All graffiti but no final character.

[DescipleOfZen]

To avoid spoilers, not going to say the name, but you get a character for doing all tags.

I've been to every borough post-game and have unlocked all the characters / done their requirements / challenges. I have collected all the maps and none of the stages show any remaining graffiti, yet no character.

Is this a known bug? Has anyone found a tag that isn't on the map at all?

In some levels, my rep is screwy. Pyramid and brink show I have MORE than the total.. I don't know anymore lol.

Did you get the stupid one behind the fence in Mataan that requires you to do the trick-boost jump on foot? That one had me stumped for ages.

There are also a few that just don't show up on the map because they're in weird places and the map kinda sucks. The biggest culprit for me was a suspended platform by (I think) the elephants in Mataan that actually has a second little tag on around the back it that I only found by sheer luck.

Yeah, that dumb jump-trick tag managed to show up for me, actually. That small tag also appeared for me, as well.

Playing on GOG version, so not like I can check achievements for progress. Ugh, this stupid REP ♥♥♥♥ is so vague post game and some levels don't even display it properly. Would it kill for just a S/M/L/XL stat in a pause menu? geez, I think I give up lmfao.

I'm genuinely fed up with this BS oversight schittttttt...

Huh o-o It's weird that they didn't add achievements to the GOG version. GOG does support achievements, so why they didn't bother is beyond me. They definitely should address that.

They didn't for whatever reason. GOG also doesn't have the DLC, soundtrack AND they're neglecting the forums, which is why I'm here.

The dev said GOG wasn't even planned, it was a demand thing. They won't work on it until after the console releases.

I think I give up / my game is permanently bugged, I watched a graffiti tutorial for ALL areas and ALL of them are sprayed. ALL, but no character....

Sucks too because I initially lost all my data, so this is me doing a 13+ hour playthru after an already 9 hour long playthru that got corrupted.. -.- ffs

It's a similar issue to the switch, and someone else on another post brought up the point of no achievements for those platforms. So I imagine that the unlock is tied to an achievement you can't get.

Did you get the elusive spot at the hideout? I didn't know about that one until I saw screenshots of how to reach it.

For the record, if this was a bug on GOG, it should be on Steam and Switch. There've been no patches since release, so we should all be playing the same version.

Actions in game unlock achievements, not the other way around. There's also no achievement linked specifically to the Oldhead unlock. None of the characters have achievements relating to them.

No but it seems the unlock for oldhead is linked to achievement progress, rather than rep progress. I assume it's a check that is explicitly tagged as such. So due to the lack of achievements on those two fronts, the check never passes.

That'd be such a weird way to go about it, though. I never heard of content being tied to achievement progress. Anything similar (such as CrossCode's achievements and how they tie to NG+) tends to have flags in-game instead of relying solely on Steam's tracking of achievements, which in itself relies on flags from the game.

But if that's the case, here's a possible solution: there's a specific graffiti spot in Brink Terminal that doesn't persist. It always goes blank, I'm not sure if after you finish a game session or on zone transition. But either way, it does decrease the Brink Terminal rep. In theory, tagging that spot again should bump the Brink Terminal rep, which should unlock Oldhead if rep in all other areas is capped.

That's the only spot I noticed with this problem, as did others. It's the billboard across the bus station, the one you have to reach by jumping from the top of billboard on the raised parking lot.

If this solves the problem, then the Oldhead unlock is indeed tied to achievement progress. I unlocked him despite this specific spot being blank because I already had the achievement for Brink Terminal.

It's a bug. Switch users are experiencing it too. I hope it's something they get around to fixing.

[DescipleOfZen]

I quote from the Developer: " It's not unlockable on switch, because that version was submitted before this feature was brought in altogether (and it's already prepared to work with the first Switch update). ", so we're clearly not on the same builds.

It simply doesn't exist on Switch yet, so the bug only pertains to GOG. Still, big middle finger to all of us on the GOG version. The dev has stated 3 times now that GOG is not on the priority list, so I doubt we'll be getting updates quick as well.. GOG feels like 2nd rate citizenship sometimes.

I expect we'll be pushing the fixes we do for everyone onto a GOG build alongside steam - however I don't expect us to look into, learn and implement GOG specific features before we finish more critical work that stops people from playing.

They really just don't care, and I'm fed up.

why not getting it on steam? not trying to be the bad guy here but these are the steam forums and the ones who bought it on steam are able to unlock that character (from what ive seen, myself included) so shouldnt that be an issue that should be taken on gog forums? im not telling you not to post here or whatever im glad people here can help others but its like posting on a playstation forum a known issue for xbox users. I know you get more attention here and the situation sucks, i wouldnt like being in that position either but like you said, theyre different builds, who knows if they will update it, i hope they do but imo if you want those features, getting the appropriate "build" should be for the best.

The developer didn't even know GOG had forums, he said that 3 days ago. There is no choice but to post here, considering they're still neglected to this very hour.

BOTH are PC at the end of the day, it's not the same as being a different console. The only difference is GOG doesn't need a launcher / galaxy is optional and i'm willing to bet the only reason the schitt doesn't work on GOG is because the steam achievement hullabaloo is commented out of the code since they didn't use the GOG API and unlocks are tied to such, as least that's how it seems as of now.

They said the first switch patch addresses the issue, so it should be the same for PC, which should include GOG. I really hope they're updated in parity otherwise it's just unfortunate BS.

I will buy on GOG when possible, and I'm not changing that. If It wasn't for them being DRM free, I'd just play on console honestly. I have quite a few games on Steam, maybe about 130 or so, and half of them need some form of external launcher beyond steam like uPlay or Origin, and it's bogus as well.

None of that is on GOG, and you can backup offline installers. That is why my money goes there, generally.

Just really depressing, at the end of the day. I really love this game, but I also love GOG. I hope we get the DLC there soon, and I am eager for the patch.
