What are you trying to prove achievement

**Pitdeadite** · 03-12-09, 08:02 PM

I'm having a problem regarding the "What are you trying to prove?" achievement. As of right now, my achievement page lists that I've completed only 1 out of the 4 campaigns on expert. This isn't accurate at all. I've completed every campaign on expert with the exception of "Blood Harvest". I've even went back and completed on the other campaigns on expert, just to be sure. I've been paying close attention to when I start a game, to make sure that it was still on expert mode. As well as perusing the stats list at the end of the campaign, to read that I completed it on expert. So how come my tally is stuck at 1/4 and not 3/4?

I'll trump that. For the longest time, I had 1 out of 4 for that achievement. Oddly enough, despite the game saying that I had completed one campaign on Expert, it never gave me the Zombicidal Maniac achievement until my SECOND Expert campaign. Now I've done all four, and it still reads 3/4. -_- I have a petition right now open with valve. As of yet, no reply.

Are you sure u played start to finish in one play through. also u need to be connected to the internet to unlock the achievements.

I've got the same problem. I've done death toll twice on expert, from the beginning, also Blood Harvest and Dead Air multiple times, still only showing as 2/4. Now I don't know which ones it's counting so I guess I just have to keep playing them all until it decides I've done it. This is pretty poor.

so far i only have 1/4 and it's from no mercy. I joined in on the finale to help my friends not expecting to get it. in the end I was the only person who unlocked the achievement o.0

same problem here... I used to have 2/4 (not versus all the way to the end, and no death and finale) but then once I started playing Versus again it went back down to 1/4... Not sure if that was the problem. This is really frustrating because I've spent a few hours trying to beat some of these campaigns on Expert and it does'nt even work!

Also I googled this problem and this thread came up so don't flame me for reviving and old thread. I want this problem fixed and I do believe that some people are having the same trouble as I am still. Like the few above me!

Thanks and hopefully Valve reads this and fixes the problem...

You actually have to survive in order to get the achievement
as in get in the rescue vehicle
trust me I know
I had to do No Mercy twice

I completed 3/4 on Expert and I have the "Zombicidal Maniac" achievement. Now if I have the "Zombicidal Maniac (complete just 1 mission on expert) then why does it have me at 0/4 on this achievement?

This is rather annoying and needs to be fixed asap please Valve!

I had zombicidal maniac and 0/4 completion...but that was because the patch took away my What are You Trying to Prove acheivement in the first place.
Before the patch, it seemed like you could get Zombicidal and not actually get in the vehicle. The same was true for What...Prove as well. You could complete it and get 0 and you could die and get 1. It was bugged.

Valve seems to have trouble with their achievements...why else would they just give everyone 1 free achievement in Lamb2Slaughter...because they couldn't get it right in the first place. What/prove is the same thing, the achievement is bugged. It eventually does work but you really need to keep track of when they give you 1 or 0 when you complete a campaign. That's how it was before and from what i gather, its still like that to some extent.

The patch seemed to have reset What/prove for most people. Not all, but quite a great deal of ppl. Why this acheivement was reset in the first place for those that already had it? I have no idea...it doesnt really make sense in fact.

I'm quite annoyed that i have to SURVIVE these campaigns again after already doing them multiple times and earning my achievement in the first place.
