Glitches/Help with some Untoled Stories (Episodes 2-4) Collectables

[5persondude]

after finally finishing all 4 of the Untoled Stories, i realized that ive encountered a few bugs regarding with the collectables within each respectable Episode (excluding Episode 1 with Commander Kane, which i was able to get all of them without an issue)

Anyways, these are a few notes about the Collectables in some of the Untoled Stories Episodes that id like to share. I only have 4 things id like to note, 2 of which are Bugs, the other 2 i had no idea existed as collectables:

Episode 2 (with Angel):
-(Help) Gaurdian Angel Achievement: Rescue all Survivors
**I had no idea that there are survivors to rescue in Episode 2. Other than the optional "Stop the Execution" pop-up missions, there was nothing else that notified be about Side Quests or Collactables regarding Survivors

Episode 3 (with Hunter, the earliest Psycho Boss in the main story):
-(Bug) Add to the Collection Acievement: All Custom Motorcycles collected for Torgue
**After collecting a certian amount of Toruge's Custom Bikes, the SIde Quests Markers suddenly dissapeared off of the Map, but the Quest itself was still availible. The only Bike i actually noticed dissapear from the map was one on the bridge connecting Central City and (i think its called) South Almuda (Southern-most bridge on the map), although im positive that others were gone too.

Episode 4 (with Brad Park):
-(Help) Sworn to Protect Achievement: Rescue all Survivors
**Same as the issue i encountered in Episode 2; had no clue that they were required to be rescued for an Achievement
-(Bug) Ashes to Ashes Achievement: All Biohazards burned
**Once i had gotten 37 out of 40 of the Biohazards burned, the number just stayed at 37 even after burning more piles of bodies. The last 3 that i were supposed to get, all in Ingleton, on my way to the Taxi Co Prison Camp to get the Black Box from Kane, did not count for whatever reason, even though i still got a 10000 PP bonus and a notification still showed up for "37 out of 40 Biohazards burned" in the top left corner of the screen

Anyways, has anyone else encountered bugs like these, or at least knows how not to trigger them? Ive still got like 4 Achievements from the Untold Stories Episodes that i didnt get because i either didnt know about rescuing survivors or had encountered wierd bugs. Thanks! All feedback is appreciated!

Episode 2 Guarding Angel: Stop the Execution pop up missions are the missions you have to do. There are 8 of these missions, each have 3 people about to be executed. The survivors will appear on the map after you talk to Winnie and Doug calls you back to the school because they are under attack. Also, the group in the flood control section of the map (number 1 on the map) must be saved before crossing the bridge between Central City and South Almuda otherwise those survivors will dissapear and you will not be able to save them and wil have to start a new playthrough. Youtube the locations if needed.

Episode 3 Add to the Collection: The blue icons for the mission dissapeared because all of the captians were killed before that mission was complete and it went into a cutscene. You can still bring back the bikes and they will still count and the achievement should still unlock. The bikes must be parked inside the store and Torque will make a comment letting you know you successfully delived the bike. All bikes must be returned before you face the last boss. If you blew up a bike or got it stuck then you will have to restart. Youtube the locations if needed.

Episode 4 Sworn to Protect: The suvivors are avialable right from the start to rescue. There are 20 to save, 5 in each district. Just start a new playthrough after you finish the current one you are on and rescue them as the first thing you do. Youtube the locations if needed.

Episode 4 Ashes to Ashes and Bootleg Operator: *YOU HAVE TO COLLECT ALL IN ONE SINGLE PLAY SESSION* Some do not appear on the map but are still able to be collected. Youtube locations and you may have to revisit all of them to find the ones you missed. There is another glitch as well which is the one I currently have which was caused because I did not collect them all in one session. This glitch makes it so when you collect a biohazard it does not add to the count, so for example you have 37 then collect another and it still says 37, instead of 38. The only way to fix this is to remove your save file and start an entire new save file (which means you will be level 1 again) and then replay the DLC collecting all in one single session. I have not wanted to make a new save so I have not done this yet.

damn, thats enough text to fill a novel. still, i read every word and your tips were not only greatly appreciated, but helpful. ill get the other 8 Achievements i still need, then replay Episode 4 and see how the Ashes to Ashes AChievement glitch works out, and if it turns out i have the same glitch as you (which im almost certian it is), ill delete my save once its the LAST Achievement on the list

anyways, thanks so much for the help! i was really confused about some of the Achievements for the Untold Stories. TBH, im not surprised that Capcom would be lazy enough to leave bugs that prevent you from getting Achievements, considering that Dead Rising 2 and Off the Record have a few extra bugs in them AFTER the Steamworks transition (such as crashing when leaving PC Settings Menu and Chuck and Frank's in-game movements being interrupted every 10 seconds) that werent even in the Games for Windows Live version to begin with

I do not think you have to delete your current save. I am pretty sure you can just slide it out of the folder and then slide it back in after you do the Episode 4 achievements.
