Cassette tape problem?

[joh07657]

I have found all the tapes in the following link, but my game says 17/19. I can go through the menus and see all 7 of Chico's tapes, play Here's to you, playResurgence and Theme of Tara, as well as Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner. I know have got both tapes from Classified Intel Aquisition (and completed the mission)

What can I be missing? (I have got the tapes fro deja vu and jamais vu on both difficulties)

I have the same problem, I'm currently sitting at 96% completion with all the cassette tapes in my library, but only reading 17/19 (instead of the max 18/19 for the English Version)

There is one in the Deja vu and Jamais vu missions, by the bay near the mines. Remember you have to finish the mission after collecting it. If those aren't the last one, look at your tapes then compare it to a list of tapes in the game (might be the music in the cell next to Chico's, or something).

You can find the 19th tape on youtube.

I haven't seen a difference to tape collection depending on the difficulty.

I also think that it's not necessary to complete the mission after recovery (Edit: but the mission will need to be completed if it's the last tape needed for Chico's Tape (All), which is unlockable only through the post-mission rewards screen), just that there is a checkpoint reached after acquisition so that the game saves. You can test this out by playing the GZ mission and going for Tape 5 and/or 2, then running to get Paz or Chico to ensure a checkpoint occurs and finally exiting the mission. I was missing Tape 5 and did this successfully (count went from 16/19 to 17/19 and the tape is in the library). If completing the mission was necessary for correctly reading to get the achievement, but this is allowable, my count would be 18/19, since I have the full library.

It seems that our only way of resolving it so far would be to run to the physical location of the tape in each appropriate mission and see if it's still there, despite passing the game's check for it in the library. Also do the missions that give a tape upon completion again. We might be able to bypass this cause I heard somewhere else that running the Classified Intel Acquisition mission and holding up the guard for the secondary tape and picking it up will make the game recheck the tape library, which might read our full collection in the library. Then someone else apparently had to play EACH tape in their library for it to register, but I already tried this myself to no avail.

Ah, I guess you just need to hit a checkpoint after grabbing it, then.

Afraid if all of them are in the library, you'll have to just manually check all the tape locations.

The (Phantom) pain is real. I'll conduct my search now and get back with the outcome.

Call me Vic Boss. CGBS, try playing through the GZ mission again and completing it (Sorry, Mask, I didn't realize the Chico's Tape (All) was only gifted in after-mission rewards). Upon completion, I was FINALLY granted the Chico's Tape (All), which is given if you have all seven individual Chico tapes. I saw its existence in some of the guides I found, but wasn't sure how to trigger it in-game and sort of forgot about it.

Apparently, what might have happened to us was that we had gathered all the Chico tapes, but then exitted the mission before completion, which omitted us from getting the Chico Tape (all), since it's only retrievable through the rewards popup and not automatically given upon registering all 7 tapes.

I went into the GZ mission and extracted Chico, before Paz, at the mission start extraction zone (giving Tape 3 again); incase that somehow factors into it.

Another thing you could also try in the name of science is another mission entirely that you can do really fast and then check the rewards screen after completion to see if it will trigger the Chico Tape (All) flag. This would mean the game checks the player's tape library whenever the rewards screen is scheduled to show. If all seven tapes are in possession, the game unlocks the Chico Tape (all).

Thank you for the all the replies. Unfortunately, I do have Chico's tape (all) in my library as well. I have completed the GZ mission probably a couple of times after the fact. I guess I will try to go to every location and try and hit a checkpoint

My condolences, good luck on your mission, Punished Snake.
