MadrigaL DEBUT achievement not working

[〤PHYN1X〤]

Ive done this several times. Yes I have my music on, no i have not done this before. Has anyone ever had this issue? Does anyone know how to fix this? please respond soon.

Madrigal Debut. So it's the one in CE. Yo uactually don't need to be hear the music, especially if you skip killing enemies at the ground. But need to be a certain place, sometimes you have to wait 1-2 minutes.

[〤PHYN1X〤]

alright. spent way too much time on it, so ill do it later, ill give it a try

[UnReaL]

Same for me, I have been trying for the last few hours, I can hear the music just fine but no achievement.

[〤PHYN1X〤]

yeah idk either. try sitting longer at that spot maybe? shine flash light around

[TartanHaggis]

I'm having the same issue. Tried several different difficulties, checked music is on. Shot my gun, flashed torch, stood around for a while. Also done it by flying up with banshee and jumping back in the pelican at the start. Going to assume its bugged.

[〤PHYN1X〤]

alright noted

It's broken on all platforms. You should contact support about it to help get it fixed quicker.

In the meantime you can still unlock this achievement!

Method One

Download an older update from Steam and unlock the achievement. I used Depot Downloader to download an older version of the game.

This is the one that worked for me:

-app 976730 -depot 976731 -manifest 8804662812684949302

-app 976730 -depot 976733 -manifest 2226241906191487542

You need both, one is the Game and the other is the Halo CE Content. When both are downloaded put the "halo1" folder from depot 97633 into the empty "halo1" folder that comes with depot 976731.

Right click Halo:MCC in Steam and select Manage > Browse Local Files. Delete all the current game files (or move them elsewhere as a backup) and replace them with the files you just downloaded.

You know you've done it properly when the game launches normally but you have a different background design in the menu. With this version of the game the achievement will unlock normally with no problems.

Method Two

Requires an Xbox One. See the comment here from Taylon712.[www.trueachievements.com]

"I was able to unlock this achievement today. It must be something with the last update that's preventing this from popping. If you own the disk, then you can delete your local save data, uninstall, then reinstall with your Xbox in offline mode. After installed, it will tell you that you have to go online to finish installation. Go online and try to enter the game. It will tell you that the game needs an update. Hit CANCEL. No go back offline and the game should start up for you now. Version 1.0.4 I think. I fulfilled the requirements for the achievement and then finished the level. At the beginning of the next mission, I hit "Save and Quit" Exit the game, and go back online with your console. Now you can do the update. Sometime during or after the update, I came back out to see that the achievement had unlocked for me. Hope this works for out for everyone else!"

thank you!!! took me 2hrs or so to get method 1 to work, but it did!

tips for anyone that's gonna try this:
- delete everything in your halo:mcc folder before you move the files from the depot folder. i kept getting easy anti-cheat errors until i deleted everything

- before starting the game, disconnect from the internet (not offline mode on steam, just disconnect from internet), and then reconnect when in-level. i kept getting crashes at the mcc menu

[Heraizen]

Cool, glad to help. Yeah you don't wan't to overwrite the files because the game gets confused which version you have. I just moved all the existing files to another folder so I wouldn't have to redownload the latest version.

I also didn't have to disconnect from the internet at all, but good to know in case others have any issues.
