MightyPeter Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 So my brother came home from London a few days ago, and he's been playing Gears 2 forever (1750/1750) and we played horde split-screen... As soon a we started, a sh*tload of achivements popped for me, and I've never played it online. Veteran gear clearly says that you need to play on all Snowblind maps, and I didn't even get to finish one game on any of them... Since I haven't been online in ages, I can't even recover my account to erase this crap, shouldn't something like this have been patched ages ago? This really pissed me off, I'm getting a 12 month gold in a few weeks and looked forward to grinding in both Gears 2 & 3, but now it kinda takes some of the fun away... / angry rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratdart Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 That is odd. But you will find little to no sympathy here as most people would kill for Veteran Gear to pop immediately. Unfortunately once you have achievements on a played game in your Game History it can never be deleted or modified. You would have to start a new account to get a fresh start.

MightyPeter Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Starting a new account is out of the question, got 100k+ GS and lots of XBLA & DLC on this account... This can't be an isolated incident, so other people must have the same problem? I guess I'll grind Gears 2 on my GF's account, but I'm afraid to play with her incase the same thing happens to her account... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyPeter Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 I haven't been online in god knows how long, that's why I don't want to just recover my account. I live pretty much outside the map, and have been using satellite internet that has pretty much 0.0001kb/s upload capabilities, but they finally built an adsl station here! I was soo stoked to finally get to play online, but I guess I'll have to go straight to Gears 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Dawg Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Actually a friend of mine had the exact same problem you have. We made the mistake of him signing onto my xbox just like what you did, and he unlocked 3 or 4 cheevos, (This was a while ago) and Xbox/M$/whoever erased all of his progress. Seriously 2.0, his level, and the other various cheevos that he hadn't completed. So he was pissed. Still good friends somehow though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyPeter Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Second Profile Glitch. You should be happy, you got Veteran Gear for free. Why the hell haven't they patched something as serious as this? It isn't really an achievement when I haven't "achieved" anything... So I guess playing split-screen with with my GF will do the same thing to her GT? She would probably try to kill me if anything like that happened to her She's really into co-op shooters, we've beat Gears 1&2 on Insane, Halo 1-3 on Legendary and both RB6 Vegas on Realistic...

Patch? You do realize that it's Epic Games, right? There's still shitty hit detection, insane host advantage, rank resets and other bullshit.

L1 SyCo L1 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) I figured this out on accident a while back. If the person in the second player position has the cheevos, it will unlock them for the first player. Unfortunately it seems to only work around the leveling cheevos and not the rest. On the flip side of the coin I found out that if you log into a second gamertag while the game is loading up it will erase all in game progress for player 1. I accidentally lost all progress 2 times by loading my wife into the game as we were loading the disc. I was glad that I could give my wife the veteran gear cheevo, just wish that I could have given her seriously 2.0 as well.

I R BFOG Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I always get issues like this when I sign in a 2nd account to boost cheevos in games splitscreen. Happened in Splinter cell conviction when all I wanted to do was run through game again on a different profile. Immediately 4 or 5 random cheevos popped up. WTF. Happened more recently in borderlands when I signed in my 2nd profile. The entire neds dlc cheevos popped for it, and i wasnt even playing the dlc! WTF. Makes me think twice about ever recovering my profile on another system! Oh and getting veteran gear for free? No way. Thats the last achievement I would ever want for free! Mile high club on the other hand... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBroly Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 This problem goes beyond Epic though. I've had it happen on multiple occasions in multiple games where achievements just pop up for the second account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt36 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 So...by loading a 2nd account to play co-op on one disc/xbox, you get random amounts of achievements pop for no reason? Thats poor coding, surely? And should be patched by Epic, like the OP asks. I could be wrong, but I'm just thinking logically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I'm guessing this is kinda how gamesavers/glitchers copy achievements. Oh and "Epic" and "logically" shouldn't be anywhere near each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt36 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 That maybe the case, but the logical way of thinking, when it comes to how to exploit the glitch, makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotrek Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Same happened to me and the mrs yesterday, heres a video for proof as i managed to film some of the achievements [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8sVkZynQwQ]Weird Gears Of War 2 Achievement Glitch - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyPeter Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Oh well, I guess split-screen with my GF is out of the question for now. This sucks though, imho this shouldn't be so hard to patch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh Phantomz Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Let me get this straight, is it only when the recovered profile playing second controller has the achievements that the first controller gets them? Does this still work if the first player has them and the second player doesn't? I have a friend coming over to hit up the gears 25xp with me and I don't just want to get them.

No, Ive had this happen just by signing in a 2nd profile to boost with in numerous games. Ive never recovered my profile on another system. This problem makes me loath to try it tho.
