming that it is impossible to earn if the count does not display. This will at least save people wasted time until a patch is released. If the count doesn't display after you shoot the first rocket, then there is no point in taking out the rockets, because none of them are counting towards the total.

I remember how Terminal Reality did not even admit there were issues with Ghostbusters for the longest time. You are right, that is a refreshingly honest answer. Nice of them to be so proactive about it. Still, the more data we provide them with, the better. Hence why I created this thread; both to gather information, and to warn people about this glitch so they do not waste their time shooting rockets over and over.

Bastado Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thank god! I was soo happy to see the above post, now I feel better knowing that signal studios is aware of the problem. I've tried every way to unlock rocket man, including re dl'ing the dlc and game, recovering profile and clearing cache. And I've done the requirements at least 5 different times, glad to know I don't have to waste my time anymore looking for a work around. Also the first time I tried to unlock this cheevo with a alternate profile, the counter came up first try. Lame. And pre update to xbox.com I unlocked rocketman on my main profile after 2/15 had been destroyed. Needless to say, this achievement sucks, for the glitchy reasons of course.

Thorware Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Same problem here. However, I could have sworn I got 1/15 for the first rocket, but subsequent rockets just gave me $300 with no counter. Some data to perhaps help us figure it out: I think I killed my first UFO for 1/40 after my first rocket of 1/15, so maybe starting two counters in the same level is what glitches the achievement? When I noticed my rockets were glitched, I did not finish the map, I restarted it from the pause menu. On the next load, I was getting no counters on any rockets. Then before the level ended I quit to the xbox dashboard via the guide, started the game back up and loaded the level again. Still no counter for any of the golden rockets. I then completed the level for the first time and began the second level, and again there was no counter when destroying a rocket. I downloaded the invasion DLC a few days ago and just played it for the first time so it's not due to being in a weird state from a long time ago. I had all other achievements unlocked before beginning Invasion, including Campaign+ and Kaiser's Battle achievements. Perhaps something achieved in the previous content glitches Invasion? I've only destroyed 2/24 gold boxes from the original game and only unlocked an elite medal on the first level. Could these be related? I also had a weird state where I downloaded Kaiser's Battle and Invasion one after the other, but I was not seeing an "Invasion!" option in the "Play Toy Soldiers" menu. Re-downloading the DLC fixed that issue so the "Invasion!" option appeared properly. Could this be related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludachristofski Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Has anyone heard any news regarding the patch / update to remedy this glitch? I love playing this game a lot, and would like to get the achievement since it's pretty simple, but I don't want to forfeit everything I've unlocked. The ration tickets in campaign+ are tricky, particularly having to beat the whole level with the biplane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunburnedslayer Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 mines the opposite. i destroyed one and got the achievement. its good that i don't have the bad glitch but it kinda killed the whole collecting side of 'Invasion!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkmoon333 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 So here we are nearly a year later and there is still no patch or fix for is glitch. Nice to see Signal Games are on top of things. A shame too because up until this glitch I really enjoyed TS. Just so people don't think that this glitch only effects those who bought the expansion when it first came out, I got it a month ago and it didn't work for me either. I don't know if it's connected at all but even after I picked up the UFO achievement I still get the counter whenever I shoot them down with the mustang. Does anyone know a work around?

smorpheus Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Man, you really got to read a thread before posting it. The workaround is a few posts up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
