wow because the gnome should stay with you intell you have completed the whole chapter. Very strange. Have you tried restarting steam and then load the game? that might work if not i would go to steam support and let them know of the issue and she if they can fix it. Sorry you haveing a problem.

Are you sure one of your team mates were holding the gnome at the time of closing the door of safe house if they drop it was saving the progress the game will spawn without the gnome being on the floor on next selection.

Been a long time since I did it but I'm pretty sure you have to get the Gnome all the way to the helicopter to get the achievement. There are certain spots in each chapter where you can throw the Gnome over the fence so that you can still fight and then pick it up again later. All the times I've seen it done, if no one is holding the Gnome when the safe room door is closed, it will not appear when the next chapter loads.

You pretty much said the same thing I have said earlier and the op said that is not the case.

Maybe the game remembers who first picked up the Gnome and if it is a different person holding it when the safe room door is closed, it will disappear on the next chapter?? I don't know. When I got the achievement, I took it all the way from the shooting gallery to the helicopter. No one else carried it.

The gnome randomly disappearing during the campaign is, sadly, a known bug (at least they warn you about it on the L4D wiki).

Be careful, and I mean EXTRA-careful, where do you drop the gnome. It tends to "fall through" the walls and sometimes even the floors O.o
