What a nightmare

Morning folks,
Sorry for the lack of posts this week with E3 being on at the start I was pretty much glued to the screen watching all the nice trailers being shown. I did plan to write some posts yesterday but then I realised my Xbox One had stopped earning achievements altogether. On Monday I noticed a problem with Tomb Raider and thought it was just the game bugging out. But yesterday I was missing about eight achievements across two different games. So spent the evening/night chatting on twitter with the Xbox support trying to find the problem.

Got to say they was helpful but in the end I found the problem, seemed my achievement app had broken. Everyone thought it was a delay since it can take up to 48 hours for an achievement to pop which shocked me since up to this week it's always been instant for me. I looked into it and there are few cases where people would have 100% requirements listed under the achievement but still unlocked. It would then unlock randomly days after at any point, mine did not have that. The requirement bar did not budge from 50% even though I did the requirements more then once. Anyway I got it working again this morning by doing a full factory reset, pain in the ass since I now have to reinstall everything again. Hopefully I've not lost too much in the ways of progression as well but achievements are working again.

Down side is though I got to re-earn them all again since they did not unlock and that's annoying because I got two luck achievements yesterday in Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare that I had been trying for months for. Argh!! such a pain! oh well hopefully my next matches will turn out great again.

So folks I will be doing some E3 stuff hopefully this afternoon/evening once I've caught on my jobs that I missed yesterday, until then have a good one folks.
