Like most of you, I've been having issues with achievements not going thru. I have that nasty Meta bug, and recently I had the "Brutal Completionist" achievement of 29 wins, yet my Brutal counter was only at 18/25... and not going up.
So.. Pissed off, I quickly did a search on the interwebs, and searched thru Blizzard's forums. I found like 20 threads on it, mostly people being pissed and blizzard saying "Cant help you, we dont support achievements" that bullshit.. But out of those 20 threads, there was one guy who posted something along the lines of "Just reload your save mission and it counts it twice"..
I basically would have to redo the whole campaign from the start, in brutal, in order to get this achievement.. so I figured I would mess around with what this guy said, and see if anything good could come from it.
So I started a new campaign and beat the first level on brutal, saving it about 10 seconds before winning, and tried doing that afew times. Basically, as I suspected, nothing happened. It did reset my brutal counter back to 0 though, which is lame but least I know it was a "fresh" counter now.
In a desperate measure, I tried one last time. I loaded up a brutal mission from my main playthru that I saved halfway, it was Media blitz (not that it matters I dont think) and I beat the rest.. saving it 10 seconds before I won. After the game was over, I looked at the counter.. it said "1/25"... so I wasnt sure if that was from the previous mission, or this one I just did. Anyways, Making progress. Reloaded the ending again, and won. Looked at my counter again.. 2/25! I was freaking out that it actually worked.
Half hour later, after lots of load screens back to back.. My counter hit 25/25, giving me the achievement! I am still in shock that it worked. Now I just need that Lost Viking 500K and blizzard to fix the meta bugs and I have 100% (Im up to 3000 achv pts overall)
Im not promising it'll work for you, because im not sure how it works/what triggered it to work for me.. but mess around with it if you are having the bug which isnt counting your current wins.. You might just get lucky like me and abuse blizzard's system back at them.

Want to post save files for those of us who didn't save 10s from the end of every level?
|
Lazy much, eshlow? Also, not every level; my understanding of what he wrote is that he reloaded the same file repeatedly.
|
yep, same file repeatedly.

Oh, haha.. guess I read that wrong.
I guess I'll go do that later

Where can i downloaded this save games?
Pls help me, i not found
|
do it yourself, just pick one brutal level and beat it, and save it at the very end.
|
So you just have to finish 1 level and repeatedly beat the last 10 seconds to get the entire achievement? Man that's something to be proud of!
|
well considering I already beat all 29 levels in brutal for the "Completionist" achievement, but my 5/10/15/20 one was bugged; I think it is something to be proud of, rather than trying to start a new game, do it all over again for the off chance it might get bugged again.

My counter was bugged as well. Heck, the number of my Brutal XX achievement was even reduced when I reinstalled the game to have an EU english client.
What I did because worked for my first playthrough on Hard - just finish the game with All-In. I made sure I had all other missions on Brutal (replaying missions in the archive worked, too; while being online, so I sure would get the credit for it) before doing All In on Brutal.
As soon as I reached the score screen of All In, I was spammed with achievements, including Brutal 25.
tl;dr: Make sure you have every mission on Brutal (archive!), then do All In on Brutal.

This fix worked for me, thank you =)
I loaded up an old Maw of the Void game and followed the instructions, counter progressed perfectly.
|
i finished a level on HARD difficulty and i went from 16/25 to 25/25. it's just messed up.

This is what worked for me too.

Have you had any luck fixing the meta achievement bug? In a couple cases I've gotten all the achievements from a section of missions but a bunch aren't counting when you click the meta
example from my profile: colonist missions meta (the rebellion and artifact ones aren't working either)
I'll try your technique though, wouldn't you know my hard xx achievements are bugged too =P
|
I'm glad my brutality didn't mess up.
|
wait does using someone elses save files actually work?
|
I tried what you said and nothing happened, not even the counter reset. Damn.

I wish man. I have about 100 pts tied up in the meta achievement bugs =/ Including one of the Combat ones that I have one more thing to complete, then its gonna give me the meta bug again.
Which really sucks, cause I am trying to get as much achievement points as possible.. im almost at 3500 right now, but that 100 extra would really help for putting me closer to 4000.
If you find a way, lemme know.

+1, worked perfectly. I actually also used Maw of the Void because it was fast to make a save (from an old one a couple of minutes from the end) with a dozen yamatos charging up against the artifact thingy 
I was actually considering replaying the whole thing on Brutal just to unlock this, so you basically saved a day of my life!

A similar method can be used to get all of the Armory upgrade achievements as well; just make a save file when you have a ton of credits (500K or so) and purchase the upgrades towards an achievement, play a mission to 'save' the upgrade towards your achievement, then reload your previous save to get all of your money back.
