Neither achievement popped for me, even after reverting to the older version after finishing the game. It seems the game deleted all my saves between the penultimate mission briefing and the point in the final mission where I had already collected the four datapads, so there was no "datapad action" left for me to trigger. I’m guessing you probably need to have the game reverted before starting the penultimate mission for it to work properly.

Worked for me as well to unlock "archivist" and "recouped investment".

Guys, it is possible to get this achievement by reverting to an older version of the game, read the following guide:

I used it to unlock “Archivist” and “Recouped Investment”.

when i collect the final datapad at the end of pharos spire mission just after deactivating the anti air turrets its bugged and doesn't count its always that last one..does any 1 know a fix for this bug ?

[Savage Sloth]

First of all, thanks to the author for this useful guide. I have seen that many people here, like me, have had problems unlocking "Archivist". The following guide explains how to downgrade to the older version of the game, which helped me to finally unlock "Archivist" and "Recouped Investment". Hope this helps

Think you should add that you need a hacker in the refinery basement. I missed that one datapad cause I didn't bring a hacker with me.

patch notes say archivist was fixed but i just beat the game on nightmare in new game+ and got all datapads with no luck. even reloaded my last otago save (prior to olduvai dig site) to check my data pads and i had every single one from all prior missions...missing only the 8 from olduvai dig site (which i got during the mission) and the 4 from xeno city (which i also got) but still no achievement.
