TO CRYTEK - A petition to restore our lost unlocks!

Post » Wed Jun 01, 2011 8:06 pm

First off, this is NOT the issue where unlocks don't save; that can be fixed most of the time.
This thread is about the issue of:
1) Getting weapon/attachment/dogtag unlocks
2) Using them (or not using them), and then
3) The unlocks disappear, but the game thinks you've already spent them
4) The unlock is gone forever :O

The thing is, I'm level 50 and I'm missing:
A whopping 16 weapon unlocks - Becuase of this, when I use a custom class I can ONLY use the SCAR and the X43 Mike (the only one I managed to unlock)
5 Dog Tag unlocks - Just like the weapon unlocks, how on earth am I going to get these back!?
AND STRANGELY ENOUGH, even though I've unlocked all the suit modules, I still have FIVE SPARE Armour modules, and FIVE SPARE Stealth modules!

Also my multiplayer stats seem to be messed up, apparently I've only played for a total of 16 minutes and only played Instant Action and Team Instant Action... that's totally incorrect, I've played much longer than that and I've also played other game modes... now it looks like I'm a hacker or something ("Level 50 in only 16 minutes? He must be cheating!") when I'm not. And I know that stats are only tracked on ranked servers, most of my games are ranked anyway.

What I find most frustrating is that I can't do the Nanosuit Reboot anymore, which means there's no way I can level up and get the weapon unlocks again.

I paid for this game, and if I can't use all the weapons in multiplayer, I'm not getting the full product.

Crytek, please credit our accounts for the wrongly disappearing unlocks. I'm not bashing Crysis 2, in fact I think it's a great game and I applaud Crytek's effort. But it's bugs like these that make people annoyed.

Yeah, that's disgusting. I'm surprised they STILL haven't fixed that. A problem like this on a game with persistent character development is outright disgusting, in my opinion.

This is actually one of the main reasons I won't play this game. That, along with some pretty horrible networking issues, is destroying this game. I'm shocked to see that Crytek, out of all developers, has much, much worse networking in their game than CoD: Black Ops does (the previous iteration in the series lacked any dedicated server support). This is not only humiliating to the developer, but it is also a testament to how much of an amateur this developer is when it comes to making PC games.

Honestly, if they gave us a choice to have P2P connection on the PC right now, I would say yes in a heartbeat. Sure, there could be host advantages, but at least the bullet registration would work and at least everyone with a low enough ping wouldn't get this ridiculously huge advantage.

Losing unlocks and the sound loop problem was also in the PC demo a month ago. I just thought I should throw that out there.

I'm a level ~24, and I've lost a few of my primary and module unlocks due to my profiles not properly saving. I'd like a resolution to this too.

A potential fix to this that was posted is unlocking them while in a server. It seems they don't unlock properly if you do it from the main menu.
This would explain the issue if the person was a low rank, but getting to rank 50 without ranking up a module?
Plus, if he was having trouble unlocking the modules wouldn't that be indicated in his post?

I never saw an issue where play time not update.
From all the screenshots it is more convincing of hacker than server bug.

I have some issue about unlocking myself. But I figured it out before rank 50.

People like your are stupid. REMEMBER this is happening to a lot of people. So once something goes wrong you cant just say "OHHHH LOOK ITS A HACKER!"

This same thing happened to me the day of the patch. I played for 2 hours then in-game I notice my modules were ALL level 1. And I had Nano Recharge at level 2 800+ points so think of how I felt.

Anyway, now I am level 42 with a bunch of level 1 modules. Ive managed to get some back to level 2 though. PLUS all my stats reset as well. My game time reset...my k/d ratio reset....my total kills and deaths reset....all my ASSESSMENTS reset....

Weirdly enough I was able to keep ALL my unlocked weapons and weapon unlocks...So basically my whole service records and modules were the only ones to reset......but yeah this is unacceptable. Im level 42 with a game time of 02:30 which makes me looks like a straight up hacker.

Crytek this is unacceptable. Please fix your crap.

Yeah, level 40, with no kills, no deaths, no more module upgrades. Aside from the fact that they've reset my modules like Weapon Pro II at the 490/500 mark or something like that and I still went out of my way to get it from scratch, they reset my stats again WITH the patch. May be I shouldn't have even patched the game until a more stable patch came out, and may be that would've saved my modules.

If they're going to make people grind for module upgrades, don't make them lose them again and again.

The hilarious guy that says you'll get the upgrades real soon if you play for fun, why don't you try getting the Nano Recharge upgrades? I will bet God's balls that if you play 24/7 for 2 days straight you'll only be halfway there, may be not even. Hell, I'll extend it to 3 days, and you still won't get it. That 5h1t is nearly impossible, and will cause you many many deaths.

I'm not going to play a game that keeps resetting your crap over and over then asks you to get 500 kills or get hurt + survive 1000 times AGAIN.

May be I shouldn't have bought this game. Should have just pirated the game, modified all my upgrades and make them all level III instead of getting them the legit way. Then may be I wouldn't get pissed because I wouldn't have worked for them.

As for the other people that are having the same problem, get over it, just move on. They won't even have your stats on record, what makes you think they would restore them for you? Even if they claim they'd restore your stuff, what are they going to "restore"? Are they just going to go like fug this and unlock everything for you, even the stuff that you didn't have, simply because they had no idea what you had? Fat chance, get real people.

You either grind your 5h1t over again like a man, or you stop putting up to BS and become a REAL man. A real man takes 5h1t from no one, and this my friends, is GENUINE horse 5h1t.

I dare Crytek to make me eat my words and give us our stuff back. But I will bet with my soul they won't.

Great post X_Stream
Crytek is making it easier for the hackers and harder for the legitimate users.
I want my unlocks back otherwise I might also have to resort to joining the piraters who seem to be able to play the game without the same issues the legit users face
I support the companies but if they can't get their act together I have no choice

I don't know if you're just trolling or plain stupid... I hope it's not the latter.

I'm the one who posted the temporary fixes for match roll back issues to help the others in the official thread, you really think I wouldn't know how to save my customizations?

This isn't just a problem of match stats rollback, where just a few levels or kills are involved, this is a COMPLETE roll back caused by the patch.

Actually, there's a fine line between stupidity and being handicapped, I specifically said I was level 40 with 0 kills and 0 deaths, how can you not figure that out?

So in hope that you're just trolling, I'd like to say: please gtfo, troll.

The "potential" fix works if you do it BEFORE the problem occurs. As for my case it's too late, then.

I'm not going to stop at anything, I paid for those weapons so I want to be able to use them. Otherwise I'm gonna try and get a refund (unlikely!)

I think that's a problem of match stats rerolling, which isn't our issue right now. Your issue can be solved by making sure you leave a server after a match, seeing the "Updating whatever" notice, then you know your data has been uploaded to the database.

Our problem is having all our stats COMPLETELY wiped from the database, resulting in overall 0 kills, 0 deaths, basically 0 EVERYTHING.
How they can screw up their database and leaderboards, is completely beyond me. Don't they notice someone rising XSTREAMLY rapidly in the leaderboards (which usually denotes a hacker) or someone getting a sharp fall in the leaderboards (which is obviously our case)? I bet you they don't bother monitoring those at all since for weeks we have been seeing people on the top of the list with impossible KDRs such as 999999.

Not only does this destroy the whole point of the leaderboards, making your record such as KDR, which people like to brag about, completely meaningless... All that stuff in the trailers about showing off what you have just flies out the window.
By the way, before I was wiped, I had a 3.89 KDR, but I don't really have that high of a KDR, because I was doing pretty bad when I first played the game and the game just completely wipes my data, so when I got good it was as if my bad matches never even happened. I'd say my real KDR is around 2... But the system said 3.89 so oh well whatever. That was my first wipe.
Then comes the current, second wipe, and now I'm a 0 KDR noob again.
Like I said, stats don't means anything anymore.

So with that in mind, stats are completely useless to us, so who gives a flying fug? But I believe what we really want is our unlocks back, the stupid hideous module upgrades that we worked so hard for. I don't care if I never get my stats back, I'll build those up eventually if I play again. But if I'm not gettng my modules back, I'm not playing this ever again. God knows if I get my module upgrades again they'll get wiped YET ANOTHER TIME.

Seriously, is stat tracking that hard? Free to play FPS games have never had issues before, I mean come on, FREE TO PLAY, and this game was god damned expensive. In fact, as far as I know, there are no FPS games with such stat tracking problems.
If it was a stat wipe, then we won't be complaining since that applies to everyone, but this isn't happening to everyone, and we're the ones being treated unfairly.

This, my friends, is what you'd call an abomination of human kind. One that takes away 50-70 dollars from your pocket and wastes a lot of your time. You just got spoonfed some serious horse 5h1t.

By the way, I've also filed a complaint to EA, they've been telling me what they've been telling everyone else but I'll continuing asking them. I'll tell you guys what happens at the end, but I probably will never end up telling you because this is most likely going nowhere.

All we can do right now, is to tell all our friends to stay away from this mess save their 50-70 bucks. Unless they're your "friends" and you just hate them very much.
