Hard - Gold Career Achievement

[hiriel]

I have been trying to get the Hard - Bronze/Silver/Gold Career achievements. While playing through the last scenario on the list, Bernie Goodwin Memorial, I got the Bronze and Silver achievements when I finished those goals in the scenario. However, finishing gold on the scenario didn't trigger the gold achievement, and I also tried reloading a save from before I finished gold and doing it again, no luck. Is there any way to see what specifically I'm missing to complete a given achievement?

So... just checking back to when I got that cheevo (without much trouble)... did you do all the things indicated in the screenie? (Excuse my vertical monstrosity of a zoo) ...

If you had all of those requirements and the cheevo didn't proc... it might have bugged out for you.

As I recall, I had roughly similar issues in that stage with all the buried toxic waste in the Amazon. I did what was necessary but it didn't count as completed until I did the whole thing again from scratch.

I did everything needed to trigger getting gold on the scenario - but the achievement didn't trigger. So I'm wondering if it's a bug, or if there's one other zoo out there where I've only done bronze and silver - but if there is I can't figure out which, as they've all been completed to gold on lower difficulties. So is there a way of finding out which specific zoo is keeping me at 11/12 ?

Not short of going through each one and checking if you met all the conditions. The game should still have every single save file from every Campaign zoo you've done, assuming you didn't manually delete them... so it should be fine to just open each one and check.
I did it all on Hard Mode the first time so I got the Hard Gold when I got the regular Gold.

You should see the stars against the scenario on the menu, but if you've also done the normal diff it will show that in place if you've not done hard. There's a separate icon which is 3 vertical lines like a bar chart - this indicates the difficulty you've got those stars on. So you need to look on the scenario menu for either no gold star, or only 2 bars on the difficulty icon.

See, I knew that, and I had already checked. Like three times. But ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, there was one park in the middle of the list that I for some reason moved on from before I finished gold, and I never noticed. Thanks for making me check again (and feel like a fool) :)

If it helps put things in perspective... I managed to lose my work laptop yesterday somewhere between leaving the office and getting home... and I only noticed this morning that it wasn't there. Spent the whole day trying to get a replacement, and I've lost months of work (and cost the company a few hundred quid)... all because I wasn't paying attention when I got off the bus yesterday.
In the grand scheme of things, not noticing a gold star against a stage in this game is probably kinda minor by comparison.

... I'm not sure why I feel the need to tell strangers about my screw-ups... but I've no shortage of them.
