weapon attachment unlocks awarded for no reason..

Post » Wed Jul 13, 2011 2:40 am

Hey everyone. I have an issue that I'm really confused about. I kind of don't mind, but at the same time...I don't like it. Earlier today I reached my 3 nanosuit reboot and played around some more up to about rank 10. I had been using the jackal almost exclusively because I am working on the dogtag for it. Anyways, a little later I decide to jump back on and low and behold...my XP had disappeared, I was back down to rank 7, and all my unlocked suit modules were downgraded or lost kills..whatever, I've become use to that. What really confused me was for some reason I had 50 weapon attachment unlocks for absolutely no reason, some to weapons I have not even unlocked yet. I'm not a hacker, haven't attempted in any way to cause something like this to happen, but...I'm really confused. Any idea why this would happen? Anyone else experience this? Any info would be great, thanks everyone.

Hy,
i won't feel alone anymore. It seems i have the same issue you described. I have problems with weapon attachment since my first nanosuit reboot.
First time i 've done a reboot, i lvl up a little and took a shotgun attachment on scar and could not shoot with it. I had a weapon attachement unlock, unlocked the mini shotgun and could switch to it in game but i had no ammo. I 've done 1000 kills with the scar unlocked all attachment but still no ammo in mini shotgun. OK lvl 50 again, let's reboot another time. So on my second nanosuit reboot i lvl up to something like lvl 20 and suddenly got 40 weapon attachment unlock avaible and some weapon i didn't use at all already have all attachement unlocks. each time i can access a new weapon i allready have enough attachment unlocks. BUT if for example i take grendel, got no kills with it (or less than 20) and unlock an attachment like grenade launcher or mini shotgun, it won't work. In fact using those attachment unlocks without having enough kills makes the weapons attachment bugged until next nanosuit reboot. So if you suddenly have attachment unlock you shouldn't, watch carefully if you have enough kill with your weapon before using it. I've done like that on my second reboot. All my attachment works cause i wait until i'm sure i have enough kills to unlock another one. I've nearly unlocked all attachment on all weapon and still have 40 weapon attachment unlock to be used. I found a way to avoid the bug but it's anoying cause some weapon unlocks attachement are at 20, 100 then 200 kills and some at 20 200 then 500 so i need to check for each weapon if the next step using it will give a new attchment unlock or not. I've found no one else (until you) having this problem. I play crysis 2 on pc and don't know if ps3 or xbox have the same bug. English is not first langage i hope i was understable.

Wow. That's really odd. Have you informed Crytek yet?

sounds like writing problems with the server and stats saving/not saving after reboot..

Here i come again, third nanosuit reboot worked fine until i reached lvl 29. Before that level, obtaining an attachment unlock worked in a normal way, first unlock after 20 kills, 50 kills for the second 100 or 200 for the thirth depending the weapon etc. BUT as soon as i reached lvl 29 i got my 40 weapon attachment unlock back again, coming from nowhere. If i go to optimization menu (got french game, i'm not sure of the english name) i see 40 unlock available. And in weapon menu each weapon have already enough weapon attachment unlocks to unlock all item. For example i decide to take scarab and ho ! allready 8 attachment unlocks available with 0 kill ! That becomes funny when i take the gun. I don't use those unlocks and keep playing the normal way, i go back after 20 scarab kill and ho ! I now have 9 scarab attachment unlocks ! The good news, i've tried to unlock all scarab attachment without having enough kills and it worked fine this time, meaning i have ammo for minigun or mini gauss witch was always empty on my 2nd nanosuit reboot (see my first post). The bad news, it seems playing with thoses weapons not fairly boosted made me ejected from some servers. I can't say if that's linked. Some other thing i can tell to crytek devs is that uninstall and reinstall of crysis 2 being lvl 50 made my nanosuit rebooted without asking me. I can also tell if you use sowftware like ghost or acronis true image home to backup your hard drive. loading a previous backup of your system partition (where crysis 2 saves are) will cause your nanosuit to reboot :(. I know that cause my first nanosuit reboot was from reinstalling crysis 2 as i was lvl 50 and second reboot was from loading a backup of my C:\ while i was lvl 50. First time i had to restart from lvl 10 (why not lvl 5 as i've limited edition) and second nanosuit reboot made start from lvl 11 maybe cause i 've played a couple of days being lvl 50 and gaining exp without rebooting my nanosuit.
All i would like for my next nano reboot is, choosing MYSELF when i want to reboot, start again from lvl 5 cause i have limited edition, unlock weapon attachment with my own skill and have them working (means having ammo inside).

Yes, attachment unlocks carry over reboots. I didn't complain, I just unlocked everything. I don't tend complain about free stuff. ;)
