Hotfix Work In Progress Patch Notes

I guess there is a "submission delay" between to update candidates on Microsoft's side to avoid the overflow of Update that are asked by each studio.
So they're groupping the issues to avoid waiting the delay to deploy the others critical issues.

I hope this is something like that, because else it's a pure non-sense. (Other idea is they're trying to let 14 days passed so that every digital copy cannot be refounded by Microsoft anymore :) Lot of people got a digital copy because there were a ton of delivery issues - french shops did not received the game yet)

Will this hotfix allow players who unlocked everything (including opening all the gates) prior to fighting Scaly Pete to unlock the 100% completion achievement? Because some people are stuck at 99% or something because of a landmark glitch but that's a separate issue.

Just wanted to make sure you guys are aware of the nuance between these two problems. (y)

Dude, I've been trying to get them to be aware of that for a while now... I get that they are stressed and busy, but they don't seem willing to even acknowledge this issue... They're still just telling people to "open all the gates."

Exactly. We did open all the gates before the final fight and now we're stuck with no way to unlock the 100% achievement which has nothing to do with the landmark glitch they've been working on lately. Like you said, it'd be nice if they could at the very least acknowledge the distinct issue we're experiencing and tell us if they intend to do something about it.

I'm not an achievement hunter by any means but when I do invest multiple hours of my life to 100% a game, I expect the achievement in question to pop-up.

.... i don't know why people here praise the devs, IT'S STILL BUGGED!!! are we gonna get a fix for it or what? I'm waiting to make a video on fully upgraded shadow armor shark, but that's not possible thanks to this bug, so how long will it take devs to fix a simple bug? hurry the hell up please.
