Hi !

I've recently re-started playing FC2 after the save game patch, and I've come across another issue and was wondering if I was the only one.

I collected all the Jackal tapes from the northern area, and upon having arrived in the southern kept on collecting. However, my journal is stuck on #10. Every time I gather a new one, I get the same "Stealing Boots" log that plays, and that's it.

... I'm hoping that despite the latter ones not playing I'll still get my achievement.... tho they since they don't show up in my journal, I'm not holding my breath. *sigh*.

I have the same glitch occurring, and have read of others experiencing it as well. According to some of these accounts, you can still get the acheivement/trophy for finding them all.

I don't care that much about the achievement; what I care about is that I'm missing part of the plot/character development. I hope Ubi is working on a fix that will put the sound files in my inventory where they belong so I can hear them.

Many of us have experienced this particular glitch - myself on the PS3 and the PC, but things seem to have resolved for me - not sure why though. There is a discussion you might read concerning the "Jackal tape glitch" here:

Hi, I'm on my third playthrough and since the patch I got the same "stealing boots" glich too.
I tried to re-play it and see the journalist before I collected any of the second map tapes but had the same problem.

In both instances I collected all 16 tapes and didnt get the achievment as every tape you collect the Journalist will interpret as the same one.

It seems the trigger that is activated after the 9th (and first on the second map) tape is handed in is broken and should be an easy to fix. Relatively.

Will it get fixed?
Will I ever feel a sense of achievment?

I Doubt it.

A thought just occured to me.

There are 16 Jackal Tapes. Some of us get stuck on #10.

BUT, there are 6 predecessor tapes. I've entered the code to unlock the predecssor missions. Nice bonus, btw!

Could it be that the 6 predecessor tapes have taken the slots reserved for the original jackal tapes? Funny coincidence if not!

I've just collected all those again, twice, in an attempt to make it work.
No Joy.

I've just started getting the same thing, both #10, #11 and #12 tapes were the same and my log still seems to think I'm on #10. This mean I'm not going to be able to get the trophy?

Same glitch here. Collect all the tapes but it doesn't recognise any more after 10 and nor does rueban. really annoying how this has messed up fter the patch. if i had known i would of never downloaded the patch untill i did it....
will they fix it or give any answers?

I have the same problem its annoying, hope this gets fixed!

Just a thought...
After i complete the game, i may delete the update(PS3 is it possible? and would it cause you to lose online stats etc?) and then do the tapes.

not ideal, not great but it may be the only way!
Please ubi we shouldn't have to do this.....

Well, I got the last one last night, and much to my chagrin, no achievement. Kinda miffed that I missed out on the story element of it also.

Dontcha think they shoulda given an achievement for having scouted all 57 guard stations?

Imagine what this game would have been if they'd taken the time and money they spent on the multiplayer and instead had used those ressources for the single player.

For me, I had the same glitch but continued to collect the tapes regardless. After I got them all, Ruebin was at the Marina bar and took them off me. I got the Pulizter Material trophy as well.

So the fact you can't see the extra tapes on the menu and it kept playing tape 10 over and over with new ones, it doesn't effect the end result - for me at least.

Handing in the tapes now, lets see if I got the trophy... I just got it.

Where do you take the tapes?

ehh i have same problem
i Have ten tapes , but I find all :-/
Now what ?

I got it to work, you really need to be sure what tapes you have picked up as you just cant tell by pressing start.

got very sick hearing the same old story about the kid and an ak...

Hi

1st, post and just to add a me too! on the tapes stuck at 10 bug. I have stopped collecting them incase it means i can no longer get the achievement. i assume it will be fixed soon. Am a little dissapointed no one official has acknowledged the bug and confirmed it will be fixed. Hell an official go ahead and get the tapes, we can add them to your save at a later date, OR a do NOT get them or it will screw up would be nice too.

That aside, its a great game. am loving it.

Yes. Please to have a mod answer us on whether or not this issue will be fixed. Answer or not, my money's on nothing will ever be done.

so just to confirm... as it seems mixed views, where only 1 can be right !

if i carry on and get the rest of the tapes, on the Xbox360 will i still get the achievement, or will it fail

cheers

Hi All,

I encountered the Jackal Tape Glitch as well so notified Ubisoft, only to be told (patronisingly) by their support person...

The problem your having is a game play issue, if there is part a of the game which isn't working as you expected it to. We are the technical support team who gets the game working as it was designed. We leave it up to yourself on how to complete or play the game.

We can only suggest either re-reading the manual that came with the game (May contain information which helps), and also check you are reading all the instructions before this part of the game.
If your still stuck then check on our official forums to see if any of the other users can highlight how to get past this part. You can find these on the following page :

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forum ... or just look for an Walkthrough for the game on an search engine...

I've replied back (telling them the issue has been discussed many times in the very forum they sent me a link to) and urge anyone else encountering this bug todo the same.

The more people that raise it as an issue the more chance we stand of getting it fixed.
