Info About Nano Catalyst Bug

Post » Mon Oct 11, 2010 6:13 pm

I was thinking about the nano catalyst problem and I think I might know why it does not effect everyone. In my games it seemed to only occur if I died and then completely exited the game. If I then went back into the game my points were zeroed out and I could not accumulate them. However, if I went back to a game that I exited LIVE at a checkpoint I had points and was able to accumulate them. Unfortunately, now that I have finished the game it is completely broken on my second play through. I would be happy to send my game save to Crytek save showing the problem.

Nope, that's not it.
I quit playing last night right after I reached a check-point. So I quit while alive and had 500 nano. Now I just started the game to resume and I'm already down to 300.

That's even weirder than them all disappearing. Were you able to keep accumulating them when you continued your game?

This happened to me the first time around. I restarted the campaing and I'm now a few missions away from more Ceph so I cannot easily test it. However I did load and quit a couple of times just now and I seemed to lose 200 nano every time I quit the game. I suspect now that the nano count is 0 I won't be able to collect them any more.
Interesting fact is that if I load a game and notice I have lost nano, it's lost for *all saved games*. Say I open save game "15" for instance and see I have lost nano. I then quit and load save game "14" which is at a check point before "15", but after I had collected all the nano, I still have lost the 200 nano there as well. the lost seems to be game wide and not specific to a certain save game.

I don't even get them to count in anymore, although I got all but three features, but still.

Ugh...stupid registration system. I deleted my yeep@... account because I don't want to use one of my e-mail addresses as a username in plain sight and all, so I reregistered, which unfortunately meant I had to use another name and e-mail account...

I think it's due to the game getting confused as to whether you've finished it or not, since if you start a new game+ after unlocking all the suit modules you can't collect nano catalyst anymore. You get the prompt, but the count never goes up.
