Yeah, I've lost 200 one reload and 1200 (all that I had at the time) on another. It's bad enough that I don't really want to continue my single player until they fix it. This only seems to happen to me, however, when I quit to desktop and restart. This gets really bad when the "no melee" bug happens and you're forced to quit the game and reload...

I've had the same problem. I've lost 300. And now I can't collect any. So I'm debating whether to run cheat engine just to fix the problem.

Ok I think this is the thread that the forum mod was talking about.... so yeah I have this issue and my setup is...

Crysis 2 retail copy limited edition
i7 920
460gtx Sli
4gig ram
Asus P6X58D-E Motherboard

I beat the campaign once on normal without ever encountering this bug. Then I selected replay mission, and then I reloaded a checkpoint after that. That is when I got this bug. This bug also locked out all the suit functions that I already purchased, but wasn't equipped during the checkpoint save. So now I can only use the base suit functions and the ones I had selected.

Yep, I get the same... how the hell are you supposed to progress without the xp? I will get to the end without having any of the perks.

I'm having the same problem which began on the semper fi mission. I started it up and lost all my previous nano catalyst and cannot pick up any more. I am on my first playthrough and I am on the veteran difficulty. I did play multiplayer for a while for the first time last night and did not start having the problem until today. Not sure if it's related, but I may as well give as much info as possible.

Same problem! It's bad enough that multiplayer is broken, but single player is completely wrecked too! PLEASE MAKE THIS NUMBER 1 PRIORITY!

I'm seeing the same thing. Whenever I leave the game I'll be back down to 100 when I resume.

I've also noticed that the nano catalyst seems to 'evaporate' or something if you don't rush right over and grab it.

I was killing some aliens at range at one point, sniping them with the silenced sniper rifle. Not one of the ones that I killed had any catalyst. The ones that bum rushed me when I got caught killing their buddies all had it, but when I got to the first ones, nothing.

Is this normal? Did they really implement such a weak mechanic that you have to basically melee them or rush into a crowd to get it before it vanishes?

ive defended crytek for alot of bugs in thsi game, but this bug makes me wonder if they actually tested the game. it was in the leaked beta, and so many people have reported the issue since full release.

I remember years ago there was a program called artmoney that would allow you to change the amount of money you had in RTS games for example. The way it works is very general, it should help in this case also.

My problem started with losing 100 nano catalyst each time I started a session. Now today when I started playing I find I have lost all of my accumulated nano catalyst (something like 1600) and when I kill an alien it tells me I have collected nano catalyst but when I check there is nothing listed. This is a true game breaker. I purchased my game on Steam.

Yep, I noticed losing catalyst points early on in the game but thought I was imagining things. Then I saved up catalyst over like 3-4 chapters and when I loaded up my game it was all down to 0. I thought maybe at the least I could reload a past save and have it come back, but nope. Every save has it at 0 now, and worst yet it won't let me pick up anymore catalyst points. This is game breaking and I can't finish the game now until something is patched. Which svcks cause I had all this free time dedicated to the week of the launch of the game to beat the single player and by the time they patch it I will be really busy. Ugh.

Same problem. Hit continue, no more nano. Can't pick up any more. Restarted. STILL can't pick any up.

And incidentally, all previous nano upgrades and weapon mods were still active on game restart. Not sure if that's supposed to happen either.
