I have played through the campaign without changing difficulty multiple times, and “Wings of Liberty: Hard 25” remains stuck at 20. I have (many years ago) earned “Wings of Liberty: Brutal 25”, which I would have assumed would unlock the “hard” version at the same time.
Is there any way to reset this achievement?
Thanks!
I am literally in the exact same situation as you! The only difference is that my Hard campaign achievement progress is stuck at 0/25 now even though I achieved 20/25 in 2010. I even completed the campaign on Brutal recently, but that did not give credit towards the Hard achievement.
This is my request for help.
I even tried deleting the Blizzard cache as suggested by the GM in my post, but that didn’t fix it.
That actually is my situation, I should have been clearer. Yeah, the “Hard” achievement is stuck showing 0/25, but I did achieve Hard 20.
I hope there’s a fix. This is the last achievement I need to 100% WoL. I would like to add that I started a new campaign on Hard difficulty, and I still am showing 0/25 progress on the achievement after the first 3 missions.
Ive had this isue back in 2010 and after a long brake I wanted to see if I could get my 100% this week but also after a few misions it gets stuck on 0/25.
Any chance on a fix or a reason why?
It has been 14 YEARS. Just replayed through the Wings of Liberty campaign on Hard because I was so sure they’d have fixed this bug within F O U R T E E N Y E A R S.
May I please get an ETA on when I can expect to be able to have access to completion rewards?
Unfortunately, not likely ever.
SC2 ended development almost four years ago.
Except for game breaking, large impact bugs, how SC2 is now is how it will remain for the rest of its operational life.
Completely insane that they can’t fix a single achievement to be force granted on completion knowing it’s been bugged for 14 years.
It’s blocking me from all of the meta achievements and rewards that come with them, and has been for 14 years.
I feel like such a moron for caring about this company and their games and the devs for 26 years when they couldn’t care less. I truly get what I deserve every time I pay for any of their products.
Understand that regardless of the time it existed, it’s exceptionally rare. I was able to get that achievement as many others did, so something must be working somewhere.
Being rare means difficult to reproduce. And if it can’t be reproduced internally, there’s no place to start the fixing process.
Sorry about your experience. I understand the completionist mentality. But with no way to fix the bug, no tools that make it physicially possible to grant it, and no logs on the back end for Bliz to verify that it’s been earned, there isn’t a way to fix or manually grant achievements.
So it’s not a matter of not caring. No business would overtly drive customers away.
They can see I have Hard completionist for all 29 missions completed, they can see I have Brutal 25 and Brutal completionist 29 for verification.
It’s rare because it was a bug from launch where everyone who played through launch night on Hard had this bug, and we’ve been waiting and posting ever since for help.
But if anyone was ever working on fixing it for us they were probably fired long ago, and replaced by people who were fired, and any skeleton crew currently on Blizzard’s ship of theseus may be unaware that it’s even still a problem or that the few of us loyal or devoted enough to still be playing since launch are still stranded with permanently softlocked accounts.
Not on the back end where it can be internally verified, unfortunately.
It’s been reported in that and similar multistep achievements in WoL between then and now as well. There’s been some in the past year.
Any time it’s been posted in the Bug Report forum through out the years, it’s been seen, so QA/the devs would have been reminded of it each time.
An achievement not working wouldn’t be characterized as softlocked account. There would have to be a lot of core functionality disabled for something like that.
The game remains in a playable state, but progression towards the meta achievements and rewards like account and loading screen banners is permanently inaccessible until someone has the heart to fix it after 14 years and counting.
If I can’t achieve 25 victories even when completing them, it’s in a playable but unwinnable state and is softlocked.
Be back in a few months to see if it’s fixed I guess and make another bug report if it’s not, wishing the devs and players who are still around lots of love. Poured almost 30 years of time and love into this series and really wanted to fully complete it.
Just to circle back around to my first reply, it likely won’t ever be fixed, unfortunately. If it wasn’t fixed in the 10 years SC2 was actively developed, there’s virtually no chance that it would be now that it’s retired.
We can hope that someday SC2 is picked back up as some kind of remaster or revival.
My second CS reply in my ticket read the ticket and said they were not aware of this issue and that I should report it on the bug report forums, though we’ve been posting about it since launch and sending tickets.
Should I bump the other posts I can find on the new forums about this issue? Can threads be consolidated? I’d also be willing just to quote other posts using this thread.
That’s just CS not knowing about it. CS would only know about problem when it makes it to a fixing phase.
QA, who watches the Bug Report forums, would have it cataloged. But if it’s not reproducible, it doesn’t make it much farther.
You can definitely post about it. My reply was just informational about the likelihood of it being fixed. I wasn’t trying to discourage posting or anything like that.
